I really really love the colour. I remember back in the early noughties, a good friend of mine ordered his TT Roadster in Merlin, and for me that colour has stuck ever since. I saw a new RS3 the other day, which looked great.
But, personally (and I know it's a subjective thing) I don't like the alu trim and silver wheels. As the Merlin C7 (666 RS) demonstrates, I think it needs the black styling package.

Ross, I'm sure you've mentioned it before but the answer hasn't stuck in my pea sized brain.
Is yours Velvet Purple or Merlin Purple?
This was the one I was refering to earlier -

I've seen velvet in the metal on an S3, it's a very flat colour. Merlin wipes the floor with it on every level. Depth, shine and sparkle.
