Panther or Daytona?

Post by **Jamesch** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 7:59 am

Hi all,

Have just ordered my new RS6. I have been told I have until tomorrow to change anything (believe I have build week 23).

Specs are:

Panther Black (crystal)
21" polished alloys
Sunroof
Sports exhaust
Parking Pack
Rear seat heating
Rear airbags

I have been agonising over two questions:

1. Should I stick with Panther Black (crystal) or change to Daytona Grey (pearl)? Have never seen either in the flesh. Test drove a Misano Red RS6.

2. Should I add Privacy Glass to the specs?

Would greatly appreciate your views/advice.

Many thanks

Hi

Whereabouts in the country are you? I have the panther crystal and I love it. Very hard to see how it looks in pictures though!
As for the tints, I personally love them, but they are a very easy retrofit, should you change your mind. Probably cheaper too!

Zoom in may give you an idea

OP is asking about Panther not Phantom.
I was going to get Daytona but went for Panther in the end, which I'm pleased about.
Bit more exclusive I think; there are loads of ' normal ' Audis in Daytona.

If you are near Guildford in Surrey then go Daytona - I don't want another Panther Black near me.

Seriously. Panther and black wheels is stunning - I am sooooo pleased with the colour combo. The pic below isn't my actual car, but it looks just like it:

Can't comment on the body colours, but 100% opt for Privacy glass. It's a small cost in the grand scheme of things & the RS6 is a big car with a lot of glass so all clear would not look right in my opinion.

Black estate car with privacy glass = Hearse.

Privacy glass is always a personal thing. I don't have it and to me the car looks more cohesive because of the continuity of the glass tint from front to rear.

With or without? Pics would be great, I can't make my mind up!

Yes with privacy, carbon & black 21's.
As much dark as possible makes a great contrast against the Nardo.
If there was an idiots guide to posting pictures using nothing more than a mobile phone I'd happily oblige.

Your usernames are so similar (bobjebb / bobededog) that I have only just realised you aren't one person having a schizophrenic session with yourself.

I'm bias cause mines as per the pic. I've also continued the tint to the fronts(retro at £80) to blend it in. Daytona is an amazing colour and a in different light it can look allsorts of different colours. Also polished up its like glass.

LOL +1, on the ipad on my lap the names looked identical at first, I had to re-read several times.
