My new car

Post by Midds » Sun Nov 20, 2011 9:35 am

Done it!

2005/05, 46k, 1 owner Dolphin Grey / Black leather car ends up on my drive - very soon to be heading to Unit 20 for service and Bilsteins (car was cheap due to leaky shock - discussions with Martin mean I went for it anyway and am going to book it in for service, gearbox oil, anti-roll bar and Bilsteins)

Will post pics when I'm near a PC, iPhone won't do this...

Very happy

Sounds a nice example

Do you mean Daytona Grey, or was it Audi Exclusive paint?

Could be offside front door and wing.

And it looks Daytona Grey to me..

I had a Dolphin Grey B6 S4 Avant - nice colour but Daytona is nicer.
