My biggest problem with the C7s looks are the stoooopid rear bumper, but that colour^^^^ kinda hides it well. Looks really nice.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

Can you get Audi to paint it that colour? I want an imperial blue car at some point.

you'll get very very close to this with Audi's Mica Racing blue - I was tempted by this colour myself, but went for another shade in the end.

Strange you should say that. I actually considered there might be some small re-design of the rear bumper on the Nagaro blue car I was looking at because it looked quite a lot nicer than I remembered from my (Daytona Grey) mk1 RS! Colour can make a big difference.

The 2015 cars do have a slightly different rear bumper don't they? Or am I seeing things -again?

Back to Black Silas, you sure?

I was going to say Nardo but didn't realise how popular they are, when you look at the Audi network cars available. Mind you. Like your Riviera Blue, actually seeing one on the road is a totally different proposition.

Darker colours suit the car well and Merlin is something different, although you'll still be visiting Richard every 12 months I'd imagine.

Merlins nice but with at least 2 uk cars on air ride and aftermarket wheels it will always be compared to them.

I agree it looks terrible there. I think the other one (666RS) looked awesome when it was lowered (not on air) and had those aftermarket wheels (might have been ADVs). Those photos of it were when I first started to really consider it as a future car.

yeah, that one on the ADV's looked great, but its just something about this that just doesn't look right to me. Its just too low! Wonder what the handling is actually like once you change the system to air....

Probably no worse than the standard air suspension.

I think I've seen better photos of that particular car but the other one looked better whem it was lowered.

A dark red (cherry?) - think there was an RS4 on here in that colour. Anyway, matching exclusive seatbelts is a nice touch and would be something to consider if the Dark Blue colour choice wins out.

Couldn't resist a visit to Coulsdon to see the noggy 6 - gutted I did because it looks so damned good that I wish I'd left it a surprise.

I call Rule 1.

Particularly, as I seem to be alone in the - I don't like Nogaro Blue camp. :sekret:

Noggy on the C7 looks amazing with black optics.
