Hi all,

Just got the old girl back from her yearly major clean & thought I'd share it with you all.

Same colour as mine. And dark interior like mine too - leather or alcantara?

I think these look awesome in black with black interior - well worth the effort of polishing them up etc - just a fkkn aggro to keep on top of and black shows the dirt so quickly.

It looks like a dark interior in the pictures Matt but it's light grey with black piping. I wanted black but couldn't find the right one when we got her.
You are all right guys black is the best colour & the fastest :wink:

Mines black with black interior also shows up stone chips more than normal too!!

True! Mine's black alcantara interior with aluminium trim - I originally was looking for black with black leather interior and carbon trim - but when I saw the alcantara (including the wheel) with aluminium trim I was completely hooked. I've actually never seen another one like it - although there must be some, of course.

In fact this got me thinking about "options", I've just priced up the options mine came with:
* Base OTR Price : 59875
* Alcantara Seats : 1450
* Electric Steering Column : 345
* 3 Spoke Sports Wheel : 400
* Aluminium Fascia : 400
* Rear Window Blinds : 205
* Alcantara Headling : 2100 (but they all came with this, I think)
* Mirrors : 240+120
* Sunroof : 1035
* Double Glazing : 1100

I priced up mine once and I think it was close to £70k it's mental what they class as a "option"!

I had my wheel recovered in alcantara not long after I got it

Do you find yourself smoking a pipe to go with your wood trim?
No matter where you go, there you are.

I've got the grey wood trim in mine and it's awful. Gonna wrap mine in gloss black too but extend it to the air vents and door handle surrounds.

Oh and i love the rs6 in black especially with black optics.

I didn't wanna say anything in case you guys all love wood - but not just on the RS6, generally, I don't know what the <beep> goes through peoples mind when they spec wood. There is no place for wood in a modern car.
