Agree with that - each of us can do what we like to our own cars, but since we are all individuals we will like different things so we can't expect to agree with each other on everything.

Why would these colours not work in vinyl? I think I'll change my Phantom Black RS avant to orange just to p*ss off everyone on here :lol:

Modding is for cocks...

:roll:

I dare you to call these boys "MAX POWER cocks".

That 3.0L bi-turbo is a good engine. Or is it the brilliant B7 chassis thats responsible...

This thing has a better power:weight ratio than the Veyron and is 6 seconds faster round Oschersleben than anything else on this list:

White, blue, orange...that Porsche RS Green one that showed up a while ago was pukka.

That orange is funny - tbh, if you can afford it and on the proviso it doesnt affect paintwork, you could have some real good fun with the wraps

how about a zebra RS or Cheetah print !?! sorry, gone off on a tangent !

The B7 RS4 is a bit like a catwalk model, just about anything will look good on it - including that bright orange. I think the B7 RS4 can carry off just about any colour without looking what I would call tacky. With the black optics pack, this is made even easier.

I'm slightly biased at the moment because I've got this 'White Audis' fetish going on at the moment - but isn't that kind of the point of this thread - ones changing moods, tastes and desires?

Personally I think that we are damn lucky to be able to change the colours of our cars so easily and cheaply and that modern technology affords us that opportunity. A few years back (before 1995), this wouldn't have been possible.

People are doing it because they are fickle and individual. Good luck to 'em I say!

I love it!

I did think about respraying my black rs4 cabriolet white and changing all the aluminium parts like the windscreen trim and mirrors for carbon to match the interior.

White cars ftw at the moment!

I like Solar, a good strong orange colour, but not Papaya for me a bit peachy looking for my taste
