Avoiding sitting on the fence.. I think all the colours available even the white ones look superb and thats quite rare IMO for colour choices on one car.
Black optics just look brillant with the chrome mirrors and if I was a few years younger would have gone for a sprint blue with optics but not brave enough !!! I did want the black originally but could find one close and well kitted enough. Although defo happy with mine it does look and seems to keep cleaner longer and when it is clean just looks splendid! 8) What ever the colour I dont think anyone should worry about resale as totally quality choices. enjoy it safe in knowledge.

i've just ordered body coloured mirror caps to match my black optics. i think it looks a bit odd when everything is blacked out EXCEPT the mirrors.

The trouble with colouring the mirrors is that they're how I spot a 'real' RS4 so I won't be able to wave at you... :D

They're also handy for spotted debadged RS4s.

Sprint Blue or Misano with black Optics looks amazing tho.

New black wheels you say, are these the same as the anthracite ones people keep mentioning. Be interested to see when you've done. Also has any one seen an Avus saloon with black optics. Wonder what it would look like especially with black wheels.
