My dad has recently picked up his RS6 C7 2015 Facelift but for some strange reason the black styling option doesn't make any sense

The grill, lower surrounds,roof rails, mirrors and window trims are all black

yet the rear diffuser is silver/mat alu :?

is this normal?? :audibash:

Sounds more like there's no styling pack and it's the default.

I'd like to say I'm surprised, alas I'm not. Even a little.

I've had black styling packs with chrome exhaust tips before so this wouldnt really surprise me. Luckily the the car was phantom black so the chrome tips made a pleasant change

Yea i know :bash:

Just looked at the details in options list and to be fair doesnt mention anythin to do with rear diffuser area etc where as the carbon pack does.
Been in touch with audi and they say its not included as black as the RS designers think it looks better in silver :audibash:
