Newbie - What colour is my car?!

Evening from a newbie.

Stupid question, but what colour is my RS6? Its an audi exclusive colour but the chap in the showroom couldn't quite lay his hands on the details - i was a bit time constrained buying the car and picking it up, and sent the V5 off yesterday for a plate change and forgot to look!

Also, how good is an Akro exhaust on these? They sound nuts on YouTube but wonder what they are like in real life?

Last question, when I popped down to the service centre the chaps from Richter were there. They said they do a remap with our without an Akro exhaust, £10k (or thereabouts) with the exhaust, or £6k for the map on its own........ £6k for a remap? I thought they were under £1000?

Thank you for the help, hopefully the pics have attached (and wifey's new toy too!)

Hard to tell but looks like either nogaro/estoril or even a kingfisher blue. Also a remap with DMS will only be about £1600. Nice ride. Enjoy.

Ps your V5 will only describe it as blue. It won't be the full colour description. Take a pic in the day light and might be able to give us a better idea. Is it metallic? Or a flat colour?

Hardly the best pics to establish the colour haha. :thumb:

Looks like Sepang, but if its Exclusive I'd say its NOGARO

Thanks for the replies, this forum seems a great place to be for these beasts!!

Def not a flat colour, someone suggested Sprint or maybe Haynan? Either way looks amazing in the sunlight, have taken another pic but its a bit dusky here so not sure it will help.

I thought £6k was a bit strong, i was about to start looking at setting up my own remap company at those prices!!! lol

Are we saying Nogaro because it looks quite dark in the pictures? Its an awful lot lighter than that in the flesh, almost baby blue

You should have a Sticker on the car (boot?) that has the list of options and i believe one is the paint code that then can be looked up... unless on that spec able it has '00' detail like the VIN which just means special order.

Either way, nice looking car and enjoy the sports mode!

Pop the bonnet or look in the wheel well and take a snap of the build sticker. Colour is top left I think?

Nogaro is "LZ5M"

Edit - GLM - you beat me to it!

I was just about to link to the same advert; note that one in the photo has been sold so could be the same car.
Kev, was your car supplied by Stafford Audi?

I've been contemplating a noggy C7. I think the exclusive colour only adds 1.5k. When you consider if I went for black I'd have to pay an extra 4.5k for the carbon then 1.5k for noggy (plus nearly 1k for glos black trim) seems a bit more reasonable.

It does look geogreous! I'm surprised there aren't more of them.
