Retro fitting is at best a headache. It’d have to be something you really really needed. It’s not adding value to the car.

You’re better off with material benefit ergo free service etc etc.

Its Facelift 2015 , b and o, audi exclusive individual paint,
What colour is it then?

Think the 40,000 service on non-PE cars will also need spark plugs so that adds another £500 or so.

Audi rarely retrofit any options.

Yes, been quoted approx £1200 for the 40,000 miles service with plugs needed.

Bosh, have that then.

Sounds a bit steep though (which is the normal response to any price for a service from Audi).

If you can't post the picture you can type the colour if it's a colour we might have heard of.

But to post a photo, click on the 'Full Editor & Preview' button at the bottom. Then click on the Attachments tab below the text box. Then Add Files. Then once it's loaded click in the text box where you would like the photo added then click on the Place In-line option.

Did you buy the car recently? I wouldn’t wait months for a car. And I hope they have compensated you with a like for like car..

If my car was gone for months I’d want money back or reject the car

That's a very sexy name for a colour that just looks black. How did Audi end up painting a car in a colour from a completely different marquee? Intrigued.
No matter where you go, there you are.

It was an individual exclusive colour order from the factory I believe.
This below is what Audi UK told me when I asked them about the colour code not been listed on the car Sticker.
_________________
Thank you for your recent contact to Audi UK. Please accept my apologies for the delay in my response.

I have verified the vehicle details on our database and I can confirm that our records show the following information:

Colour Code: Q0Q0

Furthermore, please be advised if it is a customised paint on your vehicle then it will be a different code to the above given.

I hope this information proves helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us on the number below.

Kind regards
______________

Eventually I tracked the code down with Audi And came back as
AST5150D
Aston Martin ceramic grey.
In some lights particularly darker conditions it looks almost black and in direct sunlight can be quite middle to darkgrey

Audi normally offer an Exclusive paint option from any colour in the Audi range or have a more expensive option for any customised colour.
Looking at my old brochure it was £1500 for the Audi colour option or £2000 for any customised paint colour.

From the brochure:
Audi Exclusive
Any colour in the Audi range or 100 exclusive colours to choose from*
*Audi exclusive paint is subject to factory approval. Visit your local Audi Centre for colour samples.

Customised
**Customised paint is subject to factory approval, and is available for metallic and pearl-effect water-based paints only. Three colour process colours and two-tone schemes are not available.
