Looks tidy. You could order your S3 in any colour you wanted - provided you were willing to wait for it to be specially made, and willing to pay for the privilege. Audi would even use other manufacturers colour - I know there is a Ferrari red one somewhere in the UK that was a special order.
On that basis, your car may be a one-off!

I've seen the ferrari red one - looks stunning!

That's also a nice colour you've got there though!

Looks nice in Tourmaline* dood. It's the only S3 I've seen in that colour.

It was quite an expensive option to have an Audi exclusive colour, £1030 according to the 2002 price list.
You could chose any pearl or metallic from the then current Audi range. Tourmaline green was available on A4's at the time.

Oh, I had a TTC in that colour also until I came to my senses and changed it for an S3 in common old Goodwood green. :wink:

* tis a precious gem stone apparently.

I'd cover your number plate up, or that'll be for sale on eBay next week ;)

Never seen one that colour either!
