Hi guys!

Like the title says I would appreciate advice about the colour. I'm buying new A3 Sport FL but I'm having diema about the colour.
Which colour would you chose betwen these two and why? :smiley:

The more I tihnk abot it the less I know which one I like more :grimacing:


Thank you!!
 
Ibis white is sportier and when clean looks amazing. However it gets dirty really easy! I think it's usually free of charge also which is a plus.

Cosmos blue is classier and stays clean for longer. This one costs money and is boring in my opinion.

I vote for white. But colour is all personal preference.

Ibis white is much easier to keep looking at it's best. If you are not careful in washing/cleaning/polishing Cosmos Blue you will have to contend with swirl marks etc. and it will show dust the day after you have washed it, as do all dark colours. In my opinion you do not have to wash White as often as dark colours, but the dark colours can look stunning, when all buffed up on a sunny day.

I prefer white with the 5-arm dynamic alloys in contrast grey

The white one looks like the one on the picture. I would add two things: side mirror caps in brushed aluminium and maybe different alloys.

After seeing all your comments I'm leaning much more to the white now.

The only thing that is concerning me is cleaning that car. Especially in the winter. I'm seeing white cars after the rain looking all dirty. There are tracks of black water all over it. Present car is Florett silver so I didn't have those kind of problems :laughing:
 
:smiley:
I still have day or two to decide .

Anybody else? Your opinion please :grinning:
 
There's a Cosmos blue 3door sport just down the road from my mum's house a 66 plate it looks great until the the sunlight hits it.... Why.... The amount of swirls holograms on the paint is horrendous...... Do do cosmos blue if you look after it, if not stay well clear it's high maintenance

Definitely get the white, when it's clean it looks beautiful and doesn't look as bad as I thought it would when dirty!

I got my Ibis White, A3 Sport in March and love it everyday :)

Out of the two, I'd go Cosmos Blue, its a classy colour.

I deliberated between Nano Grey and Cosmos when I ordered mine. I went Nano because it almost looks matt in some light

Thank's guys!!
It's 95% that I'm going for white. Today after work I'm going to see Cosmos blue one more time just in case. But, I think the white one is coming to my garage :grinning:.

@Chris43 on the S-line every colour looks good ;)

Very true with the comments of no swirl marks even if you tried! When its clean it looks soo good at night when lights shine on it, looks very sporty and modern. But as soon as it rains, you get brown water marks on it.
 
White as it's easier to keep clean and will hide scratches/swirls etc. better.

Cosmos Blue. Love the colour on mine. You have to keep it clean to look good, but every man and his dog has a white car these days.

Last car, S5 SB, was Ibis White and I loved it as I'd never had a white car before.
Shows up the dirt a wee bit more and does get "black" marks where the rain and spray swirls around behind the door edges etc but it wouldn't put me off getting another white car.
I've no experience of Cosmos I'm afraid, but it's no Navarra :whistle2:

Go Ibis with black pack. Looks great .... but then I do have that combination (well Glacier as Ibis wasn't available in 2014).

Thanks guys for your comments!! It helped a lot!

Florett silver is a great color but it's more common then white here in Croatia. And I want to change the color. The change of the car would be less visible if I would chose the same color.

Yesterday I went to se cosmos blue one more time and made decision that I'm going with white. This will be the first white car I ever owned.
I had black and silver. Now is time for white :grinning:.

I hope I made good decision. Now when I'm seeing your comments, I think I did ;).

Out of curiosity, could you post all the options and the price you paid for the new car in Croatia?

As I've been configuring mine on audi.hr and the price was 6000 Euros more than what I paid in Bosnia, woah!
 
The price is around 29 000€.
I sent you a private message ;).
