Deposit returned no quibbles or anything, just appeared in my bank today :)

In other news I purchased a Daytona grey RS4 avant today with 59k on the clock, the best bit was it was from a dealer just down the road from me! full Audi service history and has just had £1300 spent on it at Unit 20. I collect on Thursday, big grin tonight!

I'm planning on a wrap. Rivière Blue or Merlin Purple. Half the price of the paint job and protects bodywork.

^ Some nice colours there

Just don't know whether I could live with any long term. But that could be, as my son keeps telling me, I'm an old fart! lol
 
I'd love an exclusive colour, probably a yellow, but it seems a bit pricey for what it is. Audi should try to match at least the stitching to your chosen colour then you can sort of enjoy it on the inside too :)

Even better if they did a similar seat design to the parade red but in exclusive to match.

You can get the audi exclusive interior package, but that costs more than the exclusive paint package.
 
This thread could do with updating me thinks ;)

Hi all

I'm getting worried that a non metallic colour may be an issue when selling on my S3 so want to consider the options.

Are there enough S3's out there now for us to compile a real-world pics thread of each option?

Ideally sportbacks but I'm not that fussy! I think it's important for them to be S3s though as the contrast of the wing mirrors and coloured badges makes a difference.

The list I think is;

Amalfi White - flat
Brilliant Black - flat
Brilliant Red - flat
phantom Black - pearl
Ice silver - metallic
Monsoon grey - metallic
Glacier white - metallic
misano red - pearl
beluga brown - metallic
estoril blue - crystal
panther black - crystal

I'm not paying £2k for paint so I think the options above are it!

Thanks

Ok - saw these first..

The one on the left (Q3) is Misano Red and the A3 on the right is Brilliant Red. You can see how much more orange the Misano is.

Then saw these

First is Amalfi White then the second is Glacier White. (Not ice white as I first put!)

I have seen Estoril Blue before and I saw various cars in Phantom Black when I was there too.

Saw an S3 in Monsoon Grey but didn't take a picture as it was so underwhelming as shown in the other photos on here (apologies to anyone who's ordered one)

Then... I saw this..

null_zps8b041d63.jpg


Which is basically as I've ordered my car now. Brilliant Red S3 SB, Tints, standard alloys, no roof rails.

God it looked good and I immediately said to my wife "I love that car".

Mind made up - Brilliant Red it is staying.

More photos just because I love it!

You can clearly see the difference between the Misano A1 on the right here and the Brilliant Red S3 on the left.

This post has made me question....

Brilliant Red ....or. ...Misano Red ??

Ive ordered Misano ...but now im worried it might be too "Orange" ....

Think I need to see them in the flesh
 
I had a brilliant red a4 and hated every second of it. Boring flat colour which turned orange in the hint of sunlight. Misano pops in the sun, so much nicer and I spent every day regretting the brilliant red choice.

I'm really surprised that Daytona isn't available on the S3 (unless I'm much mistaken)

It is now - think it was an exclusive colour up until recently.

Ah ok. Does raise the issue that, as with Sepang, some customers may have forked out £2k to have one of these colours on their S3, only to see it added as a standard option later and which could have saved them £1.5k. If this happened to me I'd be seriously ****** off.

Whose to know which colours will be "in" when you come to sell it?

My suggestion would be to buy the colour you really like, rather than one you not so sure of but you think it might be better when you come to sell it. Thats why mine is Red.

PS I really liked my new Red Golf GTI Mk2 and my Red Mk1.

Looks better with roof rails.
