Is that a UK spec vehicle? Looks like it has folding mirrors and I don't recognise the plates...RHD though. Where are you from?
Wow, I think thats a rare Papaya Orange S3 you got there mate, nice!
What colour is the interior?
They are ultra rare my friend, only ever seen two previous 8L S3's this colour.
Papaya is an Audi exclusive special order paint and the ones I remember seeing also had the dark grey interior as well. Do you have any pics?
All S3 Recaros are electric adjustable but heated seats were an option.
Pics of your interior would be great?
Nice colour - as others have said, will have been ordered as an Audi Exclusive colour.
Only standard colour like that I was aware of was the launch colour Ochre metallic (second down on the right), but that was only available for 6 months and yours is a facelift so wasn't available from the brochure when yours was built.
its onnvi yellow from a seat lcr, with less white paint added, i hade my lcr painted last year it came out this collour, the person who sprayed added more white paint to it, to get it more yellow, the paint come coded to my lcr but was orange/yellow when tested, so we added more white and it come out perfect, i think ur s3 has bin repainted, and the dint lighten the colour.
Its standard paint its still got all the paint code stickers etc. I doubt anyone would bare shell repaint a brand new car the wrong colour
from this I thought you had already found it?
There should be a sticker in your spare wheel well mate
This is the only one i have
Thanks good to know it deffo aint metalic thats for sure

brand new car???? its a 8l,, stickers are easy to get hold off.
I'm pretty sure there's a sticker in the wheel well under the boot carpet, or it's on the spec sticker on the inside cover of the service manual. I have a 2002 brochure for my S3 and the colour is not in there. But you can specify any Audi colour in the range called "Audi Exclusive" and they'll paint your car in it.

I don't think you understand what he's saying mate,
I think this car is a bit special also the interior looks awesome!

Collister, if you find this code (LY2B) its definitely Papaya!

Love the colour! I was just thinking the other day that an 8L would look good in orange when I saw a Solar Orange 8P go by. Fantastic. Never seen that colour interior either. Wow, look after her!

How’s this 6 year post got dug up?what is it about the interior that looks awesome, isn't it standard?
+1 colour looking good.
I revived it just for the sake of it whilst looking for a poll of the best colour for an 8p lolHow’s this 6 year post got dug up?
The leather, steering wheel and dash, door inserts are all a light grey which was not standard colour hence why the airbag is a different colour

That’s easy best colour for an 8p is the blue with the chrome mirrors ha
