Colours

[Behind The Bins]

Looking at used RS3s there are no silver cars available, hardly any whites/reds, plenty of blacks and blues. Is silver no longer a popular colour?

Will Audi drop silver? Will white die out again?

I would love the return of a dark green

I think it’s a colour which is overlooked by many who think it’s just silver.

Floret is a deep smokey mercury silver & looks amazing - especially with black pack.

Wife and I loved it so much we got a cars in the same colour lol

It’s just awesome - my fave colour on any car I’ve had. It suits the line of the cars, looks amazing & keeps looking cleaner longer too.

Awesome mate... one thing I will say, slightly off topic... Audi make some cracking alloys, but come on, and RS3 has the worst ones they offer...

Silver does look a bit dated in my opinion. Can't beat a proper Black !

Ha ha yeah ... I think the rotors have well & truly had thier day lol

They do still suit the car but totally agree we need some more exciting looking alloys released for the RS3

Dated lol
The old ice silver maybe but floret is a deep dark silver & looks totally cool & sharp

I’ve had a black TTS and never again.
Too much upkeep to keep it looking clean.
Black can hide the lines of a car too which lighter colours accentuate.
Black is fine if your ‘in the hood’ I suppose lol

It's all down to personal choice. Silver was very 2000. Audi have had a couple of floral silvers, Akoya and now Floret. It's all down to taste, and as I have lots of good taste, ( accredited Beer taster) I'm sticking with Black...

My RS4 is Prism silver and it looks really good in the sun. It has a multi colour fleck in the paint and really 'pops'.
When it is overcast it does look a lot flatter but you can still see the effect.

I had a cherry black MK1 TT and that was a nightmare to keep clean. I vowed to stay away from black ever since! Each to there own though.

Totally agree on the silver 2000 - it was done to death & I never thought I’d have another silver but seeing floret for the first time was a ‘wow moment’ similar to when I first saw sprint blue, sepang blue & misano red.

Parked next to an ice silver car you really notice the difference, it’s awesome.

You can see how dark it looks on this TTS

Anyway ... You stick to your black lol

Yea I think the blades on the saloon are a bit... hmm, boring too... look at the rest of Audi’s range and some are brilliant! Shame!

Metallic Lavender My new Mythos Black

Black looks good when clean... but what keeps me away from it is you can’t see the accents on the car, as in grill, diffuser, other black trims etc

Floret silver on the rs3 with black pack is absolutely cracking. When I was looking for one they had one silver but with no black pack and looked abit bland.

Yes I think black pack is a must with floret too.

Looks stunning on the face lift cars too IMO ...

The only nice Black Audi do is Panther Black......the others brilliant black and Mythos are black.....with real character to them at all

Panther Black is exceptional a former Exclusive Colour and it shows.
Floret really shows off the feature lines of any Audi painted with it

Sportback looks better in Floret mate......still prefer the rotors over them Saloon alloys as well

 

[Jassyo06]

Ditto here mate how good it looked when I finally detailed it, my love for black cars was once again restored

 

[Evotion]

I like the silver a lot but agree that it does seem to make the car look older. Hey-ho.

 

[teslaboy]

Yep I like silver a lot. Previous motor an S3 was silver.
However I went for black this time round as its timeless.
