Looks very similar to daytona , what is the paint code for that colour ?

 

It's 1AB. It's very similar but mine is a tiny bit lighter than Daytona. Out of interest how much extra would it have cost to have a new car painted a non-VAG colour ?

 

I'd have thought a lot !

 

When I bought a Q2 in 2018 the Audi exclusive paint was an extra two grand but if your the sort of person to hang on to your car? I don’t think it’s to bad as we all pay the best part of seven hundred for any colour than white, to chop it in in three or four years later 🤷‍♂️

 

It’s gone up a bit since then - exclusive paint now starts from £4000 on the Q2

 

It does look like Daytona

 

Slightly lighter and slightly more pearl effect

 

I had a mk1 coupe which everyone thought was a is silver, turned out to be Quartz Grey a special order colour at the time, was a pleasant surprise

 

strange, even exclusive colors have their own code

For some reason Audi don’t include exclusive colour codes on the build sticker. Usually quickest place to confirm the colour is to contact the original dealer if known or Audi Customer Services

 

Makes you wonder why people go for an expensive “exclusive colour” when they buy brand new if it looks nearly identical as something else that is a lot cheaper, each to their own though!

I did see this beautiful teal colour Audi A6 estate (I think it was) yesterday so whatever they selected they chose well!

If I could pick a colour TT I’d go for dark green and a brown leather interior (not sure if that combination exists but I’d like to see it).
I love the TTS in orange too.

I struggle to think why you would spend nearly £4k on a non VAG paint when so similar to Daytona. Side by side there is little difference, Daytona is slightly darker with less fleck. Perhaps a crafty upsell ? Say the lady who originally owned this car went in to Audi Shrewsbury and the salesman said "wow i love the colour of the Jaguar you've got out there, its the nicest grey i've ever seen. I can do your Audi in that colour if you like?" and she said "great" and never questioned the cost. Who knows !

 

Still looks awesome irrespective what the colours called

 

Dealer demo original spec maybe.

 

With Jaguar paint though?

 

Perhaps they've always had cars in that colour, kind of family fleet look.

That's what the SMART repairer of my bumper said.

 

Is the car fully loaded with extras or is it just the paint?

 

Just paint

 

Another exclusive here Santorini Blue LZ5K, unsure if there’s another MK3 the same.

 

Picture please

 

Looks frickin awesome!

 

looks the business mate!
