Audi A6 Colour Combos
Discussion
Hi all,
Just spec'ing a new A6...need some advice and (hoepuflly) pictures?!
Going for the Oyster Grey (the dark antracite colour) but not sure what leather interior to have.
Black - looks good, but too normal
Cream - from the brochures it looks very dirty cream
BRown - could look amazing, could look rubbish
Grey - hmmm, don't think so on dark antracite car
Anyway, wondered on people's thoughts or experiences? Really need to get ourselves to a dealer but they don't (obviously) have the combinations always (understandably so) so wanted your thoughts if possible?!
THanks all
Tony

Ask the dealer how much it would be to get quattro gmbh burgundy leather.
We're absolutely screwing them at the moment on price (it's my dad's car it's going to be) and so no room like that unfortunately, nice idea though!
Having had a play with the configurator on the site I do like the idea of the brown. Thanks for the note about the cream interior; sounds like it could be a nice one! That's another for the maybe list, then

I'm an Audi dealer, so please take my advice.
The Black interior is the only acceptable one for that paint colour.
DO NOT go for brown ( called Amareto actually ) or grey, or any light colour.
The reason I say that is for the Oyster Grey (I've had a couple of them) black is the only one with decent resale-ablity!
To the gentleman with Stratos Blue and cream leather - that;s not bad. However with Oyster grey it would be awful!
Incidentally, Oyster Grey is dark, however make sure you see it in bright sunlight before you choose it - it goes a dark mauve / purple shade in the sun, and is not anthracite. I like it, but many customers do not.

Hi Andrew,
Many thanks for your comments!
The car is a company bought car and (therefore) company sold one so resale value is totally unimportant. However, thanks for pointing it out nevertheless.
Purely as a "does it look good" is our reasoning for questioning the interior colour (and of course will it wear well)?
Having had a play with the co-ordinator on the Audi website, I must say we're liking the brown interior; Andrew, does that sound wise (and have you ever seen one?)
I typed Oyster into the google images and it came up with that; I thought it just looked slightly dark in the picture rather than being black (
)...so, oops! Again thanks for pointing it out though.

Tony, work hard on the price. The list for mine wioth the extras wa £41,500 ish, managed to pay £33k. From a main dealer. He had more expensive ones on his used forecourt.
Sorry Nicktowe - you were misled somewhere...
There's not £10,000 to play with in these!
Either that or you bought a petrol...
They can't give them away!
