paint job
hello lads,
well im brand new to thhis forum..i bought a 2002 audi 1.8T about six months ago..I had a few mods done to my car since then.
1) I completely changed the front of the car to look like the new A6, ie one complete grille, ans had two front lips attahached to it.( abit like the new abt as6 version)
2) 2 side skirts
3) rear spolier
4) custom exhaust job and rear lip ( had four exhaust tips installed)
I am now interested in a new paint job..my car now is kindda gold-silver colour ( dunno wot audi calls it) . I was kind of hoping to go for a rs4 colour or a the new phantom black colour.
Any ideas that you guys have are most welcome. Also the audi dealer back home aparently need some kind of a colour code for them to match that colour. Any idea wot this is? Comments are really aprreciated.

RE: paint job
A little tough to tell from the pics... Is that REALLY an A6? If so, I gotta say that I'm impressed with the mods. Who did them? Cost?
As far as the color choice... That's a very personal decision. IMO, dark colors emphasize overall shape. Light colors emphasise details. Given the excellent detail your mods have produced (at least from what I can tell by the pics you posted), I'd stick with a light color. Black would hide (somewhat) all of the excellent detail of the mods you've done. How about going vibrant light a bright shade of red/yellow/blue?

Looks killer from the pic's! It's screaming imola or nagaro blue to me.
Who is the manufacturer? I have an 02' A6 & am very interested in the mod...especially the front b/cover. I like the rear valence too.
