nope - the pelican blue is an OEM paint scheme. It's pretty rare though - almost as rare as cactus green. Incidentally this car got rear-ended last week and has over $7K damage done to it.

My A4 is in the background yeah - but it's santorin blue, not black. Is yours a 2.8 or a 1.8t? Only the 2.8 has "leather". 1.8t has leatherette on the B5 chassis.

 

Mines the 1.8T i believe my manual says its italian sadle leather. anyways I dont like leather like the stuff thats in domestic cars thats really slippery and your but glues itself to the seat when you wear shorts. its not like that at all its a very soft gainy type leather. maybe thats leatherette never heard of that though?</P>


Yeah ive seen the catus green and the bright yellow on a couple cars actualy but never the blue thats a sweet color </P>

 

There were no production line 1.8T's made with leather seats until 2003. It was reserved for the more expensive 2.8. It is called "leatherette" in my manual. Does yours have small dotted holes in the surface? Its a high-quality vinyl that I think looks and feels better than real leather on most other cars.

The leather in the 2.8s is called Buffalino leather. Its nice too.

I like the Pelican Blue too. Its pretty rare - almost as rare as the Imola Yellow (which can only be found on S4's and should not be confused with the crappy Brilliant Yellow)
