If your going Charcoal you want the OEM Volcan Black Mica. That's what mine is. I like Imola Yellow though.

Woot 2000 posts hahaha

OEM Volcan Black Mica FTW. That is my favorite color on a B5

White is beautiful when it's new, but after a few years, it just doesn't look as nice. It's no different than buying a white T-shirt really. Like a T-shirt, after a couple years of constant use, the color starts to yellow and look really ugly. I prefer darker colors; Santorian Blue FTW!

very good points i really do like white when its brand new but it does look ugly faded lol and it makes it look somewhat classy its gonna run me 1400 dollars thats in and out and filling in the door bump stops since i removed them the guy does really good work since he does all our customers cars ... but charcoal just really has me interested tryng to see pictures to really decide then it would be cheaper to spray it yellow again lol

Just throwing ideas out here.. but if you were to respray it in yellow it'd look **** with a black roof.
I'm pretty sure europrojektz brought an s4 like that to h20i this year
