That's not any Black, that's Panther Black Pearl , meaning that car is going to sparkle in the sun and look like a lot dark colors light.
Excellent Choice as that was one of the more costlier paints.

Where do you live? I'm in the NY/NJ tri-state area? Send me a PM if you really need to see the color. But what I can tell you about the color is that it is beyond nice. Very very deep. During one evening there was a certain angle where it looked like the hood was a black hole, it looked like outer-space, like you can put your hand through it. The hood of my car looked like the Hayden planetarium without stars.
The color also shifts, It remains deep black but during certain angles in the day you can see the subtle colors. The colors shifts from the grey color of the pic I have of the hood above, to the purple of the fender during certain highlights (but still always black). Its really hard to explain. And it night you cant see the highlights, it just looks like the deepest black that I've ever seen. I've seen the Sepang, Panther Black is a much nicer color IMO, it also cost $1075. Almost twice the price as the Sepang. There's a reason for that.
Big Al? No comment.... My car didn't blow up... But I should have went to IveyTune. Thanks

Damn, now I'm even more intrigued lol. I currently reside on Okinawa (US Military). I will be traveling stateside soon so hopefully I can find an Audi dealer that has both of these colors on their lot.
LOL, yeah "Big Al"...I personally went with AMS before I learned how to do my own tuning.

Congrats Spoonie! It is a hellofva car. And you'll be learning more about it all the time.
Evolvd: you may be able to see those colors at an Audi dealer but they will probably be on models other than a S3. I doubt dealers are able to keep S3s on the lot very long. I had to see color choices for my Mythos Black S3 by seeing the colors on a R8, A6, RS7, etc. I actually didn't like the Panther Black so much as it looked purple at times. But to each his own of course. Spoonie's car looks damn sharp never the less.
