Looks great! How true to life is the color in the pic? (m)...
This is the leading candidate color for my next A4...a 1.8Tq Avant. I've seen a few pix of Pelican and it looks stunning in some, but just so-so in others. Is this a pretty fair representation of the color? TIA.

Close up of my Audi center caps on the Borbet rims......
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/christians%20borbet%20rim.gif"></center><p>Like that rusted rotor look?
The Audi Centercaps do not fit on any of the Borbet rims, so I had my friend make this sticker for me that looks pretty slick. I just put the sticker over the Borbet center cap. BUT, since the "Borbet" name is pressed into the center caps, I need to fill in the letters, sand it clean, then add the stickers again. At petit Lemans, I met a guy who had sanded his Borbet center caps down, and just left them blank polished aluminum....looked great. I am going to shoot for that look, then just put a 4 ring sticker in the middle for that slick OEM look. I like these rims a whole lot more since I covered up the Borbet caps.
