Default Help with colors...

Decided to order a '00 A4, 2.8Q, and believe it or not the toughest part is picking a color both myself and the wife like. Can anyone point to pictures of Cactus Green or Jaspis Green colors ? We've found the other colors in real life. Neither the sales brochure or audiusa.com site show a real photo.<p>What color is andy_h_slammed.jpg in the Gallery ?<br>

Default That's my Cactus Green 1.8T....

The pic "andy_h_slammed.jpg" was "slammed" in PhotoShop by one of the resident PhotoShop experts on this forum. The original is included in this post. The pic was taken on an overcast day so you don't see how sweet this color is in the direct sun.<p>Also check out Rich Weinstock's website, he also has a Cactus Green 1.8tqms (1999.5 model):<br>http://www.rwnewmedia.com/a4/<p><A HREF="Mailto:andy_hedin@hotmail.com"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE=4>Andy Hedin</FONT></A><br><p>'97 A4 1.8Tqms, Wett 1.0 Bar, ABT Filter, Euro Headlights...<ul><li><a href="http://www.rwnewmedia.com/a4/">Rich Weinstock's Cactus Green A4</a></li></ul>

Default Grab an A6 brochure - pics of Jaspis A6's in there to get an idea (more)

I didn't even consider Jaspis until I saw it in person... than I was sold. I ordered mine in late May. The color sample in the brochure doesn't do it justice. It is very classy and understated if you're going for a more "executive" type look rather than a "sporty" look. I think the Cactus is very nice too if you want a sportier look. I strongly considered silver also. However, I thought the Jaspis had all of the understated class of silver but the light green metallic tint added that extra something I was looking for - not to mention you'll rarely see another Jaspis A4 on the road.<p>I also have a website with some good pictures of the Jaspis A6 for comparison - I'll post it if I can find it again. Good Luck!
