Default Color combination question. '04 & '05

Out of the standard 2 blue exterior colors that were available these years, did either of them offer a black interior? I've seen the darker blue with a blue interior, and grey with black, and even dark blue with brown leather seats, but not sure I've seen either of the blues with an all black interior. Also, am I right that the brown seats were available with any exterior color, as an option?

If this is in a model wiki or something, maybe someone can just point me that direction. I did search, but may have not searched for the correct terms.

Thanks!

I couldn't find it anywhere, but have the original 2005 US brochure that I found on ebay:



p.s.- I bought a black shift **** from awdinut some time back and it looks a heck of a lot better than the "Clay" original.

Thanks guys, that is more than I could have asked for.

Jakematic, that's an excellent reference.

I really like the blue and gray exterior colors offered. I had a blue interior on my C5, so just looking for something different.

Do you mind if I save your picture?

Do you have any pictures of your shift ****?



Just ignore my notes below.

Northern Blue
Night Blue
Oyster Gray
Brilliant Black (have currently)
Cambridge Green
Atlas Gray
Arctic White
Akoya Silver
Light Silver
Platinum Beige

Glad to be of help.

Save it if you want - its just a quick scan I did this morning.

I don't have any pics of the **** but I'll try to get some this weekend -have a ton of projects on the A8 that either there's no time for or it's too dang hot lately.

I've seen almost no white with black interiors on A8s. That's what I'm looking for. I saw an example in an S8 though and it was spectacular.

Yeah that must be a rare color combo. I found one closeby, but it has higher miles.
