Default Avus Silver Special edition TT/comments on color?

What do you guys think about the Avus Silver? I was wondering if it looks purple in low light? would you call it Titanium grey or more of a light silver? I think it is one of my top choices but do not like blue tints personally and am afraid it might look different in low light.

Default Yep. It is a color between titanium and Lake Silver.

It does change colors in low light, but I think it becomes more like titanium at night.

Take a spin through my TT pics at Fotki. Link below.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/DennyTT/tt_albums/">http://public.fotki.com/DennyTT/tt_albums/</a</li></ul>

Default Re: Does your Avus Silver look like the traditional Audi light silver in bright light?

I like your photo album and pics. I no longer like light silver like I used to have and dont want something that looks light silver. Avus looks more titanium or grey which I like, but one of your pics looked like the light silver.

Default Think that's just a weird pic. Never really looks like the lighter Lake Silver -->

This picture shows my Avus on the left next to a Lake Silver on the right. As you can see, even in fairly bright light, the Avus is darker.

Default Re: Great PIC!! Great Car/ I might order it on an A4, what do you think about that?

I can special order this paint on an A4 or A4 Wagon. what do you think? do you get lots of compliments on that color? I like the darker colors since they are more fun to wax and shine. Light silver can be boring to wax. Also the A4 has painted lowers (black trim) and I was wondering if this color will contrast too much? darker colors like Dolphin grey blend into the lower panels. See , I am a trader using you TT guys for the color stuff.

Default Think it would be gorgeous. Here's the shine right after

a detail. Notice the black trim that runs around the windows and check the contrast. It would also be unique....wouldn't see your car on every corner...good luck.
