Yea I like Helios quite a bit even though it isn't as fast as Mars Red, but how often do you see Sean driving his Urq in the summer down here in Vegas? I think he likes the Caymen's A/C and maybe even the Caymen. By the way, are you ready to sell that car yet and go back to driving the Urq?

I think it could look good in a nice shade of whatever that vibrant blue is that's popular on the RS4

I read in an old article that Ferdinand Piech had his Ur-q in black because as he said, it was designed to look good in black.
Also only two Sports were made in black, one was Ferdinand's and the other Walter Rohl's.. the Dahlback car was not black originally.

Hope this helps as well.

I think the UrQ looks best in a color that highlights its body lines and fender flares. I never really liked them too much in the super dark colors (black).

John, as you know me well enough - everything is allllways for sale ;O}

If I got rid of the Cayman I could get that Delta Integrale EVOII with a US title that is in FLorida right now *evil grin* which is consequently RED...

I would go for Oceanic Blue. It looks really nice, and if you get those B2 Euros, well, they look sweet on an Oceanic blue car.

There are a lot of great stock Audi colors, but white lets you do the Audi Sport paint job later if you want.

I think you should hold off painting your car and get mine into your shop and completed!!!! :-D

But after my car is done, I like the grey on that flared 4k.

Sure they do, awesome tires in fact. Hoosier R6's and A6's are available in 245/45-16. Keep the BBS's for track wheels. :-)

Street tires I mean with a wear rating over 40 :) . The only thing out there is really the fuzion tire and I have had them before...

I would keep them as track wheels if I could get wider tires, but I can fit 265-40-17s in there with little problem. I want to find some light 17s for the track and stick with a It would be nice to be able to get r-compounds that wide for my occasional track event. Then I would probably get some 255-40-17s for my street tire on some 8.5" wheels. I wish another set of corvette Mags would pop up locally again :)

Dolphin Gray! Love it on the RS4.

And the blue referenced above is probably Nogaro Blue.

Nothing you have suggested is awful IMO, but I would avoid the white unless you want to go with an AS replica, which I doubt you do. Mars red is a favorite of mine for factory VAG colors.

Reseda Green? :-) Kidding, but I do love greens. Perhaps something on the lighter end of the BRG spectrum?

Which IMHO, would look terrible on a B2.

Hank, I just remember your car was originally Port Rose. Now that I know that I vote for Port Rose.
