Milo Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 A mate of mine is thinking of joining the A4 family for the first time. He is looking at an Avus Silver 1.8T saloon and has also seen an Avus Silver cab (sport or s-line I'm not sure). He is not too sure on the colour though. I haven't seen one in the flesh before so can't help. What is the general opinion on Avus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminTDI Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I think it's quite nice, I'd urge him to get a TDI instead though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I can't sway him to join the dark (and smokey) side - he's a petrol head through and through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLiiX Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Cabmeister is pleased he has gone back to a petrol. What's wrong with Brilliant Red and then get £450 worth of goodies instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Indeed I am! Much more bestest! I'd need to see a picture of an avus cab though - it sounds a bit hairdresser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerj Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I've got AVUS and love it : Its very similar to akoya but is a slightly nicer shade IMHO. If he goes for the Cab in AVUS then get him to get a red interior, as I've seen this combo on a TT and it looks superb. Not sure about Bril Red myself. It looks great on the performance styled A4's like the S Line, but feel it could look a little dull on less "blinged" up A4's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Dan Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Avus on the cab is a special order colour, except on the S-line when its available at the same cost as other metallics. I think it looks quite good too .... for a silver ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Anyone got a picture of the cab in Avus - someone? It would be interesting to see. Which other colours can you get on the s-line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I know you could get Brilliant Red, Misano Red, Avus Silver on the B6 S-Line. I pondered about Misano over Brilliant but really couldn't see any difference so put the £450 into options. I have never had a red car or much liked it but on the S-Line with spoiler, skirts, wheels and chrome it just works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I love the red on the S cars and the S-line A4, but not on any other car which is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Yep I am waiting to see the RS4 in a Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I think avus looks purple sometimes. Not keen at all personally. Try black... It looks black in all light conditions, and its easier to clean because you can see the dirt better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I thought Akoya was the light purple / lilac coloured one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Oh ok... The avus looks boring and just like every other car on the road.. ... And akoya looks purple and feminine. Happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 PS... I think a4's look good in any colour, but black has the edge. Thought i'd confirm that before the herds of silver a4/a4 cab owners declare war on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Excellent post Ian! It gives me a direct comparison between Avus and normal silver which is what I was after. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Hey, steady on their buddy, we can't all afford to drive a dust bucket [/ QUOTE ] I got Avus because it was a special on the S-Line and I'm well pleased with it. When it's just been washed it just looks stunning , you can really see the pearl effect stand out. It's dark enough to make the alloy strips and mirrors stand out too I nearly went for Dolphin Grey but I'm glad I didn't now a bloke around the corner has a 1.9TDi GmbH sport Avant and I think it looks flat and BORING!!!
