Getting an Audi TT as a second car for me and the girlfriend.
We are not sure what colour to order.
Any recommendations?

Saw a dark blue one the other day, nice.
Or Dark green looks nifty too.

Just don't buy the Silver as just about every TT owner has that colour.

They do a really dark red (same as the M3), or maybe the Greeny grey colour, Denim blue, any of those look nice.

Have to agree on black - my mate has got one, and even I have to admit it looks pretty good in that colour.

I've also noticed they do some special edition colours which look nice. Ones a nice bright red, and the others a silver/grey. Torn between those and the denim blue at the moment.

That purple isn't a true colour on the TT's is it?
I do like the yellow, but not seen it in the booklets.

The purple is for real

One of the special colours - appx £1000 + vat i think.

Check out the Audi website, they've got on of those build your car things.

Hi

One of my mates has a 225bhp grey one with "sportline"? package (18" wheels, titanium lights, grey leather) and another has a standard black one. The grey is in a different league and looks much more expensive/classy that the common silver or black.

Apparently his is the only coupe in this colour/spec in the country so no wonder is stands out. It really does look stunning

I could post some pics from home later if that helps...

I do like the grey also. I've always wanted a silver or grey coloured car, but never owned one yet. Silver is way to common on the TT's.
If my girlfriend saw the purple, I reckon she would pick that. Don't think I could risk being seen on the odd days that I would drive it.
What sort of performance is the V6?

Not alot of difference to the 225. Its a 250bhp version of the Golf R32 engine. Think performance wise its pretty much the same as the 225, perhaps a few tenths of a second quicker.

Cool

Still not as quick as the scoobs then. The performance stats on the 180bhp coupe is a little disappointing. 0-62 in 8.2 secs, and the 225BHP is 0-62 in 6.9 secs.

There is a real good colour, its like a kind of dolphin colour only lighter, its darker than silver but real good... One of the doctors at the hospital where i work has one, 2 other doctors have them too, a yellow one which looks crap and a black one...

Unhappy

If that pic's the non-metallic grey then IMHO it looks very cheap. I've seen one in the flesh and the first thing I thought was "Jeez, surely someone who can afford a 225bhp TT can afford metallic paint too...."

I think it's the Avus silver that is one of the special colours available that I was interested in. The grey does look nice. Just so happens the TT has the same tyres as my UK300, so a quick swap will be in order as my G/F doesn't do too many miles. That will save me around £800.

S3's are nice, and if for some reason we don't get the TT, it will definately be an S3. Be back on here again for colour recommendations if that happens.
