    Kreso- nice new pics. i have to be honest with you. they do seem to look perenially dirty. or they simply don't photograph well.

Would they be able to do the stitching on black leather with thread that matches the mocassin?
    Dear mmaturo,

    Mustangbrown contrast stitching matches Mocassin over 95%. This option is available through Audi exclusive.

    Apollo - a nice silver with a light darker touch

    Avus has a hint of purple (?) in certain lighing situations

    Oxygen is too silver for me. Great on a dark R8 as a Sideblade

    Red interior, CF blades and Titanium wheels?

    1. Apollo Silver Metallic(code Y38)

    2. Suzuka Grey Metallic(code M1M1)

    3. Graphite Grey Metallic(code 9Q9Q/M7W)

    Oxygen Silver Metallic is for 50cent and Vanilla Ice(do you remember him?) IMHO.

    Avus Silver Pearleffect is actually very, very nice with marginal purple hint but, it wont go right with Red interior. For Avus you will need Black(from standard offer) or Jet Grey(from Audi Exclusive) leather.

    Pictures Is it the "holy" grail? Audi R8 Apollo silver pic?

    Or are my eyes playing a trick on me? Or is it the lighting. Or did RXBG drve me crazy with the colour choice hunt

    Qisha & KresoF1 - what's your take on this?

    Looks nice, but I'm pretty sure it's just a regular color thats new/waxed and under nice lighting.

    that is close at first glance. but it has a bluish hue. that is either ice silver or jet blue or another audi exclusive color. Qisha should know. apollo would be a pure unadulterated silver with no hint of blue or green. great find though. the first pic gives a very close idea of how it might look. wicked.

    thanks for posting this. i am def. set on the titanium 5 spokes with this color.

    Hmm...

    It is either Quartz Grey or Apollo Silver. Little bit too dark for Ice Silver-but, overall ambient light is also darker(cloudy weather).

    I looked at samples of Quartz Grey and Apollo Silver few days ago-they are very similar on darker ambient light. On direct sunshine you can see the real difference. Maybe Qisha could help more?
