Audi Glacier Blue

[KungFuPanda]

Been checking out a few C6 S6s and note a couple in what I think is glacier blue. It's a kind of metallic grey/blue like the Ford Moonstone.

When searching for the colour on google, all that comes up is Mk1 Audi TTs. So, was this not a popular colour for C6 A6 Audis then?

Possibly been a custom Audi Exclusive colour done specifically for the customer.

Available but certainly not popular. Not sure I've seen it even once on an S6.

Send me reg/chassis if you like and I'll look it up.

[KungFuPanda]

It's this one.

Having a look at the pics again, I'm not sure it is glacier blue.

I'm not sure it is blue. Looks like Daytona grey to me.

Just looked up Audi Blue S6 on my paint mixing scheme computer programme - it returned these 6 results.
Mondscheinblau code LX5R
Estorilblau code LX5P
Nachtblau code LZ5D
Adventurinblau Code LX5S
Sprintblau/Leuchtendblau code LZ5F
Aquablau code LY5X

That's daytona grey.

Weird. Both the Ebay ad and the HPI check I've done lists the colour as blue. No recorded colour changes either.

That would concern me.

I'm thinking Aventurine Blue

Looks to be a nice spec, only thing that stands out is the budget tyres. Just make sure they are the correct load rating otherwise they will get shredded and allow a grand for a replacement set of branded tyres.

I've seen another S6 for sale as well which is the same colour but also listed as blue.

I've had an S6 before. Unfortunately I had to spend a grand on a set of four Conti boots when I had it then. Now I've found Tyreleader. Audi rated Toyo Proxes XL for £88 delivered. http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/toyo/proxes-...

I'm liking the advanced key features on this car which mine never had.

You're right though, the budget tyres and possibly the missing Audi badge from the engine cover under the bonnet makes me think twice about it. It's a 3 hour journey from me too. I'll have to think long and hard before deciding to drive down.

Advance key is my favourite option and one id really miss if I don't have it in future.

With regards to the Audi badge, mine had come off as well. I can see it deep in the depths of the engine bay but can't fish the bloody thing out

Crikey that's some cheap tyres.

Ah okay - fair enough then.

I must check my logbook to see what colour mine is. It's Akoya Silver Audi-wise, but I think the V5 might say blue too!

I suppose if the badges are renown for dropping off, it's not a major thing. I've spoken to the seller about the car and he will drop a little on the price. I'm angling at more of a discount which will take the car to mid £9ks. It's difficult to negotiate without seeing the actual car though. I might get a train down next week for a viewing...

Looks like Aventurine blue to me. I had an A6 in this colour. Quite difficult to describe - looks blue / grey / purple depending on the light.
