A beige TT, please...

Audi gives you more colour choices


We know - it's just plain old red
We know - it's just plain old red
Audi has been toiling away to bring you the ‘Exclusive’ range for all its models – an incredible 30,000 individual exterior colour options. If that still doesn’t satisfy your colour cravings, you can give them a sample of your colour choice and they’ll do you a one off mix. You can also take your colour preference to just about any interior surface in a variety of materials.

This has sadly already spawned a shocking pink TT coupe; painted to match a set of back seat cushions. Not sure of the trade-in value on that one…

Following on from that, Audi has launched four colour-coordinated TTs with two tone nappa leather interior trim. The magic hues are: silver, crimson red, signal orange and saddle brown. You also get matching stitching and piping round the gearlever gaiter, handbrake and steering wheel. If that catches your fancy add an extra £1,750 to the price of a 2.0T or £1,200 to a 3.2 litre model.

It costs less. Probably because the "normal" leather is standard on that model.

Why always the assumption that TT owners are hairdressers? Can we not be stylish without being a crimper? What do you think a welder should drive for example?

Not all are hairdressers, there are quite a few fashion stylists, interior architects, make up artists and florists too...

Another pink one anyone?

The Mk 1 TT used to be available in a non-metallic grey that I liked lots - suited the Bauhaus styling of the car well. Made it look like a U-Boat.

As has been discussed here before, the new model loses some of the distinctive character of the original, vidually at least, but does seem to carry a mini-DB9 feel about it instead.

Not sure beige would enhance that.

I don`t care what colour you can now get TTs in: I`d still rather have an Integrale in any colour. Does that make me a Phillistine, or just someone who appreciates dynamics over style?

You would have to be completely nuts to go to a dealer and hand them over a sample color and tell them to paint your new car, I mean, come on, the thing could turn out hideous looking. This isn't Changing Rooms, at least if you paint your house in an off color, its an easy fix. It might sound really cool painting the car in lime green, but in reality its going to look crap.

I can see in a few years time used car dealer forecourts filled with bargain Audi TT's due to the odd color scheme's smile

Well as someone who's owned both, the Integrale is the best drive but the TT is better build quality...

But yeah, choose one or the other then I guess my nickname shows where my heart is...

If there's a good reason for an auto maker to dictate choices its to avoid aesthetically challenged morons from trying to out-do the car's designer.

In the end it's massively counter-productive. For every pink or garishly multicoloured interior on the street there's one less buyer. And maybe two.

Its always confused me......TVR offer(ed) something like 3000 paint choices.....(and believe me,Ive seen some VERY bad ones )yikes.....so when a company like Audi offer a couple more,admittedly on a car with an image problem,they get caned...what a strange world we live in....

What's wrong with pink PH? Sounds like beer-sipping Autocar talking.

Think California colours and you could have some nice shades.

Mind you, the pink 'un here in the forum is more of a deep-blush horror wink
