Plus it you totally hate it for whatever reason, you peel it off

Just called up BMW and got the colour code for Estroil Blue, the bloke said it was an individual colour, I hope they can still get it! Will go down to the wrap place on Saturday if they can get the samples for then.

You thought about Indigo Blue, or Sprint Blue (both Audi colours)

I saw a D3 in Sprint (I think) about 3 years ago, it looked awesome

Am still chasing suppliers for pricing

Tony - I want to go for a colour Audi dont do, even though I know they don't do Sprint Blue on the D2, if you can find the picture please do post it and it may change my mind! Someone is sending me out some samples in the next couple of days. Thanks for all your input fellas, it gets a bit annoying when I go to a certain bodyshop and the blokes like ' haha your mad, hahaha, YOUR MAD,' Helpfull and constructive comments only please!
Bluewhale, the bodywork is fine but my hearts not in the car, I love everything about it, especially after Ian told me its one of the nicest S8s hes driven, gearbox etc.. it just feels so tight and new! But I feel as if im kidding myself to like the green. I could stare at my old Blue '8 for ages, even after parking it up I keep looking back at it, with the green, I just don't.

Singh, I understand what you are saying. Even with the faults I still bought mine because of the colour (and it was mechanically sound).

Yup, thats definitely not a standard D2 paint....

If your build sticker is blank, then its going to be a tough one to figure it out...

Could Audi not dig it out of their system?

Looks quite nice though.
