I have silver for my interior because it's the MB Stone color, I like the look, it goes with all the other aluminum accents (instrument bezel, paddle shifters, pedals, etc.) However, Andy has the same interior and did CF vinyl and it turned out reall well too.
If I had black interior, definitely carbon fiber.

It's always going to look good, but it's still imitating the real thing... and having it covered in real cf is not that expensive.... I'm getting it done on mine. Anyways, the vynil WILL look sexy, I had it in my audi A3 and lotsa people liked it.

I thought they did do the A3 in the US? only the sportback though... I don't think audi has anything to compete with mercedes though, they just look cheap next to a merc... We had a brand new audi S4 in our showroom and it just looked horrible surrounded by mercs (plenty AMG's tho)

Dude I respect you and your CLK so I don't feel so bad in saying this because it's not past-owner-tense... That is one ugly *** car. I really like the new A6 and R8 but man, that's a brutal representation of the brand.

LOL I think I agree anyway. I did like the car when I bought it, but soon it made me realize it just isn't a merc... Ugly *** goes a bit far for me but lets say I'm not offended whatsoever over what you said

I had the first gen A3, the one you have is the second gen.
It still remains an awesome little car for the city, it was great on gaz.
Kev;
First time I layed my eyes on it I wasnt convinced but I got used to it's looks. BTW an S3 would keep up with our cars (stock 265hp, my friend had his chipped to 330hp), an RS3 would put us to shame. They handled great
God bless Quattro!!

You're right, ugly-*** took it a bit too far, I should have said Volkswagen'y looking. I bet the interior was decent though, I get driven around in a lot of new A6's and I am very impressed with the interiors. Audi seems to do a great job throughout their lineup in that regard.
