About to order a new car. 

 

Help me with colour (given that every other car is black)

 

Navarra Blue

or Floret Silver (with black pack)

Other considerations, manufacturers are bloody useless at painting cars these days. So the pain differences between body and bumper will look worse on silver. 

 

Sill, i think i'm slightly on the side of silver...

I recently bought (secondhand) a Audi A4 avant black edition in Cuvee Silver. I wasn't sure when I saw a picture, but when I went to see it in the flesh I fell in love it. I'm still really pleased with it. I do think if it wasn't the black edition with the black trim and darker rotor alloys it wouldn't look as good tho.

I think the picture of the silver car is a better picture

 

That might be swaying me.

I think that pic makes the silver look better than it is. So my pref would be blue but silver will require much less cleaning.

The thing is that no one paints cars very well anymore.

 

Audi/vw paint is particularly orange peely so a lovely blue metallic is ruined by the dodgy reflections.
