Default Color Choice?

Hey guys, I'm about to order a new 2003 A4 1.8T, and I'm torn between the Ming Blue and the Dolphin Gray. I was wondering if anyone out there could offer me some instight as to how hard each color is to keep clean, and how well they hold their shine. Any preferences would be appreciated too. Thanks.

Default Wash it every other day and either one will hold shine. Go with Ming it's awesome.

Plus I have Dolphin and I know you don't want the same car as me.. :-)

Default Not sure about ming, but when dolphin gets a little dirty, the car really looks like crap. When it's

clean, it looks friggin sweet! I usually wash it once a week to keep it looking good, but if I had a choice, 2-3 times a week would be the routine to keep it looking good. ming is great too, the car changes colors in different lighting...sometimes it looks black, sometimes purple, somtimes navy, seems like it might be a little easier to keep clean and doesn't look as bad as dolphin when it's dirty.

Default Goodwood Green-most unique colour. I had Amulet Red, looks good in the long run.

GG is better than MB, IMO

Default Dolphin

Just ordered mine.
Seems to look the best with the dark grey lowers.

Default This may sound a little crazy, but I think it would be awesome in Nimbus grey

( the TT Roadster grey ). I think the pearl effect will be highlighted by the sharp edged character lines of the A4. Yes, you can get the colour by paying $1700 and waiting a few extra weeks. I know that if I still worked at the dealer, I would talk the managers into trying it.

May I suggest Canvas Beige Metallic? Hands down, the easiest to keep clean.
