Any pictures?

I have the black ones with the Platinum "A4" logo. It works PERFECTLY in my patinum interior.

I think youre always better off with a stark contrast on the rubber mats, than trying to match the colors.

And like Big D says, the gray ones are a bitch to keep from staining.

Agreed, like my wife said, you don't want to mute the interior.

The Audi Collection site does not provide a picture of all 3 colors. Is it the same gray that is on the dash trim? Darker? Why do they stain? Isn't that the point of buying the rubber ones?

. ..to protect the carpet below from dirt/moisture.

FYI - the only color heavy duty rubber floormats should ever be are black - -they are not fashion statements, they are functional.

i know there are mat hooks to lock it in place but you could still put the mats on without "hooking" them in...

Why wouldnt you want to anchor them down - -what would be the point of keeping the carpeted mats underneath?

Not to mention, it's not recommended - they can slip if not anchored.

...I still they should look good. I think that they added a nice accent to the interior aside from their fuctionality.

As many of the Audi owners here are, I too am rather **** and just want to be sure that another color would not have been a better choice.

That dash color looks gray to me, and if the gray mats match it, it would still provide the contrast I want but still "go" with the rest of the interior.
