Audiusa.com only allows certain interior/exterior color combos . . . is that the final word?

I really like Ocean Blue but certainly don't want light gray interior. Can the dealer order with any interior color, or is this another case of Audi limiting available options for their own mysterious reasons?

Default I haven't heard of anyone changing interior colors outside of what they say is available...

But for $2500 you can pick any exterior color that was/is ever available from Audi so you may want to ask your dealer. I can tell you that if it is possible, it's gonna cost ya.

Default IIRC, non-standard interior colors are US$900.

Such as beige with red:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a3/msgs/28440.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a3/msgs/28440.phtml</a</li></ul>

When I ordered mine I was tossed up between black and beige. Black wasn't a standard option and was somewhere around $750-$900 more. In the end I got beige and though I like it it somewhat limits interior mods. Not that big of a deal though. But simple answer...yes, you can get other colors but it will cost. Interior colors are in the $800 range and exterior are in the $2,000 range.

Right after I got mine I saw someone post pictures of their Ocean Blue/Black and I almost felt bad that I didn't go for it.

Default I'd keep my grey interior with my light silver exterior. But, I would change

the texture of the exterior portions of the seats from the vinyl.

My perfect choice? Medium grey air leather inserts with darker grey alcantara on the outboard, with a vinyl back portion/hard plastic. S-Line should be embossed on the upper middle shoulder area.

And for the love of all that is religious put an elastic net on the seat backs!

Putzs.

That's unfortunate for you American. I was able to order my Lava Grey with black interior for no charge, here in Canada. Had to wait an extra 2 months to get it though.
