Have a question about cladding color. I've been looking at quite a few of the used black allroads lately ('03/'02), and have noticed that the cladding never seems to look very dark. It looks more gray than black. Does it fade over time, is it do to improper care? Or does Audi make cladding in different colors?

From the shine coming off your photo, I'd say you polished or Armour-All'd them too much. Looks like a military spit shine shoe polish job.

my black 01 had grey lowers, and Gragravar's Blue 03 has the more black lowers.
There were different color schemes, so depends on what it came with.
