have black from and rear badges hence preferred the black CH as it contrasted nicely with the silver..want to go with the anthracite but not so sure how it will contrast with the silver and black badges

i'd go a shade lighter than that personally, and it doesn't look OEM audi to me but that could just be because of the lighting in the photo

whatever you do i'm sure it'll look great  :happy2:

really want to go for the anthracite think change will look good...suppose will give black a break although it looks more oem on CH's..just cautious how it will contrast with the silver car and black badges and trims etc

I'd go light grey IMO, black is too much for me...

Would you believe that was taken on a crappy wee 2.0 megapixel phone camera!?
