If I'm not mistaken, the deep red of my Alfa if about the same as Audi's deep red. _________________________ Riocar 80gig S/N : 010101580 red Riocar 80gig (010102106) - backup

graynada new poster Registered: 17/03/2010 Posts: 32 Loc: Portsmouth, UK	OK perfect may not be the right word but closeer than the amber I have at the moment. By the way how do I tell if I have a Mk2 or a Mk2a, and does it matter when it comes to lenses? _________________________ Graham Mk2 v509 hijack 1996 Audi A8Q 4.2L
