Nothing specific, honestly, at least at this point. Other than correcting the consumption value whenever I get a satisfactory amount of data on it, of course, and getting the gear display for D/S. I'll see what I think after driving it for a while, but I want to get a good feel for how things work stock and see what I feel like tweaking.

Everyone seems to love the Scuba/Chestnut, I've gotten a lot of compliments coming in from the local Audi group board, too. It's surprising to me since it's not an S-Line, some people think the blue isn't "luxury", it's not one of the usual colors everyone talks about, etc. But it's a nice combo, not too flashy but not boring either. And the black headliner is awesome.

Definitely am. Scuba seems like a popular order around here, so it's funny that there's pretty much never any dealer orders of them (though when I was picking mine up, there was a Scuba A4 in the showroom -- I assume it had to have been an order that was passed on).

And a shot of the two TDIs...
Great pics idale. That is indeed a lovely color combination. I am personally a fan of beige but brown looks good. Are those fine grain ash brown inlays? Love those too... and have them ordered in my Q5.

Anyone has any feedback on Ventureshield vs Clearbra? Should installing this be a no-brainer? If yes, does anyone know of a good installer in the Minneapolis, MN area? How much does that cost?

Probably there is a forum for that - If someone can direct me to the correct forum - would appreciate it.

Thanks

Yep, that's the ash inlays. Best trim IMO, as it's not trying to compete for attention and goes great with the brown and black interior. Walnut's really glossy and the aluminum is pretty bright and I think would be distracting. But the ash complements the interior nicely without jumping out and screaming that it's there.

Awesome colour combination - Congrats!

I especially like the matte finish on the inlays.
Makes me wish that the CF trim were available in matte as well.
