What is the color combination ?

I'm a tad colorblind and it's hard to tell from pictures sometimes. Thanks-Jake

I think is Metallic Oyster dark gray with an Audi Exclusive interior package in burgundy color.

Posting more pictures soon.

From what i've seen on the road there are two W12 D3 grills available, first one with horizontal lines, second version with chrome double vertical lines. I have the second one with vertical lines, looks very similar to the S8 grill but with Glossy Piano black background and plate holder. I have received TONS of compliments on the agressive look of this grill.

Price: depending if you have parking sensor and/or advance laser cruise control. I got a 25% discount from Town Audi in NJ. Paid $725. Will try to get part number. Instalation is on this forum, search "A8 grill installation". It takes about 3-4 hours if you are handy. Entire front wheels and bumper need to come off first.
