Funny you should say that as when typing my last post i thought about the american extra thingy there potentially giving more space.
Anyone wanting to share pictures of their URS6?

hi mark,
i know that you've mentioned on this forum that you have an interest in old audi brochures so i gather you have all the colour swatches for the various options available on the s6 etc?
could you have a look through them and see if you can find a colour that's borderline dark blue into purple??

Being the bad teacher and all, I can provide this info for you to study:
I think what you are looking for is Z5T blue pearl effect like the avant in the foreground (my old 98 C4 A6q avant):

My blue/purple S6Comment

Hi Craig, Dave has already posted the correct URS6 paint codes.There is maybe one colour that you have not seen a picture of and it's a URS4 in Indigo Blue. The only other colour that IMHO could be construed as having a very tiny faint hint of purple is the URS6 colour Ming Blue. See these dark blues almost borderline with purple in the colour spectrum so they can be interpreted differently by each individual. The only obvious one i can think of is the bottom picture.hi mark,

Are you considering paint colours/codes ready for a respray?
See what you think of the URS4?

As i thought it was shaun, as no other colour resembling those ebay pictures,1 more telling with part sunshine, exists from the factory. As you said yours is the sister/brother of mine in pm....now you have confirmed paint code our cars are identical but for transmission. Plus speck,same year,same black leather interior and now the confirmed Ming Blue Pearl LZ5L.
Probably the best colour.

thanks for those pics/ info, chaps. i'm just toying with the idea of a paintjob but obviously it can't be anything that varies wildly from the shade that it is just now. the bodyshop guy is goading me to get it done (obviously!) but i thought that something bordering purple from dark blue would be a nice idea.
any idea what shade my old tub is? (here's some shots prior to the idiots getting hold of it - the previous owners - not me, that is!) minging blue??
