Does anyone else have a Brilliant Red A4?

**deepfried** · 10-08-2011 07:17 AM

I just bought a 2012 A4 P+ in Brilliant Red. And it is funny, I never see them on the road or see them mentioned on here. I had to have a red car (my last Saab was red and I loved that color) and yet I think people tend to have this aversion to a red car. The ticket thing is BS too, I haven't had a speeding ticket in 4 years.

Any other Brilliant Red folks on here?

Still loving that color, recall complimenting when you posted in New Owners thread.
Winnipeg, welcome back to the NHL.

You already do, partner. With Misano, you are also unique

There's no optional red of any shade available on the 2012 A4 in Canada. Only the Brilliant Red.

First Official game on Sunday. The Winnipeg Jets vs. Montreal Canadiens.

Only a 15 year wait between games.

Seems like every wheel choice looks fantastic on Brilliant Red

I had a brilliant red B8 Ultrasport and loved the color when i saw it on the show room floor. Had to have it.
More and more i kept getting the "did you take your wifes car today?" question. maybe im hypersensitive now that its been brought up, but i would say 90% of the red B8's i see on the road are female drivers.

Ultimately went for the quartz gray with titanium pack on my new car, as I drive clients around and needed a conservative, yet still sporty color.

Of course! I had the Stasis suspension installed before I picked it up, and since then I've de-badged it and its been GIAC'ed :)

I'm LOVING the brilliant red avants in this thread!! They look sooooooo good!

Nice! Just noticed all the avants here are s-lines!

**Speycaster** · 10-10-2011 11:15 AM

Check it out... Since these pictures, I have installed the A4L fog grilles with the chrome ring and a front plate filler.

Just a question, I noticed that there are almost no brilliant red a4 on the road. Well in Ottawa I've only seen 3-4 in the pass year or so. This said, would it be the reason it's taking so long to get them?

**Greg Nelson** · 11-02-2011 08:18 PM

My first A4 was a '99 B5, Hibiscus Red Metallic - yeah, girly-man name - color named for a flower

, but shure was purty.
Go Red

I have a confession, I got to see it in person and snapped a photo. It's a very nice setup, the drop is perfect IMO!

Thanks for the compliment! Hope it wasn't too dirty when you saw it... seems other priorities keep me from maintaining things as I'd like to these days.

**zatarregaza** · 11-04-2011 02:49 AM

I'm in Dallas and I've seen maybe a couple around town.

Does the paint on your cars scratch really easy? I have only 15,000 miles on my car in 2 years. It is kept garaged at work and at home. I wash it by hand as well, yet I have just a ton of scratches on it. I was told by someone at a local body shop that red is particularly susceptible to scratches.

**fre2bpowerless** · 11-04-2011 05:30 PM

One B.red A4 from India, only 4 in the country according to Audi. Only 3.2 :D

Red doesn't work here for the premium brands.

It looked clean from a few spaces over.

**scottyuk** · 11-06-2011 10:19 AM

Mine's nearly Brilliant Red.....kinda!

We were split between Aruba Blue and Brilliant Red ..... but coz we'd have a B6 S4 for 5.5 years in Brilliant Red (and a TT in Amulet Red for the three years before) we opted for a change.

It's a good red .... and side by side with Aruba they flatter each other ;)

**sbrownie01** · 05-07-2012 09:57 AM

yay!!!

**Julien15** · 05-07-2012 10:14 AM

Here's mine!

bad angle but will take more soon!

@Ekim, is that brilliant red? might be the lighting in the pic but looks like a deeper darker red, looks real nice actually. i like the slightly darker deeper ones like misano red is pretty cool and that garnet red looks awesome. i love red cars but i'd have to reserve it for something more sporty looking and aggressive like an S5.

Lol apparently Canadians love the color red! Looks good guys, glad to see shades other than silver/black/white (mine is white lol)
