I know. I completely agree with you. That was the joke.

What a waste of a full paint job to do such a subtle difference.
The 1M was designed to scream.
Go for Hulk metallic green or a Santorini blue.

I'm dying to see someone get crazy with a really wild color.

Lime green, like the Panamera lining up with the AW 1M of Swedish forum member 1MCoupe. Need sunglasses for that P-car + wish him good luck on resale day...

Wow. That lime is ugly. Yeah... please no one do that to their 1M

But hey, if the guys likes it, who cares about resale value?

A car should be enjoyed as fully as possible.

Things like worrying about the next buyer is futile.

imho, it's not AW, if you look at space markings, licence plate holder, etc, those are white... the car paint has does look like moonstone to me....

If green is an option, may consider Signal Green as seen first on the Porsche GT3 RS. A few Audis were done this way, and R8 included:

It's parked outside Rybrook BMW, which is right next to Rybrook Volvo.

Close indeed. But personally I like more the Java Green M3 (like an apple), than the rather fluorescent green Panamera (like lime). No fan of fluorescent car colors.
