I'd actually stick with Berlina, but make it REALLY nice, since you don't have to worry about the extra expenses of painting the engine bay, door jambs, etc, like you would if you were doing a colour change. Full wetsand, make it like glass.

i agree if your going to do a color change make sure you do the jambs and engine bay. but if your black already you can almost pull off a black engine bay with the right custom color to match.

Go with that Audi Orange. I promise, with a tan interior and non-bootleg paint job, u will have one of the top S2k's on here. I'm flirting with the idea myself. I probably won't do it, because I have a Silverstone and the engine bay isn't black like u.
