Congrats, Looks like the PO took great care of her! This is the start of a new era for you

I agree with the others, stripes gotta go!

On a side note, when my dad got his Audi A6 many years ago (a few models ago) the pinstripe guy was there on the spot giving people those stripes when they bought new cars.
He would just walk down the side of the car with a paint brush and kill it every single time. He was a master of his trade. Actually pretty impressive.

That's awesome, congratulations. I have the exact same model year and color combo (but no pinstripes or front/rear spoiler). We're even within a few hundred miles of each other on the odometer. (My S had 24K when I bought it last year but I've battled with health issues for most of this year and sadly that kept me from putting more miles on it than I would have liked.) I hope to make up for that going forward as this car is just so much fun to drive. For me this is a weekend car to enjoy during top-down weather. I've enjoyed it far more than I expected to and the ownership experience only seems to get better with time. I'll never grow tired of this color combo. I've had good luck with Lexol's leather care products for keeping my seats like new. I also swapped out the stock tan floor mats for the two-piece OEM European floor mats in black that cover the cross brace hump which helps to better protect the carpet and looks great (at least to my eye).

Enjoy!

Nice find, I'd get rid of the stripes too, but if you like them...keep them.

Honda dealer pinstriped my wife's last two Civics automatically and with no charge. Looks fine on this car to me.

I was thinking that this might have been something the dealer possibly added after first receiving the car. I know that this sometimes happened on the likes of the Accords and the Civics as Chuck mentioned.

Congrats. I love that color combo too, especially the interior. I had a ‘98 M3 with a slightly darker shade of brown and it was just so cool. My wife told me not to sell it but did I listen?

Congrats! I was eyeing the same car on ebay but I'm sticking to my requirement of MY 06+.
