Was thinking about Lapis the other day when everyone was posting pics of their cars. Don't think i've seen anyone post lapis here at all. I have seen one in person and it's OK. A bit too much purple for me. Not sure if it's something I wouldn't tire of after some point.

What's with you and your obsession with black, dude. Let others choose their own colors.

I love Lapis and if I would order a TT today I'd get it in that color with PCCB's, just look at Grussels old 996 Pure SEX.

It's a SMALL part that's black. My point though is to let people decide what color they want.

I have a Lapis blue TT. It's difficult to get pictures that accurately capture the way it looks. It's similar to BMW's Interlagos Blue on the E46 M3 and E60 M5, but a tiny bit darker.

You should be able to find a lapis example at any good size dealer, its available on several models. I selected it initially, but then changed my mind due to the purple cast in the shade. In the sun I think it is one of the most stunning colors available. A word of caution, it really shows finger and hand prints in any light.
