    Carbon Sigma or Lava Grey or Oxygen Silver???

    Hello R8 lovers! I am actually new here. I am selling my '06 Porsche Carrera S. I am about to order an Audi R8. Please help me differentiate a Carbon Sigma side blade and a Lava Grey side blade. I am not sure if I am gonna get it in Ibis White w/ either oxygen silver side blade or carbon sigma side blade. I am also thinking Phantom Black with either oxygen silver side blade or carbon sigma side blade. Please tell me the difference between Lava grey side blade and carbon sigma sideblade. Pictures would also help. And is there really a phantom black side blade?

    Audi Exclusive will produce a sideblade in any color. (or the car, pretty much). If I were you, I would search google images for R8. You'll find hundreds of cars. Save the ones you like and post them here and the guys here willl certainly know the name of the color. The order process for me gave me several months to pick the colors once the initial order went in

    lava grey is just a painted blade, carbon sigma has the weave texture.

    I've attached a pic where you can see the weave a bit clearer

    Thanks for the pics "Randombloke". I do see the weave texture in the carbon side blade.

    Someone is selling CF side blades for $1200 on this site. Why not order the silver from the factory and the really inexpensive CF from the R8 owner and change them as you see the need?
