Someone correct me if I'm wrong on any of this....

Very narrow orange, narrow silver, thick grey.  Together, and only in 
that order front to back.

The '97 info is probably more accurate since it was straight from the 
horse's mouth, whereas the second was someone eyeballing the colors 
via a pantone set.  Note also the comments about RAL colors.

Found via searching the archives for "pantone".  Searching the 
archives with other terms may turn up other useful posts.

Oh, and the factory cars were -always- a white base.  The car will 
not look proper with a red base and the sport colors.

Several styles, but either mid-way along the front quarterpanel and 
up onto the hood, or on the C pillar.

Notice in several photos the orange does NOT match the darker 80's 
Audi oval color.  They are different colors.
