i too have seen a blue barco lounger interior

my car is a 5 speed with connolly hides, on comfort seats, with
cayenne-metalik (or however it is spelled).  i don't recall the official
name of the hides, but it is the tan color.  my car also came with the bbs
rims and UFO brakes.  an interesting dealer add option that my car has is
silver, steal, winter rims in 15".  they are stamped audi 0000 and i think
are 7" wide.  they also fit over the UFOs (i now have willwoods).

it seems to me like it had one other option (carpet?  headliner?), but i
cant recall what.  i have the options sheet at home.  i will look when i get
home later this week.
