It's Audi sepang blue with a little Greg Howell twist (added pearl) seen it on various r8's and at the last minute changed my mind from the flat Grey I was going to do

Best decision you'll ever make! Mate of mine sprayed his bimmer flat grey and he's more than tired of people asking him what colour he's going to paint it (obviously, being the mates we are, we ask him everytime we see him :D).

Very nice re-trim Danny, I really wanted something like this done to my seats but thought I might have to lose the seat heating as introducing new panel sizes & additional seams meant cutting into the heating elements. The narrower panels you've chosen should stand up to stretching (as what happens to the panel where your bum goes) better than the standard sized panels as well. Very nice job, love it!

As far as I know fast car and possibly one other gregs sorted this out for me. I have the option of doing the wheels but I don't think it needs them tbh

Looks awesome Danny - love that colour. I am sure Chartered Accountant grey would have made it a real sleeper though :biggrin3: .

That colour is gorgeous. Looks better than sepang blue. Love the ribbed effect of the seats Danny....they won't be sagging! Black optics is better than Chrome on sepang blue. However, I've never been a fan of black alloys (strange cos so many people love them), cos they just blend in with the tire. On that, I personally would prefer the anthracite/ titanium colour alloys with either matching wing mirrors or alu. Very much like this rs5
