It's a thing of beauty

Ross thats looks tip top. I've always like purple but never had the balls. I used to love a purple S2 Elan that went around town. For me size mattes and for whatever reason I think it looks amazing on your 4 but less so on the 6. Would like to see one in the flesh though. Google the Purple Rain covered by the Waterboys on you tube for some aural quality to match the image.

That velvet is bloody lovely! There's the next colour for me. Nice one Sam!

Cheers, I'll try remember that now.

I'd say your Merlin colour has a more pop from looking at all the pictures you've posted, Velvet looks like a darker hue of purple. I went to Worthing Audi when they had that Java Green one there and its a cool colour but I certainly didn't have the minerals to own it. There was also a Glut Orange one for sale around here but its now been wrapped in a dark Grey colour and put up for sale again with another dealer.

Then there's this one which is described as Nano Grey which I haven't heard of before and it looks darker than Nardo?

As if my search criteria wasn't hard enough, I quite fancy an exclusive colour now

Nano is a new colour first launched on the MK3 TT.

It's darker than Nardo, but unlike Nardo which is Solid, Nano is Metallic. My friend has just bought a new TTS in this colour.

Oh well, if it's a standard colour for the TT, that's killed it for me.

Looks nice though, certainly darker than Daytona.

Excuse her crappy pics, but this is the car when she picked it up. In my opinion it sits between Nardo and the original Nimbus in terms of shade...

That looks a tad lighter than the RS4 in one of the links I posted? Probably something to do with the showroom lights perhaps.

Definitely the lighting. On an overcast day its very dark.

Sorry for going off topic Ross.

Sam I like that nano Grey one. Don't like the style of the aspiri wheels, I'd want the rotors put back on it.

Yes...sorry Ross

Agreed on both aspects there Mike, I'll keep that car in mind but it lacks a Pan roof which I really do want.

Going to look over this Exclusive Racing Blue Mica at the weekend. Not keen on the wheels or the optics, so would have to spend a lot getting rid of the matt aluminium packs and getting the wheels titanium coloured with diamond cut lips. Oh and the interior colour is 2nd choice, the joys of buying used

Agreed, lovely colour but needs black optics and darker wheels as you say.

Bramleys? That's very strong money for the age and miles.

Nice colour and spec, but like you i'm not a fan of all the shiny stuff or interior.

Yes at the begining of the year it would have been really strong money, but now the market has kicked in a bit, its strong money. Should be £40k.

I believe it's first of the MY2014 cars, my biggest worry though is that it has no DRC as I really like that setup.

will be easier to buy a new set of wheels than try to convert those

Post by **Surrey Sam** » Thu Apr 07, 2016 8:47 pm

Really DK, have you tried refurbishing one of your ex's to that finish before?

Been quoted £100 a corner for the OEM Titanium and Diamond cut look, which I thought was quite reasonable.

Post by **HYFR** » Thu Apr 07, 2016 9:09 pm

as long as they do a proper job, fair enough.

not many place's can achieve that level of finish or quality for £400 - hence my comment

I could imagine a cost to change of c.£250 via eBay.de
