That looks lovely
You see quite a few B8's in non std colours, but B7's seem to nearly always be black, silver, red or Blue (and very occasionally Imola Yellow)

That's because so many B8's were ordered by dealers as they had no end customers and were stuffed down their throat by Audi UK and they tried to differentiate their stock and convince someone out of a factory order 6month wait straight into a Riveria Blue car

No lol.

I went to Stafford audi today to see the array of colours they had. Just made my life harder :bash:

Going to sleep on it over the weekend. Hopefully the dealer will call me on Monday to say cars gone to stage 20 and can't change anything

Stafford audi looks like they got stuck with a lot of stock. Their stock puts other dealers to shame

I think imola is lovely, I'd be very tempted by that If I was in the market for one

Mica racing blue and the nardo where the ones that caught my eye.

Oh and how can I forget the green rs5. I think it's called viper green. Have to be blind to miss that!

If you add exclusive paint, if not already done so, it'll whack a load of extra time on to your build.

Each to their own, but I genuinely don't understand why/how you're prepared to pay £2600 for a paint colour that could easily be mistaken for many other colours in the range or is free elsewhere.

You have the WHOLE Audi colour palette to choose from to make your car exclusive/individual. Go on, be brave, or IIWY chuck the £2k at some more options, or even better save yourself £2k...

Thanks for the comments guys. My missus keeps saying why am I looking at so many rs4 when I've already ordered one lol :bash:

Think I'm going to take the advice and leave things as they are
