So I think its between Nardo and Grigio Telesto. I really can't make up my mind, most people I ask tell me the telesto looks better... Here's a picture of the two colours side-by-side.

Prefer the right but left will show the contours of the car more. Personally, I’d go nardo but get it mixed as a metallic or a flake added to the lacquer, probably a darker grey flake as it will add depth to the curves as the light catches them

Today I was out having lunch and I saw three dark grey Audi's parked next to each-other. Really made me think twice about going for the dark grey colour... will I just get lost in a sea of dark grey Audis?

I did find somewhere near by with a Nardo grey S3 for sale so went down to take a look and get some pictures. I have to say its a really stunning colour in person. Not at all washed out or crayony like it looks in some pictures, saying that it was just starting to get dark so its not going to represent its true brightness.

Nardo. Having the roof and mirrors done in panther black to break it up. Also the wheels are being powder coated gloss black as well as all the trim is being repainted and powder coated where applicable. Rear lights are also going to get a tint whilst they're out providing it fits into the budget.

Seen it on the insta feed. They should do a decent job from what I hear. Look forward to seeing it.

Ordered a new splitter from Argon Creative, should be arriving in the next few days:

Just so happens this is the last one they had and the last one they will produce so lucky me. They're also producing some black RS4 badges to sit in the side bumper strips to match the rest of the badges. I couldn't stand the idea of having the front and rear rings and badges black but the side chrome, and as nobody produces or sells them this seems like a good option.

How much are your badges costing you? Would it be possible to amend the order for 2 more?

Cheers :thumbs:
