Hmm I quite like the imola,looks good on rotors,but so does the black one on V spokes from that angle.For me prism silver is the daddy on rotors.

Go imola I think the first pics of the b8 don't do it justice, what you think of black v spokes, maybe with a polished edge ?

I'm sure I read somewhere that you're better off not ordering exclusive paint as the defect rate is pretty high. Old wive's tale?

B8 isn't a patch on your b7 or rs5 on rotors mate honest opinion. The red one with the rear shot is lovely but again I don't like red cars lol! I'm a blue or grey kinda guy, safe some might say!!

My experience with the RS3 was pretty shocking. Lacquer peeling on sills and front bumper at about ten months.
