Gentlemen, my new baby arrived today after a 9 month wait - thanks to the delay for adding Exclusve paint!

Nimbus Grey (nimbusgrau), the colour of the original TT concept car way back and I believe seen on a recent TT-RS edition. Dunno why but I really fancied it, wanted an industrial almost-flat tone and I reckon it suits the car's character well. Subtle, but evil

Bit of an overcast day here, and was quite late by the time I collected, so the pics are a bit dull, I'll add more photos when the sun's out. Pretty sure this will have a bit of "flip" to it depending on the light source.

Spec. for anyone interested:

- Exclusive Nimbus Grey paint
- Black nappa leather with grey piping
- Piano black inlays
- Sports package incl. High Gloss 20" Rotors
- Parking System Advanced
- Convenience package
- Privacy glass
- Heated front seats
- Rear side airbags
- 5 year warranty

55 delivery miles on the clock, did a quick blast tonight so it's up near 100 now - great car, really really happy with it

Absolutely Stunning

Darker wheels and black optics and that's a winner

Every man and his dog is running titaniums so thought I'd be different, so left the frames and rails silver to match - works for me, ymmv

Agree with you there, titanium wheels and black optics would have clashed with this colour. I saw one of the limited edition TT's in the showroom in this colour and it is very nice.

Btw, your tax disc is missing

Liking the Nimbus grey

Not 100% sure of the rotors & lack of Black optics, but seeing her in the flesh would help. Good for you for being a little more unique though. If I'd sorted my sh1t out I would have done the same rather than been so bloody impatient!!!

Well spotted! Apparently will be sent direct from DVLA, dealer was kind enough to tax for a year and a week so it will run from 1st April

I honestly thought the standard seven or so colours were a rather limited selection, plus minimum £650 or whatever for anything non-white! Basically a £1,500 upgrade to a choice of over a hundred - was torn between this, a light baby blue A1 colour called Cumulus and a rich burgundy called Dark Red Mica - so lots of ideas were on the table, defo wanted something different.

So Panzer grey it is! It's the colour of a Tiger tank, suitably Germanic LOL

I love it!

Very nice, I love the restrain in the choice of optics.

Best colour choice I have seen on one of these. Well done.

It's a beauty! Gratz

100% agree, nice for people to compliment someone who's taken time to post!. Congrats.

It's like saying "...great colour, love it but in Blue with Vs it would be perfect...."

IMHO dark wheels and black optics/mirrors are a bit "Max Power". For me the Nogaro and Misano are the only colours which can handle black optics.

Way back in the day, I had Nimbus TTC...loved it.

Great colour,

Black optics would make it look like a "show car" …………... which would also look good though.
