Imola Yellow - the exclusivist of 'exclusive'?

Post by kmpowell » Sun May 21, 2017 9:00 am

It was November 2014 and I was in full swing trying to find a new & unregistered B8 to buy. I'd arranged to visit a dealer who had 3 in stock with a 4th arriving very soon that was in an unknown 'Exclusive' colour. I walked into the dealer to see this and fell in love instantly...

The missus put the kybosh on it. But from that day on I've never seen or heard of another in the UK.

Browsing PH ads his morning (as you do on a Sunday!) I see that very car is now for sale and still looking absolutely mega...!

I looked at an Imola Edition example, my eyeballs felt like they'd been assaulted.

It wasn't for me and preferred a Java Green one as something different.

Those stupid wheels don't help, or the silver trim.

The interior was just as confused as well. Loud colours definitely need Black Optics.

B7 worked well in Iola

B8 seems too big and ugly

Thought it looked alright on your RS5 DK.

I like it! Loved Imola since the B5 RS4. Definitely needs to have black optics though.

That one you posted Sam is horrendous. It was probably a dealer spec, some of them seem to have no style! Aluminium trim and a red pinstrip on the wheels. Horrible!

Kmpowell, it must be a sign.... do it!

It is the same car, it has the pan roof and was sold & registered a few weeks before I bought mine. Check the spec out in the link I posted above the pictures.
