Few pics from delivery. Was a real fan of black optics but IMO feel the titanium suits the Nardo even better

The above is my exact spec except I have gone for the black optics against the Nardo.

I think both titanium and the black look amazing against Nardo and it was a tough decision for me.

Are those wheels the gloss black option or titanium? It's hard to tell in the photos?

Fantastic car. Good luck with it.

Its titanium around the grill and above the rear valance with a mixture of black optics around Windows. Best of both worlds and it stands out as being a performance model

I think you made a great call there actually. There may be a few regrets creeping in. The titanium really makes it stand out as the PE model.

My worry now is that mine will look like a standard RS6 with PE wheels slapped on!!

Aesthetics aside, how are you finding yours? I'm getting so bored with my B8 RS4. I'm ready for the change!!

The same reason I changed from an RS4. The RS6 Performance is in a different league. If you can change go for the titanium but make sure you go gloss black wheels. I was over the moon with my choice and I totally dislike the aluminium pack so you can tell the titanium is nothing like it

I've spec'd the gloss black wheels so pleased with that choice.

According to 'Your Audi' mine is now between the panel Shop and the paint Shop. I called my dealership and discussed any potential changes at this stage and, as I thought, any proposed amendments will cause further delay so b@lls to that. I'm still on the fence anyway so no big deal.

I just can't wait to get it now. There's potential for early delivery too if things keep progressing as they have been to date!! Fingers crossed.

What do you mean a mixure of black optics around the windows? Looks like standard titan trim from the photos. There is no option to mix titan with blsck optics.

To me the titan looks like alu against the nardo colour. Sorry I'm not a fan. l love Nardo but for me it has to be with black or carbon.

Thursday is panel shop, Friday is paint shop.
Saturday and Sunday will be assembly.
Monday will be Quality Control where it normally sits for about a week (maybe more, maybe less, each car varies).
So in about a week from Monday it will be on a train on the way to Emden port.

You know your Audis lol.

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't realise that's the way it worked. Happy days, so there potentially could be an early delivery date.

It's doesn't look anything like aluminium. The surround round my windows is black, I'll send you a pic if you don't believe me

I believe you, I didn't understand what you meant. You said you had titan grill and rear valence and black window optics around the windows, but you actually have titan optics around the windows, not black. There is a black bit there too but that is just what all windows look like, they are all like that even the alu trimmed cars; it is not part of a black optic trim.
