But nardo is a solid colour abs lighter. This is closer to daytona with more pop. Also, they're are loads of nardo cars about, how many of these have you heard of? Both of those points make a pretty strong argument for why you'd get telesto over nardo.

It does look great, I get a half-mongrel every time I look at it.

This is a more accurate reflection of Telesto, IMO, having seen a couple of Aventadors in the colour. For me, it's not that different from Nardo.

I get what you mean though, with Nardo avaliable on the RS3 it's starting to become 'common'.

I'd rather this than primer grey!

Wow. That looks nothing like the finish on the OP post. I stand corrected, innit, you're right.

Perhaps it's Grigio Lynx, then.

that last image is not representative of Grigio Telesto, which is much darker than Nardo...trust me! If my GT Gallardo wasn't at dealer for sale, I could give you a side by side shot...

First-world problems.

Seriously though, that Grigio Telesto is a stunning grey. I have wood.

Me to. Given that the difference between AUDI and lambo in the VAG family is meant to be drama that's a bl--dy good picture. Chubby. Damn these camera on phones being so variable,

You are right; cameras (and light) make it almost impossible to judge.

IMO, Nardo is a bit darker than that in 'real life' - looks too pale above. Similarly, i have seen a Telesto Murcielago to be exactly like the Gallardo i posted, which is why i posted it :wink:

I had my caterham painted in Grigio telesto after seeing it on the press demo Chris Harris rags around on you tube. It changes hugely depending on the light but never gets as light as Nardo grey. It's also a metallic colour but to be white honest it's never looked anything other than a kind of wet-look Matt. Lovely colour I assure you!

Ha thanks FaisalJ - I was super confused! Will get them up tonight! So I take that rule number 1 is to post pics alongside your words if you have an opinion? Sorry for the mistake!
