Saw that on Instagram last night. Lambo paint. Looks stunning. Perfect ride hight / spacers as well

Perfect. Except for the naff red lines on the rear diffuser blades.

I'll disagree with that, the rear of the C7 needs something for definition, this might be it. The red of the front badge is tied in with calipers, so the red of the rear badge is tied up with the diffuser pinstripes.
Lose the rear privacy glass, then perfect.

So what's the deal with the Lambo paint?

WTF

Golfather actually posted a picture of a sensible car with working suspension...hell...I actually quite like it too. Looks like Nano grey?

Ah I get it, his account has been hijacked

I agree with Bam Bam, the rear is a little flat on the C7. The stripes are not so bad, just different and take a moment to assimilate. As always personal taste defines success on mods. It raises a good point through. I de-badged mine then thought it was missing something and so added a black badge.

I guess if you take the idea a little further you could do a few things. I thought about the inside of a Paul Smith suit for example....clean outside with a jazzy lining. It might be interesting to paint the underside of the spoiler to match for example. Subtle, generally hidden but then snappy when you spot it.

Forgive me for asking something that's probably been asked, discussed and debated ad nauseum. Andy_W mentioned spacers: what's the fascination and hype about them? When all the laws of physics render them to having nothing but a negative impact on the abilities and performance of the car?

It has been mentioned a few times and proven that there are no negatives within reason

Infact the biggest Audi tuner ABT supplies them as standard with all their wheels as do many others. You will also find them on Porsches tequipment options list.

For me I think the standard wheels look a bit lost in the huge arches which is why I will either put them on or go for aftermarket wheels that will fill them out a bit more.

I've previously had AC Schnitzer supply spacers with a set of their wheels for a BMW. All manufacturer approved and done under warranty because the OEM BMW split rims lacquer kept blowing.

Have to agree with bum_bum, the red stripes help the rear of the C7. Get the rear windows tinted in a lighter shade and it's 99% perfect.

Looks amazing. Is that an audi special order exclusive paint?

I like that. A lot.

As above, can that paint be specified as an exclusive colour then?

Ahhh, right! Well thanks for that little nugget of enlightenment. I've always wondered. From when I first heard of them and Googled them, I've been at a loss about it all....
Cheers.

Oh, so it's something only I was ignorant to it seems!

I reckon it's a wrap, because in the flesh i'd say it's not worth getting Telesto over Nardo.

Either way, looks great!
