I'm undecided which I prefer

If your rotors were done in Titan they would look way better
Rotors may be common they are that for a reason, they show the concave off better IMO

£2000 extra (above the £600 for normal paint) on paint that other people have on RS4s, and which is also free on other RS models, personally I wouldn't.

If I were to spend that money on another Audi colour it I'd want something pretty rare like Imola Yellow or Java Green rather than a grey which could pass for millions of other cars on our roads.

Colour is pretty subjective though, and I know a lot of people hate Java Green. I however love it...

Is the Nardo standard on other Audis? I tried looking through the configurator at standard models and couldnt find. Actually I cant even find it on the Exclusive chart.

I love the Java Green too. Shame my friend already has it in that colour. Those that don't like it need to see it in the flesh really. Really sets off the car. But he mind have a problem when it comes to selling it though

The RS6 and RS7 both have Nardo as a standard 'Solid' no cost colour.

Waiting for Porsche to alocate numbers to dealers
Chances are slim, but possibility of a later run for f PDK cars, so might get in during that wave
Whichever way, it looks like it's going to a long wait

A few more to throw into the mix...

Kingfisher Blue
Merlin Purple
Solar Orange
Cherry Black


All would look awesome with the black pack and would be different enought to stand out IMO. :)

Here you go. I've never worked out the official name for it, some people call it Cherry Black, some call it Royal Cherry. It might even be two different colours, but it looks very similar...

I can imagine Royal Cherry being a more fitting name. I can see this on a JAG with one of the Royals sitting in the car
