First choice was blue, final choice Dark Verdant with black wheels. I will be ordering gold wheels for second set of rims for daily drive and leave the cup 2 on the black wheels for track fun.

My RS5 was Daytona Grey, my RS7 was Daytona Grey, and I wear grey clothing a lot. So, I am thinking of going with red to make things more exciting. I sometimes think of a collection of fun cars as a bag of M&M candies. It's more exciting to have a handful of green, blue, yellow, and red than just a handful of black or brown. The red will look like a fun piece of candy in my 3rd stall next to my silvery-green F350. Plus, my wife has a dark blue Tesla, which ruled out me getting Seneca :LOL:
So you haven’t gone shadow grey - I was thinking shadow grey as also loved my Daytona grey with all the black carbon bits and black gloss wheels but having had that colour for 3 years I’ve gone Nimbus. But for sports cars I do like to go understated look and not draw any more attention as the car does that anyway. Also I was always paranoid where I would leave / park my R8

Well we've all done that! If I was flipping from Verdant, it would be for Nimbus - great choice - classy and sporty all in one, all while showing off the shape beautifully.
