there were 2 ‘flat’ greys on the TT—-a lighter shade which was known as Aviator Grey….and then a darker grey known as Nimbus grey…..i think this M1 looks more like the Nimbus grey
Wow is right. That is the best looking M1 I’ve seen. The grey is perfect, and that interior… the leather/cloth combo is unreal. Totally love it, thanks for these.
Is that battleship grey from the early 2000s Audi TT?

That color looks fantastic. Is it an original one from the 80s ?

I am hoping my wife decides on either for the color of her surprise MKI Xmas gift. Although I will paint it whatever color she wants..

That is the hottest color on just about any car. On this car, it’s smoking.
