   • 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

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

4. 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.

     • 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..

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