Additionally, Nardo isn't on the 2018 Exclusive "Pre-approved" paint list. Does that mean the charge will exceed the $3900 standard exclusive $?
Hyperspeed literally posted the video that inspired me to go for Nardo Grey. It seems to be a "love it or hate it" color, but it grabbed me so hard I couldn't resist. No clue about the "pre-approved" list, but basically I walked into the dealership with all the listed line items, and they told me that the paint color would be an extra $3900 and extend the build time by about 6 weeks. So either they goofed and I'll be an angry customer, it's on that "pre-approved" list, or you can order it despite the fact it isn't on the list.

And yeah, I really wish there was a black optics package as it looks much better than aluminum trim. I've decided I'll just get the mirrors wrapped in CF, and the trim in gloss black. For the grill, I have no doubt there will be a black aftermarket grill at some point..

Well, I hope it all goes as planned. Please post photos when car arrives.
I'm also contemplating Cumulus Blue (pre-approved list). I don't need the car til October, so I have to explore.

That nardo paired with BO is absolutely stunning in all the pics I've seen. Can't wait to see your sportback when it arrives.

In reality, the gray looks nothing like that. It looks quite boring (in my opinion). It is the color of fresh cement.

Here are some realistic photos of that color if you click on this link:

I was in your camp originally, but the more I see the color (yes, I have seen it in person) the more i like it. I was debating Riviera Blue vs Nardo when my dealer said neither was available even via exclusive order (Canada).

I then saw the video Hyperspeed posted and the one below, and went with Ibis White.
