Default Another new Nardo, but it's a 2019 coupe

Picked up my 2019 Nardo coupe with grey stitching this week, after waiting five months from time of order. Pretty much all major options except for Dynamic Plus Pkg and milled wheels.
Had the full front XPEL PPF installed and the windows tinted 20% the next day. Next on the list is exhaust and wheels. I have HAS on my list but this thing rides so smooth I'll probably wait awhile before messing with suspension, also need to find adjustable upper control arms to get alignment dialed back in. Not sure if the 034 S5 adjustable control arms are compatible.

Hot! This is exactly how I'd build mine. Any Photoshop experts among us that can darken the machine-finished "arms" of those trapezoid-design rims to a gloss titanium or graphite shade? I'm imagining that 12mm spacers and the darker shade would make this just perfect, but remain on the fence between going with and spacing and painting the trapezoid-design wheels or just ordering the peak-design rims......

Default Killed the Pinwheel

No more pinwheel look...It finally stopped raining in California for more than a few hours so I was able to Autoflex gloss black my wheels in my temp paint booth.

Making the wheels full black changed it completely. For the better. Looks great.
