did you order M3 or M4? mine was finished 5/22 and it's already stateside, doing PCD on 7/22. Looks like we got the same build.
Mine is a grigio telesto M4, 6 speed, full sakhir orange.

M3, ZCP, executive, lighting, 6mt

Seeing both in person, telesto is far superior to me. Nardo just comes off as light cement color.

Based on that comparison it has to be Telesto.

This is in bright daylight.

At night, all CF and black accents get lost on telesto. Just my $0.02

Yeah could see that happening.

Was looking at a Nardo M4 ZCP at the dealership today will M Perf kit and it looked great.

I think my mind has changed from GT to Nardo after seeing both in person. Grigio Telesto is great but I wasn't as blown away with it as I thought I'd be when seeing it in the flesh. Nardo is a great color and the CF pops much more.

So, as of today, my vote goes to Nardo

pyceasyas123 · 06-22-2016, 08:34 AM

Telesto

Buschy · 06-30-2016, 12:25 PM

I vote Medio

grigiof80 · 07-22-2016, 04:39 PM

telesto

Coloradom3 · 07-22-2016, 05:03 PM

I get the best of both worlds.

Telesto all the way. And of course some nice gold ceramic calipers poking out of the rims

M4fanatic626 · 08-02-2016, 01:54 AM

My opinion these two colors look like Plasti Dip colors I would get something original if i'm spending an extra $5k

pyceasyas123 · 08-02-2016, 09:00 AM

Telesto doesn't look like plastidip in real life. It's hard to capture a lot of these colours properly in pictures.

RowanBuds · 08-02-2016, 09:03 AM

I thought for sure my next one would be in Grigio Telesto, but having seen Grigio Medio on an M4 recently, I think that would be my pick.

brianeck · 08-02-2016, 09:10 AM

$5,000 flat grey vs flat $5,000 grey.

Not my cup of tea.

edwinm3 · 08-02-2016, 12:03 PM

Had Sakhir Orange and have Telesto now, color is sick!

I was having the Nardo vs Grigio debate two months ago too. Nardo is a real flat colour that doesn't pop, and Grigio is somewhat close to Mineral Grey, and doesn't look distinct in the dark. As soon as I saw Atlantis Blue, I knew it was what I wanted.

Nardo gets my vote! It's so cool looking in all lighting conditions.

Hi guys,
Do you know which color is this ?
Thanks in advance

edwinm3 · 07-09-2017, 12:42 PM

they're both very nice colors, I went with grigio for mine and I think soon will be replaced, not sure what's next. Can't go wrong with either one.
