IMO, I was not sold on ANY of the colors. I was going for a Nickel/Gun Metal color, and Sparkling G is not it. I got it anyhow cause it was the closest to what I was looking for. When I saw it, I looked at it 3 different times and saw a bunch of different colors. Grey, Silver, Maroon, Purple, Brown, Blue...

I think its just one of those paints that picks up the colors of the surroundings.

Hate to revive such an old thread, but does anyone know what drop and wheel setup is on that car? Thanks.

Me too with the proviso that some of the colour descriptions are hues of the colour base:

ie Interlagos = blue w/ purple highlights
Jerez = black w/ dark blue "

etc

I'm assuming Sparkling did not sell well as it was phased out quickly. Personally I like it, bit diff.

Had Space Gray been axed instead of Sparkling Graphite, my color choice decision would be far more difficult.

On topic: OP's pics are of a Sparkling Graphite as many have already noted.
