Nice! Please post some more pics when you get it!That is my build
I own a nimbus /tan but having seen the ice grey and nimbus with upper black pack at Southampton I think it looks really futuristic and is a perfect match. In hindsight I would have gone with that combination. Shouldn't work but really does
Talking of the ice over NG at Southampton. Covered 1500 miles thus far in it trouble free and loving the combo (I was originally a NG and black alcantara i4 but swapped out due to the early reviews of the i4. Really pleased I did).

Almost any color/combo works with any vehicle that looks good like the Emira. If you start with a beautiful shape/lines/curves, you've already won in the "looks" department. There may be some outlandish combos with colors that clash, but barring those, you can't really go wrong with your Emira choices.
I spent MANY hours fretting over the color choices for a Corvette C8, changing my mind too many times, only to finally realize the above.
Finally, it's tough to rely on the configurator when playing with color combos. It's far better to see the Emira (or any vehicle) up close, to know what the colors really look like in the shade/sun.

Will you keep both the C8 and the Emira? I’m heavily leaning towards the Emira for the manual gearbox, but the C8 seems like the bargain of the century in terms of performance.
I'd keep both, if I had the money and (moreso) an understanding spouse but my "better half" of 35 years, has zero understanding when it comes to my "sport car obsession" (sigh).

Thanks for the pics!
I saw this combo Nimbus, Ice interior, Nimbus roof, silver wheels in the showroom of VDK in the Netherlands.
It is absolutely stunning !!!!! and the best spec I have seen so far. Car has yellow calipers...and the one mod I would still make is silver calipers to go with the silver wheels.
You can find it here:
Nimbus Ice Emira

Thanks! Agreed, I’d personally change the calipers (red for me). But looks great!
It is the best combo……in my eyes of course
…….I will grab some more from the dashboard and different angles…..I notice from my camera roll I am not a bog picture taker as I can look at it all the time 
I just got plebty of compliments this weekend comparing to others, I think it strikes an awesome balance with the nimbus, and white/silver grey leather is not the typical combo and screams again supercar looks for me, as it is I think a rare combo on any car, not just the Emira
