One for the paint gurus here...
What colour would you say this car is? I don't have any better pictures of it at the moment I'm afraid.
I've tried searching but I find Dolphin and Daytona to close to tell in the photos, but I'm hoping others will be able to tell me what colour it is.

It's Dolphin Grey. I pretty sure Daytona Grey was reserved for the RS4.

You can custom order any car in any color and from the looks of the car its not a us spec car so the colors could be different. If this is a us spec car i can run the vin and tell you exactly what color the car is...

Based on the UK plate and the OP's location as UK, I'm going to go ahead and say it's a UK spec car. [:p]
That being said, it's totally Dolphin Grey. Too blue to be Daytona and I would think if somebody is going to pay the $2500USD or whatever it is for custom order paint they're not going to do it on what appears to be a pretty base model car. [:D]

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm pretty sure its dolphin too.
I'm still undecided if the B7 I want is a Dolphin Grey, Quartz Grey, or Silver. Best keep looking at those 'official' colour threads I suppose!

I vote dolphin grey for your choice... And that's because i own one and even i wanted an ibis white at first, now i am happy for my choice...

I do like Dolphin, and from the cars in the real world I've seen on the road, it does look great. Does it have a lot of blue in it? Only saying because I had an A6 that I think was Oyster grey, and I didn't really like the colour. I'm hoping dolphin grey is very much grey.
And heres a little photoshop I did of a dolphin grey with a few mods added. Has kinda won me over a bit. Thanks to whoevers car it was original I photoshop (I forget who! :D)

Dolphin grey is the best of the choices you listed (I also own one). It has some blue under the right light, but it's very much grey. I was only saying it has more blue compared to Daytona, which has zero.

Nice pshop man... I saw the side vent at the rear bumper and i thought it's a DTM one but the same time i saw the Sline rear diffuser and i'd been confused...

Thanks man, I spent a couple of hours on it, I'm not actually that good! And it is meant to be a DTM bumper, but I couldnt get a good enough picture of a DTM to photoshop on to it.
