Re: Faisal’s R8
I’m with Eddie - looks like a 6N Polo from the pic. I honestly can’t remember what was there today apart from the 2x RS6’s, as i wasn’t there long.
Last time I was there though...

Re: Faisal’s R8
Well - I’m meant to be collecting it tomorrow, but I’m stuck in Dubai. We had to miss our flight home yesterday as my son has come down with chickenpox - so can’t fly until no longer contagious.max_b wrote:Congrats Faisal

Gives more time for the new wheels to arrive at SL though - they still haven’t got to Prestige Wheels yet (should arrive today).
I just have this one teaser pic from Nick so far but he tells me he has more pics to send me. I think this was before the final layer of gyeon went on

So - bit of last minute Friday afternoon drama with the wheels!
Had a call from Camspec at 3:30pm saying the rear wheels don’t fit! Wouldn’t clear the calipers. At the rear!?!? They also thought if they tried to space the wheels out the tyre would be hitting the arch, having tried 5mm and it not being enough.
So a couple of frantic calls later - Delroy as Prestige Wheels recommended up to 10mm spacers should be fine for arch clearance. Passed that info onto Camspec- feeling pretty anxious and depressed.
At 4pm I went into a meeting at work.
At 5pm I came out to these pics on my phone!
They managed to find 10mm hubcentric H&R spacers on a Friday afternoon! At the local eurocarparts of all places.
Road tested and no rubbing apparently! Unbelievable.
Massive thanks to Prestige Wheels and Camspec!

Re: Faisal’s R8
Del is a wheel legend, he knows his stuff.
Not sure I'm a fan if the BBS wheels on an R8 but I know you like them.
Loving that carbon though, so sexy.
And you went for gygeon over gtechniq in the end? What swayed you? Be interested to hear your thoughts compared to the gtechniq after you have had it for a while.
