Re: Faisal’s R8
Nice work! I remember discussing this idea at ADI last year. Congrats.
Mods wise, speak to DK, hes your V10 man! Buckets, exhaust, and GT rear lights given your car is all black
PS. Its actually impossible to google 'GT rear lights' without an R8 that DK has owned popping up.

Re: Faisal’s R8
Funnily enough that was my first thought, a la Jon Olsson. You are welcome to store it in the boot of my Avant at ADI again.

Nah, surely it would *have* to go around the track with it on!

Re: Faisal’s R8
Love that. Well done.

Thanks for the kind words all.
In answer to a few of the questions:
- Not sure what headunit yet, but it’ll likely be a Apple CarPlay compatible touchscreen by Panasonic or Alpine. Will see what my car audio dude recommends
- Keeping the B7 for now. The idea was to sell it, and then get a bigger family car to replace the wife’s GTi. But she’s insisting I don’t sell her golf (she’s quite attached to it now) and keep the B7 for family duties! Winner!
- There will 100% not be a roofbox on the R8! Don’t worry
- Interesting to hear the recommendation of gyeon over Gtechniq. I’ll look into that. The crystal serum and EXO on my RS4 has been superb, but the detailer I’m probably going to use this time (SL Restorations) also do gyeon.
