Awesome mate! Love black R8s
Front de-badge already?

Are those the A1 1.4tfsi wheels? They look great on R8s ;)

A1 wheels??!!

They are Rotors...super rare in R8 fitment as where only available for 4 months in the UK.

Front is debadged as it has bonnet/bumper resprayed as part of dealer prep and I'm getting it Venture Shielded once paint has cured...then I 'might' put the rings back on ...

What dya'll recon?

Looks awesome.

Have to say I'm not a fan if rotors, but I can see their appeal here.

Love a good ring...

Also illuminated R8 logo door sills...which will look super cool at night !

That looks mean mate! Top down full guns must sound pant wettingly good.

Think it looks sleek no rings

Phwoar! Stunning. Looks good without the badge. That interior is sweet! Especially like the metal gear shift gate, looks epic. Enjoy :)

Titan badges are a good shout...

Loving the rotors, especially on the black.

Not seen many in black

Not a fan of the wheels, prefer std ones. If not from an A1 they must be from an A3 special edition
