iR8V8

Post by iR8V10 » Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:11 pm

I bought this car in July 2011, thought no need for mods, it's perfect...

That lasted all of 5 minutes when it got debadged and since then I've had a black optics front grill on order, it's been 2 months and counting on back order at audi so I got impatient with some insulation tape this afternoon...

10 minutes later...

Pretty pleased considering its a botch job until the proper one comes in!

Already got a set of GT rear light clusters and black exhaust tips to go on at the end of the month with some uprated filters too!

Slippery slope to forced induction this!!!!

I'll keep updating here with pics as I do more and more of what I said I wouldn't!

It looks beautiful - the de-badging and black grill look superb. :beerchug:

Black is my favourite colour for the R8.

Looking great mate.

Look forward to seeing the light going on. Any other mods in the pipe line?
