R8 finally arrived!

Post by ad2330 » Thu Apr 14, 2016 4:22 pm

Hey gents -

I'm coming from a b7 RS4. Had her for about 6 1/2 years, and was just ready to do something different.

After searching for what seemed like ages, I found the car!

She's a 2015 V10+. Previous owner really did a phenomenal job building her.

Aftermarket upgrades include:

20" ADV.1 wheels
Capristo Exhaust
KWv3 coilovers

Anyways, a few pictures:

And a few from the previous owner:
