For example the front bumper alone came in at 45kg (complete) the carbon one weighs 6kg and very similar for the rear.
Things like bumper reinforcements and brackets etc all add up (no longer required)
So, err, are you saying you've removed the front and rear bumper beams and other parts of your crash structure?Things like bumper reinforcements and brackets etc all add up (no longer required)
That's your crash structure, man!

As soon as I saw TBC had commented on this I knew he would give it a bashing. Your like a jealous kid when you can't have something you slag it off. Go get it your "mint mondeo" and fk off!
5% Mondeo actually, which is probably more than your R8 is an Audi k off! It's actually pathetic that because I dislike something it's put down as jealousy. The fact is I dislike it because anyone with an ounce of taste can see it looking bloody awful
I don't come these forums much but when ever you comment on a readers car it's just about how st something is.
Same as when the guy bought the 360 spyder when he was young, I don't care how he afforded it just want to look and hear about the car but instead everyone gave him st and now we don't get to hear about it.
Anyways I am glad he is doing this to the R8 it's different and normal people like me get to hear about and see the transformation. So stop giving him st about it or he will do the same and not bother posting about it.

I seem to remember he had a plethora of exotica and then suddenly did a disappearing act.t something is. Same as when the guy bought the 360 spyder when he was young, I don't care how he afforded it just want to look and hear about the car but instead everyone gave him s

He was about 19 and had a GT-R and a 360 from doing an apprenticeship or something.

I couldnt care less if he sells his ass or his nan to get money for his cars but would def like to hear about his cars this is Pistonheads!Call me a moaner, call me suspicious. But something was definitely a miss with that.

Again OP great work

You mean tranter5? He wasn't an apprentice and if I recall, he was very open on how he was able to afford the cars that he owned.
It is a shame that posters (such as you) made it your mission to know every detail of his business and couldn't take a step back to appreciate that a young PH'er only wanted to show his pride and joy on a motoring forum.

It's a shame people are so jealous that if someone has something better than they have there must be something dodgy going on as apposed to other people doing better than they are.

Your posts cheapen the forum.should probably rename the thread "How to make an R8 V10 look like a MR2
OP, fair play to you for having the balls to do this to an R8! Not entirely sure on the wheel design just yet, however I can't wait to see it finished! I'm sure it'll look awesome.
