I saw you at the Modball finish line in Ibiza, it looked incredible!

Now that the Mobdall and such events are over it was time to make the car a bit less stand out (how i always planned the car to look).

I like it and it looks much better back in the original blue.

I see you've also finished the front wheel arches that some others had mentioned.

I like the kit, but personally I think the front end needs a bit of gloss black around the side intakes to break it up a bit.
Not a fan of the spoiler on the vert. Do very much like the new wheels though.

For me it now resembles a car from GTA, just looks very uncomfortable if that makes sense.

Its also a whole lot different to drive, handles much better than it did and the shedded weight and lighter wheels has made it how i feel Audi should have made it.

Ive been running a standard V10 lately and its crazy how different they are, it makes the drive of the standard V10 seem boring.

Life would be boring if we were all the same wink

Big spoilers and soft top roofs just don't go together.

At the end of the day, it's a toy. Albeit an expensive one.

What do we do with toys? We play and have fun.

Nice to be in that position; there's no ego here, just a chap playing with his R8.

I think it looks much better in blue with the tweaks to the body work. Panel gaps aren't brilliant but neither are many Ferrari's!

I expect it also looks like much more of an event in the flesh than the pictures do justice. First time I saw the new F-type I had 'a moment'. No pictures or videos prepared me for what it was like in the flesh!

To compare it to that st box Saxo is a bit fking ridiculous

No idea. Only just saw the ad and thought I'd seen it before. Is 620bhp a bit optimistic?
