At last , i`ve joined the club !

[elf63]

Hi all , recently done a deal with the father-in-law for his 2001 M12 as he`s just had delivery on an Audi R8.The car is number 11 and had a full drivetrain transplant in 2004 ie 3ltr engine(with noble 400+hp},6 speed,lsd. Since then its been fitted with M400 shockers,big brakes,etc and has only covered 9000 miles from new - so just run in ! Took it to Silverstone last wednesday for track day and came back with that big smile .Looking forward to meeting up with some of you before too long .Thinking of replacing rear lights for tailblazer type with smoked covered lense, where do i get them from ?

Join the queue or rather don't, they were Marcos tso lights and sadly no longer available.

you could try Noblemods for the non lensed version.

Welcome on board.

Having had the (dis)pleasure of an R8 for a weekend, I think he might want it back from you if he has any sense of owning a drivers car.....

After a few laps around Silverstone he did say he`d probably made a mistake , but it keeps the misses happy -no more neck jirking ! elf

They were fitted at the factory a couple of years ago, i think Lee recommended them.

I think they only realy help if you have an oil cooler and its in the pod area. This is a good mod to do though.

Unless you go the water/air oil cooler!

Agreed

Maybe the mirrors and wing ends need to match though

That covers silver in the midle and backend of the car, so what about the flared air intake at the front bottom just above the splitter?
