Love these cars! I didn't like the diamond polished wheels against the blue but against the wrap they look brilliantly, awesome car.

Did Nissan sell the Micra with that paint effect too years ago? Such a cool look even on that.
R8 looks amazing OP.
Micra and Primera both had flip paint options.

As for the R8 it looks fantastic

Looks great, I'd be keeping the wrap a bit longer I think!

Do you know where you'll be in Luxembourg? I'll buy you a beer and stick some money in the charity kitty.

Your going to have some serious fun, god life sucks...

Did I read you were going to tune it within every inch of its life?? But only added exhaust? Maybe I misread

I passed you down by Kirkcaldy this morning buddy.

I was in my Blue Focus RS on route to pick up a M3 for myself.

Car looks mental in the flesh. Nice one :-)

The car is going to be getting a pretty wild Map, currently in talks with a few tunes to see who can get the most from it safely.

Cheers for the other comments guys, I covered near on 1200 miles this weekend, via Glasgow, Edinburgh and so on and then all the coast roads on the way home (Via Crail)

Ran the car for an absolutely pointless comical run where the traction control kicked in and made it pretty much bog down and go nowhere till 3rd gear, the guy in the S3 alongside me will have no doubt thought he kicked an R8 V10’s ass haha.

Thanks for the comments folks, the car is fairly taking shape now and I am off down south to the guys at STaSSIS tomorrow for some cheeky engine tuning.

The local paper ran a feature on the car and the event today which will hopefully raise awareness for the charity i am raising funds for.

Some pics.
