A few shots of my toy since getting it back from Monkfish Tuning. Plus the suns come out a little recently.
Spec is (for now anyhow):
Heatbeat Supercharger - probably the only one in Europe currently.
Pedders supercar coilovers - truelly full adjustability
Pedders ARB -set to mid point as I'm getting on now! biggrin
VCM intake
Full exhaust
Flushed alloys by using custom hubcentric spacers
20" alloys
Carbon dipped interior

Will be doing the cam, bigger fuel system and bigger exhaust soon. Currently running about 600hp on low boost which is quite tame compared to some of the other VXR8s about here. The new charger does make for a very smooth drive mind with little to no noise so very stealth.

Looks fantastic! How responsive is the auto box?

"[the supercharger] makes little to no noise"

Is this allowed?! Surely a crime.

Lovely car OP smile

It's better than my old C5 RS6 although the LS3 engined boxes are better. No DSG mind as it's still a slush box but it's quite good now it's been remapped.

Very nice yes

The carbon dipped interior looks very high quality too.

Looks allot better in real life, was pleasantly supprised and pleased when I got it done. PITA to strip the head unit to get the front face done and breathed a scey of relief when it's all worked again! smile

I can't begin to imagine the hassle of stripping the radio down! Just had a google about how carbon dipping is done - that's some crazy chemistry in action nerd Looks very lustrous even in the photos.
