2018 Riviera Blue Audi R8 V10+

[WSM]

For me it’s the ultimate dream car as I said but it’s also a very capable daily supercar. IMHO more so than anything else. You see a lot more daily R8s than Huracan, 570/650s etc etc. I love it hehe.

458/488 would be the next ultimate car for me but I really don’t think you’d daily one!

Would you have went for a different colour if given the chance, @WSM?

The more pictures I see of this the more & more I like it.

You would lol

 

[RoniN]

I really need to get my lens repaired

Did you ever think of getting the "Every Detail" sign done backwards ??
So it would read correctly in the reflections on the car for photo's !!

Cheers

Hmm. Good question. Mexico Blue maybe. I said I wasn’t getting another white car. I’d love a solar orange one actually! But **** waiting 8 months lol!

I saw this today in Belfast, parked up. Very very nice in the flesh

I wondered what I had heard coming down into the lower car park, then it made sense when I saw this parked on my way out

A guy on audi-sport.net has an S3 in Voodoo blue, absolutely unreal colour.

 

[WSM]

Voodoo/Gulf/Mexico/Riviera are all lovely. Gulf is probably my least favourite, with Mexico being my most favourite - obviously Rivieria IMHO is also stunning and it's what really sold the car to me. If it had been white or something else I'm not sure I'd have even bothered. I initially called in specifically to see the colour in the flesh.

@g4ost didn't even give it anything while I was in there. Wish I'd have seen you.

Yeah it didn't sound like you were giving it the beans at all but it still had a nice distinctive sound

I only drove past it on the way out but was able to see it from a mile away - it really stands out (in a good way). I didn't see you standing about anywhere and didn't want to resort to sending a pm on here

 

[WSM]

"keeping it stock" he says...

1400 miles. It's going to Rick next week for the following toys:

Akra Exhaust -- because why would you buy anything else?
Carbon fibre engine bay cover.
Carbon fibre side fins.
Carbon fibre Vorsteiner VRS rear diffuser.
and new front grille in shadow chrome to match the other effects on the car.

My word... it'll be fun next week

 

[WSM]

Also thinking about the Vorsteiner VRS wing to go with the diffuser. I'll probably ignore all splitters as I would be worried about them all being tooooo low.

I've discovered I need to stop hanging around with @mcma1 as this year I'll mostly be eating beans on toast.

 

[ChrisL]

Did you buy these from mcma now that hes sold up or have you just bit the bullet and bought new?

Akra Exhaust
Carbon fibre engine bay cover.
Carbon fibre side fins.
Carbon fibre Vorsteiner VRS rear diffuser.

 

[WSM]

I bought his Akra/Side Fins/Diffuser. I'd already bought an engine bay cover about a month ago, just never got round to fitting it, it's still with @big_pete actually as he coated it for me. @mcma1 told me he was thinking about changing and given all his stuff is basically brand new it was a no brainer for me to buy it

Yea makes sense, barely on his car, so might aswel save a few quid in the process.

 

[WSM]

It's funny when you have conversations about changing things and it's like 'Nah, don't need to change it' then you think actually....... then you end up spending all your money with @mcma1 - Mrs WSM will be unhappy but the akra exhaust will cloud out her noise so it's fine really.

 

[ChrisL]

Spoiler would definitely get a thumbs up from me, would finish off the rear end of the R8 nicely.

 

[chris_b]

Spoiler will be a marmight thing but I actually quite like it !

 

[mcma1]

robbing bastid......

 

[mcma1]

on a serious note I think all the bits will look better on the blue.

Blue will be amazing but on par with yellow I think.

@WSM - anyone will appreciate that Akra lol

 

[WSM]

Yellow is for ****ers @jonny_w

 

[Crispy Rice]

Do you gym?

 

[WSM]

Do you gym?

Professionally. Yes.
