Hey Guys and Girls..
First of all... Hello to everyone!
I have just picked up my first Audi R8! I wanted one for a long time and finally picked it up, earlier this week. It is a V8 R-Tronic.
So I am currently in "R8 owning heven" and finding any excuse to take it out and drive it every day! (I actually LOVE the R-Tronic gearbox. I was worried about it after reading mixed reviews on the forums.. But for me, I treat it strictly as a manual car and never use auto mode. I love the feel of it, and the fact it kicks you a little during a shift.. Thats exactly what I want from a sports car!)
Anyway, I had a few questions, and I apologise in advance if these have been answered anywhere here before! (I did have a quick look but couldn't find any definitive answers)
1) I have a Daytona Grey R8 with silver side blades.. Whilst the silver has grown on me, I really think that Carbon side blades would look much better. Will the Carbon blades be any heavier and therefore lead to any performance reduction?
(Also, I live in New Zealand so anyone know of any good, competitively priced suppliers who ship worldwide?)
2) I am thinking about possibly getting a matt black paint job some point in the future.. I have NO idea what to expect when it comes to cost with this sort of thing? Or whether a "wrap" would be better. Any suggestions/feedback from those of you who have done this before?
3) I wanted to get the rims from the V10 R8 put on this car (The angled ones) as I think they are beautiful.. Again, would these be much heavier/lead to any performance loss?
Thanks in advance guys.. :)
