    Where I live they`re are a couple of R8s I see regularly, but spotted one today that made me do a proper double take.

    Was driving past the opposite way, so didn`t get a picture, so the mission is on to find it parked up and have a good nosey...

    It had a full matt black vinyl wrap with the grille trimmed in a red stripe (ala GTI), and dark wheels.

    Takes some balls to `modify` an R8, so big respect to the owner...looked tough as hell...me wants...

    A bit like this, but with the chrome grill in red, and the I`m pretty sure the `airblade` was matt too.

    A quick Google shows it`s been seen in and around Manchester a few times recently...the hunt is on...

    Proof that money really really can't buy taste.




    The wrapped Matt Black one though, is lovely.

    He`s a bender though, so not a case of balls just extremely bad taste...

    Didsbury. It`s been spotted around most of South Manchester. Got to be one of the Chesire Set or a footballist.

    I've seen the very same car parked outside an alloy wheel refurb place on the city works Business park in openshaw about a month ago, I thought the very same about it taking balls, but it looks awesome.

    He's not, my mate was boning his fit ex bird for a bit. I suppose he could have turned though, certainly looks like it after seing his cars. The bent ****.
