Project: Carrera Audi R8

Postby ListerStormGT » Thu Sep 25, 2014 8:44 pm

Harry sent me this car about a year ago and I started to do a repaint on it but it went to the back burner. Pulled it out the other day and started thinking, it's a nice car and drove well but it can be better. Slot it 17x8 on front with 19x10 zero grips and CB Design17x10 on rear with Yellow Dog 1408RY and Slot It BBS inserts. Slotting plus axles, slot it 27t gear, 9t pinion and b-nova adapter with slot it wood guide.
Now its off to paint. Should be a another good one in the fleet when done.

Thanks guys,
The paint is definitely going to be over the top or at least that is my plan. I had to sand the center of the inside of the rear inserts to get them to sit that deep in the CB Design wheel but worth the work to get the look that I wanted.

Looking forward to seeing what you do. It's a nice base car to start with. Can only get better in your capable hands.
