I bet that car would look amazing if all the bodywork were white.

I've seen this car too, just an eye sore, why take a car that is already nice and ruin it by trying to make it something else.

Jesus, that's awful. Looks so much better as an RS5...

Is that not just an S5 (don't believe RS5 have been sold yet or available in cab)?

The piece I don't get the is side scoop. It goes nowhere and unless it channels the air to exit somewhere, doesn't it drag your car down?

Yes, but without it, it wouldn't look like an authentic R8. :)

The black part on the side is actually the part I liked the *least* on the R8. I always thought it looked out of place.

As has been said - take the black bits off and this is actually a really nice car.

There's an R8 kit for the TT as well, which actually doesn't look too bad at all imo. At least, it wouldn't look bad if it wasn't obvious you're trying to make a far lesser car look like a semi-exotic....

I figured that delivery started already or he was one of the first ones. But after searching a bit, 5 or so should be delivered between August and December of this year. This makes it even more fail.

No no, I got your title 100% I laughed at it.

I pointed to the guy above me "looks so much better as an RS5"

WCF Managing Editor Brian Potter said it best when he exclaimed, “I went blind for a few seconds when I first saw it.” So did we, Brian. So did we.

Now THAT I can get behind. Still, not the black side piece tho.

oh man that's terrible on that car, im still not a fan of the kit on the TTs...i guess if you mod a TTRs enough to make it as powerful as an entry R8...then maybe go for the kit? even then...not a huge fan.

those kits are horrible. However, I think the kit for the TT looks pretty decent as long as you get rid of the black side panel.

Here's one without the side panel.

If I could have my way with that kit, I'd make the front grills on the side about 10% smaller to line up with the lights, the side vents for sure and the rear black trim changed to white and without the "vents". That being said, everything else is looks good...
