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....
Butterbody?
