Now you can probably buy a early s8 for what he spent plus trade.

Seen it before, clearly electrical : coding is not his thing because he had no idea what he was doing with them lights.

Beautiful paintwork though.

And after all that money spent, he still doesn't have the performance of an S8.

Why not put on Superfly headlights, Dusenburg spare, and a grille from a Roller?

Cheesy as all heck when you can actually BUY the model. It is one think if you are saying taking an RS6 and making it in to a DTM car but this is just sad.

That's the most effort I've ever seen anyone put forward to make a phony. I'm okay with people swapping bumpers and the like, but faking the badges is too far. Did anybody else notice the subtle visual cue that still gives it away as an A8?

I think that the whole A8 mod falls under the heading of "Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should".
