Thought I would post a couple pics of my S8. I'm not done with her yet.

'01-S8

Cleared lenses, lowered (what suspension?), s-line badge (nice touch), Wheels look great. Front plate delete.

All very clean mods. Looks great.

Familiar car? But too low and unknown rims - looks good!

I'm sorry, I should have posted this.

Here's the current mod list:

Suspension - St coilovers
Wheels- BBS LM replica 20x8.5 et25 & 20x10 et40
Tires- 245/35/20 & 285/30/20
Front plate delete
Amber corner delete
Tint

Next:

Quad exhaust
iPod adapter
New brakes and caliper powder coat with S8 decals
Front and rear bumper respray
Front control arm & bushing overhaul
And a list of preventative maintenance stuff that I will be doing.

I'll post more pics and videos when I get the rest done. It's a great car but I can already feel the tranny getting lazy on me after 1000+ miles.

Looks nice!

Never thought of putting LM's on the S8
They really suit the car nicely.

I do like the colour coded under body trims, mine are a dark grey - they look quite elegant, but I do like them black!

Thanks, but the black plastic has not been color coded painted, they've just been restored. I sanded them down with a brillo pad and used automotive black trim paint that you can buy at a auto parts store. I still need to do the same with the areas below the doors.

Nice. A little low in the rear perhaps.
For being this low, it appears that the front has surprisingly little negative camber, do you have adjustable upper control arms?

I was just checking out that front offset 8.5" with ET25!
I'm surprised that fits - I put 8.5's with ET32 on mine and thought that was wide!

I do have 255 tyres though, which adds 5mm each side, so that gets me to roughly "ET27" in comparison I suppose... Amazing what you can do when you play with offset and tyre width.
You got those staggered tyres within 1.5mm circumference too - well done!

The rear looks extra low due to having the wheel turned to the right which throws the cars weight to a side. No front camber plates, whish I did.
