    Sideblades... any color you want!!!

    I swapped out my Daytona grey sideblades for Carbon's not long ago and now have the old ones sitting around. I made some attempts to sell them at a bargain price but it being only 'Daytona Grey', someone would have to want that color specifically.

    So... I have spoken to a close friend that owns a large body shop and what I'd like to offer to anyone interested... a set of R8 sideblades painted in any OEM manufacturers color of your choice. If it exists... we can have the blades created.... Ferrari Rosso Corsa, Lambo Pearl Metallic Flue green, Porsche speed yellow... you name it. Rest assured this is a professional bodyshop with 30+ years doing work for Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler, etc. and will really individualize the car for you

    I'm looking for $1300 USD complete, shipped to your door in the US. International shipping would be a bit more. Its almost half the price of what Audi will charge in the states.

    If you want to get rid of them quickly,Modify to V 10 dimensions and then even I might be interested!!!!!! I have the carbon now but would'nt mind a second set of the V10 blades in my blue!! Then I could sell my carbon blades and still have some lunch money left over!!!!!!!!!

    How do you modify them to the V10? What is the difference?

    I had the dealer swap out the blades. It is NOT a job for the faint at heart and not something to try and do yourself unless you really know what youre doing
