    Any v8 R8 owners swap the V10 Front/rear bumpers and sides?

    I remember the sales manager told me the fenders on the v10 are wider or more pronounced so would that affect fitment of the v10 fascia onto the v8 car?

    I don't believe so. A couple of members have fitted the front bumper, rear bumper, and / or the side blade on their V8. Personally, I think the V8 bumpers are a little more aggressive and I wouldn't swap mine out for the V10 bumpers.

    The rear bumper facia fits on either car. I have the V10 setup on my V8. It takes about 3 hours or so to change out the two.

    Up front, it's pretty much the same bumper, just different intake louvers. The V10 louvers will fit into the V8 bumper facia, you just need to trim off a tab that has no hole available for it on each of the louvers.

    All body parts from the V10 (F&R bumpers, side skirts, sideblades, etc.) are applicable to the V8. We have done complete conversions a number of times and it's all bolt-on.
