    Anyone thinking V10 Kit on the V8?

    Hey,

    Just wondering if anyone is considering to install the V10 body kit onto their V8?

    I'm thinking about it, side skirts definitely big improvement, and front bumper/ grill along with the rear bumper/ diffuser with the 2 x big oval trims

    Side blade I guess you can get away with it..

    Can I swap the front grille from my V10 (arrival July/August) with your V8? I prefer the black. Nothing else tho'!

    no no no !!! don't dress your V8 up to 'be' something else man, the car in it's own right is an icon, the V8 is the V8, and V10 is the V10 - don't cross gender them!!

    (my personal opinion)

    True say that vida, if you like the look of the V10 more than the V8 buy the V10 simple as that, there's nothing worse than trying to make a car look like something its not.

    p.s Rich how's the search going, any luck yet?
    Ibis white, Black leather, manual, carbon sideblades, inlays, engine, miltek non-resonated, APS remap...have i missed anything!!!!

    Everything is nice (I would not say nicer) but the broken bottom sideblades; that doesn't work for me at all. Yes, ok more air in in but in terms of design fluidity: big no.

    same here, most of the V10 changes are visually for the worse imho - alloys, sideblades, oval pipes, black no. plate panel etc. but it sure does drive nice!
