Sweet car. What are some of the options that are desired on a r8?

For me it went something like this...

90% preference for white, the last 10% was a tie between silver and red.

I wanted at least a 2009 for subtle differences vs. a 2008...LED strip in the headlights, white lettering on the multi-function display instead of red, LED interior lights. Anything more than a 2009, though, starts to get pricier.

Must haves:
-Manual
-Carbon Side Blades
-Carbon Interior
-Black Leather Interior (no alcantara on the seats)
-Bang & Olufsen Stereo

Nice to haves:
-Carbon Engine Bay (although now that I have one, it would be a must have)
-Extended Leather Pack (leather dash, door cards, knee bolster, dash cowl, etc...) (same goes for the dash...so much nicer than any plastic!)
-Alcantara Headliner


When this car came up with everything the way I would have ordered it from the factory...I had to.

Bonus came when Derek and I fired it up for the first time and looked at each other, "That's not the stock exhaust, but it sounds awesome." During the OOP, Calgary Autoworks confirmed it was a Milltek non-resonated; the exhaust I was thinking of putting on anyways.

Hands down my favorite car I have ever driven. Now add some straight pipes Rob!

No need, the Milltek is absolutely perfect in my opinion...

Congrats again Rob! She's a beauty. PS. Where do I take my number for joining the "Give me a ride" list?

On the dry, does it get fishtaily at all under serious throttle? or does the Quattro & T.C still keep it well seated?

Picked up the R8 from Jed (Mobile Reflections - http://www.mobilereflections.ca) last week and all I can say is....WOW! Jed's worked on my S4 and R32 previously and always did a great job and this time, no different, fantastic results.

I had him pull off the old, yellowing 3M, do a full polish and put on a bunch of Xpel Ultimate to protect it. To top it off, he put on a couple coats of CQuartz Finest.

Here are some pics.
