Care to share your 8 pix?

Hope this stays in the Far East forum....just wanted to post a couple of pix of my new 8, not unlike a proud pappy :D Guys who just recently got their 8, share a few pix...guys who already have one, post 'em also! Let's see the diversity of 8's in Singapore....

I think I can post on this since I'm in Australia..... close enough to Far East/Asia and Singapore.

Besides, you posted your pics on my thread, the least I can do is return the favour and post a link.

Yes there is an increase in road noise, but this could be to do with the new tyres being directional and having larger tread blocks whereas the standard Bridgestones are the opposite.

Suspension will only effect road noise when you lower the car too low and it crashes and bumps over every corrugation on the road.
Driving on smooth roads won't give you any additional noise.

awesome. Blue looks nice. I was going for it but unfortunately they didn't have 2 tone blue back leather. So I got the red instead to match the leather. hahaa

If you're asking me, yes it is all tinted except for the front windscreen.
Australian Design Regulations allow you to tint every window a maximum of 35% except the front windscreen.

Thanks Manwe....must admit, the plain black interior would have been nicer with two-tone, but wanted the blue. The red two-tone on yer special indent will be superb...be sure to post pix when you get 'em.

Hi EBS! Yeah, those prodrive rims on cus' car are nice. I'm convinced to upgrade the rims soon....but just enjoying the ride for now. Going to look around a bit first, still haven't gone out on a proper quest for rims. I'm leaning on the SSR's, just a matter of when I want to part with the additional cash.....
