Reds Transformation

hi all,

After two yrs, decided to do up my ride rather than changing new ride.
Reason.: just couldn't find another ride as attractive than 8 from my limited pocket.

Before....






After....


My humble ride being R (Eighted)



sorry for poor pics quality(taken with phone). taking more pics with digital cam after changing the wheels.

Nice. Wise choice on keeping the 8 and upgrading the exterior, is a thing of freakin beauty.

Well done! I liked the gold ones, too, but imo you should paint the front mesh black.

I like the new rims better than the gold....Well done! Though, I'm still not a fan of strakes.
