Audi R8 custom

[peacetaker]

Hi all, been a long time

The idea behind this, is that I'm making a subtle body kit for the R8.
So nothing over the top, besides things that would be functional in real life.

I'm not going to put parts on it that came from a jumbo jet, I want it to be nice and clean

Since it is a custom kit, it's not meant to be 100% accurate, I just want a recognizable version

As always, C&C are welcome!

Hey,
Nice idea, I see you have nice mess with wire under headlights. Model looks good.
Take a look on ABT's R8 Audi wallpapers and high resolution pictures

I posted some pictures from the Auto this weekend of the R8; close ups if needed...

@ janusz

Thanks but I think the ABT is already a bit too much, it's not really subtle anymore

@ benji

Thanks very much!!
I can really use these

@ nellowrox: Thanks!

Well I'm giving this project a little twist in it.

A friend of mine has the ability to be around an Audi S6 when ever he wants, so I asked him if he could take pictures of the 5.2 V10..
Meaning...I'm basically building my own vision of an Audi RS8 with the engine capabilities of the RS6 avant (580bhp)

Don't worry, I'm still not going to give it jumbo jet body parts, but I am going to give it some extra cooling parts (like a subtle roof scoop following the body line)

I'm also experimenting a bit with the rims, but I really am in doubt of which I want to use.
And I'm also having trouble modeling the lights

you are doing a good job with this model. keepo on track buddy.

keep us updated.

[peacetaker]

little update

made the roof scoop for the V10

don't mind the back window and rear diffuser, they're just there to fill the empty places

If I were you, I would sort out the bumps and pinches on your model before continuing or it will get more difficult in the future.
