I agree. I am just a bit tetchy when I hear grandpa word. 
P.S. Actually I think that there is not such thing as 2 ton sports car. Including even Bugatti Veyron.

Love the custom look. Appreciate any owner who takes the time/spends funds on mods. Hard to admire a rear wing spoiler on a corolla lol but I always give a thumbs up

Very nice. I'd like to see a close-up of the grille.
Did you have the chrome strips on the grille removed before you painted it?
Diy you paint it or have someone else do it?
How difficult was it to remove and reinstall the grille?

Sorry mate, but I'm not sure. It's your car, your choice, and what you want, but it looks like an S8 'replica' to me, like a knock off. PLEASE don't powder coat the mirrors to match the wheels, the aluminium colour is kind of the point of the mirrors....
Not my thing, but not my car. Enjoy!

p.s. Does it need lowering a tad?

I agree with k9cop , I wouldn't want it to look like something it's not. It's bad *** just being an a8. But love the customization in general and love the blacked out look. Close to what I went for with mine. There are no mods with mine however I am looking to either powder coat the exhaust or get black tips. Love the Porsche black exhaust I've seen

I disagree w/ the other two...that grille is infinitely superior to the stock grille...no sane person would think equate changing the grille means that the car looks like an S8 knockoff or that you're a poser...besides, most people who see it wouldn't know it's not a stock grill unless they are audi-philes...
the car looks much better with that grille which is why the previous owner made the swap...

Hmm, interesting. I think you may have understood me. Maybe I should have said it slower.
An interesting mix of opinion and fact. I was talking about the white S8, not the black car with the Pepboys (?) mesh grille on it.
White S8 - Painted grille, badges and 'wrong' colour wheels? Makes it look 'inaccurate' in my opinion, but my opinion is irrelevant, it's the owner who has to like the car.
'No sane person'? Not sure you've got the minerals to imply that sonny.
