What ebay seller did you get your lights from? Getting ready to order but I want to avoid the light out error.

Sorry guys, just picked up on the new posts....
No, from the factory, as far as I know, the '8s never had any 'S' nor 'R' badges... but because I'd put 'R8' rims on it, I just thought I'd have a bit of fun with the badging (see 'painting hubs' thread too). Lowered, black, shiny, and on 20's, she looks pretty good for a 7 year old, 145k mile car...
As for sending 'Rose' flowers, she didn't leave a note, but was right there when I came out of the shop to find her Buick embedded in the rear of the '8.
She was 82 for heavens sake! Apart from wanting to insert her Buick up the chute of her DH son that turned up (known hence forth as 'settle down Steven' after she scolded him in front of me and the trooper that turned up), she was sweet. Could have been any of our mothers who made a mistake..
I've ordered 'proper' 'R8' badges for the rear of mine (correct script), so, dropping the '8' from that new badge, I may just put it on there as 'A8R' or just swap the script 'R' in for the one with the black square on there now. Constant amusement at the consternation of the 'badge gurus' at the breakfast club....
I like the fact it looks vaguely factory-ish, so people don't look too hard...
My rear spoiler was a $29 Ebay job... came painted...

The Sport models don't have any S, nor R, nor SLine badges... Personally, I think they should've though.
My entire car is debaged but I'm thinking I'll introduce an SLine badge on the fenders to tie in with the fact that she is a Sport.
Oh, and KC, I love that boot lip!! Where do you source this from??
Just bought VAG, and now with lips and lights tempting me, I'll be broke in no time!

Haha yeah it's me and I have no idea what I was doing. Probably explaining something.
I paid $1000 for em. Got a crazy good deal because a friend had extras somehow.
