New Roof spoiler painted & fitted by me, well chuffed :w00t:

and of course a new graphic (re-amenyia from Japan)

dimis Here mate, look how fast your car can be:

Dimis, Now that sounds good. With the RX8 you can rev really high & the trick is to rev till the car (rev counter) beeps that can be as high as 8500 revs, have managed to do this a few times, reaching 60mph plus in second.

Like the roof spoiler mate, not too big or too small, and gives a nice tidy look to the rear end :thumbup1: (not that it was untidy to start with Big Grin)
Good job mate :thumbup:
