Had my car just over a month now, very happy with it and my god does it fly. 0-62 well under four seconds and simply amazing handling.

Parts that some may question or take notice of are

Lamborghini Battleship grey gel coat
Anthracite pro race 1.2 with R888 sticky road slicks
Carbon Dash
Carbon front canards
Carbon rear arches
Super small racing lights in CF effect
Rear lights in cf effect
CNC paddle-shift system
Full blue light dash system
2003 5pw Yamaha r1 engine (roughly 172 bhp)
Car weighs around 460 kg (maybe more or less)
Carbon topped seats
Carbon Micron race can (like to flame and pop)
4-1 manifold
TRT Propshaft
3.62 Cosworth LSD
Back panel ignition - push button start














Give me a beep/or the wr if you see me about

Very nice that...love the colour.

I had a black one until a few months ago...sold it as i never got chance to use it.

Going to view my new toy this weekend, which should offer similar thrills wink

If you had told me I was to be looking at a pic of a "grey" 7-esq car I would have said that was a daft colour for that type of car. Hovever, seeing it in the pics shows how much of an A$$ I would have made of myself... that looks fab! Never seen one that colour before thumbup

You'll be getting the coffee beans wave from me if I see you but thats only due to jealousy! hehe

Lovely car you have there and something to be proud of. Must be an absolute hoot to drive!

I see you're based in Surrey so perhaps you should head over to the Thames Valley section and check out some of the runs on there. As it happens there will be a run on Sunday morning if you fancy taking it out for a blast!

glad you all like it.

cant stop driving it, my mates with a megabusa call my R1 the daily driver as i cant get out of it!

paddleshift is standard "locost" parts that cost about £300. still uses the standard yamaha R1 sequentual box.

glad you guys like it. Utter gamble on the colour but I knew it would pay off.

thats a great colour, very purposeful. Personally I would try to get rid of the all the stickers.
One thing that always bugged me is that the rear is so plain and square, like the designed couldnt be bothered.
The rest is great though.
