Currently building / moding my girlfriends M2.
2017, equipped with a full system from FI, performance pedals, performance steeringwheel in alcantara etc.

Project can be found on instagram under the name girldriven_m2 incase anyone would be interested in following up with the progress.

Few mods left to go. Waiting for new carbon mirriors, downpipe, black roof wrap, window & tail light tint, tyre-stickers and much more.
Will make sure to try to keep you guys updated.

P.S licenseplate is a nickname for Victoria. "Vickan's" in Swedish.

Love it. The wing and canards together look very aggressive. Needs 18” wheels and fat track tyres to complete the look !

Great build, love it!

[WedgeSalad]

If I had to guess, I'd say her name is Victoria.

[maul3d]

Is her last name secret?

Looks great! Can you please provide a list of all of the parts on it?

I second that.

I think the kitting looks really good.

As for the parts, she bought most of it off Ebay. Not a complete kit itself as she didn't like everything together in most kits, so she just went for random stuff she liked the most and put it together.
Well I put it together for her, but she decided what to get and ordered it haha.

I see what you did there

Random off ebay, fitment was 50/50 - I'd actually recommend to go for others than the one we installed to be honest. You're better off not knowing the sellers name.



And to the rest of you, thanks for the feedback. She appreciate it a lot and so do I.

I'll update once the car is finnished.
Carbon mirrors arrived in the mail today and the car is booked to have the roof wrapped later today.

Love it. LBB is a little confusing to me. Looks stunning in some photos and just plain in others. Love the European plates. So much nicer than what we have in the States. Where are people mounting them in the US? Tow hook? I really should’ve bought this car before the switch to Competition model only. Outside of Boston there’s really nowhere you can use the power without being a danger to yourself and everyone around you, except of course, on the local tracks.

Sadly you're forced to have the frontplate installed at all times. Kind of kills the look a little, but that's the law. Stupid to take risks. You get stopped at all times in Sweden, atleast where we live.

A friend helped us take some photos of the car yesterday.
Roof wrap is done + new mirrors + tint on taillights.

Bonus of my r8 with photoshopped plate to make it more "his and hers"

Do you have a running list of eBay pieces that we can trawl over?

Just missed a set of AutoID mirror caps on eBay that would have done nicely, but that's how it goes some times.

My plan is for:

1. Mirror Caps,
2. front splitter or bumper ends,
3. diffuser,
4. spoiler,
5. sideskirt fins

Not sure I could do the larger high-level wing.
I'm also trying to see whether any of the non-standard vendors are worth a go, so the likes of some eBay / AliExpress options.

i went with yomato carbon pieces instead of name brand or knockoffs. middle of road pricing and everything looks and fits amazing. i have their front grills, side grills, mirror caps, side skirts, and rear diffuser.

There might be cheaper options, she's asleep atm. I'll try my best for you guys. But this is mostly the same stuff as she bought, just from other vendors. Everything can be found on aliexpress by searching M2 carbon basicly.
We recived fake carbon side mirriors, which will be replaced within a short future. She was tirered when ordering and missed the small detailed "not original carbon" even tho the title said "Real carbon side mirror caps" or w/e.

(Her vendor allowed here to choose between 3 diffrent wings. This one included the one she got already tho)
And we didn't install the plates on the side of the diffusor. Didn't like the look aof them as they're not connected to the car. There's a gap between the carbon and the bumper. Everyone got diffrent taste, that was just her call.
