Sorry all i had was my Cell Phone

Went in for an oil change and next to my lift was a beast resting and waiting to have the front carbon fiber lip change due to a 1" scratch at the bottom . The cost easily over $10k WOW

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!

Good lord. Changing a $10K part because of a single small scratch? And on the front spoiler lip at that. Even if I were rich enough to not care, I still don't think I'd do that.

Seriously, though, those are great pictures. Not many chances to see for real the underside paneling on these things! Pretty amazing.

It's kind of a shame, though -- seems like the only time you see these outside the showroom is in the repair center. It's like they don't exist anywhere else.

Sh*t, I'd just take a black and a gray permanent marker to it and pocket the friggin ten g's. Anyway, the bottom's gonna get scratched up the first time the poser takes it to the track and spins it.

There are no plates on it. Maybe it's a showroom car that caught the scratch on a demo drive.

If that were the case I wouldn't want to be that guy who brings it back that way. Just trying to imagine the guy and the salesman's face when they hear the dreaded spoiler scrape sound.

I actually saw one parked outside a nightclub once. I guess I'm special.

I guess in my country I'll never see SLR, maybe after 20 years when the price will be low, but it seems that it's price will be high always
