Just got a Born VZ First Edition a month ago - and making it our own.

So far;

- Wrapped 3M Satin Dark Grey and gloss black
- Gtechniq halo coating
- Light tint to front windows
- Lowered on Racingline springs

Plans;
- BBS CI-R wheels
- CSR splitter
- Assign private plate
- Blackvue dashcams

N.B. had an odd issue with my first attempt at lowering - the H&R springs didn’t lower the car at all! (Yes - definitely the right part number). Autodoc have said they’ll process a warranty claim and cover the labour to swap them so let’s see. I’ve attached a pic. Be warned!

Back in November, a BMW 5-series ran into the back of my S8+ slightly damaging the rear bumper and (more significantly) cracking the carbon trim at the bottom.

The repair was delayed because the driver was visiting from Germany and as soon as there was some question whether he was insured or not, the claim’s handling company for my insurer (Admiral) wouldn’t touch it.

It was further delayed because that carbon part was hard to get hold of - took weeks to arrive and then the first one arrived damaged!

Finally got it fixed at my bodyshop of choice, on the other driver’s insurance. Very happy with the work done by SL Restorations in Crawley - as ever. As well as the paintwork, they re-coated the rear bumper (gtechniq ceramic coating) and applied a PPF luggage strip.
