Niiiice!
Completely black packed (other than the calipers, wheel centre caps, grill badges and tail lights, but that's just being picky).
Now just needs some dark tint on the windows to complete the look.

Does this mean you got rid of the R?

Love it!!!

So, big question... engine performance-wise which do you prefer: the SVR or your previously VAP tuned R... and why?

I traded in the R for those that are wondering. I won't be able to do a comparison until I break in the SVR properly, but I can tell you that everything about the SVR is better as far as suspension, steering, shifting, weight transfer, grip, etc.

The only complaint I have so far is that under hard braking, the front end feels a bit twitchy, but I need to let the brakes bed in a bit before drawing conclusions as my car started with only 7 miles.

I would think the tires need to break in too. Looking forward to reading your comparison.

That too. But I've been told it may take a few hundred miles to wear off the molding compound.

One burnout will take care of the rears and a couple hundred yards of scrubbing (rapid zig-zagging) will take care of the fronts.
