Hmmm, bugger, thought we had a good new walky but apparently not?! Thanx for the heads up...
B.T.W, what are walky kits roughly worth these days?

It's more than a scoop and a charger, and they are built by Walkinshaw Performance.
They are nice but they hardly carry on the Walkinshaw name, even if they do wear factory 19in Simmons FRs in charcoal...

That's just there demo car, you can't buy them like that. They sell aftermarket parts, so if you tick all the boxes then I guess you can get one like their demo car. You can also just get the bonnet scoop on a Berlina if you want

the man is correct
theyre not factory built by walkinshaw, they just sell aftermarket upgrades for clubbys

Looks pretty good considering its just an R8 with a scoop and some wheels.. I know I'll prob get thrashed for this but I really dont care? VL Walkingshaws look gay IMO, ugliest bodykits ever.
