i8 Render

Love the i8, but find it a bit limited in colours and surprisingly there has not been much tuning work to make it look sportier...

So, since I've been learning Photoshop, here's what I came up with:

Modifications:
- M3 GTS "Fire Orange" colour
- Lowered
- Wider tyres (F/R)
- Replaced OEM wheels with Ultra lightweight BBS RI-D
- All black areas are carbon fiber including front grills, side sills, front valances, black bonnet top vent, roof.
- Blue piping replaced with matte silver.

I think the final result looks pretty good :-)

Any suggestions for your ideal i8 (no body widening: my Photoshop skills are not yet good enough!)?

Cheers!

If this is done by you in Photoshop, I tip my hat - not to the design (except for rare occasions, I don't believe in second-guessing brilliant designers) - but to your photo editing skills.

Thanks! I've been drawing cars since I was a kid so I understand what you mean... I can only say that apart from some classics that a design is never final and one can always improve, or at least personalise what's out there... I've been learning Photoshop and it's amazing what it can do providing you have the patience... Cheers!
