For $120k, might as well go for the R8 instead of the tuned TT...

Heard that the body kit alone with paint and installation is only HK$35,000, which is like US$4,500. But labor in the aftermarket parts industry in HK is 1/8 of the price compare to the states...

Just for comparison, a FWD TT 2.0T is around HK$450K in HK I think, and the R8 is HK$2M. (US$1 = HK$7.8) That's huge difference

All of the looks and power, none of the mid-engine handling. No thanks.
