S8 in From Paris With Love
Saw a trailer of a rubbish looking film tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
It had a car chase featuring a nice D3 S8 so may be worth recording.

Was that RPG a factory option? I want one!
Does our sponsor have any on the shelves?

Why are they keep painting the fog grills on these cars in movies??
Remember 3 days to kill with Costner? Same thing. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8327 Are these are just a quick spray jobs after multiple takes and damaging the car each time ?? Also I doubt this is S8 and front sits way too high especially at this speed.

Probably jacked up/stiffened suspension for stunt work.
I know some of the camera cars g&h use over here on sets have beefed up suspension to cope with the extra weight of rigging and cameras

I happened to catch that exact scene when I was channel-hopping last night. Rather silly.
Didn't bother watching the rest, especially as it was fairly near the end.

Defo a 4.2 petrol
Standard headlining, as mention no boot lid or silver mirrors, twin pipes instead of quads, no S8 badge on the grill, no carbon trim etc. I didn't like the movie personally, but it wasn't the worst I've seen. A8 made it up for it (that's why probably director used this car because he knew script wasn't that good )
