Old & New Porsche 996 Slant Nose


Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get over to the SEMA show this year, due to commitment and the fact we have had a busy few months, also trying to get our own build over the finish line, we just didn't have the time to be away on a jolly, albeit we would of loved a break in sin city, next year we will be in attendance if all goes to plan.

One car we would of liked to of seen up close and personal was the new Porsche 996 slant nose conversion from our partners Old & New Japan, but thanks to companies like The Speedhunters, builds like this are never going to be hidden away, with some stunning photography from Mark Riccioni, this is the conversion in all of its glory.

Old and New Porsche 996 Slat Nose

This particular 996 was built by Jason from Rotiform and we have to say the build looks pretty special, we have been waiting on seeing a black slant nose since the Kyza released his amazing black render of the old & new 997 version, the Gold centred Rotiform LHR wheels just suit this build to perfection, and there is no denying Rotiform are leading the way at the moment with the old school wheel designs being modernised, the perfect wheel design for this old & new conversion.

There is a lot of love for this conversion simply down to the fact you get to update the 996 front lights, they are like Marmite, they are either liked or loathed, there is no in-between, personally we love the 996 with or without the lights, but the slant nose is something pretty special to look at.

The kit is available to order now and consists of the following parts, with lots of optional extras that can be purchased with the build.

The old & new Porsche 996 Slant Nose

Front bumper, front fenders, Removable front fender vents, side skirts, fuel cap, rear over fenders, engine cover and rear wing assembly, front lights with lens covers, front DRL's

We can supply the kit as it is or we can supply and fit with our UK partners Reflex Auto Design on th fit and finish, the kits can also be supplied through RAD in Northampton.

We also offer various suspension options for this conversion, if you want a airlift set up the boys at RAD can supply and fit, we also offer a full bespoke JRZ or Bilstein coilover set up as well as fully adjustable control arms and other suspension components as well as a full hybrid exhaust system, with a choice of 3 piece forged aluminium or super lightweight forged magnesium custom manufactured wheels, so if your looking for a drive in drive out conversion then get in touch with us and lets make your dreams come true.

Slant nose Porsche 997 Rothmans Livery Build, by Reflex Auto Design.


I think most people within the car community around the world will know all about the stunning Rothmans liveried Porsche 997 slant nose that was built in the UK by our good friends Reflex Auto Design, well the car has been sold and gone to its new owner, but we can still drool over the build and the talented Matt Clifford decided to film the complete build from start to finish.

It over seven minutes long, so grab yourselves a cuppa, get comfortable and press play, it’s that good that when you have finished you will want to watch it again.

The boys did a stunning job and it showcases what we already knew about this bunch of guys, is that they are extremely good at what they do, looks like our Z4 GT3 V8 is in good hands.

Enjoy…

Something old, something new...something different.

Coventry Motofest 2018


This past Sunday saw us head out to the Coventry Motofest with our buddies Iby and Taj from Speedwells Refinishers and Perfections Midland, its a show that seems to get bigger and bigger every year, with more o.e manufacturers joining the event as well as the tuning scene, with every marquee presented on individual stands around the streets of Coventry city centre, it was a great day with lots of beautiful cars on display, as well some cars hitting the track that had been made up from the main fly over and under pass roads, the noise was intoxicating.

Alcon Brake Stand, Coventry Motofest

The Alcon stand was the first stand that we were in awe of, sitting middle of the stand was Roger Clark Gobstopper 11, which is mind blowing up close, such an epic machine, just not as epic as the 920bhp RS200 of Pat Doran, we have seen this in various stages of build throughout the years, but this was the car of the show for us, epic is an understatement, its truly is breath taking up close, the details on every part of this car is very special, and another brute of a car running on the Alcon brakes, this company and its product are leading the way, our good friend Anthony Gaylard with him incredible Nissan GTR GT3 build that we are involved with also set up with the Alcon braking system.

Another car that sat on the Alcon Brake stand was the freshly built E30 M3, owner Phil Morris of Drift works and what a very special car, our good friend Craig Taylor of Dynotorque did the S65 V8 engine install and as you would expect it all looks factory, this car really is a bit special, as usual Driftworks have put together another amazing build, which is what we have come to expect from this crew.

Nissan GTR Stand, Coventry Motofest 2018

The Nissan GTR stand had a pretty spectacular line up, with a range of R32, R33 & R34 all present, the R32 stood out as it was an original wide body Evolution 111 factory car, imported from Veilside Japan and it was impeccable, as was the Midnight Purple R33 and beautifully prepared white R34.

We caught up with Matt Clifford from Reflex Design with his Rothmans OLD & NEW slant nose on display, and as always it was drawing the crowds down at Fargo Village, we will be back next year, but this time we will be armed with our own cars to display.
