Wide Body R35 GTR


Its been a while since we have had any news on this amazing looking GTR, but looking at the latest set of pictures, its been worth the wait. The owner Ben of BPA Body shop has been extremely busy, so his personal pride and joy unfortunately had to take a back seat, something we can relate to with our own build, when you are a small business you have to prioritise, and your own personal get put together as and when.

We have been waiting so long for someone to build a white GTR with our wide body and Ben didn't disappoint, its breath taking finish is a credit to his craft, its impeccable, and he has a great eye for attention to detail, with the Nismo 2015 red pinstripe being added to the bottom half of the kit, along with a carbon bonnet with exposed carbon vents, the black roof and black diffuser, splitter and side skirts, he really did hit the sweet spot on the overall look of the car, some people don’t seem to like the black stripe in between the rear lights, but we do, its different and its nice to see someone thinking outside of the usual GTR box.

The engine is heavily modified, albeit we have no idea what changes have been made, all we know is its had certain tuned modifications, so it should be plenty quick enough for most peoples speed needs.

Its all be finished off with some gloss black VAD CR EVO in 12x21 front and 13x21 rear, wrapped in 355/25R21 Pirelli Rubber.

We said when this car was started to be constructed that it was going to turn out pretty special, and it really hasn't disappointed, it’s a credit to Ben and his team, and were extremly please there is yet another VAD wide body GTR on UK roads.

VAD CR EVO, Enhances the Range Rover Autobiography, to Perfection.


Our VAD CR-EVO wheel has gone from strength to strength, with no signs of sales or demand slowing down any time soon, launched the midway through 2013, we have seen it being requested and produced in many sizes and applications, and until recently it seems the 22” size was a new request, which took us by surprise at VAD, as we have seen 19” 20” and 21” sizes regularly being produced and seem to have been the most popular requests, so it was refreshing to see this set being built for an all new 2017 Range Rover Vogue, Autobiography, for our South African partners Scribante Racing.

First up was the aero styling, our client wanted something a little different to a standard RR with a set of wheels, we toyed with the idea of the Lumma wide body aero pack, but there seems to be so many around, as it seems to be the most popular.

The beautiful Startech aero kit was the aero pack of choice, and it really has transformed the look of the Vogue model, it’s a very subtle but great looking kit, and extremely pleasing to the eye, the led front lights and vented rear bumper add to the finesse these panels give to such a huge vehicle, kudos to the Startech designers, you really did design a gem.

Next up was wheel design, and we had already seen how nice the 6 spoke CR-EVO wheel looked in 21” on the all new Range Rover sport, but for this model and conversion we had to run it on our 22” set up, 24” was considered, but was quickly dismissed, so 10.5 inch widths with a specification 2 concave profile, with the complete wheel painted in matte black including the inner barrel, with exposed brushed hardware, with the finishing touches, fitting a set of adjustable lowering links, which has enhanced the overall look to perfection.

For more details on this aero and wheel upgrade, email the sales team, who will be more than happy to assist.

Sirius Automotive 818


We have been working on a bit of a top secret project over the last few months, with a company called Sirius Automotive, just waiting for the time we can discuss their up and coming pocket rocket, and we are pleased to be given the green light, and boy oh boy does this little box of joy tick every box, what we love about this car the most apart from the amazing handling and speed, is the fact it comes in so many different configurations, it's beautiful from every viewing point, the boys at the factory stateside have done an amazing job.

818 Coupe

The coupe is pure win to look at, its drop dead gorgeous to look at, now the best bit, you can have the coupe, with a removeable hard top option, yep we know its cool, you get the best of both worlds, and it looks just as gorgeous without the roof, then they offer a full soft top version, and if thats not wet your appetite enough they have the race- r, a full blown track warrior, good lord, where would you start, ... we just want them all.

The spec list is mind blowing, you really can build the car to exactly how you want it, the list is huge, the base engines are from the Subaru, in the form of the glorious boxer 2ltr engine or you can spec it up to the 2.5ltr, Sirius inform us the 2ltr is the most popular, they can also be tuned by their engine partners, but if you Are looking for something just a little bit special, how about a electric powered version, as you will see in their online video collection, it's a pretty phenomenal piece of kit, we can just imagine that beautiful coupe, with the removable roof with Tesla performance and power ...oh yes please.

Sirius Automotive 818 Coupe

as with any new built car, you get the option to finish the exterior and interior to your own specification, you want leather, no problem, or alcantara with the carbon touch, they offer every bespoke option, they will also make you car options for the exterior too, with the black weave being offered for the front splitter, side splitters, racer mirrors, carbon bonnet, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, you want a one off carbon body, these boys could make it happen.

We are happy to report the European cars will all wear the Enkei Japan lightweight road wheels, measuring 7.5x17 front (with an 8x18 front option) and 8.5x18 rear, colour choice is vast, and the quality of the Enkei name speaks volumes, adds a touch of Ichiban to the brand name.

We are looking forward to working with Sirius for the foreseeable future, and we wish them well in their quest to make, not only a high quality vehicle, but a fast, reliable, and all this with beauty in depth, that will snap necks wherever you take it, with the added bonus that this car has been honed on the track, but now you have the difficult choice ...which one.

we are updating our website with some new products over the next few days, as well as updating and adding our new partners page, we would be where we are today without the help and assistance of these amazing companies and people we work with, keep an eye on the list as we add more to our partner list of people we not only work with, but are happy to call our extended family, as they say “Teamwork makes the dream work”.

check out the all new Partners page, we will update the page on a weekly basis
