The Blue Supra

Its been a while since this patricular build was completed, this is one very special Speedwells wide body Supra and every time we see a new picture of this beauty it sends us weak at the knees.

Its the little details on this build that really does set it apart, it took some time to contruct with all of those required details but they were well worth the time and effort, the rear diffuser looks spectaular in glossed carbon fibre which then tie in with the rear spoiler, front splitter and the VAD GT-RS carbon outer rims.

We have to thank Ground Nation for the incredible pictures from the show over in Holland that the Blue Supra attended. We have some incredible Speedwell Wide body Supra builds that we are seeing pop up all over the world, and its great to see some originality with how each person is putting their build together, they are all the same kit, but all look so different, which is great to see as each one is such a high quality build.

Porsche 991 R16 Street

Under the lock down restrictions the UK has had since mid-March we have been busy with our composite partners bringing some new parts to our ever growing Porsche carbon fibre range and it doesn’t get any better than the GT3R R16 wide body, and we are now offering all of the parts for this conversion.

As with any Porsche package there is always an option on the rear engine cover and race wing, as some customer prefer a wingless 911 whilst other prefer the racer look for the road, so what do you get in the options package.

Options for the R16

Front R16 Evo vented front boot lid, rear engine cover with ducktail, rear wing assembly with includes end plates, gurney and huge wing supports, carbon doors, carbon roof, flat bottom under floor, gear box floor, carbon door mirrors, exhaust, suspension, magnesium wheels, we also have a street engine cover we are working on that will be a little different to the norm.

As with all our GT3 street conversions we have coilover suspension specifically for the R16 build, with the GT3RR F1 wheel design in either forged aluminium, or forged magnesium, in 11x19 front and 13 or 14x20 rear.

With 2020 being a bit of a right off with some of the plans we made, it’s actually helped us bring the R16 street closer to reality, with our own UK build happening at the end of the year with an American build also on the cards, it is certainly a build that we are looking forward to see come to fruition

Diamond Cutting at Speedwells Refinishers

There are a few alloy wheel refurbishing companies in and around the Birmingham area, some good (ish), some not so good and some not even worth a mention, it’s a classic case of you get what you pay for in this particular field, we personally as a company recommend and use Speedwells Refinishers based Speedwell Road Birmingham, some of their competition state VAD only showing Speedwell loyalty because of our business links and the fact the two owners are good friends and although that is true VAD as a brand only work with the very best in their field, so if we are working closely with a company you can rest assured they are the best at what they do and Speedwells are no different to any other company we are associated with, quality means everything to our brand, and Speedwells share the same business ethics and values, if they didn't we wouldn't work with them.

Now we have that out of the way, let’s get down to the reason of this post as its pretty exciting news for not only Iby and his company, but also for the new as well as the huge reapeat in customer business that use his services week in week out.

When you take a wheel into Speedwells to get refinished, everything apart from the stripping of the old original paint is done in house, the diamond cutting was also a process that was outsourced, but in the run up to the festive period December 2019 that all changed with the install of a brand new diamond cutting machine.

Speedwells has expanded nicely over the last 10 years of business so adding the final piece of the jigsaw installing an in-house diamond cutting machine was a no brainer, it has been on the cards for a long time, but Iby was merely waiting for the right time as well as it making financial sense, with his aim for the start of 2020 to be completely self-contained, and with the powder coat paint line being a work of art, the diamond cutting has only improved on the high quality setup, with the Speedwells quality being better maintained, especially when you don’t have the need to outsource a service.

We are excited to see this part of the business grow for him as it’s a service we use a lot, and the quality of work that is coming out of the Speedwells HQ over the last few years is mind blowing, this is merely an enhancement on the current set up, he may well have competition but his work ethic and standards are the benchmark, he is definitely leading his field, everyone else is just playing … don’t believe us, hit him up and tell him VAD sent you, ...you will not be disappointed.
