VAD Design has Relocated.

It’s been over 12 months in the making but the 1st of July 2024 has seen us move into our new premises were we will team up and start working side by side with two companies that have been part of what we have been doing over the last 12 months, so relocating our business from the hustle and bustle of Birmingham to the tranquillity of Market Drayton in Shropshire, rose hill to be a little more precise has been the best decision that we have made in the last decade for our business.

We have a couple of reasons for relocation to Shropshire, the ever growing costs to have a unit and a business in Birmingham as well as the decline in certain areas, plus the and the opportunity to have a 2000 SQFT unit next door to your engine builder and fabrication partner is too good of an opportunity to miss.

The plan is to have the showroom where we can display all of our work from cars, parts, engines in Unit C20 with C21 being where all of the Engine building and fabrication work will take place, what this means is we can now manufacture and build in-house and be self-contained, the move is exciting for all involved and will enable us as a collectable team to do what we love and that’s build GT race cars for the road.

LaFerrari Wheel Up Grade

We take very little notice to the statement “there are levels to this industry” as it mainly comes from people complementing their ego, we have no problem with people blowing their own trumpet as long as its in a dignified and classy and way, and when we talk of keeping it classy we only have to look at one of our wheel manufacturers Hyper Forged wheels Japan and their latest build project, Ferrari’s pinnacle the beautiful LaFerrari and this one is just absolutely sublime.

The La Ferrari is already stunning to look and to some it a pretty impossible task to enhance the look of this Italian thoroughbred, but not to Hyper Forged, they seem to take modifying these hyper cars in their stride, with this example being dressed in the all new HF LMC forged 3 piece wheel with Centre lock application in sizes and widths 10.5x20 front & 12.5x22 rear with concave profile, matt black finish to face and inner and outer rim halves with exposed hardware, wrapped in 285/25R20 & 335/25R22 Michelin tyres front and rear respectively, it certainly enhances this beauty with a race look and its one of if not the best converted La Ferrari we have seen to date.

For any details on this wheel build or any of the Hyper Forged Wheel range, get in touch with us for more details.

Our Mini flares have been such a massive success over the last few years, the growth and sales of the “R series flare (Gen 2) has been utterly mind blowing, so much so that it we decided to get Jiggy with the Gen 3 Mini and our all new “F” series Flare is gathering a lot of interest with lauch date looking at the end of March 2021 being the date we start shipping out the Gen 3 product, We didn't think for one minute these fibreglass replacement flares for the Mini brand would be as successful as they have been globally so decided the product needed its own stand-alone website and run as a separate entity within the VAD corporation

This month as well as launching the Gen 3 flares it will also see the Gen 3 F56 hatch demo vehicle being launched and its already starting to look pretty special in its metallic British Racing Green that has been completely de-chromed by the in-house crew 1st Choice Tints , coilover suspenions, whilst sitting on a set of 0.66 3SDM 18” Motorsport wheels finished in matt black, the design really does suit the build.

The flares for the UK market are being offered as supply and fitted product only just to protect the product as they have already had some replica issues, so offereing a fitting service should stop, Dent Craft Birmingham as Well as Mini Flares are the only places in the UK that you buy and have the product fitted, they both offer a wheel, tyre, suspension supply and fit option to, so well worth the discussion.

F56 Mini Cooper Flares

---

With any wide body or flare you are going to need a wider wheel and tyre set up, which is what you need for this Mini conversion, what makes this conversion more difficult in both the 4 stud R series chassis and the newer 5 stud F series chassis is the offset that is required if you don’t want a 3piece wheel or use any wheel spacers.

It’s been a bit of a journey trying to find a 1 Piece cast cost effective solution as 1 piece none forged 4 or 5 stud low offset wheels do not exist, we found a few designs in Japan Racing line up, but the fact we have to buy from other retailers as well as terrible stock levels on designs we chose and we had fitted yet couldn’t replace damaged wheels due to no stock and no dates for wheels we had fitted previously made us quickly retreat from that brand and quickly back to the drawing board, but luckily 2 forged came to the rescue with the ZF1 that is built as a 1 piece flow form light weight wheel, 9” width and is available in 17” & 18” with our bespoke offsets machined to suit, with other designs happening in the near future, we are only going to be offering a better line up.

Available in standard colours Matt Black, Anthracite, Silver, but also available from our exclusive Speedwells colour collection we have an abundance of colours to include some very bespoke options available on request, as well as the generic Race Gold, Race Bronze & Track White also available from the Mini Flares Colour line up

ZF1 9x17 > 9x18 // 4x100 & 5x112 Custom Offsets
