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.

Porsche 991 R16 Evo Carbon Fibre Front Vented Hood

Basic R16 Aero Package

Front bumper, front splitter with full front floor, front bumper canards, front bumper grill, front fenders, fender vents, side sills, rear quarter panels, rear bumper with bumper grills, rear diffuser with strakes.

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.

14x20 GT3RR Magnesium and Carbon forged wheel

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


 

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.


 

Its been a while in the making but a long last we finally get to see the GT3RR F1M wheel design in all its glory for an up and coming build we are involved in.

We have supplied our full carbon fibre aero kit for our freind David Alvarez from Texas USA who over the last few months has been putting together a very special GTR, a full road going GTR GT3, with extra goodues like the full carbon and alcantara interior make over and a few other neat touches like our dry carbon roof and our LiteBlox carbon battery.

14X20 GT3RR F1M Magnesium Forged 3 piece Wheel


As with any build the wheels maketh the car and David has cut no corners in that department either, ordering our latest GT3RR Magnesium F1 wheel, 3 piece configuartion with a concave profile, and its a beauty.


Its not very often a wheel design stops us in our tracks, but this all new F1M design really is a stunner, David went with a matt black centre with Motorsport text and a carbon fibre overlaid outer rim in sizes 12x20 front and 14x20 rear that will house 325/30R20 & 345/30R20 front and rear respectively, its one build we just cant wait to see finished.


The GT3RR F1M is available in Forged Magnesium or Forged Aliminium in a range of sizes from 18" up to 22" in various widths and offsets catered for, offered with a huge range of finishes in 1, 2 or 3 piece configuration.
