The Immaculate Speedwell's Wide Body Supra.

We have been involved with the Speedwells wide body Supra programme for some time now, and it’s been selling well on a global scale which is fantastic for the brand and the conversion, but what gets us really excited is a home grown build and we have two beauties both coming to the end of the process, this particular post is all about the beautiful Supra that our good friend Sean Reid has put together, and this is one that we have simply fell in love with, the metal up close and personal this car is simply breathtaking.

The car isn’t 100% complete, but for the last few months we have been pushing Sean to get the bodywork finished so at least we could shoot the car, and it just goes to show if you give someone enough ear ache, things get done because the Supra was prepared and finished last week ready for our photoshoot, it still need some interior finishing, along with some tuning parts for the engine side of the conversion, but the body work is absolute perfect.

We have seen pictures of Seans car in the build process, but this is the very first time we have actually got to see the car in the flesh and the colour is just beautiful, one of our favourites so far for the Speedwells conversion, the Porsche slate grey suits this car and the lines to perfection and its great to see a new colour on a speedwells widebody Supra.

The chosen location is in Hall Green Birmingham, which is pretty local to the Speedwells HQ, a location we had been discussing over the past couple of weeks with Iby, as he wants to shoot the Porsche 997R at this very location, so we couldn’t resist talking the Supra there, as you can see from the shoot the location turned out perfect.

Sean has so many beautiful details on this Supra with more on the way, we particularly like the halo front and rear light set up, along with the tinted front lenses, and as we said previously the Porsche slate grey colour is an absolute inspired choice, it suits the lines of the wider supra to perfection, its definitely one of our personal favourites and althugh its not the first time this colour has been used on a Supra build but it’s a first for this conversion.

We maybe a little bias but the wheel choice is also on point, it’s our own brand that adorns this build, you just cannot go wrong with a mesh style design, our Forged VM1 maybe some 7 years old now, but its still a beauty and Sean had made his mind up after seeing our old 997 RSR build back in 2013 that this was the wheel he just had to have, with 10.5x19 > 275/30R19 on the front and 13x19>315/30r19 on the rear, which fill the fenders to the maximum, finish in gloss black and matt black contrast to the centre and the inner and outer rims, finished off with polished hardware.

This is one supra we will revisit after the interior and engine upgrades have been completed, as this is one car that deserves all the attention its going to get, for now we are just going to drool over the pictures of this beauty.

Speedwells Wide Body Supra Builds

Our Speedwells Wide Body Supra aero kit has reached all new heights over the last 6 months, with 5 builds happening at the moment in various parts of the world.

There are a couple that we can’t wait to see finished, one because it sees another Speedwells come to life and two we love to see the ideas that the owner bring to the build table, for example, Jason who is building one in Florida is taking this build to a whole new level, his plans are mind blowing, you only have to see his previous build in the form of a Veilside Fortune Mazda RX7, its one of the best examples I have seen to date, so we are pretty excited by this particular build, then we have Sean Reids build that is about to launch and its one of the best colours we have seen on a speedwell build, Porsche Slate grey which is very similar to Audi Nardo grey, it looks stunning and its one we cannot wait to take on a photoshoot, Sean’s along with the white build that is happening with Nizam from Newcastle are two builds that we are really excited to see.

Another one of the builds that has really caught our attention is one that’s happening in Denmark by Thomas Larsen, who took delivery of the kit back in October 2018, and he has been slowly building his Supra under the radar, but he has been slowly releasing pictures of his build in process and we are extremly impressed with the attention to detail, thomas always said he was going to put his own spin on the build, which is what we like to see, Thomas wants oem levels of quality which is a tall order for a GRP aero kit, but we do like his optimisum.

The kit was never supposed to be a mass produced, Iby built this kit originally just for himself, as he was simply building what he couldn’t buy, but that is also a hindrance because what do you do if you damage a part and you can’t physically replace it, so in his spare time over a period of months Iby produce his own moulds, so if the unfortunate ever happened he could make a new part., so with the news hitting the Supra airwaves that he had moulds, it didn’t take long for Supra customers enquiring if they could have their very own Speedwells wide body, those requests only intensified when iby built his second Supra … the black beauty.

We love them all, they all have their own unique qualities, Jan from Next Level Automotive knocked his build right out the park, we are so impressed, not just with the build but the fit and finish, the thought of upping that level of quality is insane, but we mean that in the nicest way, this build is a credit to Thomas and its one we will be extremely proud of, as we are for every build that hits the street

When I personally think how far this conversion has come, I get goose bumps, because I know the levels of time, money and effort that iby has put in to this marquee, he is known so well around the Supra Scene, the builder of one of the finest Supra’s the world has seen, I never thought his Red Supra would be topped, but we have some pretty amazing customers working on these builds that are striving to have the very best Speedwells that you can put together … and we have some serious contenders of the very best Speedwell Supra’s to hit the scene.
