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.

Porsche 996 Wide Body

We blogged about this build when it was first launched and apart from the RSR there are very few aero kits around for the Porsche 996 Carrera 2 chassis, Dom the owner of Miles Works Automotive decided he would change that and what a breath of fresh air its turned out to be, the Purists wouldn’t agree but Dom really doesn’t care and neither do we, as this is a build like no other and at over 7 feet wide at the business end this is a serious looking wide body 996 Porsche.

Over the months we have seen the changes being added month after month as the options for this kit expand, so what is new and what is included in the package, what we can say is we adore the optional extra GT race rear wing, it’s a fantastic £2000 addition and one we personally think that this conversion not on needs, it demands it.

The main body has stayed true to form, the chiselled purposeful front bumper is now finished off with the front splitter and soon to be added front race canards, which will finish off the front end, the front flares really do house some impressive width too in the form of 10x19 with a negative -08, clothed with 275/30R19 front tyres amazed they manage to contain the super aggressive offset, we love flow of the side skirt and the way they tie the wide front flares into the super aggressive even wider rear flares, yet it all looks so OEM race car, with the rear flares housing a 14x19 width wheel with a crazy negative -70 offset, they are smothered with 345/30R19, we thought our 997 R13 was wide but it has nothing on this 996 and the best bit is its all tastefully done, its super wide but nothing looks out of place, it just works and looks like the Porsche factory have built it to go racing at Lemans.

So now this stunning design is complete, Dom has been adding to the optional extras list and he now has 3 various rear wing assemblies, our personal favourite is the 993 GT2 evo inspired style set up with the super high blade that screams race car, just seems to suit the portions of the car really well and would be our choice when choosing from the options list.


 

BMW (e89) Z4 GT3 GEN-2 Street

The Gen 1 BMW Z4 GT3 has been a very successful programme for us, so it seemed like a no brainer to introduce the Gen 2 which is a more aggressive looking conversion compared to the conversion it superseded, with lots of customers asking us what is different about the two conversions, so here is a little run down of the differences between them that most people do not see.

The first major change is up the front end with the front bonnet, it goes from two aerocatches to 3 and where the Gen 1 front flare cuts off aggressively exposing the rear part of the front tyre, the Gen 2 front flare blends back into the rear area of the hood, it’s also slightly wider than the Gen 1 set up, the Gen 2 is a smoother look, more aero dynamic, it’s also a wider to house the 12x18 front race wheel and 315/680R18 slick race tyre.

Another detail change was the side skirts, the gen 2 has the more aggressive sweep and a larger opening for rear brake cooling, it also has a neat little canard to aid with air flow and downforce, it’s a small detail but extremely effective, these sills feed into and make up part of the rear flare which is so much wider than the original Gen 1 set up, it just looks so much better at the rear from any angle, it’s such a muscular look which we prefer.

So what makes our conversion so different to the rest, well for starters we are the only company to offer the complete front and rear bumper grill sets, as well as grills for the hood vents we also offer the authentic Gen 2 rear wing assembly with the dual blades, end caps, gurney, supports with quick release fixings.
