Its only been finished a few weeks back and already the features are coming in thick and fast, and is great to see our friends over at Tony & Carmen from Superfly-Autos jump on this car and add their usual spice of lovely pictures, and of course great reading.

The car pictures up wonderfully and the livery is stunning, there isn't many slant nose Porsche 997 in the world at the moment, but what we can say is this has to be up there as one of the best so far, its so difficult to stand out within the car scene, but the guys at Reflex Auto Design have not only managed to pull it off, but pull it off in style.

It’s been a busy couple of months at VAD, we are working with some great people and great companies, and the good news is it doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon, we have so much in the pipeline, it really is turning into an exciting year, we are pleased we took the decision to make collaborating a focus point for 2018, as it has attracted some real quality people & outlets to our brand. The first collaboration to break cover this year was our good friends Reflex Auto Design Daventry who purchased our Old & New slate nose wide body aero kit for their Porsche 997 Carrera C2, and we must say they did an amazing job, we knew the livery was happening as we were privy to the original concept, draw up by the hugely talented Khyzyl Saleem, AKA the KYZA and the concept to reality has gone down a storm, if you need to see the RAD boys credentials for their paint gun skills, they get up close and personal to this stunning new edition, its mind blowing.

After a Week of getting our breath back, we heard from Bryce who was meeting Brandon from Woyshnis Media was heading to Colorado to capture his wide body GTR that had just been completed, and to say he produced the goods is a bit of an understatement, we will be doing a blog post of Bryce’s completed Ichiban build during the week with Brandon dropping the video in the coming weeks… this is one epic build that Brandon has pictured up to perfection.

Another exciting collaboration that happening and about to break cover is our good friend Iby from Speedwells Refinishing, and his awe inspiring, game changing Porsche 997 BI-Turbo, that he has fitted with our carbon fibre wide body R aero kit, we have be involved with this build from scratch, as we are local and he’s a close friend, Iby is a master class, nothing fazes him and he has methodically put this car together, thinking about every detail, as real master class, if you think his Toyota Supra builds were good, wait till you see this creation, its mind numbingly good, he is a perfectionist and I'm extremely proud of him with what he has created, this really is the pinnacle when it comes to Porsche 997 builds, as you will all discover when this car breaks cover, all being well, at the end of this month.

Another build that is happening is with the talented APAC Auto crew over in Maryland USA, Derrick Nowell the owner is putting the VAD GT1 wide body aero on to his own personal Nissan GTR, which we have discussed in an earlier post, you can follow this particular build on the APAC Facebook as well as this blog as the build progresses, with what Derrick has shared with us so fare we can see why they have such and unbelievable reputation for building cars, their skill set is second to none.

So what else in in the pipeline, we have a nice little build starting with the MSL Parts shop, the guys are good friends with Iby, and he got us involved with their 964 wide body build, which could be wearing our 3.8 RSR aero and old school super wide 18” Race style Centerlock forge wheels. We also have a couple of GTR Ichiban Builds happening in California, David Haagsma is giving his SP Engineering built time attack GTR a little make over, so this is one build we are very much looking forward to following.

With all this going on we still have our own project to finish, but as with all builds like ours, it takes time and money, we have had a few issues down on the way and we have decided to move the car to Reflex Auto Design so they can get stuck in to finishing and painting.

We feel extremely privileged to be working in some capacity with all these people / companies who are creating pure brilliance with our parts, stay tuned for news as all these builds drop.

Reflex Auto Design, Open Day 25th March 2018, Old & New Porsche 997 Slant Nose Launch

Sunday the 25th of March is a day that will be stored in our memory banks for a long time, it was the day that the very first Old & New Porsche 997 slant nose was launched to the world and it didn't disappoint, we already new the colour scheme and the livery as we had been privy to the render that was produce by the hugely talented KYZA for the RAD team, and although that render got the fires burning, the unveiling of the real thing just blew us away.

The boys at RAD have done an wonderful job, the car is sublime in the flesh, the fit and finish is as we have come to expect from them all, and the fact Jonny had painted on the stripe livery is a testament to his skill set as a painter, we have been saying for a long time with a paint gun in hand, Jonny is one of the best in the country, the stickers just dotted the i's and crossed the t's to the Rothmans livery, and completes the look, especially with the Gold Rotiform mesh design, its a real homage to the old Porsche race cars, especially the 962 & 959 models.

The open day in general went down a storm, with a great turn out of cars and models from most marquees. one particular vehicle which stood out was the Andi Riley's T5 Transporter, fitted with an RS4 V8, with a couple of turbos and full Quattro running gear, we have read a lot about this particular T5, so it was great to see it up close and personal, we love the fact it looks like a factory install, a real credit to Andi, especially as the interior is all kitted out, with a nice sound system, it must be a great place to sit.

A with any of these builds they aren't possible without the help of others, and RAD have teamed up with some real quality companies to make sure this build stands the test of time, a huge thanks you firstly to the Guys at OLD & NEW for entrusting us to look after their brand for the European market, as soon as we met Shuichi Nakagawa at the 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon on our visit with our friend Iby from Speedwells, we knew it would be a great partnership, as we have been keen to work with each other.

A big shout out to all the companies that have been involved in this build, Rotiform, Air Lift Company, Toyo Tyres, Forged Motorsport, Recaro -UK, Kenwood Uk, EBC Brakes, EMP Performance, Pancross and of course ourselves. We would personally like to thank the Reflex boys, Jonny, Matt, Christian Leggett, Matt Clifford and the rest of the team for the collaboration, we have known them a long time and we are extremely happy to be associated with this team of craftsmen, this is just the start of our great partnership, we look forward to seeing our BMW GT3 painted in the coming weeks.
