Sirius Automotive 818

We have been working on a bit of a top secret project over the last few months, with a company called Sirius Automotive, just waiting for the time we can discuss their up and coming pocket rocket, and we are pleased to be given the green light, and boy oh boy does this little box of joy tick every box, what we love about this car the most apart from the amazing handling and speed, is the fact it comes in so many different configurations, it's beautiful from every viewing point, the boys at the factory stateside have done an amazing job.

The coupe is pure win to look at, its drop dead gorgeous to look at, now the best bit, you can have the coupe, with a removeable hard top option, yep we know its cool, you get the best of both worlds, and it looks just as gorgeous without the roof, then they offer a full soft top version, and if thats not wet your appetite enough they have the race- r, a full blown track warrior, good lord, where would you start, ... we just want them all.

The spec list is mind blowing, you really can build the car to exactly how you want it, the list is huge, the base engines are from the Subaru, in the form of the glorious boxer 2ltr engine or you can spec it up to the 2.5ltr, Sirius inform us the 2ltr is the most popular, they can also be tuned by their engine partners, but if you Are looking for something just a little bit special, how about a electric powered version, as you will see in their online video collection, it's a pretty phenomenal piece of kit, we can just imagine that beautiful coupe, with the removable roof with Tesla performance and power ...oh yes please.

as with any new built car, you get the option to finish the exterior and interior to your own specification, you want leather, no problem, or alcantara with the carbon touch, they offer every bespoke option, they will also make you car options for the exterior too, with the black weave being offered for the front splitter, side splitters, racer mirrors, carbon bonnet, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, you want a one off carbon body, these boys could make it happen.

We are happy to report the European cars will all wear the Enkei Japan lightweight road wheels, measuring 7.5x17 front (with an 8x18 front option) and 8.5x18 rear, colour choice is vast, and the quality of the Enkei name speaks volumes, adds a touch of Ichiban to the brand name.

We are looking forward to working with Sirius for the foreseeable future, and we wish them well in their quest to make, not only a high quality vehicle, but a fast, reliable, and all this with beauty in depth, that will snap necks wherever you take it, with the added bonus that this car has been honed on the track, but now you have the difficult choice ...which one.

Speedwells, The Alloy Wheel Refinishers

If you’re from the west midlands and into the car scene, then you would of heard the name speedwells, one because he drives a very famous Red 800+ bhp widebody supra, and two because they are one of, if not the finest wheel refinishers this country has to offer, how do we know this, well we have been in the wheel industry for over 20 years, and we have used most companies that are supposed to specialise in the refinishing business, but have never been 100% happy with the finished product and neither have our customers, and as there seems to be a refinisher opening up weekly, we thought it was time to educate and help people with a great option on where to take your alloys for that high quality finish.

We have already covered the supra on many occasions in our blog, if you want a recap hit the link and read up on the finest home grown Supra this country has ever produced.

Read all about this beauty from our previous blog post.

His build shows not only his meticulous attention to detail, but also his extremely high quality standards, this standard is mirrored within his refinishing work, but you don’t have to take our word for it, the trophy haul from many shows across the country show that, to win the collection of trophies Iby has stashed away, it has had to be the best, and his wheel refinishing and workmanship qualities are no different.

Wheel refinishers, there are many around the country, as a wheel wholesaler / retailer we have possibly used them all, and what we can say is none of them come close to what Speedwells can do with a wheel, the added bonus is he can refinish or refurbish any wheel, own a 3 piece wheel and struggling to get it refinished properly like we have done so many times in the past, well not only does he specialises in the 1 piece wheel, but the 2 and 3 piece wheel too, no matter what the wheel, he will return to o.e. m quality standards, if not better.

There aren’t many people within the wheel refinishing industry that want to get involved with a 3 piece wheel, as its time consuming and not as easy as stripping a 1 piece, you have to be pretty meticulous and know what you are doing, and this is where Speedwells are a cut above the rest, he has 3 piece wheels on every car he owns, so he understands how they are put together, and what you have to do to repair or refinish, he is the only company we would let anywhere near our refinishing , and he is the exclusive VAD refinisher for all of our used wheels, we couldn’t recommend his workmanship and quality standards enough.

So if you have a 1, 2 or 3 piece wheels, that need bringing back to life, and you want a high quality job, then look no further, tell them VAD sent you, we can assure you of one thing, you will be happy you did.

Nissan GTR Wide Body

Its been a while since we have blogged about the BPA Body shop VADZilla GTR build, as Ben has been extremely busy with his work load, so his personal project got side line, unfortunately it happens, we have had exactly the same problem this year with our own Z4 GT3 V8 project, customers cars and work take preference over personal builds, It’s just the nature of the business, but we are happy to report Ben has found some spare time and put a good few days into getting the car finish, well certainly when it comes to the paint.

Its been a wish to see this conversion finished in white, we must admit we were hoping to see the hood painted white too, but with a carbon hood it’s a difficult choice for some, personally we aren’t the exposed carbon fans, its still carbon under the paint and exposed carbon has been done to death, but Bens choice, and one we respect.

One area which will be a little hit and miss is the black stripe through the rear panel, from light to light, personally we like it, but there has been a bit of mixed reaction to the pictures we have shared on our social network, but we applaud Ben for building the car how he wants it to look.
