Renegade Aero Kits

There isn’t a day that goes by when we are approached by various companies around the world, asking us to promote or sell something within the motor trade, for obvious reasons wheels are by far the largest request, with requests coming from China, America & recently Japan, carbon fibre and aero products in general are also quite a popular weekly request, but just lately we have had LED lights and custom switches, hitting our inbox, in fairness most of them do hit file 13, as we feel we have more than enough to keep us busy, I know a lot of companies like to collect brands and have thousands of listing on their website, but that’s just not how we like to conduct our business, you can’t please everyone all of the time, so we like to keep it lean working with high quality companies that share our vision and long term goals.

One email request to hit the inbox this week was from Renegade, a company we have personally followed for a while, as their Jeep and Range Rover Sport wide body conversions caught our eye when they were launched back in 2015, they look almost factory the conversions look that good.

The full aero pack conversions will be added to the website over the next few days and we very much look forward to the all new BMW X5 aero kit they are working on as well as working with them for the foreseeable future.

BMW Z4 GT

After popular request we have decided to offer a fibre glass option for our BMW Z4 GT aero kit along with our Nissan GTR wide body, both aero kits have been very popular in the carbon fibre, especially the GTR, but with so many fibre glass options on the market, demand for a cheaper option of the kit has been a popular request.

The GT carbon aero for the Z4 is a beautiful piece of art, it really is that stunning, but unfortunately unless you are building a bespoke Z4 as our customer has done in Dubai with the V10 and like we are also do with a V8 LS7, then its way over most people budget, as the full carbon kit is worth more than the vehicle itself in most cases, so after listening to the demand, a cheaper option was a must.

Email the team for more details of the BMW Z4 GT & the Nissan GTR Wide Body.

VAD + BAMD = QUALITY

Since the internal restructure of VAD at the start of 2015 the company has grown immensely, finding new direction in the way we have gone about our business. The company made some terrible decisions in the early years, taken mainly by a certain member of the team, the company looked great from the outside, but unfortunately it’s was a bit of a mess on the inside, I think the whole global industry will remember the RWB fiasco, let’s face it who hasn't, it's a topic that I want to personally discuss in finer detail over the coming weeks, there is a story to tell and it’s about time the truth was told, but this blog post isn’t about the past it's about the present and the future.

At the start of 2015 with the changes in place, losing the in-house paint facility of the company set us back a few months, losing various Porsche aero parts, namely the 993 and the Cayenne was no huge loss, and if im honest a huge relief, it was tarnished and still is, it bought the company and the brand nothing but hassle and aggravation, so it was time to get back to basics, after all VAD are renowned forged wheel specialists and we have been for the past 15 years, servicing the trade whilst recently opening the doors to the public domain, so it wasn’t difficult for the company to refocus and get back to doing what we do best, build and sell custom forged wheels.

The demand for aero parts was still huge, especially the GT3 aero programme we had advertised and promoted throughout 2014, and although the parts we were able for us to source and were beautifully manufactured, its worth remembering they are a race part, so the fit and finish for a road car application is like chalk and cheese, as we found out they fit where they touch, something we wouldn’t be happy selling or fitting to the world’s elite brands, so it was time to rethink and make a plan.

First of all the search was on for us to find a paint specialist that we could work with, advertising an in-house painting facility isn’t worth promoting if your work is substandard, and i would rather work side by side with companies that offer me a unique high quality service, that can then complement what we do, this is when I came across Adam Barmby and his composite company BAMD.

Those of you that read the VAD blogs will know all about how VAD and BAMD came together and what projects we have worked on, along with whats planned for the future, we both share the same quality core values, fit and finish is paramount if you are putting your name to it, as you can see from the attached pictures it’s quite evident that Adam is completely anal when it comes to finish and attention to detail.

This particular 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera is a credit to him, showing his capabilities as a car builder, every nut and bolt has been either changed or upgraded, with some crazy one off bespoke touches, I particularly like the petrol cap that’s recessed into the front bonnet, it’s a real touch of craftsmanship, the interior of this beauty is as clean as the exterior, as is the underside and engine bay, this is one meticulously put together machine, a job he's immensely proud of, who wouldn't be.

So what's next for the Aspect-GT brand. Well with enquiries coming in thick and fast from all over the world, a full carbon fibre Ferrari 458 Curseive GT3 in the planning stages, along with our new Audi R8 Ultra –R, along with our own Z4 V8 GT3 build, as well as a bit of aero enhancement to the all new 991 Porsche GT3-RS model, it’s going to be a very busy year, and as we have always said at VAD… Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort and skillful execution, a slogan we can both relate to.
