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.

This is one car we are looking forward to seeing in all its glory when winter has been and gone.

The aero kit is available from stock in either FRP or Carbon fibre, with a huge list of options, email us for more details on our wide body GTR programme. enquiries@vaddesign.com

Speedwells Wide Body Supra

The Speedwell Supra, owed by our good friend Iby, it’s a showcase not just for his skill set but his company too, he puts life back into worn out alloy wheels, he is the ultimate wheel restorer, and is extremely good at what he does, just think of a colour and he can make it happen, including one off colour and bespoke finishes, and the good thing is he caters for all wheels from oem wheels to 2 and 3 piece forged splities, he can pretty much restore any wheel back to original, all wheels are dry painted and finished to perfection, so next time you need your wheels refinishing, look him up and tell him VAD sent you, we promise you will not be disappointed.

The car itself needs no introduction, that is unless you have been living under a rock with no internet or wifi connection, we have featured it a couple of times over the last few years in various disguises, it must be one of Europe’s most posted Supra's across the media networks, its lit our feeds up this years more than any other Supra around the world, but what we can say is we haven’t seen one picture of this car that does it justice, not one, in the metal this is mind blowingly good, with the kit is a complete one off, well it was... until now.

Since we can remember we have been hounding iby to reproduce the kit, as we have had so many requests, he had also been inundated with request too, so he has finally stepped out of his manic schedule and pulled the trigger, and will be available to buy over the next few months, and you can buy it right here at VAD.

The kit will feature the usual wide body aero parts, front bumper, front splitter, front wider fenders, side skirts, rear wider quarter panels, rear bumper with integrated diffuser.

With any wide body project you will need the wheels to suit, you can fit 17” 18” 19” or if you desired 20” will fit with slight mods, but 20” as long as you run 10.5” front and 13” rear with suitable width tyres, other upgrades will be required, suspension, with fitting and painting required to completed look.

If you fancy this unique wide body look for your Toyota Supra, drop us an email, or get in touch, and we will hook you up with what has to be the ultimate supra conversion on the market.

The Ultimate Rocket Bunny 350Z

We have said it before and we will say it again… we love what we do, we get to mix it up with some of the coolest people in the scene from all over the world, and one cool guy in particular is our buddy Bryce Jenkins.

Some of you will already know that we have a couple of favourite Rocket Bunny 350Z builds that really do hit the VAD sweet spot, as you know we aren’t really a fan of the rivet over fender scene, but the RB350Z looks so damn good, and Bryce has taken the bunny to another level, in more ways than one.

The first thing that caught our attention was the wheel build, but let’s come to that later. The first thing I want to discuss is the colour, boy oh boy did he nail that, it’s absolutely incredible to look at, we can’t stop staring at it in the office it’s that nice, we can honestly say we don’t think there is a better looking 350Z out there, black rose …. We luuuuuurve you.

Now to the wheels, we all know wheels make the car, and you can’t beat the look of a classic 5 spoke, and the AG F130 is pure win, but what we like about the Bryce factor is he didn’t follow the usual concave crowd, nope he did it his way, traditional standard profile, with huge outer rims, and the colour of the wheels is right on the money, that compliments the body colour to perfection.

14X19 AG F130 Bryce Jenkins Rocket Bunny 350Z

So how about this for fitment … 12x19 front & 14x19 rear, he then wrapped them in “MAN” sized tyres, none of this skinny ass 255 sssssssssstreched on a 14” wheel, with silly camber un-driveable garbage, nope he did things properly, 295/30 front and 345/30 rear, Bryce doesn’t do things by halves, it’s done properly or not at all, we like that…we like that a lot.

Well now for the best bit... it’s ***FOR-SALE*** yes we know, lets repeat that … it’s for sale and it’s a bloody bargain.

The spec list is amazing, to the point of trouser arousing, especially when you look at the price he wants for the car, we know you can’t put a price, effort, commitment and time, if you could this car would be up for $100k + but what a car for the money, someone stateside is going to grab an absolute bargain, so here goes, ....tissues at the ready.
