This has been a long time coming but as they say perfection does take time and the finished product is pretty spectaular, it so different to any other spoiler available on the market and really suits the Supra oem lines as well as the Speedwells wide body, Iby certainly got the design process on point, its very well thought out and looks oem which is why we like this so much, less is more with this spoiler.

The design process on this spoiler goes back a few years in fact the concept first made its way onto Iby’s own Black Toyota Supra wide body back at the end of 2016, but at the time it needed a little bit of titivation to create the final production version and it was only recently during lockdown that the mould and the mock-up part was given the time needed to complete and get it ready for production and we are happy to confirm the part is finally here and ready to order.

Apart from the incredible looks, this exclusive ducktail boot spoiler uses the original Toyota Supra oem fixing points, so no need for any extra drilling, the part just needs to be painted to suit and fitted as you would the original supra rear wing.

Get in touch with us for more details on this new ducktail spoiler and the Speedwells wide body aero kit.

Diamond Cutting at Speedwells Refinishers

There are a few alloy wheel refurbishing companies in and around the Birmingham area, some good (ish), some not so good and some not even worth a mention, it’s a classic case of you get what you pay for in this particular field, we personally as a company recommend and use Speedwells Refinishers based Speedwell Road Birmingham, some of their competition state VAD only showing Speedwell loyalty because of our business links and the fact the two owners are good friends and although that is true VAD as a brand only work with the very best in their field, so if we are working closely with a company you can rest assured they are the best at what they do and Speedwells are no different to any other company we are associated with, quality means everything to our brand, and Speedwells share the same business ethics and values, if they didn't we wouldn't work with them.

Now we have that out of the way, let’s get down to the reason of this post as its pretty exciting news for not only Iby and his company, but also for the new as well as the huge reapeat in customer business that use his services week in week out.

When you take a wheel into Speedwells to get refinished, everything apart from the stripping of the old original paint is done in house, the diamond cutting was also a process that was outsourced, but in the run up to the festive period December 2019 that all changed with the install of a brand new diamond cutting machine.

Speedwells has expanded nicely over the last 10 years of business so adding the final piece of the jigsaw installing an in-house diamond cutting machine was a no brainer, it has been on the cards for a long time, but Iby was merely waiting for the right time as well as it making financial sense, with his aim for the start of 2020 to be completely self-contained, and with the powder coat paint line being a work of art, the diamond cutting has only improved on the high quality setup, with the Speedwells quality being better maintained, especially when you don’t have the need to outsource a service.

We are excited to see this part of the business grow for him as it’s a service we use a lot, and the quality of work that is coming out of the Speedwells HQ over the last few years is mind blowing, this is merely an enhancement on the current set up, he may well have competition but his work ethic and standards are the benchmark, he is definitely leading his field, everyone else is just playing … don’t believe us, hit him up and tell him VAD sent you, ...you will not be disappointed.

3SDM Forged Wheels.

Wheels maketh the car right, so it’s important to choose not just the right design but the right wheel brand and with so many wheel brands on the market where do you start, which is a difficult choice for us, so I can only imagine what that’s like for you the customer, that is looking to make or break their build, and it really is a mine field of good and not so good product.

Over the last couple of years, we have become very disgruntled with the wheel brands we have been involved with that are manufactured stateside, as the loyalty, quality and customer service seems to have gone backwards, as the wheel market shrinks with new wheel brands that seem to open on a weekly basis, which is having an impact on the larger brands as they push for more sales, so its numbers over brand quality.

We have already covered our forged range of magnesium wheels, along with the brands we source from Japan which are some of our favourite wheel brands, and it helps that the Japanese are so easy to deal with and quality over quantity is what they are renown for, which is us to a tee, but we are happy to say we are adding a fresh high quality brand to the VAD line up and its home grown to, right here in the UK, 3SDM.

3SDM FORGED WHEELS

We have been chatting to Dylan the owner for a while, buying some of his cast wheels for our Mini R56 wide flare conversions and although they supply a few companies around the UK, we will not only be offering the 3SDM brand, but working with them on other exciting products, whilst they will also be making some of our own VAD wheel designs, and all on our door step, which is a huge bonus.

Lead time are the usual 4 to 6 weeks, which can grow depending on how busy the factory is, but we aim to half that by finishing our own wheels, that will be done exclusively by our wheel refinishing partners Speedwells who are based in Birmingham not too far from the VAD HQ.

A full option list of size, width and finish is available with every PCD and offset catered for, to include centre lock, new and old, as well as bespoke applications and limited exclusive production runs, we will also be working with the team on our own unique wheel designs, so keep an eye out for further details and if you require an information on the line up and what’s coming over the next few months, do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
