Here are a couple of the Hot cars we saw at our meet at Briely Coachworks in Kent. (Check TorqueCars forum events section for details of the next meet!) The cars represent the very best of modern car styling and both are a blend of Euro and Jap. [Read more →]

There may not be much room under the engine bay of modern cars but you can certainly make it look cool. this 206 owner has gone with a carbon fibre theme, which includes the strut brace! [Read more →]

Carbon fibre, known for its light weight and strength is an ideal material for a spoiler. This Toyota Celica boasts a state of the art fully adjustable rear spoiler which is not just for show. [Read more →]

The RX7 is a stunning little car and absolutely adored by it’s owners. It has a few quirks but the innovative engine and radical styling make it an instant classsic. [Read more →]

Interior styling is very subjective and this TVR has used brushed metal and black stiched leather to great effect. The gear stick and handbrake have the same brushed metal and leather finish. [Read more →]

Nissan 200 rear black lights with chrome surround. Don’t stick with the boring factory fit rear lights when you can so easily upgrade them to something that looks this cool. [Read more →]

The V8 Vantage stamps Aston Martins place as one of the world premier Marques. The rear styling of the Vantage is very Aston Martin, the lights feature the distinctively rotated V with a colour coded insert. A subtle Aston Martin badge takes pride of place in the rear and the lines are all very crisp and clean. [Read more →]

This is one of those cars I just had to post up. I know i’m going to get a lot of stick for this one but it is original. It is not every day that you see a car with more fur than an episode of the muppet show!

 The fur is stuck onto the paintwork in a similar way to vinyl stickers and I also understand that it can be removed and washed so there is probably some velcro involved in this setup as well. This is certainly not a car you would take through the car wash – you’d be more likely to take it to a hairdressers for a shampoo and set.

What a start to 2008 – this is the snow white of the car world. The Subaru Impreza has a dedicated and loyal following. The flat four boxer engine gives it a distinctive engine note, but what is the point of having what everyone else has when you can mod it like this example. This pure white Impreza has a number of subtle modifications which really do enhance the appearance of the car. [Read more →]

This is Timmy’s very cool CRX, a tribute to Ayrton Senna. He has chosen some very nice wolf race alloy wheels for his CRX and you can also from this picture see the lambo door kit and the two tone paint spray from red to yellow, giving a sunset effect. [Read more →]

The 306 GTI 6 is virtually an instant classic. A perfect combination of power and handling make this one of the best 306′s around and re-establishes Peugeots reputation for a hot hatch maker since the 205 GTi’s of the 1980′s. [Read more →]

We have always been big fans of the sporty Jaguars and the XK100 is certainly no exception. In standard form it has really nice curves and is very pleasing to the eye. This special edition XK100 is finished in black with 2 vertical racing stripes in gold running the length of the car. [Read more →]

BMW have created a very distinctive corporate look and it is refreshing to see a complete restyle using after market parts. This blue debadged and kitted BMW is a great example of a styling project. The distinctive BMW rear lights have been upgraded and with the badges removed it really helps the car to look anonymous. [Read more →]

Make a statement by adding a 90 degree vertical lift door to your car. This car is fitted with very smooth running 90 degree vertical door kits. [Read more →]

Some people really like their music. Other like to share their music with as many people as possible. These photos show some crazy ICE (in car entertainment) installs. This is what I would call NICE ICE. [Read more →]

One way to protect your car from unsightly stone chips and damage is to fit a car bra. This 306 has a stylish car bra made from a heavy duty black plastic with a leather effect. [Read more →]

The FTO is a popular car although owners report that it can be hard finding modified parts for the FTO.  We have here a simple styling mod that looks great in the dark, an illuminated FTO badge that sits on the door sill. [Read more →]

This Renault 5 turbo exhaust is very well thought out and professionally finished. Today many exhausts are straight or slash cut at the end whereas this exhaust has a tapered end. [Read more →]

I know we are breaking with convention a little by featuring a truck on a car styling site but we felt this was worth a mention. Often trucks are mistreated and given very hard lives by their owners, [Read more →]
