This is the work of Lawrence from Custom Shack based in Kent. His tag is Kaos and he has done complete vehicles, bonnets and items like crash helmets. We met him a few times at a meet at Briely Coachworks in Tonbridge wells, keep an eye on TorqueCars events page in the forum to see when the next meet will be. [Read more →]

TVR have been turning out some pretty radical cars over the years. One noticable design feature on this car is the extremely rounded leading edge on the door. [Read more →]

We were amazed to see a customised Bentley Continental GT. This one finished in white looks so much better from the many metallic coloured ones around our roads. [Read more →]

How is this for an original Jaguar? We haven’t seen a modified or style Jaguar Sovereign so we just had to snap these pics. The vinyl stickers are of  a flame design with engine components over laid on them. [Read more →]

Meet the Lotus Exige S. What do you make of the styling on this car? It certainly seems to be very curvey with lots of practical vents in the front bumper and bonnet. Pretty much every car made by Lotus is original and fresh in terms of design. [Read more →]

The RB26 is an impressive engine. This owner has matched the components and engine covers using some engine styling parts and a little creativity. The Blue has been subtly done with the interior of the engine bay done in blue. [Read more →]

Meet the Cadillac XLR roadster which was launched in 2004. It is very angular and enjoys pleasing sharp lines. The grill is very chrome heavy and the proportions of the car are large, Cadillac large. [Read more →]

The Nissan Skyline is an instant classic. It has an almost stealth look but comes packing the performance of a supercar. Having the right badge then is everything. [Read more →]

When people start talking about ICE they are usually thinking along the lines of big speakers loads of amps and lots of noise. In recent times the addition of a screen to play the odd DVD is also getting popular with screen sizes of 7-9 inches being popular. [Read more →]

Shy retiring types go with grey and black cloth trimmed interior, however if you own a Pagani Zonda you clearly don’t fit the “shy retiring” description. [Read more →]

This must rate as one of the most exlusive Skyline badges for a car to wear – the V-Spec II Nur. This is one car on which debadging would be sacrilidge. [Read more →]

We took a look at this Punto last week and focussed on the cool split opening bonnet. It is time to revisit this awesome show car and look a the paint and styling applied to it. [Read more →]

We like the Mustang a lot, particularly the latest incarnation of it. This supercharged example sounds wonderful with the engine on tickover and it really comes alive at full throttle. [Read more →]

Take one expensive car in this case the DB7, Cover it with gold leaf and then get 7 diamonds set in the bonnet. This makes one of the most expensive DB7s ever. Normally when we feature a cool ICE install we are talking sounds, this one has ICE of a different kind installed. [Read more →]

We know that people can get a bit carried away when creating a show car and this owner fits the profile perfectly. Quad exhausts, a massive ICE install wide arches and retrimmed interior are just the highlights of this project. This photo shows a custom car which appears to be based on the Saxo or 106 platform but we would be grateful if someone knows what this car is and if there is anything interesting under the bonnet.

This is hailed as one of the fastest production cars in the world with a theoretical top speed of 270 mph. You are viewing the Shelby Sports Cars (SSC) Aero.  [Read more →]

This is the stripped out Renault Megane R26R. It is a stunning car and arguable one of the best to come out of Renault in a while. It is a hardcore Megane tuned and optimised for Nurburgring lap times. [Read more →]

This Honda dash has been painted/retrimmed in white. It is a fantastic look and rather than go for the common white dials this owner has a white surround with black dials. [Read more →]

Even the engine can be improved with a little imagination. This ford Focus RS engine has gone for a blue theme. [Read more →]
