We’ve often argued that the first generation Boxster is a car crying out to be modified. The shape itself has all the right ingredients, but in standard form, is just let down by looking a bit, well… 90’s! James clearly gets this. He’s recognised that with the Boxster, there is a really classic shape, and a thoroughly capable car. A set of nice wheels, a touch of lowering… and you get something that looks like this! Hats off to you James.
The C3 Audi 100 was enormously successful and sold over 1-million units, however admittedly, it’s not a car that jumps to mind when you think of finding something cool to modify. Despite this, Mitch has shown that sometimes the most unlikely of cars, when a bit of inspiration and vision is applied to them, can make some of the coolest retro motors. We absolutely love this car, and if you read the owner interview below, there’s a really touching story to go with it!
We think 996 Porsches look their best when they’re low, simple and clean. Over the years their styling has aged nicely, and has taken on a real retro-appeal, and this “keep it simple” approach really complements that. Dan has taken this exact approach with his car, focussing on the natural beauty of the 996 and steering clear of wings and things. Put simply, we love it, and…
What Bobby has done to this car is quite astounding. What’s more astounding is the fact Bobby isn’t a car customiser by trade, he’s a police officer. Somehow (we still haven’t worked out how) he has managed, in just four years, alongside his day job, to do pull off one of the biggest restoration and customisation projects we’ve seen yet!
As you may be able to tell, we LOVE these cars. They are true icons and really represent the original ‘high-performance’ estate car. Cars such as the M5 Touring, the RS6, and the E63 AMG owe their existence to the overwhelming success of the RS2. Peter’s car looks absolutely stunning, when you read the…
Luke has a bit of history with retro VW’s. He’s had a MK3 Golf GTI and also still owns a hugely modified MK2f Polo. He recently bought this stunner of a Jetta, and has big plans. He’s already got the car sitting nice and low, and we absolutely love the super-rare Hella DE font grill. Read the interview with Luke to find out what he’s got stored up for this Jetta…
Brad’s car is a super rare “944 S” and it’s an absolutely beautiful looking thing. Brad has upgraded the car in a range of areas, but one of the most striking (and successful in our opinion) is the addition of flared bolt on arches which are subtle enough to give the car a hugely aggressive stance, whilst looking as if they could have been a factory option…
Well we’re very proud to have our first car from Africa here! Roland’s based in Ghana, and the story of how he came to own this Beetle is a great one. We love what he’s done to the car, and his photographs are brilliant. Check out the interview with him below to learn a bit of his story…
We love what Kane has done to his E30. As you can see from the pictures he’s managed to get it sitting beautifully low, and the wheels are really different to what you usually see on these cars… and they REALLY work in our opinion. Kane has had to do a lot of work to get the car looking…
Imran’s just about finished building this lovely MK1 Golf. We love these cars, they’ve got such a beautiful shape and age only makes them better on the eye. Imran’s really set this car off with some subtle modifications including a set of BBS wheels…
