The idea here is that, SR Auto do not provide any parts of their own, but rather mash together what they can find and see if it works out as an art piece. That's why we have here a Hamann aero kit (front lip, side skirts, and
Vorsteiner's GTRS3 program for the BMW M3 Coupe is not really something that came out yesterday – it's been around for almost two years now. However, it sill is hot by today's standards and the latest proof of that is what we see here – a matte blue GTRS3 M3 having a photo shoot in Taiwan and generally gaining popularity. The program is mainly visual and consists of a widebody kit – front and rear bumpers (rear end diffuser included), flaring wheel arches and extended side skirts, all made from

Other than that, we have new bumpers, a new radiator grille, aluminum wing mirror caps and a different four-pipe exhaust system. Now, while the u

The name they gave their product is the “Konquistador” and it is actually an American icon – a Ford Mustang V. It's “V” for “Fifth generation” but it might as well be for V8 as this untamed pony moves about with a V8 4.6 liter 309 kW heart. So not much room for improvement in the engine compartment. No worries, as Reifen Coch have focused on other aspects of customizing. A f
