Show Off // Audi A5 on Modulare
Released by Audi as the coupé version of its A4, the A5 has inherited the A4’s modern design cues. It is Audi’s answer to the market’s need for a more compact yet stylish luxury automobile. Today I’m showing off this A5 dressed up by Permaisuri, installed with a set of Modulare B7 wheels. It might not look like much if …

Daily Stretch // E46 3 Series on CCW
This E46 first caught my attention while I was attending HIN contest late 2012. If you can remember, I put this E46’s picture as the featured image on that contest’s coverage article. This time Mex has had the chance to do a full photo shoot for this stance machine. It’s pretty obvious that the ride has been purposely built for …

A Composer // Lamborghini Gallardo on Rennen Forged
Couple of days ago I posted the quite unusual yellow painted Z4 sent in by Mex from Bandung. Today’s ride he sent me is even more outrageous. 1) It’s a Lamborghini. 2) It’s wearing the not-so-usual Rennen Forged wheels of choice. 3) It’s been installed with a set of custom fibre and carbon body parts. A typical Lamborghini owner these …

Some Called It Landshark // Yellow (paint) Z4
From Laguna Seca Blue M3, today we move on to another uniquely colored BMW: a shiny yellow Z4. Yes the color has been achieved through a repaint, but it shines pretty good. You can see the depths and shades in these pictures yourself, they are real nice. A daring move indeed for the owner of this used to be silver-colored …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on DPE
The DPE SP-SC7 is surely a perfect example of well-executed concave wheel design. It’s got the lines, depths, and finishings that have created a very techy and 3D-looking wheel. Such popular and favorited design, however, has a rather unpleasant drawback: the rise of replicas. I’ve seen a lot of similarly designed wheels (most are replicas wearing DPE center caps) on …

Laguna Seca Blue // Posma’s E36 M3
Today’s post serves as another example of Indonesian car culture’s diversity. While E92 M3’s have become quite common sights these days, it takes a very lucky day to meet an E36 M3, let alone a Laguna Seca Blue one. Jumping from M3 to M3, couple of weeks ago Winston did the photoshoot for Alvin’s Frozen Grey M3 and today he …

Show Off // Ferrari FF on HRE
It’s the first Ferrari with a four-wheel drive system. It’s the first Ferrari to be officially styled as a shooting brake. It is also one of the few Ferrari’s having ample boot spaces and four seats. What it is, then, seems to be Ferrari’s attempt in stretching out the usability and practicality of its supercar. The FF can practically be …

From successful business owners to tight-on-budget high school students, I’ve seen and appreciated their various views towards automotive modifications. I’ve met young people who are uncommonly huge fans …

Show Off // 5 Series F10 on Modulare
I’ve just received another highend combo from Permaisuri: A BMW 5 Series F10 rolling on a set of 21″ Modulare wheels. There’s no doubt that the brushed finishing on these large wheels has managed to attract the right amount of attention every time. They’re not too flashy nor striking, which is good, in serving as an extension to the F10’s …

Double Chills // Alvin’s Frozen Grey M3 on Blue TE37SL
Can you name any other two-letter car model that can match the M3’s personalities of sportiness and road-going performance? I bet you’ll be having a hard time doing so. Some say it’s the shortest yet most recognizable car model synonymous with benchmark-setting high-performance capabilities. Handling, power, aesthetics, and histories, the M3 has it all. Despite this fact, BMW hasn’t actually …

Black Pearl // Audi A4 on BC Forged
Mystique, murky, fierce, often bold and cold. Black is the majesty of the dark. Making friends with shadows and hazes, black entities often go very much unnoticed. The Dark Knight opted for its all-black suit for a reason. To blend with its own shadows. To move swiftly unnoticed. To create that element of surprise. To be feared. The same goes …
