Classical Approach // Arnies’ Prior Design 3-Series F30 on Breyton
The rise of the F30. Everybody knows that the 3-Series haven’t been as popular as the C-class Benz in terms of its nation-wide sales. However, the number of individualized 3-Series these days could be comparable to that of the Benz.

Doing it right the first time. Inside my previous article, I’ve talked about how most people have gone through some drastic changes in their modification styles and preferences.

Sophistication Evolved // Iwan’s 3 Series E90 on ATS Wheels
They say a lot of enthusiasts do evolve. The cars they picked. The parts they installed. The decisions they made. Is it true? Well, as a kid I used to love cars. All cars, but especially bright-red two-door cars. Red Ferrari’s, red 90s Mercedes SL, red convertible Miata’s, I used to collect their diecasts. But if you ask me now, …

Tipping Point // Alex Supremo’s Golf on CCW
The aggressive fitment scene has spread across the world like a wildfire. Started from the idea of having widest wheels and lowered race cars to be used on the track, the aggressive fitment scene (some people refer to as ‘stance’) has been bringing the same approach to the streets, albeit with a lot more poke-and-camber. More style, less track-oriented. Recently …

Meet the MINI John Cooper Works GP2. A seriously retuned MINI JCW inside, which has been wrapped with some quirky fun shells on the outside. A limited edition of only 2000 units worldwide, the GP2 has been designed as the missing link between the regular JCW and the MINI Challenge race car. It’s the borderline of a production car and …

Modestly Astonishing // Team Agentz Nick’s GTI on SSR
Let me start off today’s article with a rather strong perspective towards the local Indonesian car scene: there’re still way too many pretentious people with pretentious car builds out there. Seriously, our car culture should’ve been more matured by now. Stop putting oversized aeros to your underpowered rides (it’ll only slow you down even more, trust me). Stop putting all …
