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 …

Nuvolks Track Day June 2014 // Photo Coverage

All across the web I’ve encountered plenty of modification styles surrounding the Volkswagen communities. No doubt, these days a lot of the most popular builds out there are the aggressively fitted VWs. From aired out GTI’s to slammed big body Phaetons. These so called ‘people’s cars’ are undeniably gorgeous when lowered on a proper set of wheels. But what’s popular …

Daily Boost // Ongky’s Golf MK7 on Rays Homura

No doubt in these past few years we’ve been seeing a rise in the population of VW cars on our land. In the area where I’m living, North Jakarta, I most frequently encounter the Golf and Tiguan among other VW models, with Scirocco perhaps coming in on the third place. Compact, fuel efficient and German workmanship have set these people …

Classy Execution // GTI MKV on Volk Rays

The people’s car – the Volkswagen. Founded by Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to produce affordable and reliable cars for everyone, the brand has now become Europe’s largest automotive producer, which has also ranked third largest in the world (right after Toyota and GM). Unlike the other German companies, for example Mercedes Benz, Audi and BMW, Volkswagen has positioned itself as …

Nuvolks Bandung Breakfast Gathering // Photo Coverage

After last month’s Nuvolks Bandung officers’ relaunch ceremony, they’ve now come back with a breakfast gathering and HnP photoshoot held last week. Attended by some of Bandung’s coolest German hot hatches, the meet was filled with a rather vast variety of moded rides. From interesting body color wraps to air suspension setup. Enjoy these great captures by Mex our Bandung …

Nuvolks Bandung Relaunch Gathering // Photo Coverage

Saturday, March 15th, 2014. Indonesia’s largest and official watercooled Volkswagen community, Nuvolks, held yet another gathering at GH Universal Hotel, Bandung. Arranged in conjunction with the relaunching of new Nuvolks Bandung officers, the event was attended by Nuvolks Jakarta, Empire Club and Morningcall community. It was a great sunny morning filled with plenty of laughters, good foods and warm welcomes …

Permaisuri Thursday // Beetle on ERST Grora

Meet the Beetle. Arguably one of the most iconic cars ever built. Perhaps even as memorable as the Porsche 911, with a timeless design that has been passed over ever since it was introduced in 1938. However, unlike the 911 that still retains a rear-engine setup, VW has decided to relocate the Beetle’s engine to the front. Then also came …

The Editorial Duo // GTI MKV & MKVI

Behind the site, behind the photo shoots, behind the writings, behind all these hobby/passion jobs we do at HnP, each of our crew members has our own car projects we’re working on. We’ve always loved cars; we continuously admire other people’s builds through our site features. And we’re also dreaming of one day having our own ‘killer’ builds to be …

Permaisuri Thursday // Tiguan on HRE

Meet the Tiguan. The famous Golf’s taller, larger and more adventurous older brother. Unfortunately, unlike it’s hatchback sibling’s worldwide popularity, the Tiguan is sort of lagging behind when it comes to sales, especially in the US. Reviewers say perhaps it’s due to the awkward proportions, or the “nothing to see here” styling of the exteriors, or the uninspiring “just another …

Firstar // GTI MK6 on 3SDM

There are currently 327 posted articles in Hawk’n’Poke and yet this is the first time I’ve managed to get my own car featured. The GTI is currently about a year old and it wasn’t until a few weeks before GENESIS that I decided to inject an aggressive fitment into it. When first gotten my hands on the GTI, I’ve never …

Permaisuri Thursday // GTI MKV on BBS CH-R

Tried and true. GTI and the BBS name must’ve been two of the most related brands in the Indonesian watercooled VW scene. Today Permaisuri sent us over these pictures of a white MKV GTI wearing the 19″ BBS CH-R wheels. Combined with KW Springs, these 19-inchers are looking just right. Perfect setup for a daily driven car. On top of …

December Wallpaper // David’s Golf R

Apparently some have taken the term “hot hatch” way too literally. An idea first had by David the owner and then executed by Charles J, this picture was taken with real fires lighting up the car. In case you want to see the car during its daylight photoshoot: About Photographer – Charles J: “Right now I’m freelancing as an automotive …
