The Impeccable Family Van // Winston’s Alphard on Rotiform
The family van. I’d say it’s one of the most perfect candidates for an air-suspension setup. With air-ride sedans, it’s more of a form-over-function kind of purpose; yes, mostly all about looking good aired-out. But with vans, I feel like it’s totally a different package altogether. Yes, they also look supremely good aired-out; but most importantly, the passenger-access for getting …

Dazzling // Denny’s W212 on OZ Futura
It’s one of those models you probably would have skipped; the E-Class sedan. That is, when you’re considering a new toy as your new project car. Mid-size, rather bland, very ‘corporate-fleet’ looking, and largely ‘Boring’. The S-Class would’ve been a greater platform for VIP-styles, while the C-Class would be perfect for sportier projects. Today, however, Denny is proving us otherwise. …

Mr. Lunatic // Kiki’s Alphard on Vossen x Work
What we have today is, quite possibly, the best example in staying within the middle-ground: the thin line between two most-contradicting things in the life of a car enthusiast. That is, when you’re in charge of your family, yet still having a strong urge in modifying the family-van! Tough call, I know. A thin line that, when executed properly, could …

Status Plus // Scirocco on Enkei
One of the most prominent path one could take in the quest for car customisation nowadays, is to upgrade the looks of the cars into higher-trims, and then proceed as planned – new wheels, aggressive lowering, and a portion of power bump.

Benz in Black // E Class on HRE
You have to admit, the ‘Men in Black’ movies surely got some taste. In the first movie, the duo drove a memorably high-tech Ford Crown Victoria, which was transformed into a jet-powered ride through the push of a button. Driven upside down in a tunnel and blasted through traffic like a bullet train, it was definitely a fresh-factor to its …

Golden Complication // S Class on Rotiform

The Other Luxury // Chrysler 300C on Monarch
Every time the term ‘luxury sedan’ gets thrown around, we’d usually associate it with European brands, sailing all the way across the sea from their homeland to Indonesia, to meet prospective buyers – and to become market leaders. Few of us would associate the term with other regions. Today’s 300C owner is among the few who did just that – …

A Coupe’s Charm // Octa’s 323CI on CCW
In Indonesia, there appears to be a certain allure that draws people towards two-door coupes, raising the resale values of these cars up to the sky, no matter how old they’ve become. Maybe it’s the shortage of doors that created a very sporty image, or maybe it’s the alluring frameless doors or the compact c-pillars. But what’s most important is …

Never Enough // Range Rover on Rotiform
One of mankind’s natural mindset is that sometimes, it wants more than what’s available on hand; there is never enough.
