Permaisuri Thursday // MINI Cooper S on HRE
Most people are lured into buying aftermarket wheels because of their good looks. Few others are more concerned towards the wheels’ strength and potential weight-savings. Adding wheels’ costs to those factors and we’d have a pretty good idea at the market’s preference for wheels. At this current moment, I believe, Indonesia is still having a large market share of “good …

Wallpaper Wednesday // Novitec Torado Aventador LP700-4
How could you possibly improve on excellence? I guess we could all totally understand the concepts behind tuning companies such as Brabus, Hamann, TechArt and many others; which has always succeeded in turning civilian cars into high performance, aggressively tuned vehicles.

A Fanatical Affair // BMW 3 Series E46 on Volk Rays from Bali
There’s no doubt a lot of us here are still in the dark when it comes to Bali’s automotive scene. Yes we’ve seen a lot of exotics here and there across the island; mostly shipped over from Jakarta for road trips and gatherings. But what about the modified rides scenes over there? Is aggressive fitment popular? Or functional performance mods …

Wallpaper Wednesday // Mex’s Miata on Work
Mex’s Miata is back on our headlines! And today it’s looking lower and sleeker than ever. Ever since the featured article we posted a year ago, Mex has installed a pair of front lips and rear ducktail, and has also dialed down those STD coilovers a little bit more. The result is this stunningly static Miata, quite possibly one of …

Show Off // Riph’s Celica on Work
For today’s Show Off article I’d like to present to you something rather unusual found on our streets: an aggressively lowered 2005 Toyota Celica! Built by Toyota during the early 2000s, this seventh generation Celica proved to be the last and the best iteration to Toyota’s compact sports car of the period. Light, nimble and arguably good-looking, the platform became …

Street Heat // Didot’s GT-R on Volk Rays
Meet the Nissan GT-R. The multi-million dollar gamble by the billion-dollar company. A supercar performance mated with a coupe’s practicality, whipped together under a humble pricing. Some say its acceleration is comparable to being hit by a truck. Others experience G-forces during corners so strong that necks are literally broken while driving the car (it’s Clarkson, check out the video …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evolution X on Weds
After posting hundreds of featured cars over these past few years at HnP, I’ve learned one fact about the Indonesian car culture: Japanese performance car owners have some of the longest mod-spec-lists in town. GTR, S2000, Evolution, Subaru, for example, have proven themselves to be the perfect platforms from which an owner could build his/her childhood dream rides; thus installing …

Profound Warrior // Richard’s Aristo on BC Forged
The road less traveled. As you might’ve already noticed, most of the cars featured on our site have always been equipped with bolt-on made-for-a-specific-model aftermarket parts. Proper. Neat. And more importantly reliable. Whether it’d be a set of Kahn bodykit or iND custom painted parts or even the GT86 bolt-on turbo kit. We love all of these mods because they …

What’s the most stylish SUV/crossover on our streets right now? Must be the Evoque! Contemporary, modern and perfectly suitable for the fashion seekers, Land Rover has combined the seductive looks of coupe design with the practicality of an off-roader. A weird formula for sure, but a very successful one nonetheless. What we have today is a rather special Evoque that’s …

Wallpaper Wednesday // McLaren MP4-12C
Meet the MP4-12C; the subtle supercar. With its dynamic suspensions system, welcoming interior and excellent daily-drivability, the MP4-12C is the supercar wrapped under a great load of practicalities. Yet it is still outperforming the performance of its rivals in the market. What lies underneath is a 600bhp+ 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8 combined with a vehicle mass that’s just under 1,400kg. …

Permaisuri Thursday // 3 Series E90 on Modulare
One of the world’s most renowned sculptor once said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Simplicity? Well, looking at the current trends in the automotive customization industry these days, seems like the same concept is still greatly pursued. Some of the most admirable builds (such as this Beetle from Canibeat) look almost way too simplistic at one glance, yet a closer …
