Cool Tuning Fever

First off, the H&R GTI

The tone on tone paint difference is not always noticeable, but the power and handling definitely is! The new GTI has an automatic built-in market. The young car guys who built GTIs 25 years ago cant wait to get their hands on this new car. The Y Generation likes a well-engineered vehicle that offers a huge array of aftermarket to add to their style. H&R GTI has it all!

Then, the record breaker .. the 9ff GT9.

If you want to drive fast, there is one thing your car really needs: adhesion! Without this, your dream of the absolute maximum speed can not become a reality . That is why, the speed specialist 9ff from Dortmund has teamed up with the development partner H&R-Spezialfedern.

No other manufacturer can pride itself on having such an extensive know-how of Porsches as well as maximum velocity (V/max). The fastest standard Porsche Carrera GT and all Alzen Porsches are equipped with top class suspension systems by H&R as well as their own development the Mission 400 Plus.

Last but not least, the Edo 599 GTB

Three cars in a row, what do you think?

All of them are really nice looking, especially the GTi. Love the paint, rims, style on it. Allone if you are reading this, make your GTi look like that one! The GT9 is long, sleek looking and very impressive with all those parts that come with it. 9ff rims are starting to grow on me aswell, I quite like them now. 599 doesn't look too bad, could have been done better with it being in black or a dark metallic blue or something, but still it looks nice, some very spicy cars coming out this month.

when i first read about the 9ff, a few weeks ago, i knew i wanted to learn more. i like the looks and the power it should have will be unbelievable. The ferrari looks nice, but not too much info was put in the thread so i cant really say too much about it. The GTi is ugly, i personally think that the new generation GTi are ugly. I have a GTi but it's an '05 and its the older generation, the better one. the newer ones are just ugly and too girly for me to like. that just my opinion tho

The golf is a repost. This thread was made by me.
Anyways i like so much the 599GTB. It looks so great. The rims are so good. The white paint suits the car well. Good project.

i dont really get what youre meaning...

and they put it white probably because the edo competition logo is black and red, so red cant be much possible and white would make their logo stand out more

marketing stills lolz

White paints are a trend in these days. Just look a white BMW. The white paint suits well the cars. It's an awesome paint.

And Robbie you are right in your last post. Marketing rulezzz. lol.

I like that GTI, its interior the paint, rims everything. But, I hate how that Porsche looks, I cant explain why but I do. And I now think GTBs look horrible in white.
