How Body Kits Can Improve Your Car
Posted by in Body Kits on December 28, 2011
Body kits are often thought to belong to car enthusiasts and those who wish to make a ‘statement’ when they go for a drive, but this is not necessarily the case. A car body kit does not have to be flashy, over the top or bring lots of attention to your vehicle; indeed, these kits can be used by ordinary drivers simply to spruce up and improve the overall look of their vehicle.
As a matter of fact, elements of the body kit can actually develop the performance of your car. For example, by adding a spoiler to the rear of your car you are actually preventing any bad air movement when you are driving and will decrease the drag when you drive. This in turn will mean that you will use less fuel as the vehicle won’t have to get that extra bit of juice to counter the drag of the car. This is why you will find many sports cars come with added kits – in the form of a spoiler – already installed however, more often than not, these factory installed pieces of kit will be of limited quality and a much more efficient and effective one can be bought for a cheap price.

Bugatti Veyron F1
Posted by in Bugatti on June 21, 2011
The Bugatti Veyron is by its nature a very expensive car. Now add to it a F1 license plate, which is also the most expensive one and you will get the ultimate machine. The two of them, together will be the stars at the MPH Show at London’s Earls Court between 5-8 November. The lucky owner of this car is Afzal Kahn, who was kind enough to put it on display.
So, if by any chance you are in London at that time, check it out! You will also have the chance to see the Ferrari FXX, Lamborghini GT600 and Pagani Zonda R.
The world’s most expensive Bugatti Veyron, complete with F1 number plate, will be a star attraction at this year’s MPH Show featuring Top Gear Live at London’s Earls Court between 5-8 November. If ever the phrase ‘if you need to ask the price, you can’t afford it’ was appropriate it’s now. But at the right price the car could be up for sale, according to owner Afzal Kahn.
He’s hoping his soft white 253mph supercar could be the perfect choice for newly crowned Formula One champion Jenson Button since it features the most expensive number plate sold in the UK.
Capable of catapulting the driver to 100mph in 5.5 seconds this particular 1,010 BHP Bugatti Veyron has no close modern rivals in terms of price tags. But show goers can be sure, if rivals exist, they’ll all be at MPH The Prestige and Performance Motor Show.
Already the ultra rare GTbyCITROEN, worth over £1 million, is scheduled to appear at the show alongside fire-breathing examples from Pagani and Koenigsegg. Rumours about the Ferrari FXX, Lamborghini GT600 and Pagani Zonda R making an appearance are also widespread.
