Lumma Design prepared a special tuning package for the BMW X6 and they are going to unveil the new BMW CLR X 650 GT at the Geneva Motor Show that starts next week. A lot of BMW Tuners tried to add their stylish touch to the popular BMW X6 and Lumma Design wanted to make their own version of this car. The BMW X6 received a lot of new body elements which improve the car’s aerodynamics like a new front bumper with a carbon fiber lip spoiler, wide fenders and side skirts, a new rear bumper and a carbon fiber rear wing. BMW magazine also wrote about the previous BMW X6 kit from Lumma but the new car looks better than the old version.

Saudi tuning companies get a lot of strange requests to create custom cars. While normal customers order a unique body kit and some upgrades under the hood, rich people from Saudi love to electroplate any previous metal on their luxury cars. In the world’s oil capitol there are many luxury vehicles and the tuner MyCar is challenged a lot in order to make an eye catching ride there. Ever heard of the Mercedes CS500? We haven’t heard either but the guys from MyCar went really far to create an all new Mercedes. The car is basically a gold plated Mercedes S550 but it has the front end of a Mercedes CL550 and it received a new name: the CS500.

We are getting tired to see the same cars every day and everyone would love to have a unique ride which stands out of the crowd. Stock cars don’t reflect the driver’s personality and that’s why people start to order different accessories or ask for custom parts and packages when they buy an expensive car. But there are always ways out of this problem and customers could get help from different tuning companies or even try to modify their cars alone. It’s not that hard to “tune” a car to meet personal needs because the owner is the only one who knows how he would like to improve his car. You can order custom car parts to improve the overall performance of your car and with a little help anyone could install high performance tuning kits by themselves.

We’ve seen a lot of crazy car tuning styles in our time, but the newest project made by Ride Cars in the United Kingdom is one of the most extreme modifications. The car’s styling was inspired by Eleanor, a Shelby GT500 from the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds” but the strange part comes right now: the car is not a modified Mustang, it’s based on a Toyota MR2. The guys from Ride Cars made an impressive carbon fiber bodykit that consists of a new front and rear body section, new side skirts, door sills and skins, new lights and hinges and an awesome set of rear window louvers. They can also offer a wide range of options like a new set of wheels and tires, new suspension, brakes and an improved exhaust system.

A car is probably the most precious thing in every man’s life. Many people spend most of their free time looking after their ride and of course they try to modify it in order to get better performance and make it look unique. After installing a tuning kit that improves the car’s performances any vehicle could accelerate very fast and get to higher speeds than the stock version which will give the owner an opportunity to impress friends. But driving at high speed can be extremely dangerous and it’s not something that any beginner should do. It’s risky and you can face different problems with road police and you might get traffic tickets for driving very fast on roads where it is strongly prohibited.
