Hi Guys from the UK!
Hi Guys (and girls)
My name's Lam (funnily enough) and I hail from the London, UK. VIP style is completely new in the UK, but I've been closely following the trends that Japan and the US have been offering. Of course, what I'll do is take the best bits of UK auto styling and mix it up to create something unique...hopefully!
My car will be the first VIP style car in the country and because of that I've already had offers to feature the car. I'm hoping to get onto the front cover of Max Power.
The car in question is a JZS161 Toyota Aristo, a rare car in itself! I bought it from Phil Morrison, the guy who runs Driftworks.
It was already nicely styled when I got her
Since then i've added a whole lot of stuff, mainly VIP stuff from Garson/D.A.D, so i've got a lot of interior stuff such as the front table for the passenger, curtains all round, leather covered memory foam neck pads and such.
Chrome bits that have been added are Junction Produce pillar trims, which make a HUGE difference to the car. I've also added chrome door handles and a chrome boot garnish.
Then I managed to get some Garson Zuenglein DR 302's in chrome in some real "manly" specs.
18" x 10" ET 10 on the front
19" x 12" ET -6 on the rear.

Obviously they were going to stick out from the bodywork, but I needed to see how much
So Will at www.streetoptions.co.uk has been tasked by me to create a full custom widebody conversion to house the wheels.
He will be fabricating the rear arches out of steel, and they will follow the factory lines and will look something like this...
I went to see the car today, and the front arches are nearly ready for paint. It turns out that with the amount of repainting and fibreglass repairs required, I might get the car fully resprayed.
We're thinking that she's going to stay black, but with a little bit of metalflake to bring some sparkle in.
Hope you guys like it and I will keep updating the forum as and when! :)
