Some cars just have a bit more attitude than others. This VL definitely falls into that category.
A big thanks to our good mate Steven Kruik from Kruick Customs for sending this absolute weapon our way.
It’s a seriously well put together, blown LS VL that tells you everything you need to know about what it’s built to do. This thing likes to party!
Over the past few months, Steve has carried out paintwork on various parts of the car. Following some recent finishing touches, he sent it our way for the final stage of preparation and protection ahead of Candynats .
The car arrived absolutely blanketed in tyre rubber, so there was plenty of work ahead of us.
Over four days, we carried out extensive paint correction, refining the clear coat and removing sanding marks and imperfections left behind from the previous paintwork. The finish had already been flattened for a consistent appearance, but needed that final level of refinement.
Using our dedicated studio lighting, we identified and corrected those finer imperfections before locking in the finish with ceramic protection.
We also cleaned up the engine bay, removing rubber, grease and grime; restored the light grey interior after removing rubber staining; and pulled all four wheels off to properly polish the billet wheels.
We even fitted some additional PPF to the rear bumper corners to help protect those vulnerable areas from the inevitable abuse this thing is going to cop.
With Candy Nats just around the corner, we were on a tight deadline, getting the car finished and back on Thursday, just in time for Friday night.
We’ve seen plenty of impressive builds come through the studio over the years, but it’s not often you come across one that’s been put together quite this well.
Huge props to everyone involved in the build. We were stoked to add those finishing touches and a little icing to the cake!
Thanks again Steve for thinking of us. 🤝
