This revolutionary system works just like a normal coilover with the added bonus of a hydraulically-operated sleeve mounted within the coilover to allow a lift amount of upto 45mm at the push of a button. What’s more, this system can either be integrated into a system such as the Variant 3 or added either to an OEM coilover or standard KW coilover system.

We are hugely proud to be able to not only supply but also install this fantastic product at Greg Howell Automotive Paint – in fact the exact system is currently fitted to our demo Porsche 964 which, as you can see from the animation above, works fantastic without compromising the performance or drivability. For more information please contact us directly on the details below.

To see what would work best, we tried a few different products on a single panel initially. This allowed us to determine that a three-step process would be best on the paint, first by using the DA Microfibre Cutting Compound followed by Meguiar’s Ultra Finishing Polish and finally Meguiar’s Ultimate Wax for paint protection.

The Microfibre pad and Cutting Compound applied with our DA system offered the most effective and quickest level of swirl/scratch removal. Once we had removed the scratches and swirls, we then applied the Meguiar’s M205 Ultra Finishing Polish to the paint. We specifically used this product because of the colour of the car. The Ultra Finishing Polish contains polishing oils which added a deep rich gloss, superb reflections and really made the paint pop. As well as containing a large amount of polishing oils the Ultra Finishing Polish contains a small amount of cut to remove any light swirls. Finally we applied Ultimate Wax to seal in the Ultra Finishing Polish and protect the paint from the elements.

We used the DA Polisher to apply all three products to the paint. A Meguiar’s Polishing Pad is the best way to apply the M205 and a Meguiar’s Finishing Pad is used to apply the Ultimate Wax. Microfibre Towels are used to remove any product residue after each application.

The Tdi motor has been tuned by Garage Midnight and REVO Technik and tested on Regal Autosport’s rolling road to 186bhp and 300lb/ft of torque. Suffice to say there was a lot of stone chips on the front end from all the European driving.

This awesome car was subject to our wheel colour coding service and has been prepared with Meguiar’s from new. You can see this vehicle in a really cool ‘Love Your Journey’ advertising campaign that Kenwood Electronics has just rolled out. It’s always a pleasure to work on high profile company demo vehicles even if the deadline is super-tight!
