To me there is a huge difference in tuning, i.e. what Brabus do, what Overfinch and what Callaway or Lingenfelter do. For some the exterior modifications are as important as what goes on under the bonnet or chassis. These people like the 'shout' of the exterior as a way to draw attention to either themselves or their car, suv, truck or whatever.

Other companies are more about keeping the changes subtle and for the benefit of the driver or passenger.....ie sleep cars or fast road cars. It is ultimately horses for courses but few people buy some of these wildly modified cars with mad exterior modifications, whereas many more buy 'tuner' cars such as those supplied by Alpina, Ruf etc. To me modifications are all about a sense of well spent money, creating a unique vehicle, which does not shout, but makes people want a closer look and then appreciate a sense of style and a connection, not revulsion and envy or plain horror.

Go way back to the 1914-1940 period of coach building to fully appreciate the difference between bespoke and factory built.

As one says in life....form is temporary class is permanent.
Yes, so you are sticking to the idea of cars that are not ostentatious.
Thank you.
