German tuner JMS has released a wild tuning package for the humble Audi A3. The “Racelook Exclusiv” kit provides an aggressive, tuned appearance to the hatchback A3. To take the conservative family hatchback over the styling edge, JMS now provides a coil-over suspension kit that lowers the A3 by 55mm at the front and 45mm at the rear. Massive nineteen-inch eta-beta tettsut wheels in black with stainless steel inlays give the show car a race-ready stance.

To finish it off, JMS provides a full body kit, including a rear roof spoiler, a rear apron, side skirts and a deep front spoiler with cutouts for air intakes that can be screened with silver or black alloy mesh. The full kit costs about 5700 Euro. For more information, check out JMS’ website at www.racelook.de.

New 19-inch multispoke wheel-set, 4-piston brakes and coilover suspension capable of lowering ride height from 35mm to a ground scraping 65 mm round out the package. See press release below for full details.

If you think that current BMW M5 is not sporty enough, then you may consider installing the new body kit from Japanese elite tuning company Wald International. In contrast with aggressive-looking body kits of European origin, Wald’s package makes the M5 look more elegant and, well, somewhat ready, if you know what I mean.

The kit, Wald International says in its press release, includes new front apron with integrated carbon fiber parts, side skirts, restyled rear bumper fascia with integrated carbon fiber air diffuser and carbon fiber deck lid spoiler. The car sits on Wald’s Portofino forged black-painted wheels.

The Japanese company still says nothing about the kit’s price and availability in Europe and North America.
