Styling Kits
While there are a lot of people who are happy with their ‘forecourt’ product, many want to enhance or personalise their vehicles beyond the factory options. They are either looking to improve on performance or enhance the styling be that subtle or bold. Whatever the taste of the individual, the demand is for parts designed and made to the highest quality.
Conversion Companies
At Drive, our track record working with vehicle manufacturers, known as OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and low volume specialists, places us in a unique position to support styling houses or conversion companies wanting to create their own product lines for cars and vans.
Design and Development
Utilising our expertise and knowledge of designing aftermarket accessories, we support projects from concept sketch to final product delivery. We develop creative concepts with design and engineering understanding for manufacture. With industry connections for production, we add measurable value to our clients’ businesses.
Injection Moulded Parts
Depending on the desired design language and business positioning we create appropriate car and van body kit designs. We can use the same brand language as the OEM and deliver mass produced injection moulded parts. This allows us to replicate the original fixing methods and crucial placement of any sensors. This approach allows our clients the assurance of fit enabling quick turn around.
Composite Parts
For the more extreme designs for limited editions or lower production numbers, the more suitable or cost effective route may well be production of composite or carbon fibre parts.
