Vorsteiner Performance parts

Vorsteiner is a leading manufacturer of high quality carbon fibre (CF) parts and other performance enhancing parts for top performance cars from BMW, Mercedes, Porsche. They also have a division catering to premium performance Japanese cars such as the GT-R and IS-F.

The gem of their product line is their range of CF replacement parts for major components like hoods and trunks. The CF hoods are especially vital to the enthusiastic driver. A CF hood weighs about half that of a standard steel one (a standard BMW 3 series hood weighs about 17 kg). Thinking along the lines of Einstein’s Force = Mass x Acceleration formula, one can immediately get a sense of the enhanced cornering abilities with less moment of inertia and thus flatter cornering response.

For those that prefer the understated look, the CF parts can be painted in the car’s body color for the ultimate stealth attack.

Besides CF parts, they also carry a range of 1, 2 or 3 piece forged performance rims. Ranges from 19 – 22” and width from 8-13” these are suitable for upgraded BBKs.

Stokke Xplory Stroller System




One of the most important baby items a new parent has to purchase is a stroller system. Choosing a stroller system can be quite confusing with wide ranges in prices and features. Take it from me, mother of 2 young children, we currently have 4 strollers (2 single strollers, 2 double strollers), accquired in the last 3 years.

Special Likes:

  • study construction and smooth, can get up or down the escalator.
