Car For The Diamante Fans

Non-car fans might not know (or care) but the annual Singapore Import Night* (SIN) was held recently, a week before the Singapore F1.

Because hotel prices were outrageous during the F1 week, we settled for SIN – which also nicely coincided with the long public holiday.

At the show, I enjoyed walking around the tuned, the stickered-to-death and those modified-beyond-recognition cars. But despite my best effort, I failed to understand or appreciate the beauty of certain tyre rims or the car engines.

However, towards the end I did find a couple of cars which appeal to my sense of aesthetics.

Here were cars with some serious cosmetic work. There were diamante in so many parts of the cars that it was blinding! One version even has a special liquor bottle holder – no ordinary cup holders for the occupant of this car. In fact, it has quite a lot of interesting – because I cannot imagine the whys – objects inside it that I am a little surprised that none of the cars include miniature (just to be a little more imaginative) copper sinks for washing up.

I was so in awed with those cars that I forgot to ask how much it cost to customise a car that way.
