Sports exhaust and lowering were a few years ago in the field of car tuning absolutely hip. Creative minds continually come up with new possibilities. A current, coming from overseas trend is the wide body on the vehicle by widebody kit. For this purpose, complete wide-body kits are offered for the various vehicle models, which are to completely change the appearance of their vehicle, so that the customer gets a completely individualized car.
Breitbau Tuning - a current trend from overseas
The term Breitbau defines the extreme spread of bodywork, which is currently a popular trend overseas. He is often mentioned in connection with "Liberty Walk", "Rauh-Welt" and "Rocket Bunny". It is a manufacturer of wide body kits from Japan. These providers have the most extreme variants at the start. With this method, fender attachments and often new aprons are attached which are fastened with exposed screw connections. In practice, however, many kits can also be attached by gluing. This fastening method has the advantage that, in the event of damage, it can be replaced with less effort, provided that it was not necessary to cut out the fenders.
The rims - especially noticeable in the wide body
In the tuned vehicles but also fall on the oversized rims especially. They replace the original rims of the manufacturer and are of course extremely wide due to the clearly grown wheel arches. In order to fit the rims, it is necessary in almost every car to partially cut out the factory-fitted fenders, as already mentioned above, so that sufficient space is available for the attachments, but also for the new wheels. Not infrequently, the new Alus have an extreme width of 10 up to 13 inches and sometimes even a negative Einspresstiefe and combination with a huge low bed. And for Breitbau autotuning also a lowering is needed so that the result is consistent.
Other characteristic features
Characteristic content offered by Breitbau tuning kits are almost always widening as an attachment for the fenders, alternatively, there are also completely new front fenders and side panels for welding in the back. Mostly they are used in combination with specific rear and front aprons to create a fluid transition. Other components include, for example, side skirts or trunk spoilers which are also included in the kits of the manufacturer. The inspiration for this trend comes from racing cars that almost always have a widebody body. Approaches to this type of tuning existed long before this trend became so popular around the world. Even the Opel Manta by Til Schweiger had such a body kit in the 90 years.
