With electric cars fast becoming accepted it was only a matter of time before the performance aftermarket turned its attention to them. GAZ is proud to be one of the first manufacturers to offer an upgrade for an electric car in the shape of a full house
GAZ Gold fully adjustable coilover suspension kit for the Renault Zoe.

This is one electric car that won’t handle like a milk float because the ride height is selectable through 60mm of adjustment for an improved centre of gravity, whilst the damper units are fitted with anodised adjusters for long life. The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order – even after considerable service.

Heavy batteries mean that electric cars have different handling characteristics to regular cars so the GAZ kit allows damper rates to be varied by means of an adjuster knob on the damper body. The GAZ Gold range comes with a gas cell in the reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to prevent cavitation and reduce fade under extreme use. All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory for extra peace of mind.

The kit for the Zoe retails at just £965.31 + carriage & VAT and can be ordered as part number GGA221.

The latest creation to emerge from the GAZ factory is the new GAZ Gold fully adjustable suspension kit for the Vauxhall/Opel Corsa D.

The specification for this little track-day favourite is just like any other GAZ Gold kit; ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment and the damper units are fitted with anodised adjusters for long life. The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order – even after considerable service.

Damper rates are also variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper body. The GAZ Gold range comes with a gas cell in the reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to prevent cavitation and reduce fade under racing and trackday conditions.

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory for extra peace of mind.

The GAZ Gold Coilover Kit for the Vauxhall/Opel Corsa D can be ordered as part number GGA512 and retails at £965.31 + carriage and VAT.

Schrader Performance Sensors, a brand of Sensata Technologies, is the market leader in tyre pressure monitoring systems with more than 50% market share, has released a tyre pressure monitoring system for the Vauxhall/Opel Insignia MY2017 for use with aftermarket wheels.

Thanks to the new part owners of the new Insignia won’t have to forgo the safety of a tyre pressure monitoring system when changing to aftermarket wheels. They can simply instruct their tyre fitters to install Schrader part number 3025 and the safety of the OE system will be restored.

The compatible Snap-in-Faraday sensor is already available at all major wholesalers.
Further information can also be found at www.SchraderSensors.com

The high-quality standards set by Schrader itself are ensured by internal quality controls and by adhering to the strict quality regulations of car manufacturers. The production of original parts for well-known car manufacturers also guarantees the highest level of original quality for the aftermarket.

With black alloy wheels becoming more popular for both aftermarket fitment and as an OE option
SCHRADER, the global leader in tyre pressure monitoring systems, has released a Service Kit with black valves for the EZ-sensor 2.0® which enables the typical silver valve to be replaced with a black version.

The SCHRADER Service Kit delivers 100% of the original quality as the manufacturer develops and produces its entire product range (including valves) inhouse, adhering to the strict OE quality standards of the automotive industry. The black valves (item number 5061B-10) pass through several quality controls before release, including tests for salt and corrosion resistance, material strength and speed tests to ensure the components provide nothing but the best quality and safety for customers and drivers.

The new black valve includes a protective washer, which allows the stem to be mounted gently on the alloy wheel to avoid any scratches.

The service kit is designed to fit the EZ-sensor 2.0® type 2210 and 1210, as well as a variety of OE sensors, for example Ford, Mercedes, Renault and Hyundai.

The new product is now available at www.TPMSEuroShop.com. For further information, please contact the technical support hotline 0800 5555 8767.

The Maserati Levante S model was inspired by the Mediterranean wind of the same name and its spectacular design and refined luxury has captured many admiring glances. Now the well-known automotive studio LARTE DESIGN has prepared a package of new design features for the Italian SUV. The premium carbon fibre tuning kit is called SHTORM and consists of 17 new elements.

The first thing to catch the eye is the spectacular carbon fiber overlay on the bonnet. The aggressive design continues with carbon shieldings, fiercely protruding around the air intakes under the radiator grille and the illusion of the car being supported by the front bumper pad with its additional splitter. Front and rear wheel arches, impressive side skirts and harpoon-like overlays around the wing air intakes add contours and break up what was previously a somewhat slab sided look.

LARTE’s all carbon rear bumper diffuser is perfectly complemented by new tailor-made aluminum tailpipes. Optionally, the tailpipes are also available as a twin-pipe carbon version. The final chord of this elegant and muscular tuning symphony is the tailgate spoiler. LARTE also offers carefully selected alloy rims with horseshoe hub caps creating a perfect match for the bodywork.
Finally, LARTE also offers carbon mirror covers to complete the high tech image.

LARTE’s package should satisfy Maserati’s most dedicated fans, making a true dream car even more unique and desirable.
