BMW 550i – More “Steam” Than M5 Series

The tendency of car-wrapping instead of coloring has been progressing for quite some time now and has been significantly conquering every part of the world. More or less. In relation to this, Fostla at Seelze near Hanover, Germany, is considered to be some sort of a master when it comes to car-wrapping and for this reason, it has been preferred by many customers.

Such example is the BMW 550i F10 which has received not only full wrapping in urban-Taupe-mat-metallic or also gray-olive-mat-metallic but has also gained some substantial power improvements. After the alterations and thanks to the professionally applied foil by the company, the BMW exhibits highly aggressive look. The windows, the front and rear lamps are tinted, while the mounted on the front bumper lip and the rear diffusor are covered in sleek-black. Inside, there is a leather sports steering wheel coated with soft cushioning. It is just one of the features that exemplifies the distinctive custom-made design by Fostla.

In terms of power, the engine of the Bavarian car underwent a PP-Performance refitting which included stage-2 motor electronics modification, downpipes and Vmax unlocking, thus costing 4,299 €. In consequence, there is a power output boosted from 408 HP (300 kW) to 570 PS (419 kW) and a peak torque improved from 600 to 800 Nm. When we compare it to the M5 F10, which brings along 560 HP (412 kW) and the “modest” 680 Nm, we see that the 550i is more powerful.

Additionally, the BMW 550i F10 benefits from wheel-set that consists of Yido Performance YP1 Talia 20 inches in 9×20 ET35 at the front and 10×20 ET35 at the rear axle. This rim set can be purchased for 2,000 €, including a certificate. Finally, Michelin Pilot Sports tires in 245/35ZR20 at the front and 285/30ZR20 at the rear axle are considered to be a high-class wheel-tire-combination.

PP-Performance and Fostla.de Get Creative on BMW M5

Last week we’ve seen this great PP-Performance project on Ferrari F12berlinetta. Now it is time for the tuners to collaborate with the specialists at Fostla.de and get creative on a BMW M5 Series.

To harmonize the dark look, the windows and the front and rear lamps were tinted. In shining black come the front bumper lip and the rear diffusor. There are even some parts in the interior that include wrappings. Next, the steering wheel has been created by fostla.de and was coated with leather and soft cushioning.

The tuners added H&R lowering springs that lower the vehicle with 35 mm and Yido Performance YP1 Talia wheels of 20 inches in 9×20 ET35 on front and 10×20 ET35 on rear axle. The rim set is offered by fostla.de. They were fitted with Michelin Pilot Sports tires in 245/35ZR20 on front and 285/30ZR20 on the rear axle.

In addition, right before mounting, there have been added 5 mm wheel spacers. The racing sports exhaust system includes downpipes, which also play their part for M5’s performance.

PP-Performance stepped in when it came to the engine tuning. The performance was achieved via stage-2 motor electronics modification, downpipes and maximum speed unlocking. Thanks to this the tuner managed to improve the power significantly. The result of the enhancement is 570 hp (419 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft).

Fostla.de Wrapps-Up Porsche 991 GT3

Fostla.de Porsche 991 GT3 delivers new sporty exterior appearance. It was achieved by the full wrapping performed by the tuning specialists at the German company Fostla.de. The foil application is said to have many advantages over the standard painting. First of all, it exudes craftsmanship, secondly – it improves the individual appearance of the car, and at last – it conserves the its value. In particular, this Porsche 991 GT3 has been dressed in glossing white foil, and then its front has been covered with double layer wrapping.

The professionals at Fostla.de say that only after that began the scrupulously precise work in detail. A bilious green design foiling goes around the lower corner of the car body. It can’t be seen however at the rear area.

In addition, the upper edge of the air inlet at the front forms the borderline to the white body area. It manifests itself on the body sides by three black stripes. Behind the doors, the borderline clearly mounts up to the rear wings.

What is more, the bilious green longitudinal stripes have been added to the front bonnet, roof and rear motor bonnet. At the sides, each green line is limited by black stripes. The outer mirrors and the rear wing diffusors have been also wrapped in green.

The car has been almost fully foiled in matte PWF Yellow color. Only the bonnet, front spoiler lip and parts of the exterior mirrors have been decided in black Monza carbon, in order to make the perfect contrast to the yellow and to deliver more sports-sensation.

A tint technique of 5% has been applied to the windows as well as to the headlights, taillights and indicator signals. More importantly is that this BMW received a power upgrade via an optimization of the motor control. The result is that the pwertrain now manages to generate 537 hp (395 kW) and a 545 Nm (402 lb-ft) of torque.

This increase of power also means a faster acceleration time. The enhanced M6 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h for only 4.30 seconds on its way to a top speed of 300 km/h.

Fostla Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG Lquid Gold with 548 Horsepower

Fostla Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG Lquid Gold is a modification of the iconic model with premium foils and an extensive conversion to MOPF II. The refinement has been made by Fostla, a tuning company the Lower Saxony Hannover, which is proficient in vehicle foiling.

What else has been used in order to transform this Mercedes-Benz is a wide body aerodynamic kit delivered by PRIOR-Design (from their PD-Series named Widebody). In fact you can literally witness how this ingenious system of flowing lines and expressive curves boasts with an roadworthy tuning.

In addition, a great combination of wheels and tires has been implemented on this SL 55 AMG. Rotiform rims has been utilized, whose inner star was first powder coated in gloss black and then foiled in body color. Their dimensions are 10.5×20 inch at the front axle and 12.5×20 inch at the rear axle.

The latter have been fitted with appropriate tires with the dimensions of 265/30-20 and 325/25-20. Furthermore, what brings the SL closer to the asphalt is the lowering kit. The round-made window tinting received a humble 5% headlight tint.

An enhancement of the power has been performed as well. The V8 engine, which originally produces 500 hp (368 kW) is now further software optimized and generates 548 hp (403 kW). Another highlight here is the new exhaust system including black glossy powder coated exhaust tips.

Fostla Wrappings Audi RS6R MTM

An Audi RS6 Avant that has been touched by the skillful hand of MTM and then wrapped around with foil (increasingly popular these days) by Fostla.

By boosting the power up to 759 hp and 912 Nm of torque, MTM have created a significant distance from the “standard” RS6 which has “only” 571 hp and 650 Nm of torque coming from it’s 5.0-liter V10 FSI Turbo (Gallardoesque) engine. That’s why this one is actually called the Audi RS6…R. Anyway. Other non-stock features include the valve controlled exhaust system, the sports catalysts, RS5 9×20 ET29 rims equipped with 275/35R20 tires and a body kit comprising of a front lip spoiler and a rear diffuser. The end product is good for a top speed of 348 km/h – enough to peel the paint off.

But, what is actually on the surface of the body is foil. An anodized matt blue metallic PWF… something to be more exact. It’s been made by Fostla Wrappings and costs 2,500 Euros ($3,149). I know, but you also get tinting of the head and tail-lights. Still not buying it? Me neither.

2012 Fostla Audi Q7 SUV now offering 600 horsepower

2012 Fostla Audi Q7 SUV is a unique and newly tuned vehicle which will amaze you with its 600 horsepower (441 kW) and exceptional appearance added to the inherent Audi class and style.

The tuning company is no other but German based and in details it specializes in premium wrapping foils. In details the machine which stays behind this makeover, is the Audi Q7 V12 TDI. It has served as a basis for the foiling.

In fact, this was the first ever V12 TDI in a passenger vehicle. This engine has the capacity to produce an output of 368 kW (500 hp) and 1,000 Nm of torque (737.56 lb-ft) from its six liters. This means that solely the base model catapults from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in only 5.5 seconds and has an electronically capped top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph).

But let’s go back to the work of Fostla. What is important to highlight here is that the skilled handwork turns out to be a one of the most important things. The primary color of the Audi was green. However, the refinement now is made with PWF foil in diamond black matt.

In addition, the discs were also toned between fifty-five and eighty-five percent. The front and back lights have five percent of tinting.

Additional changes are also offered – this time not only in terms of exterior foiling style, but also in terms of set of 11×23 inch matt powder coated side Mansory C5 rims with 315/25R23 tyres in combination with 15 mm front and 30 mm back track plates.

More importantly in my opinion here is the work that has been done on the engine. To be more précised it was optimized and now is able to deliver the astonishing 600 hp (441 kW) and 1,150 Nm (848 lb.-ft.) torque.

To sum up: a great tuning to be considered by many!
