Tommy Kaira is a Japanese based tuning company who specialise in tuning and styling Subaru and Nissan Models. They started life in 1968 as Tomita Dream Sales and in the eighties became Tommy Kaira. They operate in a similar fashion to Gemballa in as much as they will rebrand a car as if they had manufactured it themselves.
Yet another German based tuning company. Gemballa started life around 30 years ago and have built up quite an expertise in tuning and redesigning Porsche cars to almost unrecognisable levels. In August 2010 the rights to the company name were reserved by Andreas Schwarz (CEO) after liquidators took over at Gemballa. Schwarz (a new personal hero of mine) took over the name and also the employees responsible for creating the machines that made that name in the first place. Gemballa has continued to make the avalanche (based on the 911) and the Mirage GT ( based on the Carrera GT). They have also looked to the future with the Cayman and Panamera.
A.B.T Sportsline are a Germany based tuning company who specialise in Audi and Volkswagen. They also tinker with Seat and Skoda.

At long last my prayers have been answered with last months launch of Alignmycar.co.uk
FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) showed a concept vehicle at the Australian motor show in July and announced yesterday that they would be producing a limited run of 125. It is exactly the sort of ninjaesque (if I use it enough it will become a real word) car I like. Fair enough, it’s a fairly grunty ninja more Steven Seagal than Bruce Lee but there is no denying that black is definitely the new black.
