Chop Shop 152 – August 2009

August 1st, 2009 by NZPC

Chop Shop 151 winner

LAST MONTH WINNER: Richard Andersen

CHOP BRIEF: If you’ve read the news pages this issue you will have seen the new Scion iQ concept, as shown at the recent New York International Motor Show. Complete with wide bodykit and 18-inch rims, the pint-sized iQ that will soon go on sale in the States (in a less extreme guise) looked every bit the tuned import machine. With that in mind, we want you to take this image of a production-spec iQ and inject some time attack/Super Lap modifications into the mix. At a minimum you’ll need pumped guards front and rear to fit large, lightweight rims and semi-slick tyres, as well as some serious aero aids to keep the car stuck to the track. Everything else is up to you, but as usual the judges will be looking for creativity and, of course, realism in the finished artwork.
