- Wrapped and embossed roof
- Maxton spoiler lip
- Stance+ coilovers
- Custom bonnet

Why I got into the scene: Cars have always been a big part in my family and childhood. I always used to go and watch BTCC live and it had me hooked. Then once I found Need for speed on PS2 that was it. It gave me a scratch I just had to itch! Being friends with the right people and having a husband that shared the same passion is what got me into the car scene.
I've been apart of xclusive automotive from the very beginning. Helping support a local club that appricates any build and treats everybody with respect was a no brainer for me. Xclusive automive isn't just your typical car club. It's a place for all car enthusiast alike, no matter what age or what car you drive. Everyone is accepted to be apart of the big xclusive family.

I love all types of cars I’m not just into that one branded car like only German etc I’m quite opened minded so I enjoy a lot of cars and take an interest into most ! Also another reason was to communicate with other car enthusiasts and see there builds and there ideas and just share each other cars /builds and appreciate what everyone does to there own vehicle !

Why I got into the scene – From a young age I was always into cars as my dad used to always have modified cars and would take me out and that what was sparked my interest and love into car scene and always used to help him work on cars he had and then in college went on to do motorsport mechanic class. Once I started driving all my cars have been modified even my Corsa had a ridiculously loud and obnoxious exhaust and then the modifications grew and the cars have changed and improved from Corsa’s to fiesta and now my golf R32. Always at as many shows as can be as long as I get time off and always love to be part of scene.
Why I wanted to be part of xclusive – I wanted to be a part of xclusive as there extremely welcoming and very friendly and always support one another. They have also become good friends of ours and we always love seeing them and having a good laugh and chat with them. They have created such an amazing community to be a part of and being a rep has allowed us to be a part of that family even more and to help it grow and grow and their shows are starting to get bigger and bigger and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

A bit about me: I'm 23, I'm a big fan of F1. I was brought up into go karting, which led to me having my own go kart and competing in a few races.
Instagram: M10_LNB
Car: MK7 Golf GTI
About my build: For the golf I just wanted to go for a OEM+ look which is practical for daily use as well as a clean subtle look, without piling loads of money into it for a show build. For the GTI I went for a full maxton kit, lowering springs, alloys, custom wheel, a custom exhaust and a few extra bits.
Why I got into the scene: I think the main thing that got me into the scene was seeing some cool builds on Instagram which really gauged my interest along with my dad having a lot of different modified track cars. When I got my first car I started to modify it quite nicely to my taste and it just when from there really.
Why I wanted to be a part of Xclusive: I've known Harry for a few years and after I seen that he started the group with a few reps in it, it appealed to me to try and be a part of it because I'd never been a rep for a group before and at the time I just bought the GTI so it was the right time to apply.
