AK Car-Design Audi A5 grille insert
Adolf Koch has been working in the field of tuning for 30 years. He reckons that a growing number of automakers are designing cars that tend to look similar despite investing lots of money in expensive styling departments.
For Koch the front end represents the face of a motor company and for him, Audi and Mercedes-Benz cars all look too similar respectively. That is to say for example an A3 looks like an A4, which looks like an A6 and so on. Koch's company AK Car-Design aims to change this first by giving these two brands new updated front grilles and fresh overall body looks. They are calling this planned renaissance "the second face". Installing the grille inserts is possible without making any modifications to the cars.
The new E-Class is one potential subject that goes one step further by providing a fully restyled body kit. In addition to special front grille insert options, the tuner has developed a spoiler, side skirts and a rear valance with special exhaust tailpipes.
Other candidates include most of the Audis which Koch promises to turn into unique masterpieces.

"The second face"
It is no secret that modern cars tend to look similar. Almost all major car manufacturers invest enormous sums of money in designing the front of their cars in order to make their model range look as incisive and as in keeping with brand image as possible. This means that front parts have now become difficult to tell apart - especially with the Mercedes and Audi brands. In this area the discovery of the single frame look was therefore groundbreaking.
In order to give back some uniqueness to the individual models, Adolf Koch - who has worked in the field of tuning for 30 years and should be well known to many insiders - has developed an interesting alternative to the standard front guard. With the slogan "the second face", as of now the Swabian is presenting under the label of his new company AK Car-Design with the cooperation of an industrial partner specially styled radiator grill inserts which give every vehicle an individual touch. To begin with AK Car-Design will provide inserts for almost all Audi and Mercedes models.
For the new E-Class generation which was recently released to car dealers, Adolf Koch has of course already developed his latest inserts as well as a complete car body construction, consisting of a spoiler, side skirts and an individual rear valance with special exhaust tailpipes. For the car front there are several variations of grill available, among these a variant in real carbon.
In the meantime, confusion is at its greatest among the Audi model range thanks to the single frame look. From the A3 to the A8 every car from the Ingolstadt giant looks practically identical. With his very individual front designs; Adolf Koch also creates perfect alternatives which will immediately make any Audi model look unique.
The prices for the special front guard begin at 535 Euro. With all grills, installation is possible without modifications to the car, making installation problem free.
