If the tuners cannot be "combed" by government regulators somewhere, then the manufacturers themselves come into play. Private European workshops work closely with car companies. The title of a court tuning studio is earned by years of work, but more than pays off the sky-high price tag of refinement.

Russian tuning is not so much beyond the bounds of good and evil, but rather is still far from the idea of a civilized business. For the most part, this is the work of a “lone automaniac” or a small team that can easily disappear into the unknown after two or three projects.

Of course, all this affects the quality and safety. The authorities expect in the near future to translate car tuning into the legal field. Therefore, the presence at the Moscow tuning show of the Director of the Automotive Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Alexei Rakhmanov seemed quite natural.

Thanks to carbon-fiber panels, Mansory slightly changed the appearance of the 911 and significantly reduced the weight of the car. Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari GTB Fiorano and Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen performed in the same spirit.

Nearby on a less impressive clearing flaunted chrome film Ferrari F430 and Nissan GT-R. In general, pasting a car with vinyl is one of the most affordable ways to make it recognizable.
Right at the salon, garage craftsmen demonstrated the simplicity of this business. But honestly, it's scary to send your car for such an operation. Even at the exhibition, some specimens show gaps and inconsistencies between the body panels after gluing …
