DNA PRODUCES KITS which are as close to the originals as possible. The team also places a great degree of emphasis on making the projects easy for the home-builder to put together. The chosen donor for DNA’s first two models, the 3Sixty and 4Thirty, is the Toyota MR2 Roadster (Mk3), giving the cars a really sound basis on which to build. The Ford Cougar based 5cudo is a more affordable version giving an option for those on a budget, while the Mercedes SL basis of the latest West Coast V8 gives genuine supercar performance to go with the looks. It also retains the folding hard-top, and wellequipped and high quality interior of the base car. The DN8 provides stunning looks and a complete transformation to the donor car with its extensive interior options. Quality of the body moulds is high and, when it’s combined with the DNA interior pack, makes for mainstream levels of fit and finish. DNA is very keen that all its customers’ cars are built to the same high standard (or better) of its own demo. DNA has a well-oiled after-sales service to help each of its customers achieve a high standard.
