Privat Wheels & VWVortex Announce 2007 Design Challenge
By Press Release: Privat Wheels
May 29, 2007, 09:10
VWvortex is home to the best VW enthusiasts in the world, and weve come up with a special challenge for all our resident armchair designers. VWvortex has teamed up with Privat Wheels to bring you the 2007 Design Challenge. You will have a chance to flex your creativity and show us your skill and let us see your vision of the ultimate 2007 VW GTI!
The contest is pretty easy and straightforward. Members of VWvortex will submit a rendering of a 2007 GTI, designing it as the Ultimate VW. The theme is wide open, and can vary from a full-on show car to a track-prepped racer. Nothing is out of bounds here! The one stipulation of the Design Challenge is that your submission must include a brand new wheel design that will be identified as a Privat Wheel. The new wheel design cannot be anything that Privat already offers in 2007, or an existing or intended wheel design of any company. You can go to www.privatwheels.com for more info on Privat and their wheel line.
We know, we know
the contest is cool and all, but whats in it for you, right? Well, our friends at Privat Wheels have something cool up their sleeves.
