Playing With Words. And Cars.

I'm a fan of rapid cars. I'm a fan of wraparound glass. I'm a fan of word play. What is there not to like about a small powerful hot hatch that embodies all three concepts? Thus was the project outline for my Seat Wrapedo, a bright red small sports hatch from the Spanish arm of VW. My Wrapedo is based on the Seat Ibiza, which uses a platform that also underpins the latest VW Polo and the brand new Audi A1. Besides the obvious change to the C pillar and rear hatch, I've lowered the car and taken some height out of the bodysides, an old kustom kar trick known as "sectioning." A full length black glass roof panel completes this muy caliente auto.
