The Freed with the essence of European sport

A Honda Freed with a customized front face that at first glance you can’t tell what type of car it is. As the aero is something you don’t see very often, you’d think it was a one-off, but it’s a combination bumper finished with a creative idea. Let’s check out the Freed in detail, which is full of other rare tricks.

All one-offs to complete the unique form!

Owner Mr. “Hakobiya Shun” originally drove a sedan, but switched to the Honda Freed in search of a car that could accommodate more children, and he built it together with the input of his three children. One of the main highlights of the Freed is that the bumpers are a one-off combination of a BMW 1 Series bumper and the Freed’s genuine bumpers. The overall direction of the car has been given a Eurosport essence, and every detail has been tweaked.

For example, press lines have been added to the bonnet and the rear gate has had the emblem removed and lines added. The clean appearance emphasizes the sense of being an unknown car model and raises the level of perfection. Commercial truck work lights are embedded in the ducts of the bumper, glowing orange. Under the headlights, dummy washer nozzle covers were made. The headlights were then blacked out and converted to projectors. The indicator and small lights are swapped. The tail lights are also smaller-grained and use 120 LEDs.

Footwear-wise, the rear brakes have been changed from drums to discs, achieved with a disc and caliper for the GE8 ‘Fit’ and an axle. The axles are made by BODY-WORKS Chibi Oni. The wheels are WORK XSA 05C wheels. They liked the fact that they had a wide range of insets and even stepped rims to choose from.

The specifications are eye-catching at the event

The interior proposed a rather spectacular interior, with four Goodgan Racing semi-bucket seats. Panels are painted white with pink wrap paint. The ceiling is reupholstered and a one-off woofer box is made between the driver and passenger seats. They were made by Warps in Hiroshima. The woofer is 8 inches. The luggage area is smartly decorated with wheels and an air tank. It has been transformed into a specification that will attract attention at events, and has an originality and a nice finish.

The airbrushing on the sliding doors is a nice detail, and with plenty of rare techniques, every inch of the Freed is a sight to behold. And yet, when you look at the car as a whole without preconceptions, it looks really neat and tidy, and it doesn’t seem like it’s been worked on to the last detail. This is the kind of tweaking that only owners of the same model can understand.
