The “CLS-FOX” kit for the commercial vehicles Toyota TownAce/LiteAce
Osaka Auto Messe (OAM) 2024 took place at Intex Osaka from 10-12 February 2024. This event is where many customized cars are lined up in a row every year, giving it a spectacular appearance. Still, this year many of them were based on older vehicles and given classical exteriors. Many of the cars fitted with such face change kits had an image of old American, British, and old Japanese cars, but one that stood out from the crowd was the new model of the CLS-FOX series by local company ESB of Osaka.
Choice of bumper or grille, one or both, depending on preference
This new model fits the S40-series Toyota TownAce/LiteAce, Daihatsu Gran Max, and Mazda Bongo, and its main feature is a design that pays homage to the Mercedes-Benz Transporter of yesteryear.
The base car tends to give the impression of being a rather dowdy business car, but this kit transforms it into a fashionable one-box car with a classical atmosphere.
At first glance, it looks as if the front mask parts have been changed to give it a completely new look, but in fact, only two items are fitted-the front bumper and front grille set (bonnet panel and light covers)-and the headlights are the same as the factory ones. It should also be noted that the headlights are the same as the factory ones.
And since the front items can be fitted to vans and trucks as well, they are perfect for changing the image of vehicles used as business cars.
The CLS TC01 wheels on the feet add a playful touch
In addition, tail lens covers are available for vans, and the demo car was fitted with lift-up spacers (compatible with vehicle inspections) that can raise the vehicle height by 40 mm, and the CLS TC01 wheels, one of the company’s most popular items, were installed underfoot.
The TC01 is a steel wheel with a wild design and low price, and is now available in a new 14-inch 6.0J 48 5-hole 114.3 sizes for the S40 series. They are ideal as wheels to decorate the feet of business cars that require strength.
The S40 series is often chosen not only as a business car, but also as a base for campervans, so we can recommend this product to users who have been waiting for a kit that allows them to change the exterior with a sense of fun.
