Design Daihatsu Materia ICECUBE

German tuners Inden-Design is better known for their work on high-priced models from Ferrari and Mercedes. The company is now branching out a bit, and turning their sites on the sub-€15,000 Daihatsu Materia.

Dubbed “ICECUBE”, the modification kit targets both the optical and the technical areas of the Japanese car. The vehicle wears a body kit consisting of an extension kit that covers 10 body parts (EUR 448), a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser (EUR 448) and a set of daytime running lights (EUR230). The exterior pack is completed by carbon mirror caps, door handles and boot lid (EUR 1,200).

A carbon fiber trim package for the exterior mirrors, door handles and boot lid strip (€1,200), a lowered sport suspension kit from H&R (€780), a sport exhaust system with two polished tail pipes (€1,198) and 18-inch wheels shod in 215/35 tires up front and 225/35 at the back (€5,800) complete the exterior package.

As an option, Inden Design offers a 3-part wheel assembly with high-grade steel outer frames for a hefty price of 5,800 euros. In addition to the superior rims, a high performance sports exhaust system includes a catalytic converter with dual polished tail pipes for an extra 1,198 euros. The next modification in the line up of Daihatsu Materia parts is the H&R-sport helical differential gear, which can be purchased for 780 euros.

By Design offers a wide range of accessories for the interior, including carbon fiber trim package (€ 1.450), Alcantara trim on the dash and column (€ 680), audio system (1,200 €) and navigation / DVD system (€ 1298).
