In this episode, we take you inside THREE standout Urban Widetracks that showcase the full spectrum of custom possibilities when you commission a vehicle with us....
First, Lenny flies out to Rotterdam to inspect a comprehensively modified Defender finished in an ultra-exclusive Rolls-Royce Emerald Green. Commissioned via our partners at Absolute Motors in The Netherlands for a client in Dubai, this build features a fully bespoke tan leather and alcantara interior, complete with custom wood veneer finishes. It rides on 23” Urban-Vossen UV-X wheels in brushed silver — a seamless blend of heritage and innovation.
In contrast, two wrapped Urban Widetracks — one in vibrant baby blue, the other in bold orange — push the boundaries of bold design. Both feature colour-matched calipers and our aggressive WX-3 alloy wheels, showing how even the most confident colour choices can be executed with precision.
From refined luxury to loud, unapologetic individuality — every detail, every finish, and every curve reflects our belief that vehicles should be as unique as the people who drive them.
Custom is what we do. Design is how we stand apart.

Is 2025 the year of the more unique urban vehicle?
Have we finally broken the curse of just black and grey cars out of urban?
We've done some pretty unique vehicles over the last couple of weeks
and now I've got these two to show you.
I have two returning customers who are coming out of two black 110 hardtops.
They wanted something a little bit different this time around
and as you can see when we're talking different we're talking very different.
What I love about these cars is the details.
The colour coding is spot on and this is exactly how I would expect my car
if I went for a bright colour.
So we have the XRS style bonnet but we've gone for colour coded vents
and colour coded tablet badges on the top vents and the side vents,
the roof light bar and the spoiler.
We've also gone for colour coded calipers
which look great with these satin black WX3 alloys
because you see the colour through there but it's not too much.
So as much as I love that car this blue is popping
and I don't think we've done a Defender in this colour before.
It's a little bit baby blue, it's a little bit Miami blue
but the same as the orange one it's the attention to detail again.
So the vents, the tablets, the calipers, it all ties in perfectly.
And then to finish off the back end of the car
my customers have gone with NAS rear lights
but also colour coded lettering on the premium wheel cover.
Apart from the colour, get in the comments
and let me know if you've spotted the one difference between these two cars.
Anyway, these cars are ready for handover now.
My customers are coming in a couple of days, I've got to go catch a flight.
Zoom in on that sign, see where we are.
We're back, we're back at Absolute Motors in Rotterdam in the Netherlands
and we have some very special cars for you to see.
How are you?
I'm fine, how are you?
Finally you guys are back.
Back, we're back again.
You've got some cool stuff to show us, right?
Yeah, we have a special project.
So we were thinking this is something we need to show.
When Absolute say special project, I know it's going to be special.
I'm really looking forward to this, it's worth the trip home.
Yeah, and you brought some nice weather as well.
I'm not the British to bring the nice weather
but hopefully this colour on this special project will pop, right?
I think so, I think so.
Let's take it out.
Right, so we're in the centre of Rotterdam.
It's a beautiful, sunny but windy day.
It's windy.
I'm glad the sunshine is out because we can really get to see this colour.
I mean, it is absolutely stunning.
It's a perfect day to show the colour on the car, right?
The emerald green, the Rolls-Royce colour.
Rolls-Royce emerald green, which we've seen on a spectre
and that was the inspiration, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And the cool thing is, if it's in the shadow, it almost looks like a black car.
Yeah.
You just think it's a Santorini black one and then the sun shines and pops out.
And you get to see all the details.
Now, is this down to you and your vision
or is it with help with the customer in terms of where you want it Santorini black
and where you want it emerald green?
No, it's basically what I had in mind.
Right, okay.
So that's the cool thing.
You just said, okay, pretend like it's your own car.
Yeah.
And just tell me what I need to do.
Yeah, I really like the idea of making it two-tone but use this line.
Yes.
As braking line for the two-tone.
Because there's so many contrasts.
Because you've got the Santorini black, the emerald green, the gloss black,
then the satin carbon and it all just ties in so nicely.
Yeah.
It is absolutely perfect.
Yeah, and the balance needed to be like,
he wanted it sporty but not too extreme off-road.
A little bit of a street version.
And also a premium look, of course, with the Rolls-Royce colour.
It gives a premium look but also the satin carbon fibre,
I think it goes a little bit, yeah.
No roof light bar as well, which is a very sleek look.
I know Simon at Urban, he's a big fan of not having a roof light bar.
You want that kind of road look rather than something like, you know, off-roady.
Yeah.
Yeah, normally when someone walks in the shop and tells me
I don't want a roof light bar or something,
then I'm like, hmm, that's something the Defender really needs.
It's a big part of the kit, especially the Urban kit.
It's a big look for that car, isn't it?
Yeah, but if the story is correct, then less is more, I think, on this car.
And what I have noticed, these beautiful 23-inch UVX alloys,
which I haven't seen in this colour yet.
And we were speaking about this at Absolute,
on how silver and grey alloys are making a comeback,
and you can really see that detail, you see the size more.
Yeah, especially in this configuration with the green.
He saw a Ferrari, a green Ferrari at our shop,
and he was like, oh, I like those wheels.
And there we had this colour of wheels underneath the car.
And also because I wanted, you can see it on the front wheels better,
I wanted to paint the brake calipers in the body colour in green.
In emerald green as well, yeah.
And then with a black wheel, I think, yeah, this pops out the brake caliper even more.
That's a great design to show off a caliper as well, those thin spokes.
Yeah.
And you can really see that colour pop through.
And again, with the sun shining on it, see that metallic.
But what I do love about this, again, so much gloss,
but these little satin carbon touches.
Yeah, it gives balance, right?
It's fantastic.
And then obviously the XRS style bonnet again.
Yeah.
So we've got Santorini black bonnet.
Santorini black on the bonnet.
And also the outside black parts are all Santorini black.
Normally we do just like uni-gloss black.
But with all the metallic on the green, it's the perfect combination.
And then satin grille bar as well.
But this is the other thing as well.
So this has been filled because he hasn't had the urban lettering.
Correct.
Again, for that smooth look.
Yeah, yeah.
Like we've got behind the smooth bonnet.
And that was basically a combination of getting rid of the light bar,
then the lettering as well.
And that gives it like the smooth look.
The only thing is the dealership.
Yeah, we have that now again.
But I mean, you've created a really unique car.
Like you said, we take inspiration from you guys.
You sometimes take inspiration from us.
But we haven't done a build like this in the UK yet.
So I'm going back home with some ideas on what I can put to customers.
Perfect.
The interior is a big standout as well, isn't it?
For the modification.
That's where all the real details are popping out.
Everywhere I look, there is something that has been...
I don't think there's anywhere that hasn't been untouched.
Even down to the dials.
Yeah, even the small ones.
Yeah, it is absolutely incredible.
And it's a very British look.
The green over tan, right?
It's a very fashionable color.
Yeah, and also the wooden panels.
Custom-made wooden panels in it.
Even the badge in the steering wheel is from wood.
And here as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So basically the client said,
I want the leather with the Alcantara combination in right balance.
Some details in the leather.
So we came up with a special design for him.
On the stitching pattern and the perforation.
And the green piping.
And unlike most signature builds,
we've left the comfort seats in rather than go for the Recaro.
Correct, yeah.
So that luxury feel again, rather than sporty.
Yeah, so that it matches the smooth look from the outside as well.
And of course, we were thinking of...
When we repaint the car, what will we do?
Will we also repaint the inside of the doors?
Because a lot of the exterior color is popping out in the interior as well.
So we decided to bring the green exterior color back into the interior as well.
But then we saw all the gray meshes.
Even the meshes on the speaker covers.
Yeah, they are matched with the exterior color.
And what's just caught my eye as well is the...
Green seatbelts.
Again, the attention to detail is just incredible.
If I was the owner of this car, I would be absolutely over the moon.
And again, like the contrast on the outside
with the Santorini Black and the Emerald Green and the Gloss Black.
You have a beautiful contrast inside with the tan leather,
the Alcantara, then the green on the inside as well.
And the wood elements as well.
It is just such a beautiful build.
Well, there's one detail that we also have done for the first time.
And those are eliminated dooring steps.
And if you open the door, they light up for 30 seconds.
And then they shut off again.
Illuminated treads plates.
That is absolutely awesome.
So, so cool.
So yeah, I think every detail that we could have done is done on this car.
I don't think there's anything else you could have done.
I think you've completed it.
And otherwise, I have a good reason to fly to Dubai to do it.
Absolutely, yeah.
I mean, we've got the sunshine, but we don't have the heat.
I'm going to turn these heated seats on and just enjoy myself in here.
So, we will do a little tour at the Absolut Motors facility.
Most of you guys know us from the urban builds in the Netherlands that we do.
But besides the urban builds, we do a lot of other stuff.
For example, Expel.
This is a Dunkervoort.
A quite extreme car.
It's a lightweight car.
725 kilograms.
With the Audi RS3 engine.
500 horsepower.
Yeah, besides these cars, we do a lot of Defenders.
Especially hybrid Defenders.
Because in the Netherlands, there's a tax benefit on the hybrids.
So, I think this week we will get 15 new Defenders.
They're all stock.
Then we rebuild them to an urban version.
And then we push them back on the market as an urban version.
Yeah, so as you can see, we always have a lot of Defenders in front of the shop.
So, we have a stock version.
We have an urban version with the XRS bonnet.
Defended bonnet.
A bit more normal urban version.
So, a lot of variety in the type of Defenders that we have.
675LT.
It came in from Monaco for some modifications.
And it was completely blue on the side.
So, we did some carbon fiber upgrades.
A window tint.
Some interior upgrades.
Exhaust system.
And yeah, now it's perfect.
So yeah, then we are in the detailing area.
Where every project starts and ends.
This is our transport Defender.
It's in front of the trailer being washed now.
We are prepping a M3 CS.
New exhaust system.
Wheels.
Lowering.
Aventuria upgrades.
So, that's pretty cool.
Of course, the Dubai Defender as you have seen on the video.
A green F8.
Always nice with the carbon fiber wheels.
So, now you've seen where all the cars are made.
And we also have a storage facility with all the finished cars.
So yeah, let's take a look there.
So, this is our storage facility.
Where we basically store some cars for clients.
But also some of our own cars.
And mostly it's completely full.
For example, with new Defenders that we need to build.
Or Defenders that are finished.
But now it's quite empty.
But still a few exotic cars left.
From classic Fiat Jollies.
Beetles.
To the N Largos.
Limited editions.
And some cars that we have on stock.
Like the G-Wagon Urban.
Always good to have an Urban G-Wagon on stock.
And probably you also remember the RS6 Urban.
Because we took that one to the graffiti show in the Urban booth.
And yeah, this is a really popular car.
Everybody likes it.
So, so far the quick tour at the Absolute Motors headquarters.
I hope you liked it.
And yeah, there's more special stuff coming up.
L460 Range Rover.
Full carbon wide track kit.
24-inch alloys.
Yeah, so this is basically a car that we have on stock.
And that we have put on the market.
So we, yeah, it needed to be a car for a wide audience.
So that's why we're going for a black car with a black interior.
But we wanted to add some details.
It's Absolute Motors.
You couldn't leave it completely just black.
But this is stunning.
I recognize this color.
Why do I recognize this color?
Lamborghini?
Yeah, that's correct.
The Geneva Motor Show introduction.
SVJ Roadster.
Yeah, that was the launch color.
Looks beautiful.
Again, those little touches really make it stand out.
And not so much that you're sort of making your wider audience small for the sale.
We can change if someone wants to buy it and wants it in green or whatever.
We can change it easily.
So yeah, basically that was an important thing.
Do something special but not over the top.
And if I tell someone, yeah, we will make a black big Range Rover with golden details.
Then they are like, I don't do that.
It just seems to work so well.
It's just absolutely beautiful.
And these, obviously the UF7 alloys with the full carbon aero discs.
Yeah, it looks incredible.
But look, if someone did want to buy this and they did want it stealth, black, black, black.
Then they could just have these removed and have them in black.
But I quite like it.
The touch.
I mean, obviously this is nowhere near as customized as that beautiful Defender.
Correct.
But it's still got these lovely little touches that make it stand out from a normal black with black Range Rover.
And that's a nice contrast.
Because we can do some small details and leave it all black.
Or we can go all over.
So yeah, I think it's a good balance.
Another very cool car.
Back then, it was two M's.
I said mortgages and then marrying.
Nowadays, it's two M's.
I mean, millions that I'm managing.
Real bad man, don't move with savages.
But bro still brought that Canon in.
I say, bro, if you use it, rise and shoot to protect your family.
Real bad man, don't cause no casualties.
Had to reason gradually.
Had to talk that talk like this ain't Police Academy.
Don't be mad at me.
I did not come here to bring in anarchy.
That battery, leave it gradually.
But a bad man knows that he ain't gonna live his life with flattery.
Man, a real bad man, ask Carlos.
Right guys, thank you very much for watching.
I think this episode has proved that you can have your urban vehicle any way you want.
Paint, leather, caliper colors, wraps.
It's all there open to you.
