The Tuning World Bodensee once again register a new visitor record. DOTZ also got a lot of attention with the DD1 and DOTZ Girl Maria

Apart from having a new design this year’s DOTZ booth was also the first attention-getter for trade show visitors as DOTZ presented its rims straight in the foyer. Needless to say, Maria, our DOTZ Girl 2017, proved an additional eye catcher. TWB 2017 Artikelbild 02

The “suicide doors” in the traditional classic car style and the 20-inch spokes wheels protruding far from the chassis created a look as we know it from cars in the 1920s to 1940s. The winning car’s roof was chopped with lowered car pillars and adjusted panes.TWB 2017 Artikelbild 20
