A parts list is only as good as the plan behind it. That’s the real takeaway from AUTOID’s A90 Supra build — a project the UK styling brand filmed assembling in under a week and pitched, with typical confidence, as “Europe’s best Supra.” Marketing hyperbole aside, what makes the car worth studying isn’t any single headline part. It’s that a fifth-generation Toyota GR Supra — a car that shares its B58 turbocharged inline-six and much of its chassis with the BMW Z4 — got turned into a cohesive carbon-and-forged show build where the aero, the wheels, the suspension and the drivetrain all point in the same direction. Here’s the full build, part by part, and what each choice teaches about doing an A90 properly.
Why the A90 GR Supra Is Such a Popular Build Base
The A90 — the fifth-generation (MK5) Supra that returned to production in 2019 — arrived as a modern turbocharged coupe with a big aftermarket almost overnight. Part of that is the badge: the Supra name carries decades of tuning heritage. Part of it is the hardware. The B58 3.0-litre single-turbo straight-six is a well-understood, tuner-friendly engine, and because the platform is co-developed with BMW, a lot of proven BMW-world knowledge and parts logic carries across. What the A90 leaves on the table from the factory is visual drama and chassis adjustability — which is exactly the gap a build like AUTOID’s sets out to fill. It leans hard into styling, wheels and suspension rather than chasing a dyno headline, and the parts list reads that way from top to bottom.
The Look: Full ADRO Carbon and CSL-Style DRLs
The centrepiece of the build is a full ADRO carbon-fibre body kit for the A90 MK5. ADRO is known for aggressive, well-fitted carbon aero, and specifying the complete kit rather than a single splitter is what gives the car its all-of-a-piece look — the front, sides and rear read as one design instead of a collection of bolt-ons. It’s carbon for the visual statement first and aero second; on a street-and-show car that’s an honest priority, and it photographs exactly the way the build was clearly planned to.
The other exterior change is smaller but clever: a set of CSL-style yellow DRL modules. Swapping the daytime running lights to that motorsport-flavoured yellow is a low-cost, high-impact nod to BMW’s own hardcore models — a fitting wink given the Supra’s Munich roots — and it ties the front end to the rest of the build’s attitude without touching the wiring loom in any dramatic way.
Wheels: HRE 300 Two-Piece Forged
Nothing sets the tone of a build like the wheels, and AUTOID went straight to the deep end with HRE 300 two-piece alloy wheels. HRE is one of the most recognised names in forged wheels, and the 300-series two-piece construction is a genuine statement piece — the kind of wheel that anchors an entire build’s identity. On a car this focused on stance and presence, the wheel choice isn’t a finishing touch; it’s arguably the foundation the rest of the exterior was styled around. If you’re weighing forged versus cast, fitment and load ratings for your own project, our wheels & tires hub and tire buying guide walk through the trade-offs before you spend.
Suspension: A World-First Nitron Nose-Lift Coilover
This is the part AUTOID makes the biggest claim about, and it’s the most interesting engineering story in the build. The car runs a Nitron R1 coilover kit with an integrated front nose-lift — described in the build as the world’s first Nitron nose-lift setup for the platform. The appeal is obvious once you’ve fitted a full carbon front lip to a low car: a hydraulic or electronic nose-lift raises the front end on demand so a low, aero-heavy build can clear driveways, speed bumps and car-park ramps without scraping thousands of dollars of carbon. Nitron’s R1 is a serious motorsport-grade coilover to begin with, so pairing that damping quality with a practicality feature aimed squarely at low show cars is a genuinely thoughtful combination rather than a gimmick. It’s the clearest example in the whole build of parts chosen to solve a real problem the rest of the spec creates.
Breathing: Eventuri Intake and Milltek Exhaust
The powertrain changes are focused on how the B58 breathes and sounds rather than on chasing big numbers on this particular build. Up front is an Eventuri carbon-fibre intake system — Eventuri is a premium name in intake design, and its carbon housings are as much a visible engine-bay upgrade as a performance one, which fits a build this concerned with presentation. At the back is a Milltek particulate-filter-back exhaust system, meaning it replaces the exhaust from the factory particulate filter rearward. That’s the section that shapes the car’s voice and frees up a little flow while keeping the emissions hardware in place. Together the intake and exhaust are the classic first move on a modern turbo six: better induction and exhaust note, cleaner engine-bay looks, and a platform primed for a future tune. For how these pieces fit into a wider plan, our performance mods hub covers the sensible order to do them in.
Inside: OHC Steering Wheel and TRE Carbon Trim
The cabin gets the same carbon-and-detail treatment as the exterior. A custom OHC steering wheel replaces the factory unit — the single most-touched part of any car, and one of the fastest ways to change how a build feels from the driver’s seat. Alongside it are TRE pre-preg carbon-fibre seat insert trims, tying the interior back to the ADRO carbon outside and lifting the finish of the areas you actually look at every drive. These are small-surface-area, high-visibility upgrades — the kind of details that separate a considered build from a bolt-on parts car, and exactly where a styling-first project should spend its finishing effort.
The Takeaway: A Build Where the Parts Agree With Each Other
“Europe’s best Supra” is a claim you can argue about all day. What’s harder to argue with is the discipline behind the parts list. The full ADRO carbon and CSL-style DRLs set a clear visual theme; the HRE 300s anchor it; the Nitron nose-lift coilovers make that aggressive, low look actually liveable; the Eventuri intake and Milltek exhaust sharpen the breathing and the sound without picking a fight the suspension can’t back up; and the OHC wheel and TRE carbon trim carry the theme into the cabin. Every part answers to the same brief. That’s the real lesson for anyone eyeing their own A90 — or any modern turbo coupe: decide what the car is for first, then let that decision pick the parts, rather than bolting on unrelated upgrades and hoping they add up to a look. AUTOID’s Supra works because it was planned as one car, not assembled as a pile of good parts.
