Siedentopf played no favorites when it came to selecting which cars would be temporarily modified into Slapdash Supercars. The nine chosen cars run the gamut from practical workaday econoboxes to a gold BMW. In real life, it wouldn’t be unusual to come across any of these vehicles tricked out with aftermarket “go fast” goodies, albeit at a considerable cost should the owner spring for a full suite of mods.
Having come of age in car-crazy Los Angeles, Siedentopf has received plenty of exposure to hot-rod culture. Back in Amsterdam, however, he feels something is lacking when it comes to cars as extensions of the owner’s personality. “We live in a time where individuality, self-expression and status are at an all-time peak,” explains Siedentopf. “We want to personalize everything to be unique; however, for some reason the individualization of one’s car has drastically decreased over the past few years.”
Perhaps the expense of both aftermarket mechanical mods and the complexity of today’s automobiles has discouraged car-owners from personalizing their rides to resemble what their fertile imaginations have been conjuring up. “Resultant out of this realization,” continues Siedentopf, “I tried to think of a way to make the most ordinary cars, for just a few euros, into their own supercar.” With Siedentopf’s slapdash refinements and the benefit of a dark Dutch night, what was only wondered about before was rendered into reality.
