Working in his domestic garage, Manfred Santer constructed a styling kit for his trusty Opel Kadett. It was made up of no fewer than 15 pieces and may have faded into obscurity, except that his friends liked it and wanted one. So Manfred made more. And more. And then set up MS Design so that he could make even more of the things.

By 1987 Manfred had switched from using messy glass fibre to PU-RIM for his body parts. And his range had moved beyond Opels. Indeed, MS Design was now an international company.

Today MS Design (Exklusives Autozubehbr) Auto Tuning GmbH has 110 employees and distributors throughout the world - including Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, France, America, Japan and England (LS Design).

The company's 200-page catalogue lists styling options for most European and Japanese cars - from Alfa to Volkswagen via Hyundai and Mercedes. There's also a range of MS Design wheels, rear silencers and tailpipes, lowering springs, gear knobs and steering wheels. Many parts are supplied direct to car makers and are either listed in their accessory catalogues or used to create special edition models.
