AFTER THE RACE ‘GULF 2’ If TopGear did art, it would look something like this. After The Race takes genuine steel bonnets (or fibreglass reproducti­ons for €2,000 less) and doors from old 911s, then paints and ages them with “oil, tyre rubber and other ingredient­s we keep secret” so they look like they’ve come straight off a racecar. They’re handmade, so each one’s unique, and there’s a load of liveries on offer. Gulf, Martini, Rothmans, the lot – or you can commission your own. Delivery takes four weeks. Worth the wait, we reckon. Price from €2,911; afterthera­ce.be

FALLEN FURNITURE EXHAUST LAMP

Why exhaust lamp? Because the head, shade or whatever you want to call it is the exhaust from a BAE 146’s jet engine – sanded, polished and heated for effect. Oh, and it stands over 6ft tall. Big house required. £5,999; fallenfurn­iture.com

RIVA 1920/LAMBORGHIN­I DYNAMIK SOFA

Lambo has diversifie­d into sofas. It’s partnered up with Riva 1920 – manufactur­er of lovely Italian furniture - for the “Authentic Living” collection, which has stuff like this in it. Wonder how many parts it shares with the Aventador? £POA; riva1920.it
