Kustom Kolors' Open Day 2017
Following the success of their previous events, Kustom Kolors decided to open their doors to the public again this year. Based down in Christchurch on the South Coast (right on our doorstep), Kustom Kolors are expert vehicle refinishers specialising in custom paint, restorations, and crash repairs. You’ll also find that they can help with pretty much anything auto-related, including servicing and even air installation. With so many shared interests, it made perfect sense to team up with Colin (KK’s head honcho) and the team to bring you 2017’s Open Day. The whole ethos behind our event was to create something with a chilled vibe, tasteful music, good food (not the usual boring burger van) thanks to ‘The Laughing Street Chef‘ and of course some incredible cars. It worked out as a perfect opportunity for friends to meet up and spend the day with each other, as well as meeting other local’s who may have not this sort of thing before (and by that I mean slammed cars!). Oh, and we had the amazing Jimmy’s Iced Coffee in attendance, too, seeing as they’re based across the road from Kustom Kolors HQ. They were kind enough to keep everyone hydrated and enthused with lots of FREE iced coffee. What more could you want?

With double the attendance of last year, the Open Day was a massive success! We managed to raise just shy of £300 for pancreatic cancer, too, thanks to your kind donations. To all those who came down, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Our Pop-Up Store was up and the new ‘Smoke & Gasoline’ capsule collection was also flying out – thanks for all the purchases. It’s an unbelievable feeling to witness how big of a local following Slam Sanctuary actually has. Giving everyone a place to meet up and hang out is what it’s all about… So, who’s up for next year? We’re already putting a plan of action together – stay tuned. For now, don’t forget to have a browse of the Bonus Gallery below for a few more shots. See you next time.
