Getting your car to be featured in car magazine can have many benefits.

First, it will give a good documentation of your modified Car for your effort and secondly, it
will give a good exposure for your car if you are thinking of selling it.

However, since there are millions of cars out there on the road, how can one attract
the attention of Car Magazine to feature your tuned car?

Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose Custom BMW M3 was featured in 3 Car Magazines.

1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)

Car magazines works like newspapers, they need news to sell more magazines, hence to make the magazines notice you, you need to make and create news for them. If your car has the first new special parts from a car tuner, that would be ideal as it will create news and attention of readers.

2. BE DIFFERENT: create a whole unique car:

The best thing to do is to start off with your mind to create something different and unique to your own liking, of course according to your taste. You don’t want to create a unique car only to dislike it after the modifications. People want to see something out of the ordinary. “Specials” always attract attention. But remember to do with good taste otherwise it will only attract negative feedback. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to parts from one car tuner, you may mix with products of other car tuners or even from other makes of car tuning companies.

3. CUSTOMISED MODIFICATIONS: ATTENTION TO DETAIL:

Custom modifications attracts attention, it shows creativity and uniqueness too, that nobody else’s has. Car Magazines want to show unique parts to the world and people will want to buy the magazines to read and to check out the new parts.

4. BRIGHT COLOURS:

Car magazines love BRIGHT colored car, so if your modified car is of that, you have a point ahead of other car owners. You may have noticed this in all other front cover of magazines too. So if you plan to repaint your car, catch attention and make it to the cover, choose bright! (please note: choose a bright color that you can live with!)

5. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MAGAZINES:

Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a unique car to feature. Find a suitable car magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a tuner, you may want to ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they should have direct contacts to the publishers.

If you have a tuned unique car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it. Just think of it this way, all Car magazines need unique cars to feature in their magazines every month! (At least seven cars per magazine issue). Where are they going to get hold of these special cars? If you have one special car and feel like getting it featured, get some good photos now and email them. You just have to let Car publishers know of the existence of your Unique Car. Good Luck!
