2009 Miss Tuning Finalists' Photos

The Tuning World Bodensee Show, the first big European tuning show of 2009, set to debut in Friedrichshafen, Germany on April 30 has designated the final 20 candidates for the Miss Tuning 2009 contest. The girls were chosen from the initial 350 candidates and the winner will be awarded a Seat Ibiza SC for a full year and become the official ambassador of the tuning industry.

Until the event starts and we begin bringing you news about the cars present there, we thought of entertaining you with the photos of the final 20. The girls, ages between 19 and 29, will come to the event not only from Germany, but from Austria or Switzerland as well.

We took a very close (very, very close) look at all the girls. Of course, eventually we decided who we would chose, and who we would not. If it were up to us, Miss Tuning 2009 should be... Well, sorry, it's not up to us. And since you jumped right down to the photos and video below, our opinion doesn't really matter, now does it?

To those who did have the strength to read rather than watch (frankly, we would have skipped to the photos as well), we tell you that the winner of the contest will be chosen by a jury comprised of Timo Scheider (DTM champion in 2008), Bernd Hiemer (SuperMoto Champion in 2008), Wolfgang Groener (Wochenblatt chief editor), Ralf Becker (autobild.de), Gerhard Wiest (label.m), Daniela Grimm (Miss Tuning 2008), Lina van der Mars (Falcons), Eddie Paul (U.S. tuner), Ludger Hartz (Tourist Board British Virgin Islands) and Katharina Kuhlmann (Miss tuning 2003).
