Maybe we could have "Chav my ride", where they come round and stick stupidly large spoilers on the back of punto's Burberry seats, you know the whole works
And...Originally Posted by Atomic
Yes I know its coming, what I said is it wont work......
Well it will prob be ok as they are hardly gonna choose a chavs car as they're 'pimped' (if you can say that) already. Itll be the student hunk of junk cars they pimp so might be worth a look.Originally Posted by [GSV]Trig
Still it is Carisma Automotive Design who are doing the pimping, so thats all good.
I heard tim westwood *might* be presenting it too

*shudders*
Sounds like there good guys really tho eh...
Took the missis car to Carisma (after she'd had the car done..). We wanted the car to go back to Fulfords, where it was originally done (bodywork) Wanted gauge pod stitched, and front bumper ammended to take the IC. We also "mentioned" that we might venture to the idea of new wider wings to prevent any rubbing... We get a quote of about £900 to do just the wing. No agreeing words were said. Next thing we know, we get a fax, they have taken the wing off the car, put a whole new wing on from an astra, spent a day making a custom one, the cost £3000+. WE said basically, what the hell do you think your doing. THEN we find out its at another bodyshop completly, not Fulfords!!! BY this time, Donna is livid!!!!
We found out from Greg that Jamie had lost his rag because we said no (scuse me, we never said yes...), kicked her original wing accross the bodyshop..
Even Greg says he hated working their now, Jamie had become a to55er. His wife left him (good girl...). He lost the taste of doing it because he loved it, and went into the money money money, fame, type atitude.
In the end, the car was taken backt o Fulfords (according the Jamie, it was only driven to the other bodyshop), we picked the car up, the engien was in a state. According to a few clued up vaux nuts we know, the clutch looked as though it had been driven from 4th from 0mph and bascially given a good caining.
Considering the clutch was new when it went in, and the car was driven from Kent to Colchester at 50mph (cos the bumper was not done yet), we find this hard to accept that Donnas driving done this. About 5-10 miles from colchester the clutch was slipping really badly.
The effect, 1 screwed clutch, 1 screwed flywheel, 3 days before we were meant to go to Germany.
Luckily 2 DECENT firms, (LMStyling, and V-Tuning) LMS took the gearbox back off, took it down to Henrik who converted the speedo ring in the F28 (as it was off), then LMStyling put a nice lightweight SBD flywheel in, and a new clutch, then re-attached it back to the car, in the middle of the night, with complaining neighbours!!! LMStyling saved the day really!!
Jamie denied all responsibility for it and basically told us to f-off.
Never mind the fact she had spent so much money over 3-4 year there.
Jamie at Carisma = TOTAL coont!!
