    Pimp My Chair

    One of our colleagues went on holiday last week, so we felt that some kind of prank was needed for when he got back.

    After dismissing the normal things, such as replacing his hard disk with a broken one or photoshopping him into compromising position and setting as he desktop, we settled on pimping his chair.

    This model comes with a quad exhaust, carbon fibre effect paddle shifts, 4.2cm alloy wheels, an 8" Fusion subwoofer for you phat tunes, a rear spoiler (to make it go faster) and some 'racing' stripes.

    We have also given his desk some fluffy dice and his and hers sun visors.

    This is what happens when it is far too quiet in the office.

    That, frankly, is all kinds of awesome.

    Surely you need to Tippex 'Yokahama' on the chair wheels?

    Re: Pimp My Chair

    You know, there's almost certainly a market out there for custom-modded chairs...

    Nice work - that's one prank I wouldn't mind coming back to

    Scarily, we think the guy in question will love it. He used to own an MG ZR with chrome alloys

    No accounting for taste really.

    As for custom modded chairs, we want some of these:

    Shame about the price!

    You can make them yourself, buy a bucket seat and a cheap chair, take the legs off the cheap chair and bolt them to the bucket seat. Sorted!
