That would be epic in terms of depths plunged and ‘style’
Martin Kemp might be up for it...perhaps a secret present for Shirley.

Is just me... or did Helz look, er.... different ?
My wife passed comment about the pouty lips if that's what yo mean.

Trout and all....
Her face looked narrower.... higher cheek bones
( also looked a bit pale / drawn)
But what do I know... I’m only a bloke.

Don’t know... wasn’t looking that closely to be honest
There was a girl with a nice set of ‘mutton chops’ though.

There used to be a Speedway rider in the 70’s who has a right bushy set, so we called em” Tommy Leadbitters.

I actually think Leepu has more skills than the Goblin goons and being worse than that takes some doing! laugh

Another ruined car! The bloke even said that there was one part he didn't like laugh

If it had been a mint condition show car, a track car, or a demo car etc (anything but a normal road car) That wrap would have worked, but not with that awful rivet effect part on it.

I don't understand why they showed the tuned up one ? They need not have bothered, they only put a front mount on it, and did nothing else!

It was a banger.

I'm no mechanic TBH, but wouldn't just adding a front mount make sod all difference without a remap?

Bonnet gaps above the headlights on the Golf looked huge (unless it was a trick of the light), and if they painted the Porsche completely I'd say there were pink pork based creatures flying overhead with the amount of swirl marks shown on it

A first for GWG, the car looked better after they had worked on it. Not a fan of green on a car and most people do not like green either however the owner seemed pleased.

Not the usual crazy ideas, sensible modifications at last.

They are turning into a restoration show!

I think you've given them too much credit.

They bought a naff kit for it, then realised it was naff & looked awful. The front of the car after they had finished it looked like it needed finishing, the mesh they put in front of the intercooler barely seemed visible, so you could see a big open red area round it where they hadn't wrapped it. If you're having it exposed like that, at least tidy it all up.

The steering wheel & gear stick gator were awful. I get that they wanted to do a nod to his reptile collections, but they looked bad.

They could have at least got rid of the standard seats and got some nicer seats for it. The wouldn't have cost that much & would have fitted in with the look of the rest of the car.

Quote of the show though - Helen putting her hand through the split in the rear screen announcing that no, it won't keep out water. Yep, no s**t!! Then you saw the rest of it.

Fair that it wasn't rusty, but it was fifty shades of red beforehand & his TSW wheels were awful.

Yes lark but it was still much improved on their previous improvements.

I agree with you workmanship leaves a lot to be desired, would you leave a car in this state? I doubt it most people take a pride in their work and this fell short. Compared to previous efforts though much improved!

The wrap was starting to bubble on the front bumper too. That said I liked it, love those wheels on an MX5.

Did I hear right? Wrap cost 3000 could they not have painted it for that?
