There are a couple coming I think? One of them is a YouTuber who wraps cars in coloured cling film innit though bro and the other is Goblin Works Garage on Quest. Both look pretty poor to be honest with lots of ''on screen chemistry'' and ''humour''.
I don't think these are going to be intentionally funny.

It's going to be funny for us. Kinda like Leepu's creations.

They will likely be distasteful, hateful, and hastily screwed together / bodged.

Fully expect to see a few "creations" feature on here when the show/s airs.

There W's one where Leepu did a 924 for David Ginola (for his son's birthday IIRC). Stuck a turbocharger on it ( not a proper Porsche one of course) and cobbled up the bodywork as usual. The lad took it for a spin and the sunroof fell off.

My 5 year old watches a show called "Ali-A's Superchargers" on CBBC, it's like Pimp My Ride but with kids jazzing up their parents cars, the above looks like something they would produce if the BBC took away the license fee and they lost their budget completely.

I bet "sideways sid" has an old E36 2.5 drift slag (still a 318i on the logbook)
fking hell...



What happens when you give a fool from the “vlogging generation” a TV show.


Much like every other idiot from the new generation of YouTube
I've toyed with a similar look for my Saab estate using Swedish naval colours and camo pattern, but I'm middle-aged and should probably just sort out the scratches properly instead of hiding them.

I should probably also seek some kind of help.

I think its an alright idea. they must've been inspired by James May's lotus caravan from Top Gear no doubt.

Well executed but abysmally designed. Whoever did that could probably have done a very nice subtle customisation job. What a waste.

There's bits of that Anglia I like and plenty to not.

The rear spoiler looks like it belongs on a 911.

I really like that from the front and sides.
The rear spoiler is a little......unresolved?

I don't know the background to the build, running gear etc, but so much work's obviously gone into it yet the finished article just doesn't work for me. Escort X pack-style box arches, Sierra(?) front and back bumpers and a ridiculous rear spoiler just don't work with the distinctive angular (pun intended) shell. Shame.
