... that is a cerb, and it looks awful.

I can not for one moment imagine what inspired them to do that to it, it has imo ruined an amazing car.

ps. If I am mistaken, sorry!

edited, ok ok, "Hideous" was a bit strong.
I do have a lot of admiration for the people that do this kind of work, and especially to such high quality.
I'm just glad Cerbs were never designed like that originally. I wouldn't own one now.

Sorry guys.....I love it!

Saw it before it was released on the unsuspecting world. Went down to Jamie's unit and had a really good look at it too.

Don't like the interior colour, would not have been my choice, but love the bodywork.
Jamies bought it to the Mid Essex Meet the week before it was launched to the public, so we had a sneak preview.

I have defended this car sooooo many times on soooo many threads.

It is still being talked about two years after Jamie finished it.

I believe it was recently sold on ebay.

I must admit, in my days of buying max power (there.. I've said it!) i really did enjoy reading about the car... I'd love to see it, as I've heard very good things about Jamie Shaw's workmanship, so the quality of the build will no doubt be fantastic, even if it isn't to most people's taste!

First impression - I hate it with every fibre of my body and the creator should burn in hell - thats the easy thing to shout.

On reflection - if you look closely at the result and think a little as to what is going on in the mind of the creator (emphasising lines, enhancing agresiveness, standing out in the crowd ....artistic licence!) then hats off - thats the dfficult bit to admit.

I cant help but agree. I hated the colour, the spoiler, and a few other bits but respect the amount of blood sweat and tears that went into building what is otherwise a good car.

Me too.
It was recently (3/4 months ago) sold on ebay I think, and went for £40k/£50K ish...Cant remember. The systems inside the car were amazing.

I think if they did it in black it would look amazing in the new Batman film as the Bat Mobile!

I have read various threads about this car this morning, and it seemed the car was only done to achieve publicity, which it did. Its not someone's pride and joy Nova that they have spent months buying all the bits Halfords sell to stick on it and think is the best looking, fastest beast in the world. I mean if any of you read the Metro every day and see what one modding company did to a Punto, its done bloody well!

I don't think you'd want one on your drive as it is just too OTT, but its beats the hell out of a lot of the mass produced boxes driving round the roads

Yeah! But you lost the decapitator device on the back and think the cross spokes in black would look more menacing

I seem to remember that picture was in a thread of 'toned down' design not looking that bad.

Sure did, and it sure was. Quite liked it once I'd removed some of the ornamentation, etc.

Jamie's work, apart from body kits, is primarily in fitting anything electrical in your car....from stereo and sound systems, DVDs, cameras....anything.....

The Carisma Cerb was a showpiece for what his company does.
It has been all over the world and featured in most car magazines.

The sound system in it is amazing.

This is a picture of it taken at Duxford....well what you can see of it!!!!
