What a knob!!!

I think that sums it up although im not sure which one was worse westknob or the youth who's car it was!

"That is sick man"

I think thats the comment he had when he saw it, and yes i would be inclined to agree it certainly did look like sick!!!!

yeah ok thats hip hop and gangster...

how old is the westwood guy like 40? does he try to rap or sumthin? this whole thing is embarasing to watch.

i actually felt very sorry for the guy whose car it was. they did all that work with the result being a very average lookin car with horrible paint and colour scheme. white aqua brown yuck ... and at the end it drives off still blowing heaps of smoke??? wtf and the girl at the start said its always breaking down. so the dudes left with a disgusting cheap looking peice of unreliable shit that couldnt win a race with against a disabled person on a pogo stick...

very sad indeed

Sorry if i upset anyone, but why mod a 4 door 316i auto? Also the bloke uses the car to get him and his mates about and there training equipment, so why the f**k did they fill his boot up with a crap punch bag that he'll never use! I would have done him a favour and brought a e30 tourer, which would have been more practicle for him, and then pimped that.

Hmmm... I was expecting worse! Those wheels look awesome on the right car (someone had them on the old zone a couple of years ago on a black cab iirc?) & I reckon if it'd been painted black, a lot of it would have tied in much better...

jamie realy has lost the plot with that one.
seen some of his newer bmw,s and look ok.
he did do my interior with white leather and black piping.
but what i asked for i got.
that guy didnt have a choice.
personally i think he moddeled the car color to match his sick hair.
not even going to comment on wastewood.

Thats a big statement coming from someone with Escort bonnet vents :roll:

However, I used to drive MTV staff around, and picked up a team of peeps working on PMRUK, I told them to read forums for what the modding/car loving public really think of 'Wedgewood' - I now realise they never ever did winkeye

Whoever says those wheels are shit should be shot! They were awesome, theyd be more suited to a nice lincon continental or somthing though, tbh i expected worse, it wernt amazing but at least they didnt put lexus lights on it !

Wont ever watch it again!!! Im not sure if its just that Im not 'down' with Westwood's 'vibe' in making poor cars 'live man' and 'sick' or the fact that they murdered an already poorly car into a smoking piece of shit.

Those wheels would only suit some lowriding american thing with boing boing suspension and that vinyl roof looks like something from a Datsun 120y.

not as bad as i expected to be honest! 8O the suicide rear doors are supahfly and something i'd like on my own car, i love the wire-spoke wheels (although not really working on that) and it's quite low on nasty additions - still don't work though :roll: the whole concept of pmruk doesn't work as far as i'm concerned, i'll watch the us version over and over for entertainment (and now and again they'll turn out something sweet, like the aqua '67 mustang i saw on a repeat last night), but rainy grey old britain and the "garage" doesn't have the same "watch me" appeal as sunny california and west coast customs does it? and i'll defend westwood, twat that he is, after all he's done a lot for hip-hop music in this country, but he's not x to the z is he?

major irritants : jamie "twat" shaw and his stupid fcuking hairstyle and his potato head giving it "that's not a strong look for you dog" SHUT UP YOU ARSE! and the owner of the sorry shed going "that's sick man, sick" (not wrong there matey) and his mates who said they wouldn't get in the car before being all over it when it gets back (still smoking :? ). if i was that nerdy guy i'd be like "no, fcuk off, you wouldn't get in it when it was burgundy and battered, now its blue and shiney and gay you still can't get in it, walk you cnunts" :evil:

The whole thing is so staged and that's the shows biggest problem. Not to mention the 50p budget they have too :D

As for Westwood, he needs to look in the mirror and realise that he's a White Country Boy (No offence intended) and not some gangster form the hood. Just be who or what you are and be fcuking proud of it.

As for Jamie, he use to be the Daddy when it came to the modding scene, but now he's lost the plot. That Morris Minor was an embarassment with lots of over runs on the paint etc. I was schocked he 'd want to put his name to it :(

LowE30 had those rims on his cabby... and it looked amazing with the hard-top, etc. Was wondering about a set myself someday...

Lost on the Pimp car though. Waste of time and money. Still, could have been a lot worse.

Watched it online last night and I have to be honest I thought it wasnt that bad! Not my cup of tea obviously, but it was no where near as bad as some of the ones they have done! At least the car was in better condition when they finished! Also, being a 316i 4 door auto it was only likely to end up in a scrapyard before long otherwise!

What I struggle to understand is... whether its been done to good or bad taste,,, how they can justify spending money on a vehicle when the driver/owner has such a disregard for cars...


do they honestly think a guy that leaves banana peels on his dash is seriously going to get on his ass and clean 480 individual spokes,,, he wont even clean the shit off his roof!


he'll run the car into the ground himself, you wont need to fire bomb it.

I did think that myself, however its only a TV program and it was a car that was 2 feet from the great scrap yard in the sky - so I see no problem with it... If it had been a slightly ropey 325i Sport then thats different!!

my main problem with the show is that its basicly a before and after shot of the car, with someone spraying the camera lens in between. i want to see more of how its done, not some guy thats been told to jump about, and looks akward when doing so!

i think the whole new fast and furious/pimp my ride style is vile, its not sporty or cool its just shit, people seem to just look through them loser mags like max power or fast car and then whatever they can find in the classifieds that fits there car they buy whether it looks good or not. its just sad

westwood is the biggest chutney ferret i've ever seen on my life!!! the bloke is a complete COCK!!!

the wheels were nice, but not on that car, the suicide doors were cool, and the angel eyes were a smart idea, but everything else is a complete f*cking mess!!!

although, i did like how they made the centre arm rests for the front and the rear...

but seriously, westwood should be shot and set on fire!!!

I've always thought that Pimp My Ride is pretty shoddy when it comes to bodywork & paint.

For me Overhaulin does it right and nearly all look the bollocks when they're done although I could do with less of the prank stuff and more of A.J. the female presenter winkeye
