Carisma aren't that bad. West Coast Customs don't do anything that amazing tbh. Repsray, wheels, and some sort of install.

We haven't been told whether we're doing it or not yet, we find out Monday apparently according to MTV. But thenn word has it that Carisma have been going round saying they've got it! so unless they're counting their chickens, it pretty much answers that question for us 
Never mind we're doing some filming at the track that The Stig goes round for top gear next month for the london school of film, should be

Carisma do their own bodywork now, went up there a couple weeks ago on some business. Fulfords had their own stand at max live this year and are trying to push their own stuff now

WCC are good, but from a bodyshops point of view, they do bodge some bits, its quite scary that they actually show it sometimes. Did you know that they only ever spray the outside of the cars, they never spray the shuts

Ha ha, Fulfords are by far the best bodyshop in the area here, the work went down hill but the crx and a few other cars i have seen lately were nice!
There trying to get away from rip off merchant jamie shaw!
Greg left carisma for nemesis and he was the back bone of carisma in my eyes!
I think midas have the all round facilities to sort it.

my out look on PIMP my Ride UK.
The way I see it Carisma are aiming (doign TVR's Porsches) at the high end of the market in terms of modifiying. Now the cars they will be getting for this progrom will be quite frankly shiters! So do you think this will do their reputation from the high end of customers point of view any favours? MTV will want a quick turn around and WCC have obviously got a large unit, a large staff, supply and do all the work in house. As far as I am aware do Carsima have this? Also are they prepared to knock any 'real' customers back due to the demand of this show will have upon them? As far as I am aware within the TV industry money is not as great as they would have you beleive, I know a few people within my trade that have done work for these house make over programs and they have been asked to do the work for very cheap if not free for the advertisment they get at the end within the credits. How many times is WCC mentioned in each episode usually?? That must be a way for MTV to pay them in the form of free direct advertising?
So could Carima afford to do this bearing in mind they need to do it quick, on a budget and still show there level of quailty and skill?
Now this is the main point I have about this, how do you think the UK public will react to these cars within the modified car mags and maybe at shows if thats what they are into?? Will Carisma or who ever does it work be scrutanised? Seeing the 'over the top' theme cars that MTV will obviously want will that make you want to go to them for work in the future after watching the program?
Will it be the death of them? It wouldnt be the first company to be shafted by the TV people!
Rich I would not be that bothered if you dont get it!
