I do have a modicombe of respect for some of the stuff the peeps at carisma automotive come out with - but seriously, couldn't they have sprayed the fucking engine bay? It's like an extra days work to strip it out and sand it down.
This just looks so gash with the wrong colour:

Pity it wasn't parked round the corner - You could have made a great shot with the 'Pratt Street' sign showing!
When I was a kid, there was a wool and knitting supplies shop near me that had yellow tinted windows to stop the stock fading in the sunlight.
Maybe we're being a bit harsh on the chap and all he wants to do is to preserve the vibrant colours of his selection of tea-cosy hats?

Erm, have you read this thread or are you just commenting on the pretty pictures? The car was done by MTV.

Which will be why it was parked two streets away from the MTV studios in the original pic no doubt, and why the engine bay hasn't been touched.
A firm I once contracted to did a similar thing for MTV with an A/V fit-out on a VW camper van once just after the vehicle had come from the paint shop. They'd just loosely filled the rust and sprayed over it with all the 'wacky' MTV scheme. No point in doing a proper job as it only has to look good for one TV show anyway.

Because everyone knows that it's cool to be black, but white people are uptight square-ass honkies. Tsk, don't you know anything, after all your grandad's probably white, and how cool is he? Wiggle ma twizzle, fo drizzle!
Thing is, they're not actually pretending to be black, they're just pretending to be 'gangsta'. Pretending to be black could mean just about anything, I don't see many pasty-white chavs pretending to be Chris Eubank...
As for the car...only someone as deluded as Westwood could even consider 'pimping' such a pile of crap. |
Niall, chris eubank is pretending to be white.

| I know the police make people rip off dark tints on their front windows because you can't see through them into/out of the car, but making someone rip off urine tints that were quite see-through seems a bit mean. |

Not for about 3 years, no.

Looks like Marsh Farm to me.
I used to live in Barton Hills, which backs onto that area. You'd get a good view of the riots every summer. I wish I'd had a balcony as I could have munched my strawberries and cream whilst watching this time-honoured Luton pastime with its soundtrack of the traditional "Crack" of Willow on Chav.

Compared to Hockwell Ring, Marsh Farm is very desirable.

Right again FBB.
The more I look at that, the more it looks like "The little HR".
A Shat-Hole of monumental proportions as you quite rightly imply.

I've just realised where it is, down off Park Street if I'm not very much mistaken, which would better explain random wonderings. Anyone walking around Marsh Farm or Hockwell Ring is very lost.

I revert back to my ramblings last year about 'if you had one nuclear bomb' discussion with luton being my personal choice for detonation of such device.
Eugh - to luton and the car.
