Nice set of standard wheels ... Funny how they were kerbed and shitty with the nastiest of tyres and then Hey presto. They Turn up at Edds and they are refurbed with new tyres with no mention of it in the costs

Where were they kerbed and shitty? They were mint in that guy's store.

Besides, the end result was mint. I'd have happily handed over the asking price!

I thought the same thing! Did you also notice that the new tyres were "Runway" ditchfinders. Lovely!

I was actually pleasantly surprised. A few bits didn't tie up like the above refirbished wheels, the claimed 380-400 bhp and at the end where Mike said "its the fastest Cossie I've ever been in but nice and standard as you can see" but all in all nowhere near as terrible as I expected it to be. They certainly didn't bodge anything although they didn't show us under the bonnet when done. I wonder if that bleed valve was removed?

Anyway, no harm done to us cossie owners and they turned a barry boy car into a respectable looking Saph.

Watched it and thought it was ok. Wasn't as bad asthey usually are by a long shot. Mike Brewer is still a bit of a tool and I was gobsmacked seeing the 4 spoke steering wheel get replaced for a naff stock one but hey, also being a 4x4 shouldn't it have been on Ssharktooth alloys rather than the lattice ones it ended on?

I enjoyed teh episode and it was nice to see the Cosworth portraded in a different light to how it normally is.

Watched another today where they did an Audi Quattro, nice to see them getting stuff painted properly rather than rattle canning stuff now.

No it should have been on the lattice alloys, sharktooths were off the late spec saphs.

My J plate 4x4 came with lattice wheels in the boot and i was told they were the originals.



I liked the way that brewer gave the car a proper thrash to see what 0-60 he could get then turned the car off before he had even come to a stop lol

Also the way he kept hitting and kicking the car lol

He was pointing out that it's simply easier to pay someone to do it properly rather than cock it up yourself.
