Dave_ciw 507 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I think what pearsy means is when you do it yourself it may not be as good a finish as a pro job but the fact is you did it yourself and its your mark. dont think he actually lies awake at night disturbed that people arent doing their own work anymore. lol Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, to some extent I understand what you're saying, and I can agree with the point about Performance VW and the cars + owners they feature. Yes it can be frustrating to see these cars with £1000's being rammed in your face when you can't afford to achieve the same results. Maybe they should look at featuring some of these SELF BUILD cars, then maybe we could all aspire to getting the skills and time to do the same. Link to post Share on other sites
