This was our second shoot with Lara Lou and her now infamous matt black Ford Capri.

The car is now almost unrecognisable from the first time we shot the car so we couldn't wait to do a follow up. This time we got Lara and the Capri together at Fuel Zone in Harlow which provided a great back drop to a great shoot.

Lara Lou

The pimpster crew have been been friends with Lara Lou since the beginning, which led to Lara being the first ever pimpster feature girl, so it was great to catch up with Lara again for this follow up shoot.

Most visitors to this site will already be familiar with Lara Lou and her appearances with various companies and magazines all over Europe and Lara's Capri can often be found close by. The choice of a Capri as a base car was always intriguing, but the final result has definitely proved all the doubters wrong!

The Capri has evolved over time to become as distinctive as its owner and receives just as much attention. Many of the top names in the modifying world have been involved with making this car as good as it looks today (read the spec below for further details).
