This is part one of a two part feature from Skill Customs in Marple, Stockport. We spotted Ric's mind-blowing Civic at the Fast Show at Santa Pod, where it won our Interior & Exterior of the show awards. Ric got in touch via our forum and a feature shoot was soon arranged! Ric explained that the work to the car was all carried out at Skill Customs bodyshop and that we could do the shoot there. We were like kids in a sweet shop when we arrived, with not just Ric's car in the workshop but some other special cars too, but more of that in the next feature...

Heidi

We were joined for the shoot by the gorgeous Heidi. Heidi's been a good friend of pimpster for a long time and it was great to finally shoot her as a feature model for the site. Heidi's bubbly personality, beautiful blonde hair and huge 30FF boobs made it a cracking shoot! Heidi loved the pimpster shoot and has promised to return for a follow up later in the summer, so make sure you bookmark pimpster!

Heidi worked at most of the shows during 2006 and is keen to get back to the show scene. Heidi has been working in modelling, promotional work and dancing since 2003 and can be contacted by clicking here.
