Skoda’s superpram is turning heads

First, we have supercars and now, there are superprams! Skoda has unveiled its all terrain Mega Man-Pram which features all terrain tyres and hydraulic suspension. Skoda sees this man-pram as the ultimate baby carrier which is fit for a king. It is supersized and it commands attention, especially judging from the pictures of the Man-Pram which have now gone viral all over the Internet.

The inspiration for the Man-Pram was to create a car-like feel to every day products. This is why a pram was chosen and judging from the Man-Pram’s proportions, Skoda’s designers and engineers took this project seriously.

The Man-Pram is the companion to the Octavia vRS from Skoda. The Man-Pram came to be because of research done into how fathers deal with
having children. A survey of around 1,000 fathers found that the majority of them would spend more money on prams if there was one stylish enough for them. This is why the Man-Pram has these gigantic 20” alloys that do more than just grab attention.  In addition to alloys, it has high-specification brakes and wing mirrors.

Talk about luxury modifications, this is the pram for men who love supercars and want this aesthetic injected into the prams for their children. We can’t promise we can help refurbish your pram, but our technicians are on hand to offer great advise on your alloy wheels. Give us a call on 0845 370 8881 now!

Staff Interview with our Diamond Cut Specialist Kevin

1. How long have you been working at Diamond Alloys?
I’ve been working for Diamond Alloys for two months and I already feel part of the team.

 

2. What did you do before?
I was a delivery driver for a furniture company.

 

3. Why did you decide to get into the motor industry?
I have always had an interest in motor vehicles.

 

4. What do you specialise in?
I specialise in Diamond Cutting alloy wheels.

 

5. What is a lathe?
It is a large piece of machinery specially designed for Diamond Cutting alloy wheels. Basically it precision cuts off a very thin layer of the alloy, just enough to remove any damage done by kerbing.

 

6. What specialist training have you had for using a lathe?
Before staring at Diamond Alloys I had two days intense training which allowed me to gain the expertise I needed to deal with any cut required,  these are specialist skills so the training was essential.

 

7. Why is our Diamond Cut finish so popular?
It is a special and unique finish and very popular thanks to the amazing finished effect it creates. I believe a Diamond Cut finish is the best an alloy can get!

 

8. What do you recommend customers should do to keep their alloy wheels shinning after a diamond cut finish?
I would recommend they clean each alloy at least once a week with warm soapy water, avoid using acidic or chemical cleaners and polish. Avoiding acidic cleaners is important because they affect the condition of your wheels, which could result in you having to have more refurbishments than actually needed.

 

9. Why should customers avoid a mobile repair service?
Because they only touch up the wheels which means they just repair the damaged area. In fact you cannot get a Diamond Cut repair done by a mobile repair company, so you need to bring it into a specialist alloy wheel repair company like Diamond Alloys.

 

10. What motivates you to do a good job?
I take pride in my work and I am very self-motivated.

 

11. What part of your job you enjoy most?
Meeting a happy customer! Knowing that they are pleased with the work that Diamond Alloys have done.

 

12. Are you a big car fan?
I get excited about cars so I guess you could say that I am.

 

 13. If you could drive any car, what would it be, where could you drive it and who would be your passenger?
A Ferrari FF and it wouldn’t matter where I drove it as long as I had a gorgeous lady with me. Not too picky at the moment.

 

14. What do you do in your spare time?
Relax, meet friends and family.

 

15. Do you have any ambitions outside work?
When I was a child I always wanted to be a professional footballer…a million miles away from alloy refurbishment, I know.

 

16. What are three things you can’t live without?
Food, drink and Oxygen…I am not really materialist!

 

17. What are your alloy wheels like?
I don’t have a car at the moment. Due to where I live it is easier for me to use public transportation oppose to driving.

Wheelsandmore’s Mercedes E63 AMG S

Wheelsandmore’s work ethic is seen by their work rate. The aftermarket tuner has released some pictures of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-model. This model is the replacement of the AMG Performance package. The S-Model trim gives the car more stature when you look at it. Before Wheelsandmore got their hands on this car, the 5.5 litre V8 engine gave the car 577 horsepower. With 590 Nm of torque, this car definitely keeps up in the performance arena

Wheelsandmore have upped the ante and now the output has gone up to 700 horsepower and razor-sharp 811 Nm of torque. Wheelsandmore achieved this by adding a new exhaust system and a CRP-F1 package kit.

We love the finish on the alloy wheels, which have a matt black finish which really highlights the orange brake callipers. These matt black custom alloys also make a superb contrast to the fashionable white bodywork.

If you like this bespoke finish on this Mercedes and you are looking for something similar, call us on 0845 370 8881 and discuss your alloy wheel refurbishment options with our trained technicians.
