After my crash at Snetterton at the last meeting of the year in 2008, I wasted several months debating whether to scrap the car and buy another or to rebuild the one I had.
I decided on the latter but snag followed obstacle and I was getting concerned that I wouldn't get finished in time for the first meeting.
I needed a new rear wing apart from other things. My old one was crushed. And i'd promised myself this year that I would fit an under tray and diffuser to see if I could get better handling. Dermot couldn't help with the wing so I rang Ewan to see where he got his. It being the profile that I wanted. No problem. He's made me a cracker. Even sprayed it the exact colour of my car. And at a price that I was very happy with.
Two weeks passed. I spoke to Ewan again. He's now fitted an undertray and diffuser. A cracking job. If i'd have had the time I couldn't have done it half as good. The price. It was less than I expected.
I don't complain to much about anything much in general. Neither do I give to much praise. I expect a fair job for a fair price. In motor racing though you generally pay through the nose for any sort of job.
So in conclusion. Ewan is a bit like the cider advert. What a refreshing change.
If you want something done on your car in a proffessional manner and at a reasonable price give the man a ring.

I would support David's endorsement of Ewan's skills. Unsurprisingly, he also has experience of, and spares for Swifts.
Based in Doncaster, he can be contacted at www.avitmotorsport.co.uk.

Re: Need any work done on your car
I made up several replies to Pig Pen's post.
But I couldn't decide which to put in.
Strangely they all contained the phase from PPs message. @!#?!"A.
Hope to see you again this year my man.
But not as close as last year.

Re: Need any work done on your car
Yep collected my panels, they were a bit of a mess with the gel coat cracking and some holes. I didnt want a fancy job, as there is no point spending a fortune on old panels, so off they went to Avit who did a good job getting them repaired and sprayed up. As I generally like to do things myself, I dont like to pay others silly money to do something, but the price charged was good so I am happy with the service.
