Title: Sponsorship. Anyone know anything.?
Post by: mk3.owner on 30 January 2012, 15:59
Ok, One of my friend's from America said that there is a company over there that sponsor people to modify there car's. Apparently they get free performance part's, Free Styling part's and much more.

I was wondering if there is any companies like this in the uk.?

While we're on the subject, is does anyone know if there is a way I can earn up to $200 a day from home with no skills and no qualifications?

I'll accept payment via western union into my Nigerian wife's bank account.

Sometimes forge motorsport will ask for a car to use as a demo or simply to mess around with and you would get something like a free intercooler or discount on which ever parts they make for your car using yours as the tester. I have a good mate who works there and he has had some good things made for his car's, which have been used as demo cars in most of there shows over 2011.

I do believe rob, aka toofunkyhouse had a sh!t load of bits off forge for his Astra VXR in return for letting them use it to develop the parts.

But it's pot luck really, he only got that because he asked for bits they didn't have

The clue is in the fact that you know people in the company.
