Inbetweeners superfans spend £3,700 to create iconic 'bus w*****s' banger

These lads transformed the Fiat into Simon's car from the series

We've all seen the iconic sitcom, regardless of age.

The Inbetweeners ran from 2008-2010 on Channel 4, but here we are 15 years after its finale, still talking about it.

Iconic doesn't even begin to sum it up, with millions around the UK still reciting lines from the four outcasts to this day.

Many have called for the cast's reunion in the same setting, even after two films and a TV reunion, as nothing close to it has been on the telly since.

Whether you’ve 'completed it mate’, or make fun of your mates for hanging out with their other 'friends', the series is packed with laughs and legendary moments.

There are a few things that are instantly recognisable about The Inbetweeners, and one of these is Simon's car, which made its debut in the third episode of the first series.

You know the one, the yellow Fiat Cinquecento with a red door and a profanity-laden bumper sticker.

Well, two lads have decided to splash around £3,700 to recreate the car which Jay screamed 'bus w***er' out of in season two.

Sacha Clayton and Niall Gray bought their own Cinquecento online, and decided it'd be good to transform it into the iconic 'Inbetweeners car'.

£3,250 was spent on the car itself, £200 on black bumpers, and £100 on wrapping one door red.

To top it all off, the memorable 'honk if you want a blowj*b' sticker was put on its rear bumper, along with a special edition 'Hawaii' badge, to finish the masterpiece.

The adventurous pair have documented their project on their TikTok account 'Flipping Goated', garnering millions of views along the way.

They've even taken it to some of the show's most memorable locations, such as Thorpe Park and the streets where the characters lived.

"We're big Inbetweeners fans so I thought I'd join a Cinquecento Facebook group and keep an eye on it," Sacha, from Surrey, explained.

"The car is pristine and show-ready but we'd had to do numerous things to make it like the Hawaii model in the show."

He remembered that the previous owner even asked them if they were recreating The Inbetweeners car, to which he would later admit: "We've effectively made it worse with black bumpers, the sticker on the back and the door is now red."

In the long term, they hope to get the original actors behind Jay, Neil, Simon, and Will to turn up and see their new ride.

"James Buckley [who played Jay Cartwright] has been through and liked every one of the videos on Instagram, so he's aware of it," Sacha added.

He admitted it added a sense of 'nostalgia' while driving around, even saying: "You forget you're driving it, and then all of a sudden someone shouts 'w**ker' at you."

While the car has a 'clunking' sound and needed new tyres, the almost 30-year-old motor only has 32,000 miles on the clock and was driven from their pick-up location in July.
