i reckon pvd was a great company that had such potential altho one thing i will say (probaly with every other customer) is that their delivery was rubbish but it had the products and the gd catalogue etc. i was owed 70 quid...

C10RSA wasn't one of the "originals" but i've got a couple of old pics.
It was jsut a combat kit, but like Craig Mays old Corsa, the kit was made to fit the car, unlike the standard fitting......
Also had 18"s on it.
IMO, the above picture has ruined it sooooooooo bad...
The overall interior is better than D5's, but then the guy had an AWFUL lot more ICE installed (2 sets of comps in each door opposed to D5's 1 set etc..).
Stitching and bonding is the same, but C10's owner scrimped out on the actaul dash with flackey chrome effect bits. Really degrades the car.
Boot install is superb, but i think it only houses 10" subs due to space issues.
Never spoken to the owner, but from what I heard he didn't have a clue about modifying cars, he just took his Corsa to Carisma and paid them STUPID amounts of money.....
D5's complete interior including audio equipment (£700 head unit and screen, amps x2, subs x2, x4 comps, etc etc...), all the leather, dash work, roof lining, sub box build etc came to £6k..
A lot, but get inside and you can see where the money went..
C10RSA (old phone pics)..
Interior...
Front, boring, but it fits perfectly.... Look at the non existant gaps... Even my airdam when it was first fitted, and adjusted, never fit this well..

I think C10 looks rather sweet now.
not many corsas that pull the Prowler widearch kit off very well.. Think it looks nice. Love the wheels too

When they ripped me off we were going to come down to see Pete (even though it was hundreds of miles away) as he was just giving us bullshit excuses all the time. "There aren't any of those wheels in the UK, we've found a set in Norway but its going to take 2 weeks to get them to the UK" Yet I went to a local tyre place (that were more expensive hence not using them in the 1st place) and was told they could get me the exact same wheels within 2 days 
Pete is a grade A nob! He just speaks bullshit! They also tried to fob us off saying that he was having a nervous breakdown. Then they went bust so wasn't any point going down there.

Pete used to be a nice bloke, arrogent, snobbish, and a sarcastic fuck, but he was alright really...
However, you were led well and truley down the garden path. The real reason you didn't get the wheels would have been becuase Pete never paid the wheel company so they wouldn't deliver anything.
Thats pretty much teh case for every company....
As for the nervous breakdown, tbh, if you were £300,000 in debt and your company turned over the amount it did, along with Petes personal problems (which SHOULDN'T effect the business, but you try it) i can understand the breakdown bit...
The only real person who may know of Petes wearabouts is Joff as he lsot his job at PVD and went to work at PiperX.
In contrast....
PVD, earnt a bit, showed it off with fancy office, fancy carpark cars, fancy computers, desks etc..
PiperX, MASSIVE company, turns over millions, they own practially a shed with about 4-5 members of staff, and a small warehouse...
PiperX still trade and make millions, PVD went bust..
Theres a lesson there to all new business interests. Make the business work before trying to show off.........

Pete carried on with Powertec for about a year after PVD went under. HE could be found driving his expensive car between pipercross and one of their suppliers quite regularly.
Not sure where he's got to now, but I wouldn't be too kind to him if I saw him.
edit - and He made us all lie to customers, it wasn't easy fobbing people off, but wwe didn't really have a choice

C10 has been ruined. It wasn't that good looking to start with as it had a bit of a horrible bodykit, but it all worked.

from January 2004 to June 2004, yes. I collected my final wage packet from the PVD stand at PVS 2004, after a public argument with Pete and Vicki.
