Ali-A's Superchargers

Series 1

Episode 2: Supercar Superfan

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

Mohammad, a supercar-mad boy from Manchester, is worried about his family car. It's 16 years old, covered in rust and the engine is clearly on the edge. There's a looming danger that the car may not pass its next MOT, but Ali-A and his supercharging team are speeding in to help. After meeting the family, Ali-A introduces Mohammad to some bold new directions he could take the outside of the car in. Mum and dad have absolutely no idea what crazy plans he has for their car, and they are very worried about it returning to them in an outrageously bright colour! Ali-A introduces us to cool car nerd Sideways Sid who steps in to help Mohammad focus his ideas. Sid takes Mohammad to a supercar showroom with high-end motors valued at more than five million pounds! Mohammad realises he loves the carbon fibre effect, and this starts to help him make decisions for the car's crazy transformation - what will his parents think? It's then time to visit Rebecca, the Superchargers mechanic who shows Mohammad why the family car is causing them so many problems. The pair get their hands dirty and work on the rustbucket's nuts and bolts until it is finally safe to be out on the road. After finalising his design, Sideways Sid returns to help Mohammad make over the inside and outside of the car. But when Ali-A unveils Mohammad's car's new look, will his mum and dad love it or hate it? Show less
