Love this show, it's like wheeler dealers of old before Mike sold out to the Americans and shafted Ed.

A proper car mechanics show.

Will and Gus are the ideal presenters for the back to basics show. It's a simple but genius format of buying a banger and getting it back on the road. Such an interesting duo make the show a pleasure to watch and a firm favourite in our house enjoyed by the six of us.
Top old car refurb show.

Like Wheeler Dealers series one!
Superb car refurb show as per title for bangers not the fancy stuff on WD ( which I still enjoy).
Will and Gus are two knowledgeable mechanics working on bottom of the market junk cars and making them useable and squeezing a profit out of them or trying to.
Great show.

Very good and amusing show

Saw this on Discovery channel and I'm totally hooked. The technical insights you get from the cars are really nice.The aspect of finding a really cheap car and the challenge of getting it back on the road is something that really appeals to me. Hopefully they continue for a good amount of seasons!
The car show on telly!

Like a few others I stumbled across Flipping Bangers whilst checking out what was on. Unfortunately it was series two already, so I'm now trying to watch the limited re-runs of series one to catch up. Blaze sort it out!!!
It reminds me of the early years of Mike Brewers 'Deals on wheels' not in concept, but in relatable content and great viewing automotive telly! Will and Gus come across as top blokes with great chemistry, who you'd happily buy a pint for whilst talking favourite cars from your childhood.
Hoping a third series is commissioned as this show really deserves greater exposure!

Cars but...

Although it's about cars, these guy's optimism, positivity and the fact they're really likeable people makes this show so special. You just have to like them! And about their skills, well it looks like they really know their job.
Flipping bangers 👌
derekhollywood7 June 2019
Just like us
kagey-2876926 July 2019
Unlike all other shows which happily spend a years wages on every car . These two are at the everyday blokes level , minimum money and basic tools and a will to figure it out with a very limited budget .
What we end up with is a show which comes at most people level not trying to be something special .
Great show and worth watching for their will to have a go !! Kings of the rattle cans
Passion for cars, discerning eye for a banger

Brill show, they're really enthusiastic about recovering and preserving interesting cars that would otherwise go in the crusher.
The methods of cheap repairs are encouraging and informative for DIY car enthusiasts, restorers, repairers or improvers.
Will keep eyes open, this must have been filmed locally.
Keep going boys.
Just noticed on Porsche 924 episode, technical consultant is Paul Bracket, of 'thanks Paul' fame, Ed's mate in WD. Maybe bangers but not bodger's.

Flipping Bodgers
jezmoore14 July 2019
I enjoy car shows with this theme and yes it is watchable l know they are doing a quick cheap make over but my only critism is the lads apparent lack of mechanical engineering skills tool handling and general workshop practices. Well perhaps I shouldn't be too critical they are after all only a couple amateurs having a go
What an idiots
gmartijn19 March 2020
I think this show is a winner...
faldoc30 December 2020
I watched my first episode today, about the Morris Minor. My grandparents had one in Hong Kong, long ago.
I found the show reminiscent of the early Wheeler Dealers show, with a low starting budget.
I like the hosts, Gus and Will, who are pleasant and engaging.
Another car show added to my DVR record list...

Honest & Watchable

Great, Real, Show, for once
pcengineerga14 May 2021
Exactly what I deal with when I can. All the other car shows are ignoring this elephant in the room. Coming from an engineering background including NASA, I can appreciate the technical and realism of this show. Im impressed, but it has a lot to do with my background. I revert to this mechanism when i dont have a job.contract and I need to make some money, but its ruthless.
the lack of new episodes is the problem
klinkvonstalag14 December 2021
The lack of new episodes is the only problem with this show, that is following the formula of the begins of Wheelers Dealers: cheap, no-nonsense.
The choice of vehicle is unusually interesting. It really depicts what it can be do buy a cheap popular antique car, options on the table to fix issues.
There is no other show like this I know of these days.

down to earth cars and restorations
Cinema2kMendoza16 October 2021
Here the cars are basically , every day cars, and the way they fix the cars and the way they show the cars is good.so theres no garaque queens, but every day cars fixed in a real way, and many episodes focus in how sometimes a common car needs alot of help because the previous owner didnt care about it.
Only bad thing is that there isn't more episodes.

Love Flipping Bangers
dolyschaf14 September 2023
I know nothing about fixing cars but love this show. Gus and Will are totally likeable and I could watch this all day.
Three series in, please can we have more Flipping Bangers! Why this isn't on mainstream Channel 5 in the UK is beyond me, this is so much better than Wheeler Dealers, as the two guys Gus and Will come across as genuinely nice and knowledgeable guys, plus you want them to do well.
A truly enjoyable car show even for the layman with zero knowledge of how to fix cars. I'm sure that using a rattle can to do resprays might cause upset among the car industry but so what? Gus and Will are top blokes sharing their knowlege! More Flipping Bangers please!

Gearhead Banger heaven.

Warning: Spoilers
After watching Wheeler Dealers, Flipping Bangers is, well, lets go for the lowest denomination in the auto market, bangers and take a bloody risk on it.
After dealers this is my favorite gear head show on Motor Trend.
Because for me , unlike my younger brothers.
I was the one born with no mechanical ability to fix anything.
This show is a educational as they fix and repair the cars which they acquired and then sell them of and give them a new home.
Gus and Will are a great a team as Mike and Elvis are.
I wish Motor Trend would show more seasons after Season Two.
All in all I recommend this show, if you are looking for a education in auto repair.

Unrealistic Costs

Let's be real
rtibbetts-2178418 May 2021
Love the show although I don't think I would ever purchase a vehicle painted with a roller however, that's just me.
Also, I can't believe two individuals in business together can always get along as well as it's portrayed on the show. How about an episode of outtakes or some real life squabbles.

A really decent and realistic car repair and sale show
dean-6505921 December 2023
I like this, both Will and Gus seems really down to earth and genuine and they work at the lower end of the market like many of us do, it's both entertaqining and you also pick up tips and tricks if you're in the trade too, hope a season 4 comes along, especially now used car prices are calming down post covid.
After Wheeler dealers went stateside this is now the best UK show by miles. Well worth a watch for any petrol head I think, I'd like to see it get picked up by one of the terrestrial channels like bbc 2 or channel 4 that would give it the traction it needs to continue for many seasons int he future.
