NARRATOR: In this exclusive world

of supercars, if you want yours to stand out,

there's one customizer to call.

Yianni!

NARRATOR: A social media star, he creates

one-off cars in stunning colors,dealing with demanding clients.

So when's this car need to be done by?

Tomorrow.

Are you serious?

NARRATOR: It's a high-stakes world--

Wow.

Two million pounds' worth ofcar, why would it be easy?

Up for this one?

NARRATOR: --where image is everything--

Oh, my day is [inaudible].

NARRATOR: --and the aim is perfection.

100% happy?

A million percent happy.

I'm the same.

NARRATOR: This time, the team go full throttle

when a 200 mile an hour trackcar thunders into the workshop.

Banana yellow for a race car.

NARRATOR: This driver wants a fresh look

for his prancing horse.

I think it should standout and be pretty aggressive.

NARRATOR: But when red flags are raised--

If we can't lift it correctly, he's going

to take the front bumper off.

NARRATOR: --and egos bruised--- Stupid idea.

What are you coming out of a stupid bit

of wood over there, you--

NARRATOR: --will the team burn out--

This car has been the biggestnightmare we've ever had.

NARRATOR: --or come out on top?

[music playing]

Racing driver Chris Froggatt competes

on the best circuits in Europein the Ferrari challenge.

Chris drives a 260,000pound Ferrari 488 Challenge.

With lowered suspension and lightweight body panels,

it's designed for high-speedperformance on the track.

Chris, what's happening?You well?

Yeah, all good. How are you?

Wow.

Banana yellow 488 race car.

Yeah.

I've been racing all through Europe,

which has been incredible.

Wow.

This car's passport must havereally get a few stamps in it.

Yeah, yeah.

First round was Valencia in Spain.

And then we've been toMonza, Budapest, Paul Ricard.

First race car?

It is, it is, and I absolutely love it.

YIANNI: Have you alwaysbeen a passionate car guy?

CHRIS FROGGATT: Always, from a young age.

Absolutely love cars--anything, like a speed freak.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Exactly.

YIANNI: Have you had any littlenear misses where you're like,

uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh?

Yeah, I've had a fewmoments with the car, yeah.

It does get a bit hairy.

YIANNI: It looksamazing, and the yellow--

why are we changing the color?

It looks great.

I loved it to start with and it is nice,

but racing in the series,there are a few yellow cars.

And I really wanted to have something

unique, a bit more aggressive.

You know, when you get into theback of someone's windscreen,

I kind of want to feel like I'm really

putting pressure on, evenwith the presence of the car.

OK, so what color we getting?

CHRIS FROGGATT: Matte white.YIANNI: Matte white?

OK.

A matte finish on a carlooks really, really sleek.

And so when we're on the track, I

would expect that toreally, really stand out.

Yeah, I think it should stand out

with the matte gray sort ofracing livery we're going

to do on it as well, I think--

OK, when you say theracing livery, what, we're

going to put a stripe on it?

CHRIS FROGGATT: Yeah, we're going

to have a stripe over it to sort of accentuate

the design of the car a bit--

OK.

--just make a few key bits pop.

Does everything come off the car?

Because we haven't done one of these before.

It's pretty modular.

It is, I think, easier than thenormal road car to take apart.

Bolt on, bolt off?

CHRIS FROGGATT: Bolt on, bolt off.

Yeah, exactly.

This is the first race car we're going to wrap.

I'm really excited.

I hope you guys are up for the challenge, Yan.

Mate, you brought it to us for a reason.

Listen, I've got this. My team have got this.

Don't worry.

Listen, I'm going to let you go before you

change your mind, OK? - All right.

YIANNI: I'll see you later, all right?

See you later.

NARRATOR: The Ferrari 488 Challenge--

it has a 3.9-liter twin turbocharged V8,

one of the world's greatest engines.

It delivers brutal performance, and Chris

needs a look to match.

But how will Yianni's team handle

their first race car wrap?

YIANNI: Guys, stop looking at the car

and let's have a conversation about it.

Ferrari 488 race car, are we feeling it?

Mate, are you serious?

Look how excited he is.

You are over the moon. - Ah!

I'm getting goose pimples.

This is just sick.

We know we're wrapping it in white.

For me, we'll bring the carout and it'll bring it to life.

Mike, talk to me about the strip.

This is going to be so intense.

This is next level--

I mean, even down to taking the wheels off.

They've got a special tool for them.

I'm not going to be able to jack this car up.

The rear bumper-- how am I going to get that off

if I can't get the wheels off?

I've got to go behind the wheel arches.

This is going to be serious.

I mean, even down to the rivetshere on the quick release

for the bonnet--

if I can't get these off,you're going to see yellow right

around the edges of it.

They're not going to be able to wrap fully.

Mark, give me something, bro.

Give me another option if he can't take it off.

Can you use matte black patch?

Matte black patch.

MIKE: Yeah.

YIANNI: So we'll still laythe whole white, and maybe

one like a pinstripe, maybe?

MARK: Yeah, yeah. - Can that work?

MARK: Yeah.

You make a feature of it, it'll work.

Mike, get stripping the car.

Boys, prepare yourself to wrap it.

You're going to need to.

Good luck.

MIKE: Sweet.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Racing's a rough business,

and there's often contents onthe track, so damage is common.

The door is actually ripped.

NARRATOR: This aluminum door is badly buckled.

It must be completelyrepaired before the wrappers

can work on it.

Wow.

NARRATOR: All racing carssit low to the ground,

but that poses a real problem for the guys.

Their lift's designed for road cars,

so to get vital access to the front bumper,

they'll need to improvise.

YIANNI: Mike, Pav, what's going on?

Uh, just getting these wraps ready for the 488.

Obviously this car is a race car.

It is on the floor, so we need to try

and make it as smooth as possible

getting up to the ramps.

They might have relocatedair lines, fuel lines--

we have to be really careful with this one.

OK.

If we can't lift it correctly, he's

going to take the front bumper off trying to get

it onto the ramp initially.

Do you reckon it's going to work?

Crossed fingers.

YIANNI: Mike, Pav?

Pav?

Pav?

Just shout out to him, because he can't hear.

Now wait, hold on.

Let it go.

Here, get it to work.

MIKE: Turn the engine off!

Turn the engine off!

BERT: Why?

I'm clear.

OK, this car is too low for this.

We need something that'sgoing to be a longer descent.

I'm actually stressing out at the minute.

Let me check down the side of the building.

NARRATOR: They need to createmore of a shallow angle

so the Ferrari eases its way onto the lift

and doesn't damage the bodywork.

And what have you found?

PAV: This is exactly what we need.

MIKE: Ah, go on.

PAV: This is metal.

Oh, my god.

This is massive. What am I thinking?

I don't know.

Your stupid ideas.

Stupid idea-- what are youcoming out with, a stupid

bit of wood over there, you--

Hold on, hold on.

Oh, hello.

Hold on, boys.

Is this going to work? - Hopefully, yeah.

BERT: [inaudible],, that's going to work.

[engine starting]

Go on, Mike.

Hang on.

Good.

Go on, then, you've got this.

Right now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Straighten up.

Go on, go on, keep coming.

PAV: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Stop, stop, stop.

He's up.

We're good.

Ha!

[clapping]

Well done, Mike.

Now the car is on the ramp, they

can see the fragile bodyworkwould be damaged by the lift

if they tried to use it.

The ramp we've got ain'tgoing to work for this car.

NARRATOR: Without raising the Ferrari,

the team aren't sure the stripdown can continue.

- Doors are fine-- - Front bumper.

- --everything else is fine.- It's the front bumper.

It's just the front bumper, yeah.

All right, so let's crossthat bridge when we get to it.

NARRATOR: So a decision is made--

strip what they can and tacklethe front bumper tomorrow.

Yeah, good?

My god, this weighs nothing.

By the wheel. That's right there.

There you go.[inaudible] they'll call.

PAV: My bum, we've got this off, don't worry.

MIKE: What do you want, aBlue Peter badge for this?

I've already got my Blue Peter badges.

You need one, bro.

NARRATOR: The workshop closes up for the day,

but two people remain in the building.

Yo, bro, I'm definitelythere, Billy, 100%, mate.

I fly out on the Thursdaynight, I land Friday morning,

and then I fly back out on the Monday.

So I'm there for the whole Grand Prix.

Wicked.

Look forward to seeing you, bro.

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, mate.

You going?

YIANNI: Yep.

Oh.

You got plus one?

YIANNI: Yep.

Nope.

You show for leather.

Leave that there, bro.

Someone's got to run the business.

You know, the week after I'm actually

racing on the Yas Marina track.

You got a plus one?

No, not for that.

- Because you're terrible.- No plus one for that.

This is shocking.

YIANNI: But do you know, I've driven Silverstone,

I've driven quite a fewtracks, but to drive the Yas

Marina track, and at night--

BERT: What you driving?

Lamborghini.

My actual car-- well,obviously not my actual car,

but the same car.

You've never done a track day?

I've done track days.

But I've never done Yas Marina in a Lamborghini.

I'm a lucky guy.

BERT: Yeah.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Much of the Ferrari bodywork

has had a rough life so needscareful prep for the wrap.

We're having done thisrear bumper of the Ferrari.

It has to be smooth so thevinyl will stick on the panel.

The reason why we put the bumper back on to wrap,

because it's so much easier to lay it.

Because when it's off it's really hard,

because it's flexible.

NARRATOR: The brothers use the car for support

so the lighter materials don'tbend whilst being wrapped.

Laying the vinyl is only the start.

Every edge has to betucked neatly out of sight.

So now we're trying to hide every single yellow

in this car.

The wrap must be 100% perfect, yeah?

Because Yianni got the eye of the tiger.

He sees every single mistake on the car.

So that's why it's quite scarywhen he's checking the car.

NARRATOR: The wrap is moving ahead,

but the team's first race caris proving difficult. They're

behind schedule and the car needs

to be ready in just a few days.

Normally a bump like this wouldn't get

yourself in half an hour max.

Add another two hours to that now.

NARRATOR: If he can get it off, Pav will

be in the wrappers' good books.

Stripping parts makes it much easier

to hide vinyl around the edges.

PAV: With Yianni, he's toldus we've got a deadline.

Time's ticking on this, and if we

don't get the bumper offtoday then obviously we're

going to be in big trouble.

Almost.

Ridiculous.

I think I should be able to getmy spanner in there now, which

is still very, very tight.

God.

Your mom, I just droppedthe bead in there as well.

Now we've got to definitelytake this bumper off now.

Now I have a tool in the bumper.

[growls]

YIANNI: Pav is losing his mind trying

to get the front bumper off.

This is turning into a nightmare of a job.

NARRATOR: Race car driver Chris Froggatt

has brought his Ferrari 488Challenge into the workshop.

It's the team's first race car.

This is a next level.

NARRATOR: And it's beenproblematic from the off.

PAV: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Stop, stop!

NARRATOR: The strip has come crashing to a halt.

Your mom, I just droppedthe bead in there as well.

Now we've got to definitelytake this bumper off now.

NARRATOR: The car should be fully stripped,

but the front bumperremains firmly bolted on.

Now the aim is to try to separate the bumper

from the rest of the car.

Try and loosen the threescrews that are sitting there,

the top half and theunderneath, and hopefully bumper

will come off for the guys.

Now I just feel likecutting a big hole in this,

I'm not going to lie to you.

I can't get to the f-f-[muted]-ing-ing bolt. I can't do it.

It's impossible.

NARRATOR: They've got to raise the car

so Pav can get better access.

But since the workshop lift isn't an option,

the guys need a workaround.

This might get Mike to jack this up first.

NARRATOR: The 488 has a jacking point,

and it should be easy to raise.

But the lightweight body is expensive

and if the car flexes, it could prove costly.

All right, ready?

PAV: Just go as much as you can.

Go on, brother, it's working.

It is, it's working, it'sworking, it's working.

Go on-- are you still going?

Stop. I can hear that.

Leave it right there.

Mate, that's so much better.

So now that we've jackedup the middle of the car,

our life is so much easier.

We're getting the pieces out that we need,

as you can see-- bang.

[music playing]

Oh, my god. That worked.

Yes!

Yes!

Oh.

Machine's up.

God, you've killed me.

YIANNI: Pav, what are you on chatting about?

Look what I've done. YIANNI: Oh, my god.

You've finally got it off!

Oh, don't tell me about it, man.

It's off now.

OK, well done.

Thank you.

Wrap it.

NARRATOR: The team are going to have

to push themselves tomorrowif they want to get

Chris's car ready for the race.

[music playing]

A wrap could last up to fiveyears, but wear and tear

mean sometimes the vinyl canlift away from the panels.

To help reduce the risk of this happening,

the brothers wrap satin blackvinyl around some of the edges.

Once superheated, this extra layer of vinyl

acts as an additional adhesive helping

to keep the wrap in place.

When it comes tobodywork, Pav is the man--

and the Ferrari is inneed of some serious TLC.

PAV: Running out of timewith this Ferrari and Bert

wants me to fix this door, sowe're going to just cut out

a little bit of the metal here, just

so obviously when the door opens it

doesn't rub against the wing.

Put a little bit of filler, sandit down, then it'll be wrapped

and then that's it.

Let's get the hammer out, mate.

NARRATOR: Pav's first job is toget the basic door shape back.

He needs all his skillhere, as any further damage

to the 260,000 pound car will not go down well.

Aluminum filler is used in the gaps,

and sanding back creates theexact line and a seamless fix.

Obviously we're going to have to do

a few little minor repairs.

Obviously with the vinyl, whenyou do lay down on a panel

you can hide certain imperfections.

What I've done is obviouslyjust a quick repair--

I've repaired the crack, added some filler.

We're going to sand down upto here, to the bottom lip,

and then all of this sectionwill be ready to wrap.

NARRATOR: This is one ofthe most challenging cars

the team has ever worked on.

There's too much work and too little time,

but it must be ready for Chris's race.

YIANNI: We are so up against it, I've

got the team coming in at 5AM to get this car complete.

To be fair.

I actually don't want them to go home.

I don't even know if 5 AMis early enough for them

to get this car finished.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Chris is dueto collect his car today,

but the job list doesn't seem to be going down

and huge pieces are yet to be finished.

How we getting on, boys?

I'm really, really feeling this.

I'm not going to lie.

Yeah, I know.

Well, I'm on the aerial.

We're just waiting for Nico and Mark

to finish off that front bumper.

The majority is pretty much done.

It's just that front bumper, mate.

So until we get that done--

Let me go check on Nico and Mark.

You lot have been onthis bumper a long time--

two hours to take off, two hours to put on,

and eight hours for you lot to wrap it.

That's more than a day.

My god, I'm actually freaking out.

NARRATOR: The front of the car needs

to be fitted quickly so Vas can add

a racing stripe to the bonnet.

YIANNI: How are you looking on your side?

MARK: So-so.

NARRATOR: No detail escapesYianni's watchful eye,

and he's spotted a problem.

Get Nico to deal with that quickly.

Nico? Come here, brother.

Sorry, man, just trying toget this as best we can.

Do your magic, brother.

So the bumper is touching the wing.

And previously where it was touching,

it didn't make that much of adifference because it's paint.

But when it's vinyl, itpushes the vinyl if it looks

like the vinyl is lifting.

So Nico is now trying to push the vinyl

back down while these guysare trying to fit the bumper.

PAV: Is the bonnet finished, as well?

NICO: Throw them vents on.

PAV: That's what I was going to go and do.

She's not treated us well.

It's been an absolutenightmare from start to finish,

and Chris is an hour away.

We're still-- we're not even near.

NARRATOR: The vinyl isfixed, the bumper fitted,

and the bonnet is next, allowingVas to finally lay his stripe.

Running a stripe front to back usually is easy.

What Vasily is doing, it has to be straight.

So he's got to get it right the first time.

Because if he doesn't, thatwould delay us by another hour.

I literally have to juststay here now and just watch

and hope and rely on my guys.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: The finish line is in sight,

but they aren't quite done.

And now Chris has turned up.

Chris.

CHRIS FROGGATT: Hey, Yan, how are you?

Um, I don't know if I'mpleased to see you or not.

It's been that tough?

This car has been the biggestnightmare we've ever had--

Really?

--here.

I swear to God, the guys are actually still

putting the car back together.CHRIS FROGGATT: Really?

YIANNI: We had issues with the door--

Yeah. YIANNI: --and the wing.

CHRIS FROGGATT: Yeah. - Thanks for that job.

CHRIS FROGGATT: Uh, you're welcome.

I'm sure it looks amazing, though, so--

No, I'm really pleased with it.

What are you hoping for when the car comes out?

I think something completely different.

Especially with the gray racingstripes and livery on it,

I think it should look pretty stunning.

Are you really excited to see the car?

Oh man, I can't wait.

I literally couldn't sleep last night.

I cannot wait to see it.

Do you want me to bring the car out?

CHRIS FROGGATT: Yeah, please.

I'm getting the car.

OK, OK.

All right, ready?

Yeah.

[engine revving]

[MUSIC - ROB BAGSHOT, "ONE AND ONLY"]

Wow.

[SINGING] Everybody wants to live my life.

But they can't-- I'm the one and only.

I've been around the world.

I get the finest girls.

Everybody wants to live my life.

But they can't-- I'm the one and only.

YIANNI: What do you think?CHRIS FROGGATT: Wow.

I mean, the level of detail--

like you say, the fins there, the whole stripe.

I love the thicker stripe followed

by the thinner outer edge.

And also that chrome justsets it off on top, I think.

Ah, no, you know, I can't thank you enough.

To be honest, it's my guys.

Everyone had to pulltogether, from the wrappers

to the strippers and fitters, even down to the juniors

as they're cleaning the car as it's coming out.

I think you got this on the money, bang on.

CHRIS FROGGATT: You know, I've got

the race coming up this weekand I'm hoping to win that.

I'm excited.

I hope you win the race,because obviously then it's

like a fresh wrap from my team.

You'd be like, it's a lucky wrap.

CHRIS FROGGATT: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

- Good luck in your race.- Thank you.

Make sure you keep me informed.

Yeah, I will do.

And, um, drive safely, please.

Literally drive safely in a race car.

Yeah. Thank you.

I'll see you soon.

Take care.

I think the job was fantastic.

I'm really happy that all theguys came together and did it

in such short notice.

I'm really looking forward tothe race and the new livery,

and I think, you know, touch wood all goes well

and we're number one.

[music playing]

[engine starting]

NARRATOR: So did the wrap bringChris luck at Silverstone?

So the winner is Chris Froggatt!

[cheering]

[music playing]
