NARRATOR: In the exclusiveworld of supercars,

if you want yours to stand out,there's one customizer to call.

Yianni!

NARRATOR: A social mediastar, he creates one-off cars

in stunning colors.

Dealing with demanding clients--

So when does this car need to be done by?

- Tomorrow. - Are you serious?

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

Wow!

Too many points off thecar, why would it be easy?

Up for this one?

NARRATOR --where image is everything--

Oh, my days--

NARRATOR --and the aim is perfection.

100% happy.

A million percent happy.

[music playing]

NARRATOR: This time a regular client

returns for his fourth wrapin his trademark color.

What color is it going?

It's going gold.

Surprise, surprise.

NARRATOR: And a BMW arrivesfor some finishing touches.

I just want a few bits doneto it, nothing too crazy.

NARRATOR: In the garage,body wrap problems require

all the team's expertise.

Oh, my God.

NARRATOR: And When.

The boss makes last minute changes,

the job goes down to the wire.

Do me a favor, get it off, mate.

You need to wrap them straight away.

Oh, my God.

NARRATOR: The client has a big social media

stunt planned for collection,but will the car be ready?

[music playing]

It's the start of anotherday at the garage,

and there's a Mercedes heading Yianni's way.

It's driven by Siva, a property developer whose

flamboyant lifestyle has earned him

a big social media following.

Yo!

SIVA: How are you?

I'm well. How about yourself?

I'm good, man.

I'm good, I'm good.

Back again.

SIVA: I'm back again.

You've going for the bigboy whip here, the C63 S AMG.

That's the daddy, isn't it?

It's the best C class you canget, and it's fast as anything.

Do I dare ask you what color is it going?

I'm sure you already know the answer.

It's going gold.

- Surprise, surprise. - Yeah.

So hold on.

How many gold cars you got now?

Well, this will be the fourth gold car now.

[laughs]So this will be your fourth car.

What car have we got?

Remind me.

We have the Porsche Cayman.

YIANNI: Yeah.

SIVA: We have the Range RoverSport, and we have the Bentley.

All attention is good attention.

It's really positive.

It's a good thing for mysocial media, and I love it.

I do love it.

So with this car, do youwant me to actually put

it out there on my [inaudible]?SIVA: Blow it up.

Really? SIVA: Blow it up.

Yeah? SIVA: Yes.

YIANNI: Tell me, so you'vegot a lot silver chrome.

Is that staying, or is that going to go?

That is-- that is staying.

That's staying, yes.

OK, fine.

But obviously, I leave it to you, Yianni, to--

try to work your magic.

OK.

All that's left is, give me thekey and get out of here, bro.

Before I give you the key,I need the job to be amazing,

because I've got a big surprise coming

when I come to collect it.- All right.

There you go.

I hope like it.

See you later.

See you later.

Take it easy.

NARRATOR: The Mercedes AMG C63S is a brutal performance saloon

with loads of torque and snarl.

[music playing]

It packs a powerful twin turbocharged, 4 liter, V8 engine,

capable of a top speed of 155 miles an hour.

Siva only accepts the best whenit comes to his fleet of cars,

and Yianni has just three days to deliver.

[music playing]

YIANNI: Guys, let's have you in!

[music playing]

Here she is, C63 S AMG in all her glory.

Now, it's for Siva.

He has told me the color.Surprise, surprise?

MAN: Gold.

Chrome gold.

[laughter]

YIANNI: It's chrome, boys.

You're up.

The only problem we'regoing to have is one here--

Already we've got a problem!

We haven't even started yet, the only problem!

[interposing voices]

Wow!

Go on.

The vinyl's not wide enough for the bonnet,

so we're going to have some [inaudible] bonnet.

The vinyl's was not wideenough for the bonnet.

OK, so it's 1,220 wide,isn't it, rather than 1,500.

OK, so thanks for that.

Straight away, a problem.

Mike, you're going to bedoing the shuts and returns.

Yep.

Because it's chrome, we'regoing do inside the door shuts

in glossy black because chrome doesn't

conform like a normal vinyl.

It's going to be a headache,but that's what we're here for.

OK.

Pav, it's white.

Four doors need to come off.

It's not [inaudible] a problem.

It's just the front bumperis a little bit of an issue,

obviously.

Breaks off into four parts,so it's just time consuming.

He needs to car done by the end of the week.

[music playing]

YIANNI: You know what?

Let's get to stripping.

All right, cheers.

NARRATOR: It's a big job.

The client wants the whitepaint completely hidden,

so the bodywork must be fully stripped.

Mike and Pav have over 50 parts to remove,

and everything needs to be accounted for even

down to the clips and screws.

This AMG seal was actuallyconnected for a wire that

goes into the car's electrical loom,

and that's how it's illuminated.

And obviously, it's very fragile, so yeah,

we've got to take our time with this one.

NARRATOR: The doors must comeoff so that the white door

surrounds, known as shuts and returns,

can be wrapped in gloss black.

One, two, three.

Oh, my, lovely.

Look at that.

Beautiful, beautiful.

You're all right, you cool?

Cool.

NARRATOR: Getting the shutsand returns done adds time

to the schedule and costs the client

an extra 200 pounds per door.

Nico and Mark decide to start wrapping

whilst the rest of the car is being stripped.

They begin by layingcutting tape down the center

of the large bonnet.

[music playing]

Once one side of the vinyl was laid,

they pull the cutting tape to create

a perfectly straightseam which they can match

to line up the other side.

[music playing]

It's all go at the garage today.

Outside, the next job has arrived.

Andy is a former garageowner turned garage inspector

who Yianni has known for years.

- You all right? - Fine.

You OK? You good?

Yeah? - Long time?

I know, I've been waiting for so long.

You know what?

I feel like a kid going into a candy store.

- Really? - Yeah.

I'm really excited.

My new beast, another M4.

I love the color.

So I just want a few bitsdone to it, nothing too crazy.

OK.

Couple of black inserts for the side

seals, door mirrors black, and then

I just want to fewthings done on the front,

but I'll leave that to you.

Is that all right? All good?

Actually, not too bad.

You know, I can probably bashthat out in the same day.

Oh. So what do I do?

What do you want me to do?

Do you know, actually, Iknow what you do for a living.

I know you go around to all these big companies,

and you walk around, andyou tell them what's right

and what's wrong.

Have a look at my companywhile you're waiting.

I'd be happy to do that, but you

know I'm going to be likestraight to the point

and quite harsh, yeah?

They don't call me theGordon Ramsay of the garage

trade for nothing, yeah? - OK.

You know what? Let's go inside.

Sure, let's do it. Come on.

NARRATOR: While the team getstraight to work on the Beemer,

Andy starts his inspection.

Gold Lover Siva's whiteMercedes is gradually being

transformed by Nico and Mark.

This chrome gold vinyl is notoriously difficult

to work with.

Many could have a problemwith this chrome gold

because of it rips so easy, scratch easily,

so we have to be careful.

NARRATOR: And at 120 pounds per meter,

any mistakes will prove costly.

Let me show you what I mean.

This stretch so much, you see that?

It's so-- so easy to split.

NARRATOR: The C63 S hascurves all over the bodywork,

so there's going to be lots of heating

and stretching to be done.

But Nico and Marc are Yianni'sgo-to guys for chrome wraps.

He trusts them to handle thisdelicate, expensive vinyl.

Upstairs, Bert is checkingthrough the order sheets.

Do you realize, Yianni, how much gold chrome

we've been through recently?

Um, a lot?

Yeah, because obviouslySiva's car is downstairs,

and this is his fourth gold chrome car.

YIANNI: Yeah.

I ain't going to laugh.

I think he's outdoing you.

They're all chrome gold cars.

BERT: Right.

How's he outdoing me?

He's completed the set, hasn't he?

How you going to beat him?

YIANNI: How am I going to beat him?

Yeah.

I want something different.

I want something that's going to--

I like to change the game.

I like-- I like to be an innovator,

I like to be a leader.

I like to be someone that isat the front of my industry,

and people be like, yeah.

Whether they like you or hate it,

I want them to say, yeah, that changed--

that changed the game.

I think it's got to be a different wrap

to what people have seen, but maybe then,

we don't wrap a car.

If I save my pennies--

BERT: Yeah?

--and you save your pennies, and we'll buy

something next year together.

A boat?

How much money do you earn?

BERT: You pay me.

Not enough, then.

Exactly, exactly.

Now, where to I get a dinghy from?

[music playing]

NARRATOR: Downstairs, whileAndy's inspection continues,

there's no rest for Pav.

He's saved the most difficultpart of the bodywork to last.

Right, Keeram, this is thehard bit now, front bumper.

NARRATOR: This is no ordinary bumper.

It's held in place by nearly 40 clips,

screws, and bolts which areall concealed in hard to reach

places.

You do the other side for me.

Good.

NARRATOR: Access is difficult,so Pav has to work from memory

and feel for each screw.

Right, let's have a look just here now.

All right, that's it.

On three, we're going to pull it forward, OK?

All right.

One, two, three.

Slowly.

NARRATOR: With the bumper stripped,

Nico cleans and preps it for wrapping.

But he's discovered some damage.

Pav, come on, come on.

Please?

How we doing, Nico?

Yeah, I got a problem on this one.

Look. - OK.

Will it show through the vinyl?

NICO: Definitely.

What else is the bumper like?

Have you checked that?

No.

Oh, my God, I can see what you mean.

NICO: It's quite bad, isn't it?

PAV: Tell you what.

Let's call Bert, get a final decision from him.

NARRATOR: Management needsto make a call on whether it

can be fixed in-house.

If not, it will have to go to a body

shop, which could take days.

Bert, can you come down, please, mate?

We've got an issue with the bumper.

NARRATOR: Work stopsuntil a decision is made.

[music playing]

The team are wrapping a Mercedesfor a client who loves gold.

How many gold cars you got now?

Well, this will be the fourth gold car now.

NARRATOR: And Yianni has a garage

inspector doing the rounds.

ANDY: You know I'm going to be quite harsh, yeah?

They don't call me theGordon Ramsey of the garage

trade for nothing, yeah?

NARRATOR: But a bodywork issue has put

the Mercedes wrap in jeopardy.

PAV: Oh, my God, I can see what you mean.

NICO: It's quite bad, isn't it?

NARRATOR: Manager Bert has beensummoned in to make the call.

- Hello, guys. - [inaudible]

What's happening?

Yeah, we got a problem on this-- on this part.

OK.PAV: We got this bit of--

Three marks [inaudible].

PAV: Yeah, got a lot of issues with this bumper.

Obviously, it's gold chrome, so you're

going to see it pretty much.

Have you tried putting some vinyl on that?

Yeah, we tried it before,but let me show you right now.

NARRATOR: Bodywork issuesare a real headache.

Even the slightestimperfection is highlighted

when covered in vinyl.

I think that's going to need a little bit of wet

and dry just to smooth it off, but that thing's

going to need a huge amount.

But obviously, the boys need to get cracking.

It's chrome as well, so it'sgoing to take a bit of time,

so don't go--

don't send the whole bloody thing down.

And I'll go and speak to Siva and let

him know that's what we're did.PAV: Thank you.

Cool. OK.

Cheers, boys.

PAV: Cheers, Bert.

NARRATOR: Wet and dry sandpapergives such a fine finish

that hopefully each scoring on the bumper

won't be visible once the wrap is on.

Nico will do his best, buthe won't know for sure how it

will look until it's wrapped.

[music playing]

Meanwhile, Andy's presence in the garage

has the team on edge.

I keep seeing himwalking around over there,

seeing what everyone did, man.

It's like it's his job to just inspect.

How are you getting on?

What are you looking at?

Well, I'm looking at your master craftsman

here dong his little bits.

Found some good stuff?

I've got some stuff to tell you about.

[ANXIOUSLY] OK.

I'm a bit nervous.

No, don't be.

OK, well, listen.

Your car's done, so let'sdo your car first, OK?

Come round, let's have a look at this.

Done? Nearly done?

There she is.

Whoa.

Little touches, eh?

[music playing]

YIANNI: Closed-back mirrors.

ANDY: Yeah, beautiful.

YIANNI: And you've got subtledetailing on the front.

ANDY: I really love the front.

YIANNI: Yeah?

ANDY: It's like two bigmouthpieces looking at you.

YIANNI: Exactly, and with the vents as well.

It really fills it out.

I can't wait to take youout and, uh, show everyone.

Tell me.

What do you want to know?

YIANNI: Tell me about my unit.

I think it's quite agood working environment.

You know-- you know, the changes that

you need to do is get some attitude

changed towards cleanliness.

Everywhere you go, every corner, there

is absolute rubbish everywhere.

But it's my staff.

They're like children, andtheir parents don't work here

so no one cleans up after them.

Leadership comes from the top, my son.

Yeah?

Do you know what?

On that note, Andy, love it.

Thank you.

I'm glad you're happy with your car.

I am, I love it.

I will relay all thisinformation back to my staff.

You do that.

I take it seriously, and I'm the boss.

Good.That's the way it should be.

YIANNI: Cheers, mate.

NARRATOR: Inspection over.

Andy's Beemer has been tidiedup, and so has the garage.

Now, attention shifts backto the gold Mercedes wrap.

[music playing]

You looked pretty.

What's up, boys?

Yeah, things are getting-- they're like--

just like [inaudible] and two bumpers left.

What, and that's it?

Uh--

Doors?

Doors, yeah.

Handles?

[inaudible]?

Mirrors?

Yeah, these are good.

You lot are killing me.

You don't got much to doBoys, [inaudible] on you.

We're running out of time.

NARRATOR: The bumper is loosely reattached,

giving enough access for the wrappers to tape

the vinyl behind the panel.

Then when the work is done,it can be properly fitted.

Trying to stretch his delicate vinyl

around the curvy Mercedes bumper takes

an incredible amount of skill.

They have to get the tension just right.

This piece of vinyl alonecosts nearly 400 pounds.

It's going to be hard forus on this bit, isn't it?

Maybe you pull a little bit here?

This will be in the door.

Let's try it.

You got it, you got it.

[music playing]

We made it.

NARRATOR: The brothers havemanaged to finish the bumper

without wasting any vinyl.

- What's going on, Pav?- How're you doing, mate?

You al right here? - Yeah, man.

You?- Yeah, I'm just starving, man.

Tell me about it.

I didn't have breakfast.

I'm hungry.

I'm starving.

Man Go eating, then.

Pav is probably the skinniest person here.

He would eat all day long,never puts on any weight.

Just bring me any kind of food, please.

I think I'm going to go for rice,

chicken chow mein, sweet andsour sauce, egg fried rice.

Mmm.

Special fried rice.

Hong Kong style.

[laughter]

Caf Egg and bacon.

Don't.

You're teasing me.

NARRATOR: There are four doorswhich need to be wrapped,

and they must achieve the gold standard.

The vinyl has to be carefully worked

around the shape of the door.

The boys work overtime toget the doors finished,

ready for collection tomorrow.

Deadline day.

Siva is due at 3:00 PM.

The team finished the doors late last night.

Now, it's over to Pav to refit over 50 parts.

Yianni heads down tocheck they're on schedule

to meet the deadline.

[music playing]

Mark.

Can I get your opinion on this?

The silver with the blackand the gold, did it work?

- I like it.- You know why he's saying that?

Of course I know.

Because he doesn't want to wrap it.

Do me a favor.

Get it off, mate, you needto wrap it straight away.

But we are right at the end.

Literally, this is the lastbits to be done on the car.

Oh, my God.

NARRATOR: The handles aren'tthe only chrome on the car.

There's also a large frontgrille which needs to come off,

and Pav isn't best pleased.

I know it's notconvenient for you, but--

Next time, just tell your customers

never to have a chrome grille.

YIANNI: Yeah, but I have to make the decision.

I'd rather-- I'd rather have this issue now,

and he pick up the car andbe happy, than be like,

I wish we'd done that.

And by then, the wholecar will be fully fitted,

and the car's got to come back in.

Can't wait for this thing.

OK, so it is what it is, mate.

NARRATOR: With collection approaching,

there's no time to takethe whole bumper off again,

so Pav has to improvise.

And I loosen the bumper,give me a bit of play on it

so I can get to the back andhopefully we take it off.

NARRATOR: And there's no room for error.

[music playing]

There you go, Nick.

Thanks, Pav.

Nothing's broken.

Look in the stick?

Yeah.

Come, let's do this.

We're running out of time.

Again!

NARRATOR: It's now a race towrap the chrome pieces in gloss

black, and everyone pitches in.

[music playing]

The car is fitted up just in time, as Yianni

heads out front to meet Siva.

But there's no sign of him.

I've come outside, there's no one here.

I suppose I've got a surprise.

I don't really like surprises.

[drums playing]

NARRATOR: Siva planned this surprise to make

a splash on his social media.

Big stunts help win more friends and get

greater exposure in additionto being a lot of fun.

[drums playing]

I don't know what do do!

[drums playing]

YIANNI: It feels likesomething out of a movie.

[drums playing]

Wow!

You are-- guys!

Honestly, amazing.

[laughs]

Wow!

Thanks, guys.

I've never seen anythinglike that before in my life.

Yes, flamboyant.

I told you, Yan, my entrance is always going

to be center of attention.

OK, and I can see thatyou've got all the fleet here.

SIVA: I've got all the fleet here.

YIANNI: Time to get the car out.

You know, I'm stillsmiling, I'm still buzzing.

[laughter]

God!

[music playing]

YIANNI: Here it comes.

You ready?

[music playing]

[engine revving]

[music playing]

Wow! [music playing]

[cheering]

Oh, my goodness.

It looks amazing.

Yeah?

Oh, my goodness, I love it.

I love it.

Oh, my goodness.

YIANNI: So you can see thecar's wrapped in chrome gold.

Yeah.

We changed one thing.

Do remember you hadsilver chrome on the car,

and you were like, leave it?

SIVA: Oh, yeah, yeah.

YIANNI: I've done it all gloss black.

SIVA: It looks amazing.

I love the way it's broken down,and I did say before I gave it

in that you should put yourpersonal stamp on it, which

you've done, and it's amazing.

I'm going to drive this everywhere now.

This completes the collection.

Enjoy your four cars.

I'll give you the key to this one, OK?

And, um, mate, enjoy.

Drive safely, and, um, what an entrance.

Smashed it!

Best ever.

NARRATOR: Siva's golden fleet is complete,

and now all eyes will be on him wherever he goes.
