  • I bought the cheapest ($5,000), and really the only, chinese bodykit for the Mclaren 650S project for sake of budget. OEM panels would have easily been 2-3X times that. Here's how it fits! Update time

    being a panel beater myself buy hinges don't try and fix them the dreaded fiberglass body kit look at where the panel gaps are wrong like your wheel arch is tucked in a little for example this is because it was taken out of the mold to soon to fix it you can try putting a heat lamp on the area that is not right get it hot then use a G clamp and 2 flat pieces of wood and clamp it so the fiber glass is where it supposed to be and let it cool it should go back to where it should be do not use a torch a heat lamp or a heat gun get it hot but not crazy hot the fiber glass resin should soften enough to be able to manipulate it it will not take much force find a piece of old fiber glass somewhere and try on it first but remember it is a chineesium body kit so you get what you pay for the high areas just lightly sand and see if they put body filler there if so just sand down to where it suites your car my guess if there is cracking it is a fiber glass kit with a layer of carbon where it is needed cheers from down under

    It's coming along nicely and your honing your skills as you go. Sometimes it's worth paying a pro to get the last bits right before you screw things up and make it worse and more expensive to get right. We got mom's old 08 PT Cruiser repaired and painted the damage after some random guy in a tow truck rammed it from behind while it was parked. Paint shop wanted more than it was worth to fully restore it to perfect so insurance totaled it and we bought it back. I made a deal with the paint shop and they scaled it back to body work on the drivers quarter and a new hatch. They repainted the damaged areas and it turned out great and cost us a grand over the settlement so it was worth it. Now it looks like a low mileage car with some age on it rather then a bent up one with paint damage.
    I probably could have done it mostly with time and hopefully some of the same colored parts but it got done fairly quickly and the shop was easy to work with once we settled on a price and plan.
    You do what works for you and enjoy your toy when it's done 👍

  • @andrewfairhall604

    The smoke issue seems to be a normal Mclaren issue after the sit for a while. Alex gintani was saying on his the oil sits in the feed line for the turbos and after sitting a while bleeds into the turbos and exhaust causing it to burn when running. But take your time aswell brother I'm looking forward to your next video.

  • @GJ2023zwaanblokzijl
    @GJ2023zwaanblokzijl 4 месяца назад

    problems are McLaren has been standing still for too long, which can cause oil to be put in your exhaust and Turbo. Looking through the coating with oil on it indicates that you need a new turbo and exhaust or a good cleaning

    Yeah I had a feeling the parts were going to take some work. I think I said it even when you first showed them that they'd probably need a little work since most body kits I've seen on youtube, even high quality ones, need work. Any of us who've been here since the Chinese electric motorcycle at the previous house, know how much you hustle and work and understand it takes time. So don't worry about the ones complaining, because every channel gets those comments. They just want to see the car done and they say the same garbage to ever other RUclipsr with a project.

    Not always original is better. I am not chinesse, but I have seen and bought horrible bodykits from reputable sources such as CMST and Wicked… it is not about nationality it is about the company or supplier. Having said that, you DO need to go to a Mclaren shop and see the fitment of OEM panel, you would be surprised what a keen eye can discover. Panel gaps in Ferraris and Lambos are horrendous… Porsche are not perfect as well… just to give you knowledge and do not sweat when you see imperfections… it is a wrecked car for GS. If you plan to sell the car, hire a professional for the paint… if you will track the car (as you should), then learn how to paint.
