NARRATOR: In the exclusiveworld of supercars,

if you want yours to stand out, there's

one customizer to call, Yianni.

A social media star, he createsoff 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.

2 million pounds worth ofcar, why would it be easy?

Up for this one?

NARRATOR: Where image is everything.

Oh, my [inaudible].

NARRATOR: And the aim is perfection.

100% percent happy?

A million percent happy.

This time, Yianni is working on an imported

American muscle car.

What, you sent it from Miami to here?

Yeah.

- It took us about-- - A month or something?

Yeah.

NARRATOR: But he's thrown a curveball

when his clients decide theywant him to call the shots.

You're not going to give me anything at all?

- No.- So I can do what I want?

Whatever you want.

He struggles to find the perfect look.

Listen, I need them to lookat that car and be like, oh,

my god, it's amazing.

Rather than be like, huh.

NARRATOR: And mates dropping by to hang out

are a distraction he can't afford.

When I saw you pull up, Iwas like, oh, Lenny's here.

NARRATOR: If he's going to makethis American muscle car roar--

I'm going to get the car out, you ready?

NARRATOR: Early morningNorth London, Yianni gathers

his crew for a briefing.

Guys, quick meeting, please.

Come on, you.

Right.

So next up, we've got Lexi and Fabio.

They've got a Camaro, it's actually her car,

but husband and wife are coming down.

She goes by the name of Petrol Head in Heels.

I don't know.

It's a great name, let's not pick to that.

She's like a fashionista.

She's like a blogger.

She does loads and loadsof stuff on social media,

so she's going to want something out there.

She's got loads of tattoos as well.

Mike, any issuesstripping the Camaro down?

I mean, we don't really do American cars,

but they're built fairlysimple, so, yeah, no problems.

Yeah, for sure?

Wrapping it.

How many Camaros have we wrapped in the past?

I can't even remember.

One or none.

One or none.

OK, I'm not actually surewhat the original color is.

Let's hope it's a dark color, so that way

it's easier to hide things.

When the car gets down here,you'll be stripping it.

You guys will be wrapping it.

Brilliant, guys.

See you shortly.

NARRATOR: An engine roar signalsthe arrival of fashionista Lexi

and husband Fabio in the Camaro.

How you doing? You well?

How about you? You good?

You OK? Hi, Lexy.

How you doing? - Doing well, thank you.

- Good journey down? - Yeah.

Not bad.

How you doing?

I'm excited.

So you got a Camaro, butwhere's the car come from?

Where'd you get it from? - Miami.

- In the UK? - We got it from Miami.

What, you sent it from Miami to here?

- Yeah. - It took us about--

A month.

The whole process, you have to get it--

I'm waiting and waiting.

OK, and what are we doing to it?

Up to you.

Yeah, so basically we've seen a few--

What do you mean?

Well, we've seen a few Camaros kind of lurking

around where we live, and wethought we'd be the only ones,

but we're not, so we'd like foryou to make it the only one.

Make it special.

When you say me, you're not going

to give me anything at all?

No.

- So I can do what I want?- Whatever you want.

Up to you. Like free rein.

- I don't believe it. - Yeah.

Yeah, whatever.

We trust you.

You know what, let Yianni do his thing.

OK, I need some sort of help.

You're a little bit funky.

I can see you got tattoos.

I can see you're a bit out there,

and I know you're a fashion blogger.

Yes, I am, fellow, you know, representing.

So this car is going tobe seen by a lot of people.

I'm sure you're going to be putting it

on your social media platforms?

Yes, I am hopefully, butit's got to be chic, Yianni.

Something bold, vibrant, make it light special.

Are we happy to go bright, in your face?

But-- - Not in your face.

I'm simple, she's a bitedgy, so it needs to be edgy,

but also you know--

Can I do the car half and half?

So I'll do one color on one side and one color--

or front and back.

You could do whatever you want.

This car, when do you need it done by?

Kind of like ASAP.

We're going away next week, so--

You're taking the car?

Taking the car with us.

Why does everyone haveto put me under pressure?

- Greece.- You're taking it to Greece?

- Yeah. - OK, nice.

It needs to be ready to roll.

Wheels on, you know.

I've got a proper contrast here.

You want to go all out, chic, stylish.

Let's make it smooth, subtle, don't want

it to be too much out there.

Yeah.

Yeah, see ya later.

NARRATOR: Muscle cars are allabout big engines and laser

performance, and with a massive 580 horsepower

from its 6.2 liter V8 engine,the Camaro is one of the best.

Yianni needs to deliver alook for this car, which

matches the contrasting styles of his clients,

and makes the Camarostand out from the crowd.

Is he up for the challenge?

Yianni's reputation meanspeople often give him the power

to make big decisions.

He's known for his taste andis always at the cutting edge

when it comes to car styling.

It might seem strange, but I'm used

to people chucking me theirkeys and saying, Yian,

do your thing.

What we try to do here is set the trends.

Everyone looks at us as the leaders

so we need to make sure we deliver.

NARRATOR: While Yianni plans thecolor change, the strip begins.

Luckily the Camaro isblack and the perfect base

for any color wrap so thedoors don't need to come off.

So we don't often do thatmany American cars, so I've

got to double check, seewhat's holding these parts on,

but I'm sure it'll come off eventually.

There we go.

And she's off.

NARRATOR: To be UK road legal, Lexi and Fabio

have had their wing mirrors fitted

with LED indicator repeaters.

Pav needs to work throughthe bird's nest of wiring

to free the door mirror.

Obviously, because it's from the States,

they add indicators soit's road legal in the UK,

so you got three LEDs here, so what I've done

is I have added an extra wire.

So we need to cut the wire, and off we go.

NARRATOR: The strip's going well so

the pressure is now on Yiannito come up with a design scheme

and fast.

Bert, you gotta help me out here.

Fabio and Lexi, really,Yian, do whatever you want.

OK.

Well, the think is for me, Ineed them to look at that car

and be like, oh my god, it's amazing.

Rather than be like oh.

Why don't we look at her social media?

If you have a look at this,look at the different colors

there, green, pink purple.

Look at her nails.

OK, do you remember our suppliercalled us and said they've

got that limited edition color,like that flip psychedelically

thing?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But we haven't done it before.

Wow.

Is that not risky?

Risk is the spice of life, mate.

That actually matches her nailsquite well in this picture.

Well, Fabio, her husband, is a bit--

Oh, yeah, they'recomplete chalk and cheese.

Yeah. If we get this wrong--

And the problem we've got iswe've never done that before.

- A one off color, order it.- Let's do it.

Cheers, baby.

If they don't like it,I'll say that you chose it.

Cheers, Bertie.

That's one job done.

NARRATOR: But before the new wrap can begin,

the old wrap has to be stripped off.

The Camaro arrived fromthe USA with a silver front

to back stripe.

Decals can be quitefiddely to get off if they're

not heated up properly.

NARRATOR: The previous vinyl stripe was custom

trimmed to size on the car.

Something Yianni would never allow

his team to do as it risks cutting

the paintwork underneath.

The car was wrapped before.

They had some stripe on top, and they

made some bare cutting marks on the car,

and they're showing through the vinyl.

NARRATOR: Sure enough, Vasfinds damage on the paint.

The cuts need work.

Vinyl wrap needs a flat,clean surface to stick to.

Those white lines, those are cut marks.

NARRATOR: Vas has to wastevaluable time sanding back

the surface as flat as he can.

Vinyl won't stick there.

I have to rub down all around these edges,

so we're going to have tosculpt the line everywhere.

NARRATOR: What was supposedto be a simple stripping job

has hit a snag.

But while Vas is sweating, Yianni's

out and about in his 320Grand Lamborghini Aventador S.

So I'm out of the garage.

I've got a little window, we're going

to go see Lenny the Geezer.

He's a good friend of mine.

Like Yianni, Lenny is big on social media,

and that's how they met.

Hello, mate.

[interposing voices] - Don't worry about it.

I was in the area.

You look really busy, mate.

You look really busy like always.

I am.

Always busy.

There's nothing on the screens.

Your notepad is empty.

The new car's here, isn't it?

What, the Golf?

MK 7 Golfer. - It's turned up?

- Yeah. - No way.

- Yeah, man. - OK.

- It's here. - Let's go see it.

Come have a look, yeah?

Cool.

There it is, mate.

Look at that. - Whoa.

She's shiny.

Brand spanking new.

NARRATOR: Yianni and Lenny love cars.

This Golf looks conventional,but it's crazy fast.

The [inaudible] doesnaught to 60 miles an hour

in 4.6 seconds.

As ever, Yianni hopesthere's a job in it for him.

Love it.

I want to go mad with this on, bro.

- Go on. - Mad.

Serious?

Rose gold chrome, like purpletiger strikes from the back,

21-inch chrome alloys, go in.

You're kidding, right?

- Like mad. - Your rear end.

You're lying.

Yeah, I'm just literallyjust front window tints.

- Is that it?- Yeah, if you can fit me in.

It's perfect. Look at it.

It don't need anything else.

I'm really, really famousand important now so I

don't want people to see me.

Light smoke or medium?

Light smoke, please.

And literally, that is it?

- Chief one. - Sick.

All right.

See you soon, yeah?

NARRATOR: Back in the garage, Vas

is finishing the rear spoiler.

It's now ready for the vinylYianni has hand-picked.

I'm kind of fussy about things.

They need to be perfect every single time.

NARRATOR: Under the workshop lights,

the color looks subtle likeFabio, but in the sunlight,

Yianni hopes it will sparklelike Lexi's personality.

It's a gamble though.

Lexi and Fabio came to me for something unique

and that would really stand out.

It's a limited edition vinylthat's never been used before,

and it's going to be real special.

The problem is I've chose thevinyl and they might hate it.

But there's nothing we can do now,

they've already started laying it.

NARRATOR: Yianni has beenasked to create a unique look

for a rare American muscle car.

Trouble is the owners can't agree on a style.

Are we happy to go bright, in your face?

Not in your face.

NARRATOR: They've left it toYianni to find the solution

and choose the perfect color wrap.

Up to you.

- I don't believe you. - Yeah.

Free rein, whatever.

We trust you.

NARRATOR: Body work problemshave been holding up the job.

They've done bare cut marks on the car.

NARRATOR: The client needs thiscar for a road trip in Greece.

The deadline can't be moved, there's

no turning back on the color.

There's nothing we can do now, we've

already started laying it.

We struggle a bit.

This panel was kind of tricky to lay,

but this side is pretty much done.

One to go.

NARRATOR: Like most Americancars, the body panels are big

and they take a lot of vinyl.

The wheels have come off thecar to give them room to wrap.

Vas and Mikey remove thebacking so the sticky underside

can be laid on the paintwork.

It needs a lot of strength and skills

to stretch the wrap over the panels

and get the right tension on the material.

The heat gun softens the heavy vinyl so it

can fit around complex shapes.

It's looking A-OK.

On time and as arranged, Lenny the Geezer

has dropped in for thewindow tints on his Golf.

Here he is.

I thought you forgot about me.

I'm going to be honest with you, bro--

- You didn't. - I did.

When I saw you pull up, Iwas like, oh, Lenny's here.

NARRATOR: Front window tintscan be done in around an hour,

so there's time for a catch up in the office.

[inaudible] tea?

Yeah, do you know,we'll have a tea, please?

Lenny, I ain't gonna lie--

Sorry.

Selective hearing.

Tea?

Should I do tea?

Three teas, please, no sugar for me.

[inaudible]

NARRATOR: There's a bit of debate downstairs

too when floor manager Alexchecks out Lenny's new motor.

Hi, Alex, you all right?

This is top of the range.

This is just a Golf, man.

300 [inaudible] horsepower.

It's still a VW, man.

Perfect car.

All wheel drive.

Look around, yeah,Lambos, M4s, AMGs, Ferraris,

and then he brings Golf.

That has the potential tobe as fast as all of those.

You can say penguin gotthe potential to be a bird,

but it will never fly.

What?

NARRATOR: Window tints are hugely popular

in the customized car world.

For around 50 pounds a window,anyone can get the limo look.

But like Lenny, you need to stayon the right side of the law

as going too dark is illegal.

With these guys it's all about the pranks.

Yianni plans to giveLenny an unexpected extra.

Vas is preparing something on the digital printer,

and Lenny is none the wiser.

Guys, got it.

NARRATOR: After an hour, Lenny's Golf is ready,

and even though it's just had a little tint,

Yianni does the full reveal.

- Ready? - Yeah.

- You excited? - Of course.

[inaudible].

- After you, mate.- You wait there, Princess.

Yeah, all right.

All right, cool.

Hope you like it.

NARRATOR: They've worked for 40 minutes.

Here it comes.

NARRATOR: Lenny made four cups of tea.

Now the Golf is ready to roll.

I'm really happy with it.

So it balances out a little bit, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'm please.

I think it just gives the balance.

It's nice.

I'm very grateful.

- Listen, I know you love me.- Yeah.

And I'll always remind you of that.

Thank you, mate, I really appreciate it.

I love Yianni.

- I love Yianni. - You do.

I know you do.

You know what, you can have your keys.

- Thanks. - Give me a hug.

I'll see you later.

Nice one.

I love Yianni.

Yep, he sure does.

NARRATOR: Lenny the Geezer can'twait to show off his new motor.

I wonder when he'll discoverYianni the prankster

added a rear bumper sticker.

For the team, every job isabout perfection and detail.

The Camaro's bumper is the most difficult

part of the car to wrap as it's big

and has a very pointed shape.

It's a struggle to get the vinyl to fit.

If they overstretch it, thenthey will damage the vinyl

and ruin the subtle sparkleeffect Yianni is going for.

[inaudible] having it onfront bumper issues, any?

When you lay thebumper, you start straight

with the angle in the middle.

Normally, you have just the flat bumper.

It's actually a very, very big bumper.

Yeah.

What about the insert?

Did you add satin black?

We've done in satin blackto give that aggressive look.

Great job so far, mate.

Thank you.

NARRATOR: With the wrap complete,

it's time to put the Camaro back together.

Brandon reapplies the Camaro lettering.

To be honest, this is quite difficult,

this batch, only because I haven't

really got a lot to template.

I've just got the wing and the edge is so--

You spelling that correctly?

Yes, I am, Mike, you idiot.

NARRATOR: Mike is testing each part

as he refits it, as the carmust be ready for the road trip.

They can't afford any problems, but--

Slight issue with this.

There is power there.

Upstairs, Yianni gets acall from Lexi and Fabio.

Fabio, how you doing?

Hey, Lexi, you cool, babe?

Doing very well, thank you.

What's happening?

So we're heading on holiday tomorrow

and we're hoping the cars ready to roll?

I assume you haven't gotany issues me taking it out,

make sure there's no shakein the steering wheel

and the brakes are all fine.

Is that OK to do that?

Are you literally gone, soonce you collect it from here,

that's it, you're out of here?- Yeah.

Gone.

Wow.

You lucky, lucky people.

All right, guys, take care.

I'm going to put the wheels back on the car,

and I'll see you guys soon.

See you later.

Bye bye.

NARRATOR: The clock is ticking,Lexi and Fabio arrive tomorrow.

The pressure is on Mike.

He has to strip the wing mirror to try and find

the faults with the LEDs.

Yianni's team have to be adaptable and turn

their hands to any challenge.

So the problem's down toyour positive, the negative,

is tapped in, and that's where it goes.

So literally cut it back,solder it back together.

Oh, yeah.

NARRATOR: Luckily, Mike has the expertise

to sort this troublesome wiringglitch and keep the lights on.

Lovely.

NARRATOR: Deadline day.

But before the Camaro is allowed to leave,

it must pass Yianni's final inspection.

He's happy with the wrap, but Yianni

wants to make sure his clientshave a stress free holiday.

So he road tests the car to make sure everything

works perfectly.

And he wants to know if it really

will turn heads as he planned.

I'm actually gone over thetop on this steering right

and left just to make surethere's no knocking noises.

So it's a nice bright day, you got

kids over there just lookingour way, you can see that.

Wow, there's so much power at the wheels.

Wow.

Yeah, this is a great car.

NARRATOR: Lexi and Fabio are on their way,

but will these contrastingcharacters love

Yianni's hand-picked new look?

Hey, how you doing?

So let me just give you a quick rundown.

This car is an American muscle car.

It's your baby, needs to look amazing.

Yeah.

Needs to run smooth as well.

Needs to run smooth, makesure the wheels don't fall off

when you're driving to Greece.

So the color we've chose,it's the first time

we've ever done this color.

Limited edition.

Oh, excite.

I'm so excited.

So just relax.

Relax.

Chill.

OK, the sun is shining soit's probably the perfect time

to bring the car out. Are we ready?

Oh, let's. Shall we.

Shall we. I can't--

You just want it out here?

I'm going to bang the shutter, OK?

Here it comes.

I'm nervous.

Oh my god.

Wow.

That's insane.

That is so cool.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Yeah, definitely?

Yeah.

Listen, I can take it, yeah.

I can take it.

If you say you don't like it.

No.

What do you mean don't like it?

Pow.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my god.

Well, it was meant to be.

So you guys trusted us,is this color unique enough

for you?

Yeah.

Yes, it just keeps changing colors.

It's incredible.

Different lights obviouslygive it a different effect.

It can be blue.

It can be purple.

It can be green.

It's incredible.

We've done the spoiler.

The grill is done as well.

I'd say it a lot, but little details

make all the difference.

I like how subtle it is, but then when

the sun shines it just pops.

This is really going to stand out.

It was meant to be.

You knew.

It's just going to be the star of the show.

100% happy?

Oh.

Yeah?

A million percent happy.

I'll give you the keys.

Take care, enjoy.

Take care, guys, I'll see you soon.

See you later.

Oh my god, shall we?

Let's do it.

NARRATOR: Lexi and Fabio wanteda car with two personalities

to reflect their characters.

It could have been Jekyll and Hyde,

but Yianni has created a uniquemuscle car, a case of Beauty

and the Beast.

They don't call me the Wrap King for nothing.
