NARRATOR: In this exclusive world

of supercars, if you want yours to stand out,

there's one customiser 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.

2 million pounds worth of car.

Why would it be easy?

Up for this one?

NARRATOR: Where image is everything.

Oh my days, bruv.

NARRATOR: And the aim is perfection.

100% happy?

A million percent happy.

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: Yianni is handeda stunning Ferrari for

a controversial transformation.

The client is a perfectionist.

He piles on the pressure.

I'm fussy.

Very fussy.

NARRATOR: But this complex supercar

pushes the team to the limits.

Went down on its own.

NARRATOR: And there's lastminute fury when a mistake

leaves a client waiting.

If it's not on the jobsheet, it don't mean shit.

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: That VH roar is a Ferrari 458 Spider,

a car Yianni knows well.

He used to own one wrapped in rose gold.

It's given by Gee, who's had four wraps before

and is a valued client and friend.

YIANNI: Yo.

How are you doing, my brother?

She's a beauty, mate.

Wow, look at the wheels.

- You like it, yeah? - I love this.

It looks great in white.

Why are we wrapping it?

This car is something close to me.

It's like a baby.

And I want it to be something exclusive.

I own a really exclusive car hire company.

We deal with nothing but the high end vehicles.

YIANNI: Yeah.

GEE MASON: It needs to represent me

and needs to represent my company,

for when my clients look at this car,

they know Gee's [inaudible].

Right.

So what color are you thinking, then?

What color could do thatwhen you turn up somewhere?

Rose gold was how many years ago?

Now, it's about nardo grey.

YIANNI: Nardo grey.

Are we doing the whole car in nardo grey,

or are we going to break it up?

GEE MASON: I'd like to have the wheels

as they are, the calipersthe same color as the car,

nardo gray.

YIANNI: OK.

GEE MASON: You might want tochange the color of the roof

from satin black possibly to gloss black.

YIANNI: OK.

So I'll phone you halfway through,

and if we don't think it works,we'll strip the satin black off

and go gloss black.

Either go gloss black ornardo gray, one of the two.

But make sure it looksbetter than your old one.

- Gee. - I'll see you later.

- See you later, bro. - Take care, buddy.

YIANNI: Take it easy.

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: The 458 convertiblewith electric roof,

known as the Spider.

It has a top speed of 199 milesper hour and costs 200 grand.

Purists say red is theonly color for a Ferrari,

so going gray is always going tobe controversial, even if it is

the current cool custom color.

[upbeat music]

[car revving]

The team has three days toturn the Italian around.

YIANNI: Guys, let's have you in, please.

She's in, the lovely Ferrari 458 Spider.

I love the red and white.

The wheels are amazing.

How much do you reckon they're worth?

They're about 10,000 pound, these wheels.

OK.

Right, so the car's white.He's bored.

He said it's an old stylecar, old fashioned white.

Yeah, all right.

YIANNI: He's going-- you ready for this?

And I love this color.

Nardo gray.

No, I don't like it.

Really?

MIKE: I don't like it.

I think nardo gray with thered wheels and the red interior

is going to really pop.

No, I think a matte gray would work better.

[inaudible]

Just because you don't like the color,

you need to make sure it is still

an amazing job, obviously.

Of course.

That goes without a say.

Right, so Ferrari 458.

Mike, you're stripping this car.

Yeah.

As you can see, it's theSpider version convertible.

It's white.

It's going to be a full strip.

But one of the main issues is obviously,

we're going to have to stripthe doors and everything

before the vehicle goes up in the air because

of the convertible roof.

If the car is not level, then the roof

sometimes doesn't work.

As you know, in the past,we've had this issue.

So I'd probably say have theroof down, do all the work, OK?

And then once you put thecar back on the floor,

then put the roof back up, yeah?

OK, so that's stripping the car down.

Vasile, wrapping this bad boy.

Yeah, so if the bumper doesn't come off

or this part doesn't comeoff, there's going to be,

like, a really hard job.

YIANNI: I don't think we've got a choice.

I think the bump has to comeoff because you're going

to need to get the lights out.

Yeah, no problem.

Yeah, we'll just do it.

YIANNI: Mike, you'll probablybe doing the doors like usual.

These are, like,sophisticated, I would say.

Alex, do you know what that word means?

ALEX: Yeah.

[laughter]

We'll take that as a no,OK, and we'll move on swiftly.

OK, well, listen, let's get this car stripped

and let's get to work on it.

We have got zero time on this.

No.

Must be the first one.

Yeah.

Don't shoot the messenger.

You book them in.

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: This job has a lot of elements.

They all go down on a worksheet, which

stays on the windscreen ofthe car from start to finish.

[upbeat music]

The team work to strip downthe Ferrari because white paint

is highly visible unless all the recesses are

completely wrapped.

MIKE: Careful and slide it out slowly.

That's it.

Don't look at the mirror.

You might crack it.

[upbeat music]

Do you ever get the feelingsomeone's watching you?

- Be careful, guys. - Yep.

No pressure when the boss isstanding right behind you,

yeah? Ready?

Let's go.

Careful.

Slowly.

Go. Go.

Lift. All right, come in.

Slowly over here.

[inaudible] Nice.

Get the wheels off.

Get her up.

Let's get her wrapped.

[mechanical whirring]

So I've got Alex on my back about this car.

Take in.

Take care. Do this.

Do that.

You know what?

He better watch his step.

YIANNI: All right, Mike,let's get these wheels off.

Don't forget.

10 grand wheels right here, yeah.

No pressure, mate.

Right.

[mechanical whirring]

[upbeat music]

OK. I've got it.

You sure?

You have four 10,000 pound wheels.

[upbeat music]

Lovely.

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

[upbeat music]

Mike, what are you doing over there?

What are you doing, man?

Nothing.

The bucket's just filling up.

[laughter]

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: Mike wants the roof partially open

so he can get access underneath, but he's

fighting the safety system,which wants the roof

to be fully open or closed.

[beeping]

Before he can finish, thewarning alarm is activated.

The roof closes and won't reopen.

He's locked out.

MIKE: It's overheated on me, so I'm

going to have to wait a few minutes for it

to cool down and then open the roof fully.

It's temperamental.

NARRATOR: It may be half an hour before the roof

is cooled enough to reboot.

They can't afford for this to keep happening.

[upbeat music]

Yianni's got a fleet of cars.

He changes motors every few months.

His social media fans loveto guess what he'll buy next

and what color he'll wrap it.

[upbeat music]

He's off to confirm an orderon an 80,000 pound model.

Today, I'm ordering my brand new Velar.

No one's got one.

They've literally just come outof production from Range Rover.

I want to be one of the first,so I'm heading down there

to see the boys, letthem show me the vehicle,

and hopefully, I'll order my new car.

[upbeat music]

- How are you doing, mate?- How are you doing, mate?

You well? - Yeah.

Yeah. Come in.

Come in. - Wow, you're busy.

It's proper busy, yeah.

NARRATOR: Yianni likesstanding out from the crowd,

so he always wraps his cars.

But Simon creates the latest cutting edge body kits

and mods for Range Rovers--

YIANNI: Wow.

NARRATOR: So Yianni's keento bolt on these extras,

too, for a unique look.

SIMON DEARN: So you're going to get everything.

Front and rear bumperschanged to exposed carbon.

All of the color coating so you can wrap over

the top of the plastic areas.

23 inch wheels, extra wideand staggered on the back.

Extended wheel arches called fender flares.

They push your car out a little bit more,

give you a bigger stance.

[upbeat music]

YIANNI: Wow.

So that is going to be real powerful.

Going to be in front of everyone.

And once the wraps on it, it's game over.

Kill it.

Let's go and order it, mate.YIANNI: Let's do it.

Brilliant.

NARRATOR: Simon will turn the customization

work around in two days.

Yianni's social media fans won't have

to wait long to see his nextcar in its factory fresh paint.

[upbeat music]

The Ferrari is stripped, butit's taken longer than planned.

Vas and Mikey begin towork the nardo gray wrap.

But it seems Gee's controversialcolor is a marmite choice.

What do you think?

Hate this color.

Really?

Yeah.

Looks like primer.

No, but it's got a bit of gloss to it.

Once it's finished, it's going to look wicked.

Don't thing so.

NARRATOR: As Vas and Mikeymove to the rear of the car,

a decision has to be made about what color

to wrap the retractable roof.

[phone ringing]

I'm calling him.

[phone ringing]

Gee.

GEE MASON [ON PHONE]: [inaudible]

You just woke up, didn't you?

GEE MASON [ON PHONE]:About 10 minutes ago, yeah.

YIANNI: Gee, listen, I'mjust working on your car.

I personally don't think the satin black works.

GEE MASON [ON PHONE]: On the roof?

On the roof.

I think it needs to go nardo gray.

GEE MASON [ON PHONE]: You do it then, bro.

Yeah, you cool with that, yeah?

GEE MASON [ON PHONE]: Yeah,of course I am, bruvver.

That's what I thought in the first place anyway,

but I just wanted to give it to you.

[inaudible]

I'll let you go back to bed, mate, yeah?

GEE MASON [ON PHONE]: [inaudible]

Later, Gee. Bye, mate.

Bye bye.

OK, guys, we'll get the car on the floor.

Let's get the roof done. Cool?

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: The boys start with the roof down,

but they need to position it halfway

open to tuck all the vinyl in.

[upbeat music]

But once again, this causedthe mechanism to overheat.

This is the moment we've[inaudible] a million times.

Going down and going down.

NARRATOR: With thedeadline looming tomorrow,

this is another damaging and unpredictable delay.

We're going to try and obviously reset.

Kind of a basic reset wherewe will switch the car off,

unlock it, put the key back in, start her up.

Let's give this a go.

[beeping]

She's a bit hot, this one is.

[beeping]

No.

Ain't happening.

[beeping]

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: Yianni has boughta new Range Rover Velar.

Now, he's waiting for thebody to be customized.

SIMON DEARN: So you're going to get everything.

All of the color coating so you can wrap over

the top of the plastic areas.

NARRATOR: Back in theworkshop, the color choice

on the convertible Ferrari is causing concern.

- I don't like it. - Really?

I don't like it.

NARRATOR: The team under pressure

from a real perfectionist.

When my clients look at this car,

they know Gee's [inaudible].

NARRATOR: To make matters worse,the complex electronic roof

mechanism keeps overheating.

[beeping]

[upbeat music]

They're behind schedule, sowrap brothers Mark and Nicco

are drafted in to help.

[upbeat music]

First, they apply the grayvinyl to the front of the car.

[upbeat music]

Then, they remove the bumperso they can fully wrap

the precision designed curves.

It's going to be a littlebit tricky because it's white.

We have to hide everything on this one,

so we have to do it right.

NARRATOR: This is time consuming skilled work.

Unlike the bumpers, the roof can't be removed.

Vas is trying to get backon track, but it's not easy.

Stop right there.

Thank you.

Of all the cars we usuallydo with convertibles,

this is the most annoying one of them,

just because this overheating thing.

NARRATOR: The roof will only stay in position

for a few minutes beforethe safety sensors kick in

and it automatically closes.

Vas works fast, aware the roof could

close, trapping his fingers.

VAS: I have to finish this quickly

and make sure he's not closing.

Rush, rush, rush.

So this car is up and down.

It's up and now.

It's like Yianni's mood, pretty much.

That's it.

NARRATOR: Deadline day for the Ferrari.

The team have got the car back on schedule,

and upstairs in the office, Yianni has

found a new way of relaxing.

Working hard as usual.

YIANNI: What do you mean working hard?

I'm always working.

The stress I go through, G,sometimes, I need to relax.

My son's been teaching me.

I'm really good at this, G, now.

G. I'm just excited because my car's coming.

Well, then, he's messaged me.

[upbeat music]

Oh, it's coming now.

[upbeat music]

[cheering]

He's here.

I'll see you later.

[upbeat music]

[cheering]

[upbeat music]

Oh, [inaudible].

Oh, wow.

SIMON DEARN: There you go.

YIANNI: I love getting a new car.

Wow.

[upbeat music]

I really like the rose gold bits on the front.

I see them on the grill, as well.

Yeah, grill, top, sides.

YIANNI: I think that really, really works.

SIMON DEARN: I thought you'dwrap him straight away.

It's got the big wheels, the 23 inch.

23 inch wheels down there.

Side steps.

It's in low mode.

Check out the handles.

In, out.

[laughter]

I love that.

SIMON DEARN: Nice andfuturistic, goes with the car.

Fun for the boys actually wrapping that, though.

Oh, yeah, exactly.

It's better than what I thought it would be.

How did it drive?

It's a V6 supercharged, so it goes pretty well.

Mate, listen.

Happy?

Over the moon.

Honestly amazing.

Thank you so much, Si.

I feel like I want toactually look around this car

and decide what I'm going to do.

She would look so good in rose gold.

NARRATOR: To get this custom look,

Yianni has spent a five figure sum

on top of the purchase price.

Now, he's planning a wrap, too.

But what color to go?

[upbeat music]

Pav's focus is on completingthe job without delay.

Come on, baby.

Don't let me down.

So I fitted the door card upand I noticed that this mirror

isn't fitted right, so I needto now take the door card off,

tighten up the mirror,put the door card back on,

and carry on working on the car.

But yeah, I'm happy.

[upbeat music]

NARRATOR: Everyone is workingwith focus because the deadline

is now upon them.

PAV: Keep an eye on the top.

[tense music]

OK, cool.

Let go.

NARRATOR: Gee will arrive in minutes,

but the Ferrari is in pieces.

[drilling]

It's a close one, butfinally, the team get the car

wrapped in time for delivery.

But will Yianni sign off?

Are we done?

PAV: Yeah.

Just giving it a final check.- All right.

The car needs to go outside now.

[tense music]

The car's been stressful throughout because it's

been a massive strip down andthe vinyl, is it all gray?

Is it gloss black?

Is it satin black?

I just need to get the carcomplete and get it outside

and hope Gee likes the car.

[upbeat music]

- What's happening, brother?- How are you?

GEE MASON: I'm good. - You well?

I'm good, mate.

I'm a little nervous.

You, nervous?

I'll tell you why.

So me and my team in there have been

talking about your car a lot.

OK.

It's gone both ways.

Some people love it.

Some people hate it.

It's not like they're sitting on the fence.

I know when the car comes out, you're

going to tell me straight.

And if the car comes out and you don't like it--

I'm saying to take it all back off.

Simple as that, Yianni.

I'm fussy.

Very fussy.

Very fussy.

Yianni, [inaudible].

What's going on now?

No one's ever mentioned the wing mirrors to me.

How do I not know?

Gee wanted gloss black in here.

How do I not know about it?

Was it on the job sheet?

It should be on the job sheet.

No one else is to blame except for you upstairs.

NARRATOR: Burt is in the firing line.

Gee's wing mirror detail wasn't on the job sheet.

YIANNI: I say it all the time.

Job sheets. Job sheets.

Job sheets.

Job sheets.

He's outside now, and now,I've got to deliver the car.

[tense music]

Nicco, Mark.

NARRATOR: It needs to bedone now and in record time.

[tense music]

YIANNI: Are we done?

Yeah.

I'm just giving it a final check.

Ready to go.

Sorry about that, bro.

No worries.

What have you been doing to it?

We just had a bit of an argument

with a couple of the team in there.

They forgot something on the car.

We're friends, but at the endof the day, you're a customer.

You're a paying client.

Of course.

So Gee, sorry about that.

GEE MASON: Don't worry, bruvver.

OK, let's get the car out.

I just hope you're smiling.

So do I.

NARRATOR: This wrap hasdivided opinion from day one.

Gee wants to bring his Ferrari [inaudible]

today in nardo gray, butdoes this contemporary color

suit the flowing lines ofthe Italian thoroughbred?

YIANNI: Here it comes.

[car revving]

[upbeat music]

Oh my god.

[music playing]

[SINGING] Everybody wants to live my life.

It looks so different.

The color.

YIANNI: What are we saying?

Seriously.

YIANNI: If you don't like it,say, "You know what, Yianni?

I don't like it.

I don't like the color."

I love it.

Burt hates it.

I want to know where you're--

Yeah, I'll be honest with you.

I'm in shock still.

Apart from my wheels,doesn't look like my car.

There's no shine to it no more.

It's like it's in primer.

I'm not saying it doesn't look good,

but I'll tell you what we do.- Yeah.

Let's put this car onto your social media.

OK.

If the public love it, it stays.

If the public don't like it, it's coming straight

back to you for another color.

YIANNI: I'll tell you what.

GEE MASON: What's that?

YIANNI: I'll re-wrap your carfor free if people blow it up

and they say they hate it.

I go the majority will love it.

That's how confident I am.

Deal.

Deal.

[tense music]

NARRATOR: Yianni uploadsthe photos of the Ferrari

while Gee checks the work in detail.

OK.

What's the comments saying?

Come on, followers.

I believe in you all.

[tense music]

First comment, thumbs down.

GEE MASON: OK.

YIANNI: Second comment, unique.

Third comment, thumbs down.

Fourth comment, thumbs up, thumbs down.

Wrap looks good.

Love.

Just needs black tints on the wheels.

Epic.

Color looks epic.

Savage.

Sick.

Beautiful color.

Love it.

Love.

One of the best looking colors I've ever seen.

Love.

Just needs yellow Ferrari calipers.

Wheels in silver would look better.

Wicked.

I like nardo gray.

I love nardo gray.

Please do this to your Lambo.

Nardo is the best.

I don't like it.

Looks sick.

Love the color combo.

That is 90% of the people love it.

[upbeat music]

- So do I. - Yeah?

GEE MASON: Thank you.

Thank you, brother.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

See you soon, bro.

Take care, yeah?

My followers, they never ever let me down.

[upbeat music]

GEE MASON: To be honest with you,

it was mixed feelings at first.

But the more I'm looking at thecar, the more I'm loving it.

I think it's growing on me quite fast.

NARRATOR: So the Ferrari won over social media.

A few weeks later, Yiannirevealed his own bold color

choice for his wrapped Velar.

But what did his followers think?

[upbeat music]

Top banana.

[MUSIC - DEREK LEWARS AND JEAN LUC LABASSE, "AROUND WE GO"]

[SINGING] Go.

Go. I'm high.

You're low.

I never know how you're going to be.

It's a crazy world, I know,but you're my destiny.

And we're not going to jumble, so around we go.

Around we go.

Around we go.

Around we go.
