It will have been WAY more than 3k, that’s wrap money! I’m suggesting they have done a proper job and £10k ain’t a million miles away

 

[Gally]

3k! Who the hell be repainting cars properly for that.

Minimum cost really to our standard, starts around 6 or 7k with the hours we would do. It has way too many varibales though, glass out, engine bay, flat show finish, suspension? Wheels.

Different cars have different issues and stripping also. Last one we completed, a classic was 15k.

Obviously got shmoney off

 

[Gally]

No idea what he would have paid but it's not really relevant on a car like that, higher value and a pretty wealthy guy by all accounts.

 

[Rob_Willow]

Oh my…. 😎

 

[Shmee150]

It's so nice, super happy with the result!

 

[16v_paddy]

maybe if it was a bare shell fully stripped.
Assuming its still black under the bonnet and carpets I susepect closer to £3k.

The cost of just the paint & materials used to paint a Mk1 Clio in it's original normal colour costs close to that these days, nevermind a metallic pearl that's also a colour change

Did you have the engine bay/under carpets/front (not) engine bay done too?

 

[Rojer]

Guess I have my answer on PPF.

Collection day 👍🏻

 

[Jack-C]

Looks and sounds incredible! Mega job by Shmee and the team.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Yeah looks mega!
Will be interesting to hear the cost breakdown. Must had had a good 20k spent on it.

I'd say more than that even. Got to be five figures in the bodywork, let alone the rest.

 

[andybond]

In the video Tim did say it was a hefty 5 figure sum

 

[Chris V6 255]

Tim said he wanted to be up on the car when it’s time to sell on.

That would put the value at 50-55k I reckon to break even / turn a small profit.

30-35k for the car
10k paint
3k cambelt service
7k for general upgrades & labour.

All educated guess work but don’t think I’d be too far out.

 

[Hixle]

Amazing work, it looks fantastic.

Crying out for a set of Pole Positions, if I was being picky 😉

Apparently there are more upgrades incoming so I would imagine seats will be on the list 👍🏻

 

[leeds_182]

Sick.

They make the inside a little bit more special I got rid of the hideous Ph1 steering wheel too.

[Chris V6 255]

Looks like I was pretty close with my estimate 👍🏻
60k if u include all the free bits.

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

LOL when he actually replied to this post.

Only watched the second to last Video. Alot of work for sure.

Still remember thinking about getting one when were mid teens. Got a Z3M Coupe instead.

Amazing looking cars.

 

[yeecup]

Just shows how much free stuff these influencers get. It looks and sounds amazing tbf. Reckon it would fetch more than the quoted price as well easily

 

[c4pob]

Big credit to being honest and open about the freebies and other bits that went into the car. It’s quite refreshing.

Indeed, almost eight grand of free goodies. Given i'm about to drop the engine out of mine, sign me up for some of that! I'll go create a youtube channel now lol

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

At least he is open about it. I bet a lot aren't.

Tommyfyeah, one of the American ones, has started getting loads of grief because he was doing shady deals with people.

 

[loggyboy]

Not free goodies at all. That's like saying advertising agencies should do their work for free. He's got a huge platform and they are effectively paying him in products/services for promotion. Get 2+m subscribers and you can do the same, easy eh?!?
