BUILDING A £500,000 AMG GT FROM TEMU

[@jacksat2252]

I would clearcoat that “carbon fiber “ to be sure it is UV-protected and prevent it from becoming yellow You never know what was used.

[@chiganuggoo9929]

The thing is, all of these UK based companies that have popped up selling carbon kit for cars are just using the same suppliers and adding 1000's on top for their cut. You can save so much going direct, but obviously you have to take your chance if something doesn't fit or is broken, as customer service is going to be a challenge, not being in the UK.

[@swilleh_]

@@chiganuggoo9929 i'm from russia (yeah, unfortunately) and we are buying a lot stuff from aliexpress, customer support is actually great (well at least in my 300-400 orders). Just don't buy shady shit like "REEL STIRING LAMBARGINI WEEL". Although i'm not buying a lot these days and i never had to sent anything back because the fee for sending it back was far greater than the product itself (like the product is 10$ and to sent it back i have to pay 20$ which doesn't work for anyone because no one will return those money to you.). They have (i hope they still have) an option to refund half of the money that you paid for a broken/damaged product without sending).

[@TheTechnoaddict]

The prices of the kit are so high to keep the black series exclusive.

[@WPD77]

Black series is a completely different car, based around the GT3 racecar, limited build numbers so parts prices will always be high.

[@edmundbelcher7712]

Also, with the run number of the car being so limited they’ll have to charge huge amounts to recoup some of the money it would have cost on the parts. I work in the automotive carbon world and would ball park the it costing Mercedes around 10k per bonnet from a reputable brand. Once you add design and tooling cost they’ll they’ll probably be putting a 50% mark up on the part

[@TheTechnoaddict]

@@WPD77 yes but 30k for a bonnet is ridiculous, even for a gt3. And the chassis is just a normal chassis. Doesn't even come close to a gt3.

[@WPD77]

​@@TheTechnoaddictBlack series is a completely different car including the chassis.

[@TheTechnoaddict]

@@WPD77 but still a normal street legal chassis. Not like the gt3.

[@lordn22]

I know it sounds crazy but you need to disconnect the aluminium inserts and rivets from the carbon fiber by wrapping one layer of tape around them you will struggle heavily with galvanic corrosion within a year because the aluminium reacts with the carbon. Trust me i do this for a living Google it if you don't but make shure not to have aluminium on carbon fiber

Ali dose have some proper stores on there but you'd have to be careful and read all the descriptions etc. And the kits looking pretty good for where you purchased it from because admittedly they are usually mass produced items. I would person try to hire a 3D scanner and take a scan of all of the parts (I know it would be tedious) just in case a piece gets damaged so you could make your own replacement part or have one made from the render scan. Looking forward to seeing this finished though, the wing alone looks spot on

[@paulwoodward9659]

David Beckham will be so pleased you called Ali Express semi dodgy 🤣🤣🤣

[@Streetbhp]

The reason for the skirts in a few pieces, is for shipping purposes. So when they produce these kits, they also sell them seperate to the entire kit. They have a length requirement to meet certain shipping criteria. So by making them fit into a shorter box, shipping is therefore cheaper. Source TRUST ME. Alot of experience buying parts from China.
