FITTING A $700,000 BODYKIT TO THE WRECKED BUGATTI CHIRON

I'm so close to rebuilding the six million dollar Bugatti Chiron Persport.But there's one thing now that's really slowing us down.

I can't believe that's how it comes along.

And that is the body panels.Since Bugatti decided early on there wasn't going to sell us any parts for this car.We just don't think it's safe.We've had to improvise and make everything ourselves.

It's looking good.Insane.There it is.

That's including tearing the car in half, fixing gearbox mounts, putting them back together and even driving it again for the first time.

She's done so well.I'm so proud.

And none of which Bugatti thought was possible.You can't do that in a garage.There's just a few places in the world with the right equipment and only a few people in the world to be able to do that.

But in order to finish this car, we're gonna need body panels.and headlights and making these is going to be pretty difficult.It looks like our wait is over.What's in this box is about to change this Bugatti Chiron for good.

What just happened?I'm just in shock.What's in that box?I can't believe it.It's coming all the way from Dubai on a helicopter.

Service.but it got here a lot quicker than what the fuel control module has got from France to the UK.

Alex, what is in that box?You want me to be fair?I have no bloody idea what's in the box.I have no idea.But shortly we will find out.I promise you that.

Now neither me nor Alex know exactly what's inside that box because we put our trust in Venom.

You guys said you needed it fast.This was as fast as we could get it here.

And as some of you may know, they make insane body kits for cars.all the way over in Dubai.And we reached out to them in hopes that they could build us the standard body panels to rebuild this Chiron.But with this car being crash damaged and a one of one car, it was a perfect opportunity to make it even more special.

You want aerodynamic, you want time, you want this very fast.

So they went ahead and designed something that's never been done before.And now it's my job to try and make it fit to the car.

I reckon he needs a bigger truck, Liam.Yeah, I think he does.Come on, mate.

How's it going, bro?Good.Good to see you.Time to get to work.The Bugatti is here in the back garden of the house in Miami.Never did I think I'd ever say that, but it looks vibey as anything.

We're so, so close now.The body kit is over in that box over there.We still have no idea what it's going to look like.It's like a $700 ,000 body kit.No one's ever done it before.And this is going to be the perfect opportunity to do it on this type of car, being that we can't buy original body panels.

But there is a lot more to do on this Bugatti to start with.before we get to fitting the body kit.In the last video we really struggled to get that airbag light off the dashboard and I've noticed there is an engine light on the dashboard as well now so we want to check over get this car completely faultless and then we can start fitting all the body panels on the car.Let's get it inside the workshop and it's going to be the first ever car we rebuild at the Miami house.Let's get it in.So even though we got the Bugatti Chiron running in the last video, there is still some faults we need to get through.

And those faults are leaving lights on the dashboard.All of which I'd like to get off before we continue doing the cosmetic stuff on the car.

So we've got a fair few faults on the dash.

Airbag, engine and EPC.We'll scan those fault codes and we'll see what we've got.Hopefully solve them before we start doing any cosmetic mods.Now these are the lights that we're trying to get off the dashboard.The engine light, the EPC light and the airbag light.The engine light and the EPC are on due to random misfires.

but they're a passive fault and it's probably because the battery's got pretty low.So just clearing the codes should sort those two lights out, but the airbag light is a different story.The Kryptonite, the one we struggled on the second challenge to try and get off, we put all the airbags in, all the Audi A3, the Aston Martin airbags, all that are fitted in and we nearly got all the fault codes off apart from one, which is this one.battery interruption igniter resistance too low which we found out is this fuse on the battery which is supposed to cut power to the car when the car's in an accident now we replaced that fuse but we still got the fault code we've since done some research and we found exactly why that is still coming on and you won't believe the factfor it.Well, I hope it is the fix for it.

But to get to it, the battery is underneath this car so we've got to get it in the ramp and hopefully we can fix this.Right, let's get this airbag light off the dash.For now, let's clear the codes for the engine and hopefully we're going to have a clear dashboard before moving on to finally getting this car full body kitted out.It's going to look sick.So for the first time ever in the new unit up goes the Bugatti Chiron.And just a quick inspection after Alex has been driving it since I've been away.

Everything underneath the car still looks pretty good and dry with no damages.

Here is the battery and this is what's causing us the issue.This fuse right here.

But actually it's not quite the fuse that's the issue.This is a new fuse here, it's like 15 quid and it's off a Mercedes Vito van and all you do, we've got to be really careful here because we need this orange tab.and we need it not to break when it comes out.This orange tab here is a sort of locking tab which pushes down on top of the plug which clips onto the fuse.And right now I'm removing mine from the fuse which is on the car.And you can see on the fuse that I've just bought, the locking tab has two little prongs which sort of stop the connectors shorting out when you push down the orange tab.

But we need to get this out without breaking it and slot it into that one.It's intact and that's because you can see on R1 those two little prongs have broken off and apparently without those two prongs those two little electrical pins inside the fuse are able to touch each other.We've got to get that on there without breaking this and I remember it was really hard before.So now with our good bit of orange plastic I'm going to transfer it out of the one I've bought and into the electrical connector which is on the car andlock it all down.So there is a high chance we didn't actually need to replace that fuse.

But I guess now we're going to find out whether just that little piece of plastic has solved our airbag light.

Passive.

3, 2, 1.Good work.Ready.Engine.

Worked my guy.Check that out.Bolts.

It doesn't sound like there's a bit of fire in the road, does it?Sounds good.Finally, we've got a faultless Bugatti Chiron.For the first time since the accident.Very hot, very hot in here.Maybe, if we do manage to fix this, if Alex pays us, we can buy some better aircon.

Good fix, just that tiny bit of plastic.And me and Toby went all around Miami trying to find pyro fuses last time, and it was just that little bit of plastic.The more you know, if you've got a Mercedes Vito van, You remove your battery be careful with that orange bit of plastic now.It's time for the bit I've been waiting for for months Let's start fitting these body panels in order for us to start fitting these body panels I've got to start fitting the existing ones that didn't have any damage to them This was thelast part to come off the car.We needed to take this off to split the car in half and it went sort of.

It sits like that.The wrap has been removed and it has been wet sanded because we're almost ready for paint on the car.We're not using the wrap.It was wrapped underneath.It's this really nice blue.Alex just chose the colour for the car.

I think it's going to look really good, but it was a dumb idea to paint it first, especially when we're fitting the body kit.So it's kind of wet -sanded ready for paint, but we need to make sure the body kit actually fits.

Let's build this up.There's a carbon side skirt to go on the bottom of it.

Let's put that on and let's start fitting the Venom kit to this.And then we're going to get our first taste of what this kit is actually going to be like.Here we go.So the first thing to go on is this carbon fibre side skirt, which is of course standard on the Regattis you're on per sport.This just bolts to the bottom of the rear quarter.Liam's doing one side, whilst I've done the other side.

Then, once that's on, we can start lifting the rear quarter panel with the side skirt onto the car.And we're only going to hang it on with a few bolts for now, because the next thing we're going to need is part of the body kit.This box has been at Alex's house for a long time before we got here.He's been dying to open it.We've not even seen it.We have no idea what, like, we obviously have seen renders of what the kit's going to look like, but this could be terrible.

This could be terrible and we could have got scammed.It could be like the team will wear it, like, comes house flying.I'm genuinely, I don't know what to expect yet because We've seen the renders, I was like, there's no way all of that is in here.

I don't think it fits in here but we're about to find out.

Right, let's get the drill.Here we go.with the Venom wide body Bugatti Chiron kit.Each part we're unbolting is a lot more aggressive than the standard parts.Next up, the front end, and it looks insane.

Doesn't it look cool?That looks mental.

But before we continue unboxing the rest of the kit, the only part we need for now are these sections here.

Okay, here we go.

And this section is a rear arch extension.And right now, I'm a little sceptical.It looks like we're going to have to do some cutting.

Once we cut it, it's done with, innit?

Once we cut it, it's done with.

But if we cut it wrong, what happens?

Alex has got to buy a new quarter.The door there, it's got to be cut out in a massive box.

Because that, Ain't gonna sit flat.It's gonna have to go like this.

It looks like in order to fit this kit, we're gonna have to start cutting out this rear quarter.It's a pretty scary job.

That's the first thing that's gotta go on the car.

Because we can't fit, without that, we can't fit the side skirt.Without that, we can't fit the wing.Without that, we can't fit the front.Like, everything has gotta go in off that.

And the front's gonna be a nightmare in itself because the whole thing is Modified and at the minute.

I'm really hesitant to cut in to a perfectly good rake water.

It's got to be done Okay, rather sleep on it.

We've got a cool a perfectly good.We got you on quarter.I Apologize, this has got to be cool because we're putting in an extra vent in here.There is coolers in here.So it is actuallyan active vent.

I've just got to get this right because we can't get it right.There's no replacing anything.Everything's got to be cut.We've got to cut there.We've got to bolt it to it.Let's use this side as a tester but not mess it up and then we'll know exactly what we're going to do on the left hand side.

Here we go.We've done a lot of questionable things in the past but I think cutting a Bugatti Chiron open has now definitely got to be up there.

Oh my days.

In order for this kit to work, we've got to cut a hole in this rear quarter.That way this arch extension, which extends the arch by around 30mm, can sit flush on the rear quarter.And after cutting quite a fair bit out, eventually we've got somewhere.Look at that hole.Okay, right at the back of this, there are threads for screws.All the way through so assume that this does actually get screwed onto the side of the quarter panel We've just got to drill the holes through the quarter panel, but what's blocking it at the minute are these bolts here Which are holding this wing end plate on and so when we line this up There you can see there's a gap here all the way along the top and that's because those bolts which are holding that wing plate on are blocking blocking us right now, so The issue is, once we drill these holes, we've got to make sure it is bang on.

I'm going to take that off.There should be some holes straight through.Mark the holes up.We should be able to put some bolts through the other side, and then we can start fitting this light.final fitment obviously because I think it'd be really nice to smooth this into the panel.Okay so out come the bolts which hold this wing end plate on that way I can see directly through where the holes need to go.

I can then mark them up with a pen and once I'm happy with it I can start drilling the holes out and once I actually started drilling those holes out I realised the original quarter has a double skin around this area.So it's not going to be possible to bolt the end plate on through the original quarter.Right, all those holes, because there's an ECU that needs to be bolted to the other side, all we're doing is making clearance for the bolts on the back half of the arch.So these don't need to be holes.So we're just going to cut out a little section so it sits nice and flush.Here we go.

So all this section is there for is to make clearance for the bolts which hold the wing plate on to the arch extension.I'm not going to be able to bolt it through the quarter because as I mentioned there's some kind of module which bolts to the quarter on the inside and that is obstructing where the bolts would go through to hold the wing plate on if that makes sense.So essentially I've just made clearance now and now the arch extension can sit flush to the old rear quarter which is looking good.completely onto the car properly we've got to get it off now and then we can bolt it from the back drill the holes in it to put the bolts in from the back of it and whilst that's off we should be able to fit the side skirt as well and then lift it on and see what it looks like roughly on and that should be one side kind of complete to an extent.It's not too bad once you know what you're doing, but there is going to need to be some body work to just perfect it in.So everything, take with a pinch of salt, with an open mind, because at the minute we're still trying to do the same thing.

We're like, is this going to look good or not?I'm sort of committed because there's holes in it to know exactly where I need to drill the holes to hold the arch extension in I'm putting some masking tape there and then in these threaded holes in the arch extension I'm just twisting in some threads which I cut off the end of a few bolts because I had to shorten them and the sharpness on the end of these threads when I push the arch extension up to the masking tape should create some markings where I know I need to drill out the holes for the bolts to go in as you can see just here Now all of this does seem pretty crazy.But remember this was a perfect opportunity to create a Bugatti just like this as we can't get the standard panels.So I'm excited to see what it's going to look like at the end.I've got a feeling it's going to be kind of a cross between the Bugatti Belide and this sort of concept race Chiron car.For now we've got the rear quarter off so I can put the bolts on the inside of the quarter to hold on that arch extension.

Side skirt, how does this go on?What's the plan?

Right, we're going to take the side skirt off and bolt that new side skirt to the old side skirt and then bolt it all together.

Off we go.

So it looks like we've got to take off the carbon side skirt, which is standard to the Persport.Once we've got that lifted away from the rear quarter, we can start bolting the additional extended side skirt to the carbon fibre one.which means we've got to drill a few holes and because there's already rivnuts in place of the carbon side skirt, we can just put some bolts through and tighten it up to it.Now we've got to fit the outside of the side skirt extension to the carbon fibre, which means drilling out the carbon fibre.And by now I've just kind of got used to it.I'm marking out the holes.

drilling straight through the Bugatti carbon and once these holes are drilled out I can then thread some bolts through to hold on the side of the side skirt extension to the carbon fiber.It looks like I may need to add spaces on the bottom for it all to sit nice and flush but remember this is just the first fit up and of course once I've done one side we might as well do the other side as well.We did two, we did both of them and to be honest it looks pretty good it looks like Jet this is really good.I'm glad we put these on because we were thinking of maybe not putting them on right get this on there With those side skirts built up with the new venom kit on it We can now attach it back to the rear quarter and it's starting to come together now once that's on me and Liam are gonna hang it back onto the car and just apply a few bolts because all of this will have to come back off again to perfect all the fitment.Let's see what it looks like but that has made a huge difference to the look of the car.It makes the wheel look so small, doesn't it?

It's going to look mental.I want to put all the other panels on.

Yeah, that's your nose lift up.

This is like a show car.Driving this around Miami, when you're pulling into the petrol stations, and there's all that massive lit, this is just going to get out of hand.That looks insane All the last little finishing bits will make it so like obviously we're gonna put we'll put a grill In here, so it's not just an openspace, so we'll put a grill in there.That actually looks really good.

I love that colour.

Yeah, do we keep that colour?

It's very standout -y, isn't it?

Eyes are drawn to it.

We know how to do that side, let's get this side on.And then I really, really need to see this rear spoiler because I'm not convinced.Some of you might not be convinced either, but this is a one of one.This is literally history in the making.And if you followed the journey up to here, now's a great time to subscribe, because now we're about to blast this out.Let's go!

What's your favourite moment in history?

I will have to say my daughter.

What do you think?

Yeah, I agree.

time to do the other side now remember regardless of what we do to this car it's always going to be scarred by the car vertical report and all anyone will have to do is put the VIN number into car vertical and you can see the full history of the car you'll be able to see that it's got a salvage title and when it got it.I could also see the mileage history and every time it's been listed for sale or had a title change.On top of that I can see the full spec of the car and this really helps if one of you are going out to buy a car you don't know too much about.Another really handy thing is that if the car does show up as damaged sometimes it'll even show you photos of the car when it was auctioned off at the car crash auction site.That way you can pinpoint exactly where the damage was.

Even if you believe your car to be completely clean is horrible.

worth checking it out on CarVertical, just in case you've missed anything.And you can do that by clicking the link in the description box below, and then use my discount code Matt to save some money on the check.

That side's on.

There is a replacement rear spoiler to the Pure Sport, but we're gonna see whether this is now in the right place between one another before we go anywhere, because if this is too wide, because this was designed using a regular chiron so we don't know whether the arches are different I don't know or also make sure the height is different the height is the same because if we fitted that arch too low down and that arch too high up then it could just look like it's doing that so let's see what this is going to look like now when we lined the new wing up the good news is that it did line up to the bolt holes on the wing end plates and then we got a rough idea of where this wing was going to sit but to fit it was going to take some work so before we went any further we decided to fit standard wing plate at the bottom with the standard wing to see if it would line up with the body kit and unfortunately for us it didn't the new wing with the venom kit is wider and a slightly different shape So he thought the best bet now is to take the standard wing off its mounting bracket, then fit the new wing to the old mounting bracket.So off comes the old wing, and you can see the way that the wing fits in.It almost slides into place on these hooks each side.So it looks like we're going to have to make something on the new wing in order for it to fit the exact same way as OEM, which is going to take a bit of modification.Now the body kit did come with a new wing mounting bracket, but as this was based on the standard Chiron, the fixes were completely different to the Persport.So we're going to use the standard mounting bracket, as we know that's going to fit the best.

So we're going to fit that back onto the car and then lift on the Venom wing and we can get a rough ideaon how much modification we're going to need to make this work.

We think this is our option.

The wing, this is the wing that Venom have made but obviously it doesn't fit to this but it's going to be way easier to make this platform fit onto the wing.You can see that it's like it's just completely different fitment at the minute but I think we should be able to get a body guy to make recesses in that wing for that to fit on in the same way.So that should work.And at least we know they've bolted the end plate.It looks so much wider.We need to get the front end on before we even make a judgment on what this is going to look like.

It's going to look crazy.It's meant to look mental.

That's what the whole idea of it is about.

Let's put the engine cover on.And then finally, We're going to have to get to the front end and see if we can get the full picture of how this is going to look.

Some modification needed then, but that's what you've got to expect when you're fitting an aftermarket body kit.

Now we can slide on the engine cover and sort of get a rough idea how the rear of this car is going to look.Next up is the front end.And you can already see, combined with the bonnet, this is going to make a huge difference.Here it is sat next to the original front.

What do you think?

I think it's going to look insane.

We made the radiators and everything does all seem to be holding out here.Everything has been good.Alex has been driving it and it'sall held out pretty good ran to temperature no problem but now it's going to get the well it's going to come to the tricky part we needed a front end and that's where we contacted Venom and see if they could replicate the new front end but of course they wanted to go one extra and make it wider than the standard Chiron.And at this point, we might as well make it look different because if we try and make it look original, I just feel like it's never gonna look original.Like, no matter, a copy is never gonna be better than the original.

So we might as well make it better by making it wider.And that's exactly what Venom have done.

So, bring out the body kit!

Here's the moment, then, we've been waiting for for months.A completely hand -built front end for the Bugatti Chiron.there's little bits of shrouding we need to make there's a storage container on the front we need to make we need to put the jumper cables in the correct spot there's loads and loads of little things but now if we can make this body kit fit and fit right whilst we're getting it painted we can start doing all of the smaller jobs to get this car working as it should and hopefully get it to top speed this is going to go on first but as you've seen when we've taken the full front end offyou need to take this off to put the headlights in.So before we fit these, headlights need to go in.And that was a whole other issue.

When we were assessing the damages of the Chiron, we did notice that both of the headlights had damage to them.But both of them did still work.So we thought maybe there was a chance we could repair both of those headlights.But that proved a lot harder than we thought.Instead, I ended up looking for new ones.And some were listed for as much as $150 ,000.

And even Matti Rimac told us from Bugatti they're not even that expensive.It's actually $25 ,000 per headlight, so $50 ,000 for the full front system.But of course, we're unable to buy them from there.So where else do you go?We did find some listed on Alibaba, but are you really going to trust those?And after a while of trying to source them, someone reached out from a country in Europe.

Okay, we're on a very important mission.You know the mission is very important when this is your transport.We are on our way to a secret location.to meet a very secret person who can't be filmed and can't be named to pick up some Bugatti Chiron headlights for Alex's Bugatti.So we're going to get on the plane, get to our destination, try and film when we get there.Then get back, get them to Matt, get them to Alex, so they can finish the Sheeran build in America.

Let's go.

How has it ended up like this?A private jet to collect headlights.This is like something you see out of a movie.A special mission to collect some special hearts.

We've landed.We've got one hour to try and find this guy, get these headlights and get back on air.

It's going to be tight.Let's go.

All this way.Three hours on the plane.Grab these headlights.

Headlights secure.Literally.Now we've got to get them halfway across the world.And the best part about this, these headlights were 10 ,000 euros.Cheaper than anywhere we've seen them before.

In the UK, we've got the Bugatti headlights.So far, so good, so damaged.Let's get these to America.

And of course, they made it all the way to Miami.

Original Bugatti Chiron headlights.

I don't know how we've got them.I think it's one of them.Don't ask questions, Josh.I really hope these work.I'm going to plug them in because, really, these have got to be fitted to the body panels first, then you slide them on.But I just want to see whether they work first, because if it needs coding or anything, we've had it.

But so far, this car has been really good with that type of stuff.It runs and drives looking like that.Come on.A sort of safety net about this, is that we know Alex's headlights worked, even though they were damaged.So worst case, we'll have to strip the internals and replace them.them to our new headlights, which we've got.

But let's just hope now these work.Let's see if all the rest lights up.So the actual lights are working, which makes the car legal to drive on the road, but the side lights aren't.Now I know there is a module underneath the headlights, which is specifically used for powering the daytime running lights.My next step would be to get the module out of these headlights and replace them with the one that were in Alex's.But right now Alex's headlights aren't here, so that's going to be a job for later.

For now, I want to get these headlights fitted to the Venom front end.

So you have a mounting point on the bottom, one.

You've got a mounting point on the side, two.And then you have two on the top, so three, four.

So you have four mounting points.One of them goes through onto this bracket here.So a bolt goes through there, that's one.

Then the rest are all mounted to the wing.So when you go under here, So that's in place and we only have, if you go around the other side, we've got a mounting point for this right hand side here, so we're going to remove that out.You can see our mounting point there that we'll have to drill out and put a thread in.So that will go in there.But as for the top two, which you have brackets coming off the wings.Now we've got the original wings and the brackets on them, but I'm just wondering now, is there a reason why Venom didn't put them on?

Because if there is, then we're really going to struggle to do that ourselves.But what I want to try and do is have a look at the original wings and see if we can cut off the brackets for them.and fit them to this so then we can bolt the headlight properly into this kit.So I went to get the old front end and inspect these brackets which sit underneath the wing.You can see look the bit of carbon that's like stuck on.If we can get that off that would be amazing.

Out comes the Dremel and it's time to start trying to cut out this headlight bracket from the original wing.

Yes!

And there we go, a nice bit of solid carbon that we can use to mount the headlights with.I've just got to take it off the other side as well now.And there we have it, both brackets out.Now I'm just going to see whether these brackets actually fit in the Venom body kit.And it looks like they're gonna.So the next step is to bolt the brackets to the headlights.

And once they're bolted to them, I can slide them up into the wing to see where it'll fit.Oh yeah, that's worked great.I'm well happy with that.that has worked so good we just need really strong bond to bond that up to there now so we can mark up where that goes bond that to it exactly like how Bugatti would have done it and we'll have a headlight bolted to the new wing and quarters and all that type of stuff.I'm now using this two -piece panel bond to hopefully stick this mounting bracket to the top of the Venom kit.This is probably the same type of stuff that Bugatti would have used on the standard wing.

We're fittingthe headlight in place with the bracket attached so we know we get it in the exact right position.Once we're happy with it, we'll unbolt the headlight from the bracket and leave the glue to set.And whilst it's setting, Liam's drilling out some holes so we can insert a rivnut into the existing mounting point that Venom have already put there for us.And there's one thread inserted.We've just got to do the exact same on the left -hand side.

And once the glue's set, we can then lift the headlight into place, put all the bolts in, and see how it sits.And that looks pretty good.That is looking pretty damn good.And to be fair, don't think we've done too bad of a job.Both headlights are now sat inside the front end of the new Venom kit.Get in there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.That looks really good.That does look really good.The headlights have just brought it to life, haven't they?

Proper brought it to life.Do you want to rest it in, yeah?I want to rest it on.Go on then.Let's see what this looks like.

Time to fit the front end to the Bugatti Chiron.First thing we needed to do is remove the wheels.And then we realised we had to remove the headlights to slide it over it.And we also didn't want to damage them in the process.Now we're going to find out how this Venom kit all lines up to the Bugatti chassis.Which was a little bit worrying, being that Bob had to make a lot of the front end himself.

So he wasn't too sure whether everything was going to line up perfect.But so far, so good.It's going to look, it's going to look, there's no other baguette that's going to look like this.It's hanging at the minute.It's absolutely hanging.

But we're getting there.All them bolts in?Yeah.

Okay.I'm going to put the wheels on because I just want to see what it looks like on the ground.I actually want to put it at ride height because I'm...That splitter ain't...If he crashed it as it was, that splitter is getting crashed into the ground.Guys, get the wheels on and lower it down.

I'm excited to see what it looks like at ground height.

It looks so sick.

The transformation.was unreal.But right now, the car's in its lowest setting, which is pretty damn low.

Next up, the bonnet.

I'm sceptical of this because our hinges are crazy bent.Can't get new hinges, they don't come off any other car, so I think we're gonna have to get Bob to remake and re -bend the hinges.The latch as well, that's a bit bent and twisted, but I think that's just off a regular Volkswagen, so I think we can order that.Let's see where...Let's see where it sits and then we can see how far off we are.The panel gaps is going to be one of the hardest things to adjust, especially when we have severely bent bonnet hinges.

Guys, I've had a bit of a play round.This line is looking very, very nice.But what I would like is to get it in a little bit further.There's just two screws on the inside.And to adjust them, obviously, I've got to have it all off and all back on again.I'm pretty confident to say that we don't, I don't think we need to trim anything off the kit.

I'm really happy with it.On the other side, it is really hard.to adjust because you're not adjusting one panel, you're adjusting the whole front end.On this side, look, the gap is a bit bigger, but I want to get that gap on that side, the same size, same gap on this side.I would just say this just needs to go in a bit more, which I can do.The issue is our bent bonnet hinge here is hitting the panel at the minute, so that will need to be adjusted.

All this stuff takes a long time, but then the bonnet, I don't think we're going to be too far off.We're not too far.And that is with insanely bent hinges.

I think if we close that up a tiny bit there, we could get a nice gap in there.

And then the same, this side here, the hinge just needs to be bent in the right position.

Close this up a bit by lifting the front.

Just close it up to about there.And I'm really happy with that.

We've got a long way to go, but that is looking amazing.

I really don't think we're too far off and the car's come a hell of a long way since the day we first saw it.This is definitely going to be one of a kind Bugatti Chiron Persport.Now let's address these headlights.Let's hope when we switch these modules over this is going to work.To the bench.So we think the modules underneath the headlight are the reason why the daytime running lights aren't working.

So we're going to switch them both to see if that works.and we really hope that they do work.At the minute we do have legal lights but the daytime running lights is what makes the show on.So I'm going to switch these over.Hopefully they work.Let's see.

So just to be safe, we're going to switch both modules out.There's two on each headlight.We've now got Alex's old ones.There's three bolts to undo the module and then we can put the old one into the new headlights.And we're going to do the same on both sides.Both modules out and the old modules back in.

There's no reason now why these headlights shouldn't work unless there's some kind of internal fault with them.And that might be the reason we got these headlights a lot cheaper than any of the other Chiron ones.But let's see.

Headlights in.

Now for the big moment.

Come on, please.

Such a shame.We have, we actually have headlights, working headlights, but no DRLs.And the DRLs is what makes the car really, innit?Like that's the, the Chiron's got that signature look with his squares.I'm just going to see if there's anything on the dashboard I can press, but.That should have come on with the key.

I should have been able to press that on with the key, but it is road legal.It's road legal, but no DRLs.I think we're gonna have to change over all these modules.I just hope we don't have to split the headlight to do it.Whether we can get in through the back, I don't know.I then spent a fair amount of time scrolling through the dashboard to see if I could activate the DRLs.

Still nothing.To be honest, I was running out of ideas.Till.Yeah.

Oh, the rear quarter modules are not plugged in.

The rear quarter modules aren't plugged in.Over by there.I wonder if they do have to do with the lighting.These are the rear quarter modules that we removed when we was cutting up the quarters.They do control a lot of the lighting.That's going to do it.

Are you ready?Why these have anything to do with the side lights, I don't know, but it's worth a try.I do remember we had to put these in to get the brake light working.So let's see if these will get the DRLs working.

Two.This is gonna work.

Yes!They're on!Come on!

I need to see it.

Yes!That is looking sick.They now work.We didn't get scammed.Sometimes these newer cars don't make much sense But isn't it obvious you've got to have the rear quarter modules plugged in for the side lights or that is evil Right the next thing to like before we commit to fully fitting this kit painting it getting everything right on it It's gonna be the wheels.This is gonna be a tricky one.

We said we needed these tires to do top speed but That means we need to keep the width of the wheel, but can we get a more aggressive offset on the wheel to make it fit the arch?Now, these wheels inside this Venom kit that come with the kit,kit, we ordered and we weren't too sure about how they were going to look, but they are the same size as them.So they're still 21 inch.Apparently the offset is different, but I don't know.I'm still a little unsure about them.

These are the wheels.I think they look okay.I don't think they look bad, but I think they need to be more Crazy for this car.I think it needs a more standout wheel like putting black wheels on this car I think is criminal especially satin black.I think they need a color and I they look small They do look really small but to be honest I don't think we've got much of a choice.If we want this car to go top speed, we're going to need these tyres, which have a width at the back of 355mm.

And right now, the rear wheel is 21 inch, but no one makes a tyre for a 22 inch wheel, 355mm wide.So our only option is to have the standard fitment, but give it a more aggressive offset, which these wheels should have.changing the offset will move where you bolt it so positive offset where the wheel bolts to the hub is going to be further this way so more of the wheel is going to be inside the arch if you have negative offset you're going to be going this way into the wheel so more of the wheel is going to be on the outside if you had zero offset you're banging the middle so a lot of people move that round but you can still keep the same barrel of the wheel you're just moving around the offset and that will move the wheel depending on the fitment so we're hoping that the offset on this has gone a few more negatives to this way let's find out right now you can see the standard wheels sitting really far inside those extended archesBut they've got those tyres on.We need to do that top speed.So let's hope these Venom wheels sit pretty flush with the new arches.

Okay, so obviously bearing in mind, there's no tyres fitted to the wheels.

So there's obviously going to be tyre each side of it.And it's also got nose lift up and also the ramp isn't going to go all the way down.So what we're just looking for here is just to see rough fitment.

But I actually quite like the design.

I just feel like it needs to be bigger but I don't know whether it's an optical illusion now because I haven't got the tyres on them.Let's see.

The actual fitment, I don't know how much better you're going to get than that.

These wheels are actually sitting pretty flush with the arches now.But it's really hard to gauge what they're going to look like especially without tyres on and at this height.

I don't know if black wheels are going to be the right choice.

It's so hard to judge from that.You're going to have to let us know in the comment section.Obviously, it's so far away from being complete at the minute, so everything you have to squint at.But we've got headlights on, and we've got body panels on.

We're getting there.It's actually coming together.

The wheels, I don't know.But it's a nice worry to have, the fact that we're worrying about wheels at this stage, rather than worrying about how we're going to fix something.

Oh, this is a tough one.It is a real, real tough one, because the wheels will make or break it, I guess.
