The AMG Heist.
We built a widebody Mercedes-AMG GT, wrapped it in TeckWrap True Blood, and then did something most bodyshops wouldn't: made our own short film around it, themed on Money Heist. Here's the car, and the film the whole team made.
"AMG Heist", a 17-minute short film, filmed and edited in-house by the team at MSL Customs.
A show car, start to finish.
The AMG started as a donor and left as a statement: widebody, slammed, and finished to a standard you'd expect on a stand at a show, not in a claims workshop. It's the same care and craft that goes into an everyday insurance repair, turned up to eleven.
- Widebody conversionFull widebody kit fabricated and fitted, arches flared to swallow the wheels and give it real presence.
- TeckWrap True BloodWrapped, not painted. A deep gloss red vinyl laid on in-house — TeckWrap UK is our sister company, so the material and the fitting come from the same roof.
- Forged wheels, on the floorBronze forged wheels wrapped in our own branded tyres, sitting slammed over the arches.
- Carbon & aeroCarbon splitter, canards and a GT wing, with the details finished to match.
From standard car to show car.
The whole conversion, stage by stage. The middle of a build is rarely photographed and it's the part that actually shows the work.
-
How it arrived
A standard AMG GT. Quick, and good looking already, but the brief was for something nobody would mistake for a factory car.
-
The kit, on the floor
Every widebody panel laid out and offered up before a single one goes on. This is where a conversion is won or lost: check the fit now, not after paint.
-
First panels on
Dry-fitting begins. Panels are trimmed and packed until the gaps are even and the lines carry through from wing to door.
-
Front end off
Bumper and lights out so the arches can be mounted to the body properly rather than sat on top of it.
-
Down to the shell
Doors off, engine bay open. Stripping this far is the only way to get paint into every edge and shut line, so nothing shows its old colour later.
-
Standing on its own
Widebody complete and rolling on the forged wheels. First time the stance can actually be judged with weight on it.
-
Wrapped, not painted
The red is TeckWrap True Blood vinyl rather than paint, laid on panel by panel. Wrapping a widebody is the harder job of the two: every flare and vent has to be worked by hand, with no shortcuts round an edge.
-
Aero and finishing
GT wing, diffuser and carbon detail fitted, then the whole car flatted and polished before it saw daylight.
-
Out in London
Finished, and out where it belongs. Knightsbridge at Christmas, which is about the only backdrop that doesn't get upstaged by it.
-
On the stand
On display, in full Money Heist livery. The theme ran through the build, the film we shot around it, and the stand.
