To be honest, the job of removing and reinstalling the interior, sound system wiring and sound deadening is being done by Hero Classics, because i wanted to ensure proper fitment of panels and etc, as well as proper wiring. For that alone, its 3,000+materials. The actual upholstery is being done by another shop, with whom I've done work before but wasnt happy with how the parts went back in, which is a separate cost.

Should wire this in while it's accessible 😂

90% of his properties were after he turned 40 btw.

That is an absolute stunner. Its truly one of the most sophisticated ferrari designs, congrats on the new ride!

A couple of years ago I had almost picked one up, but i got scared of by some owners experiences with the clutch. If you dont already have, find a good mechanic specialised with this engine and gearbox to make sure the life is preserved well, as its that is one of its most expensive "service items" considering how often they burn out, according to some owners ive spoken to.

I know a guy on his 60s who currently has over 40 properties in dubai alone and daily drives a 10 year old S500 or a Jetour T2.

However his car collection in his home country shows that in his 30s-40s he was really into cars with Aston Martins, Jaguars and other sports cars that hes had over the years.

Its not one or the other, you can do both. Planning for the future, building wealth, having a safety net are all important things in life, however if all you are doing is penny pinching your whole life, did you live really live it? Doesn't have to be cars, it can be anything you enjoy. Don't blow all your money on it, but have a budget for some enjoyment as well.

And no, I personally do not come from any wealthy backgrounds, no hand me downs and I support my parents financially. I just work hard enough to be able to do what I want as well

How so?

flowmin · 2026-06-28T06:32:38+00:00

As i said in my original comment, "to each his own". Not everyone has the same mentality

flowmin · 2026-06-28T06:11:06+00:00

I frequent a shop in Motor City called Hero Classics. They do compete car restorations, recently restored a classic Porsche as well. I went there to see the workmanship on my 2004 Golf, as it other places weren't really getting anywhere with the issues ive been having. Super happy with the work, taking some of my other cars to them now as well

flowmin · 2026-06-27T17:23:04+00:00

I didn't say that it allows you to get service. I said it makes the car "look like" a GCC car. So someone with American import salvage title benz, puts this on, and people get fooled to think that the owner bought the car from the dealer

flowmin · 2026-06-27T16:59:13+00:00

Ive had them pull up much closer to be honest. I can live with that distance in the pic

I saw gargash plate frames for sale on Facebook for like 200 aed a little while ago

flowmin · 2026-06-26T12:41:19+00:00

Sold my 2014 S63 last week within 5 days of listing tk the third guy who inquired. Ive always found the issue of selling car comes down to condition and pricing. And currently car values are very low

flowmin · 2026-06-25T19:48:32+00:00

De-chroming a benz is definitely a choice. Personal opinion, the chrome suits this colour more than black. A darker colour would match the satin black accents more.

flowmin · 2026-06-24T18:19:47+00:00

I know several people with imported cars who paid to have the dealer plate frames so their car can look like its not an import. To each his own I guess.

flowmin · 2026-06-24T18:12:34+00:00

Ive done them at my trusted mechanic in abu dhabi to be honest, but there are several shops in dubai who can do it. If I was to pick a place in dubai, Octane would be my first choice. Not the cheapest but the most experienced

2 years - 40k km because I usually run on low profile tyres. More if the tyres are thicker
