In 2024, one of our clients approached WRAPvehicles with a vision: transform their Tesla Model S into a truly unique, head-turning vehicle. While the car already featured a Maxton Design kit with side skirt extensions and a front splitter, our client wanted something far more extreme – a full transformation that would elevate the styling of the Model S beyond anything else on the road.
Project Brief
The client had spotted a bespoke Tesla bodykit online that completely replaced the standard bumpers and side skirts with more aggressive, sporty designs. The front bumper featured large, aggressive air intakes, giving the car a powerful stance and a bold, performance-inspired aesthetic. The package was custom-made and required several weeks to arrive at our Manchester installation centre.
Installation & Modification Process
Installing such an extensive bodykit presented multiple challenges, which our experienced installation team tackled with precision:
Fibreglass panels required trimming and minor adjustments to ensure a perfect fit across all surfaces.
Front and rear sensors, fans, and parking sensors were repositioned to work seamlessly with the new bumpers.
Custom priming and surface preparation ensured that the car’s bodywork was flawless before wrapping.
Every modification was handled with care, ensuring a factory-quality finish while maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle.
Full Vehicle Wrap
Once the bodykit was perfectly fitted, we applied a 3M satin black wrap across the entire car. This added not only a striking new look but also the protective benefits of high-quality automotive vinyl, ensuring the vehicle remains scratch-resistant and easy to maintain.
Wheel Upgrades
To complement the stealthy satin black wrap, the client’s wheels were powder coated from bronze to satin black, creating a cohesive, aggressive stance and completing the stealthy aesthetic of the car.
Interior Enhancements
Not stopping at the exterior, our team also upgraded the interior. We installed a Yoke steering wheel, mirroring the futuristic style of Tesla’s Plaid models. This small but impactful change brought the interior design into alignment with the bold, cutting-edge exterior modifications.
Outcome
The result is a one-of-one Tesla Model S that dramatically transforms the original vehicle. From its aggressive bodykit to the sleek satin black wrap, stealthy wheels, and futuristic interior, the car now stands out as a truly unique creation in the UK. The project posed numerous challenges and required careful planning and skilled craftsmanship, but the final outcome was worth every effort.
