This YouTuber took his rebuilt McLaren 675 with a full Temu body kit out for its first drive.
Chris Slix had spent a long time converting a McLaren 650S into a 675LT with the use of Temu body kit parts.
It’d been a long and laborious process.
But sitting in the car as it drove along made all the work worthwhile.

A lot of cool supercars have come into the world thanks to Temu.
One YouTuber used Temu parts to rebuild the ‘world’s cheapest McLaren’, while another built a whole car engine out of parts from the site.
YouTuber Chris Slix has made use of the site on his McLaren project.
Using body kit parts sourced from Temu, he has transformed a McLaren 650S into a $518,000 675LT.
When he first got his hands on it, the 650S was not in good shape – it’d been crashed four times, rolled on its roof, and used as a track experience car.
Fast forward a few months, and the new and improved McLaren was ready for its maiden voyage, so to speak.
Things seemed to be going well.
“For a car that’s not been on the road for so long, that’s had a bad life, that’s had so much done to it,” Chris said.
“There’s not one part that we’ve taken off this car that we’ve not changed, upgraded, or improved in some way.
“It’s still a long way from perfect, but it’s the best car we’ve done yet,” he explained.
However, a troubling noise threw a wrench in the works.
There was a leak problem, which later left a mess on the floor of their auto shop.
While driving to sort out the car’s alignment, it also broke down briefly during its first drive.
The ‘Low Oil Pressure’ kept flashing up.
“It’s always drama here, isn’t it?” Chris commented.
“How boring would it be if things went perfect all the time?” his cameraman joked.
“Sometimes I enjoy the stress,” Chris agreed.
“If you knew everything was going to go right all the time, life would be boring, wouldn’t it?”
By video’s end, though, Chris believed he’d figured out the car’s problem. He needed the TPMS [Tire-pressure monitoring system] module from McLaren, which he ordered.
On the whole, he concluded it was a successful first drive and it could have gone a ‘lot worse’.
