Custom leather and PPF on a Jaguar I-Pace
A full front-end of XPEL paint protection film, and an interior retrimmed in-house. Vlog #5.
Gallery
Our own photographs first: hides marked out on the bench, seats retrimmed, paint corrected. Then the same finishes rendered live, so you can turn one car through every service we sell.
Photographs
22 frames shot by and for the workshop. Filter by marque, or open any of them full-size. The arrow keys walk the set.
Rendered live
A photograph can only show the finish the car actually got. This one turns, and changes, so you can put six services on the same car and compare them. The interior room is shot from inside the cabin, because that is where the work is. Drag it.
Preparing the studio
01 / 06
Up to six stages of paint correction, then a coating that holds the gloss for years. This is what a corrected, coated panel actually reflects.
On film
Filmed in our own bays, on cars our own team worked on. Filter by marque, and press play. Nothing loads from YouTube until you do.

Eight Taycans prepared for a single launch: the kind of job the showrooms bring to us before the doors open. Vlog #4.
A STARTECH-bodied Range Rover Sport alongside an X6 in matte silver. Two very different routes to the same idea. Vlog #3.
Not the first in Mauritius. The first anywhere. Akrapovič sports exhaust, fitted here.
Multi-stage correction, then a coating to hold it. The Signature Detail, start to finish.
The first Raptor wrapped in Mauritius, panel by panel.
The island's first Taycan, through our bays before anyone else saw it. Vlog #1.
From crate to fitted, in one sitting.
A printed geometric camouflage, cut and laid by hand.
Decontamination, correction and a quartz coating on a daily-driven car.
Our cars at PURE, the Mauritius Unwavering showcase at LUX* Grand Gaube. Vlog #2.
The aftermovie from the island's second Cars & Coffee.
Where the island's collectors park up, once a year.
Inspiration
A finish is a moving thing: gloss travels across a panel, satin refuses to, and no photograph shows either. So here are fourteen films of the marques we work on. None of them is ours, and none of these cars came through our doors. Use them the way our clients do: find a stance, a finish or a set of wheels you want, send it to us, and we will tell you what it takes to put it on your car.
Rain is the honest test. Water that beads and leaves is a coating still working; water that sheets and sits is one that has stopped.
Film by Hayman Media
Low, wide and mostly carbon: a shape where a bad film edge shows from ten metres away.
Film by Ricky Blackwell
A Formula One engine with a number plate. One of 275, and every one of them wrapped before delivery.
Film by F1RST MOTORS
Colour this saturated is what a correction is for. The gloss is doing half the work.
Film by C&C PremiumCars
An open gate, a metal gearlever and thirty-year-old leather. All three are restoration jobs.
Film by ISSIMI Official
Exposed weave over the whole body. Nothing about this car can be resprayed, which is the argument for film.
Film by F1RST MOTORS
A printed wrap that comes off without touching the paint underneath. That is the whole point of it.
Film by Neomotive
Satin over gloss, and a set of rims refinished to match rather than replaced.
Film by Owen Garceau Films
An aftermarket carbon kit, fitted properly. The panel gaps are the tell.
Film by Erick Bahena
The same car that turns on the stage above this page, in the colour most people ask for it in.
Film by C&C PremiumCars
Air suspension, and the wheel arches to match. Lowered cars eat front bumpers, which is where film starts.
Film by Gravity Show
Stone chips at the leading edge, every kilometre of it. This is the drive film is bought for.
Film by Hayman Media
Matte green over aero that was designed in a wind tunnel, not a styling studio.
Film by Neomotive
Forged composite, which cannot be polished. It can be protected.
Film by Fastrmedia
None of these cars is ours and none of these films is ours. Curated from a shared playlist. Every film plays from its maker's own channel and belongs to them.
Completed projects
Written up as they left: what came in, what we did to it, and what it took.
Bring it to 14 Brabant Street. We photograph most of what leaves the workshop, with the owner's permission.
