Алибаба сайтаас худалдаж авсан 15,000 ам.долларын эд анги нь Ferrari F12 загварыг сэргээн засварлах оролдлогыг бүтэлгүйтэлд хүргэлээ.
YouTuber OG Schaefchen өөрийн Ferrari F12 автомашины урд бампер болон хөнгөн цагаан хуваагчийг цасанд мөргөж гэмтээснийхээ дараа Alibaba сайтаас 15,000 ам.долларын үнэтэй F12 TDF загварын их биеийн иж бүрдлийг захиалжээ. Хоёр сар хагасын дараа ирсэн уг эд ангиудыг суурилуулах явцад чанарын ноцтой асуудлууд илэрсэн байна. Нүүрстөрөгчийн шилэн материалаар хийсэн капот нь огт таарахгүй байсан бөгөөд их биеийн эд ангиуд нь стандарт загвараас 2 см өргөн байсан нь засварын ажлыг үргэлжлүүлэх боломжгүй болгожээ.
Уг иж бүрдлийг чанаргүй, ашиглах боломжгүй гэж дүгнэсэн эзэмшигч нь төслөө цуцалж, хямд эд анги худалдаж авах нь эцсийн дүндээ илүү их зардал гаргахад хүргэдэг гэдгийг онцолсон байна. Ferrari F12 нь 6.3 литрийн V12 хөдөлгүүртэй, 730 морины хүчтэй, 2.9 секундэд 0-100 км/ц хурдлах хүчин чадалтай бөгөөд дээд хурд нь 211 миль/цаг (ойролцоогоор 340 км/цаг) хүрдэг өндөр үзүүлэлттэй спорт загвар юм.

One man is working on quite the ambitious project – building a $1.7 million Ferrari F12 using $15,000 Alibaba parts.
But when you’re tackling something of this magnitude, there’s bound to be a few mistakes along the way.
That’s what happened here, when the creator quickly realized an error.
How badly would this affect the progress of his Ferrari F12?
Why he bought parts from Alibaba
Alibaba has built quite the reputation for its eclectic offerings.
From Range Rovers to Bugattis and mini excavators, there’s no shortage of bargains to be found on there.
For YouTuber OG Schaefchen, the website has proved to be a valuable ally in building up a Ferrari F12.
He had nothing but praises for the F12.
“No matter from which angle you look at it, it always looks absolutely stunning,” he declared.
“In my opinion, this might actually be one of the most beautiful cars ever to be made.”
The reason he had to turn to Alibaba was because he accidentally broke the front bumper and aluminum splitter while driving in the snow.
He opted to find a full F12 TDF replica body kit on Alibaba for $15,000.
Two and a half months later, the shipment finally arrived.
Inside the box was dozens of kit components, from a hood to bumpers and fenders.
The craftmanship was debatable, as was the material quality.
But he decided it was best to get on with the job at hand.
One mistake presented itself in this Ferrari F12 build
They stripped the original bumper, which was no small feat as it required disconnecting complex wiring, sensors, and brake-cooling ducts.
The new front bumper fit on after some manual adjustments, but the panel alignment remained less than ideal.
The severe misalignment issues were yet to come, and they came with a fury.
The carbon fiber hood didn’t fit at all, creating huge panel gaps.
And while the rear bumper fit relatively well, the team quickly realized that the kit itself was around 2cm wider than a standard F12.
To get the rear fenders to fit would require permanently cutting into the original body.
As a result, they decided to cancel the project.
They deemed the kit to be a scam, with its materials paper-thin and its hood basically unusable.
“I’m going to be 100% honest with you guys. We absolutely got scammed,” he lamented.
“I paid $15,000 for basically a bunch of plastic, a bunch of rubbish parts that unfortunately, not even with a lot of work, can probably be used to build a nice Ferrari.”
The whole experience left him with some pearls of wisdom to give to his subscribers.
“If you buy cheap, you buy twice,” he said.
Another expression that would apply here is ‘If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is’.
