Ask any car lover in the Middle East what their dream ride is, and chances are they’ll say McLaren, and mean it. From Dubai to Riyadh, the supercar scene is booming. It’s not just about owning fast cars anymore; it’s about customizing them, making them yours, and turning heads while doing it.
Car modifications have exploded across the region. It’s all about high-end upgrades, especially with the aftermarket scene growing fast and full of unique builds, rare parts, and bold creativity.
One car enthusiast, Chris Slix, had his dreams crushed when he realized that even if he could afford the supercar, he would never be sold one, because he has no purchase history with the brand.
However, he soon discovered he could transform a base McLaren into a near-luxury version, spending just a fraction of the nearly £400,000 asking price, using affordable components from Temu.
“I had four criteria when I was hunting for pieces – harder, better, faster, stronger; five, if you count ‘cheaper’. The parts from Temu ticked every single box.”
His purchase was a made-to-order McLaren 650s – 675LT Full Dry-Carbon Conversion Kit, which formed the body of the car and gave it the look and feel of a dream car. It is this body and the unique tangerine paint that set the car apart from other McLarens and made it look truly premium and unique.
“The product arrived in a massive box and was completely worth the wait and the excitement. The piece itself was very well-made with no imperfections at all!”
Stories like his are resonating around the world. Consumers everywhere are turning to Temu not just for everyday essentials, but for high-performance parts and ambitious projects. Temu is now one of the most visited e-commerce sites globally and a top Apple-recommended app of 2024.
A recent IPSOS survey found that 80% of respondents globally believe Temu offers value for money, with shoppers reporting average savings of 24%. More than half said they would recommend the platform to others, underscoring its growing reputation as a go-to destination for smart, savvy shopping.
The final product, with the body, paint, and parts, was perfect, to the point that nobody would have been able to tell that this cost less than a quarter of the original car. Looks like you really don’t have to be a billionaire to shop like one; or for that matter, even drive like one.
