When a Car Wrap Turns Into a Viral Fiasco
Picture this: you spend a cool $1,630 on a “slick” new car wrap, only to walk out of the shop looking like a broken‑up poster. That’s the nightmare Tale Zhaoyan found himself in after taking his ride to Project‑25 Groomwrkz in Ang Mo Kio.
Social Media’s Attendance Call
Frustrated, Zhaoyan hit up Facebook, daring the workshop to back up. He wasn’t alone – automotive vlogger Tsuri, a vinyl wizard from Vos Automotive Styling, jumped on the bandwagon. His TikTok videos? They’ve racked up over 3 million views in a week.

“The client (Zhaoyan) decided to send his car to us to fix whatever the f‑ck this was,” Tsuri answered, as his followers leaned in for the reveal.
What Went Wrong?
- Air pockets and creases that practically scream “pre‑job DIY”
- Rubber seals on the doors and windows – cut like a popsicle on a hot day
- Dust clinging to every edge, turning the car into a dusty billboard
- Rows of cuts and scratches that look like the car just survived a high‑speed dirt‑brawl
The Comment Section—A Tale of Tension
As each new scratch was unspooled in the comments, netizens’ reactions went from “uh‑oh” to “oh‑no.” Imagine feeling totally seen (and slightly embarrassed) as your car’s new “look” enjoyed its grand entrance into the internet.
Feel the Flip‑Side of Trust
Expectation vs. Reality: Zhaoyan’s story is a vivid reminder that a glossy wrap and a hefty price tag don’t guarantee perfection. Workshop go‑to-places get all the red flags, and the comments? Particular it’s a good laugh for many.
So next time you consider giving your vehicle a fresh coat, double‑check before burning cash: either it’s the right pro or it’s the wrong reason to create a Whats‑App group chat about “mi‑rep.”
What Went Wrong with Project‑25 Groomwrkz
When Zhaoyan learned that Project‑25 Groomwrkz was offering to fix the problem, he decided it was a no‑go. “I’m not taking their deal,” he told us.
Why the Deal Fell Through
- He was once bitten, twice shy – the workshop had already let him down before.
- His trust in their quality of workmanship was gone.
- He’s now detective‑ing for a service he can really rely on.
Key Takeaway
When a service leaves you disappointed, it’s pretty hard to give them another shot. Zhaoyan’s story is a clear reminder to double‑check your choices before closing the deal.
Car Wrap Chaos: Zhaoyan’s Epic Road Trip to Quality
Zhaoyan’s frustration didn’t stop at a sub‑par vehicle wrap. He also slammed the workshop for pushing back his pick‑up time—five times in a row, piling up to over 35 frantic hours. The delays threw a wrench into his daily commute, turning what should have been a smooth ride into a series of “Where the heck am I now?” moments.
AsiaOne reached out to Project‑25 Groomwrkz for a clearer picture of what went wrong. Yet the story has a silver lining: Zhaoyan’s rescue from the chaos with Vos Automotive Styling.
From “Far Cry” to “Wow!”
“I just grabbed my car from them and I’m SO impressed,” Zhaoyan shared, his voice brightening. “They were meticulous, took pride in every detail, and the final product? Forget the last wrap—this was a masterpiece.”
The contrast is huge. While Project‑25’s workshop left him feeling like he’d paid for a bargain gone wrong, Vos Automotive Styling delivered craftsmanship that made Zhaoyan feel like he’d upgraded to a luxury ride.
Lesson for Fellow Car Owners
He urged others to remember: “If you’re looking for cheap, amateurish work, think again.” He hopes his rough ride serves as a cautionary tale, pushing the community toward quality over cost.
- A trip full of delays can seep into your daily life.
- Inadequate service can ruin the entire car experience.
- Choosing a reputable shop can restore confidence—and give you a car that looks like it’s brand new.
Don’t let a wrap mishap turn your day into a circus—opt for quality, and you’ll laugh all the way to the finish line.
