Thanks again! Something had to be done with the front, it looked too much like an Audi or something otherwise. Was pretty pleased when I realised jumpers would work
Bro! Your channel is AMAZING! In my opinion you are one of the coolest and most unique lego TH-cam channels out there. I’m putting you on my top 3 list with TD Bricks, and Tiago Catarino. Thank you for being an amazing part of my lego life.
Wow what a wonderful comment. Thanks so much. I’ve had a little break from Lego over the summer but this comment just ignited my inspiration and I’m filming a new video now!
Hey Sven! I'm glad I found your channel, greetings from Hungary :) I've been following your videos from the Countach build and I really like these Speed Champions mods / conversions. Mostly I build scale models but I was a big Lego fan years ago, and the Speed Champions lineup combines these two really nicely: accurate replicas built with creative ways from Lego bricks. I've been purchasing a few SC models that I like, for example the Audi and the Countach. I found these 5 stud wide Speed Champions polybag models for really cheap so I picked up the McLaren Elva and the Aston too. Your conversion videos inspired me to get the 4 stud wide Lamborghini Huracan polybag model (from 2020) and try to convert it to 5 studs wide using the parts of the Aston and a few black parts that I picked up at the store. I think it turned out pretty cool, from something that looks almost any car but a Lamborghini it's definetely better. Can I send you some photos of it? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts about it. I might pick up a few special parts to make it even better. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to more videos from you :)
10:00 you get a black windscreen with the Lotus Evija but it has a yellow stripe that goes around the bottom. Edit: Ah just watched the rest of the video. You already knew that.
I am really tempted to do something like this myself but I am not sure if I want to touch my collection esp since I don't have extra stickers available if I want to change locations or similar.
For this particular model I didn’t need to change the stickers, but I hear you. There are companies out there that reproduce old sticker sheets. A heck of a lot cheaper than official ones from Bricklink in some cases. I’ve used www.brickstickershop.com for example
I love how you took one of the best old cars, and made it better! Absolutely incredible, and I might come back to this vid because I'm planning on making a custom bugatti chiron. any tips would be helpful
Hi and thanks for the comment. No plans as such yet but if demand is high enough I’ll definitely consider it. The hope was that the video could be followed along to, but might be tricky?
@@svensbricks Thanks so much for the reply. I don't know that I would be able to follow along with the video, but I'm probably in the minority. I'm a set collector. The few mods/mocs that I have done have all had instructions with parts lists, and I only buy the parts that I need. I don't use parts from my other sets. That may change in the future, but thus far, that has been my approach. Keep up the great work!
Instructions and part list for this model is now available on Rebrickable! rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-134358/Svenalfred/bugatti-chiron-8-stud-wide/
This is one of the most underrated channels ever. Amazing content!!
Your very kind words mean a lot, thank you so much!
Cool and neat. I would like to see you convert all of the 6 studs wide speed champion cars into 8 studs wide
Many thanks for watching and dropping a comment! I’ve got more lined up so stay tuned 😃
This is an amazing transformation
I wouldn’t have thought of the v shape for the front which was a splendid idea
Thanks again! Something had to be done with the front, it looked too much like an Audi or something otherwise. Was pretty pleased when I realised jumpers would work
would love a 6 to 8 conversion on the chevy corvette and la Ferrari
Thanks for the comment! The ‘69 Chevy is actually up next!
I like the progression of each 8 stud wide vehicles such great videos
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment!
Do the senna
It’s coming soon actually!

Would certainly love to see a 8 stud conversion of the McLaren Senna 75892, was my first foray into speed champions and the build was excellent
Hey and thanks for the comment! I have it lined up, won’t be more than 2-3 weeks I hope!
This is very original, why this channel doesn't have 1 million subscribers
thank you kindly! I'll keep filming if people keep watching :)
Love this one
Thank you kindly!

Hi Balazs and thanks for your comment! I’ve sent you a DM on Instagram 🙂
This is probably the best 8-wide conversion you’ve done, nice work!
Thank you very much! I think this one and the 7 stud Porsche are the ones I’m most happy with
Love the way you create sch great conversions , been a subscriber for the past 4 months. Great vids!
Gee, thanks a lot for leaving such a nice and encouraging comment!
I’d suggest waiting for the new pagani utopia set to come out, the windscreen from the set should match the chirons shape better
Yes! The shape looks much closer, right? Just need it in black though, unless I rebuild the whole car in grey… 🤔
That windscreen piece doesnt look half bad! Great conversion.
Thanks! Yeah I think I just about got away with it 😂
These look great and could you try the McLaren senna from 6 to 8 stud
It’s coming soon!
10:00 you get a black windscreen with the Lotus Evija but it has a yellow stripe that goes around the bottom. Edit: Ah just watched the rest of the video. You already knew that.
Yes, I would’ve tried it if I owned the Lotus but that yellow stripe was enough to put me off the whole set 😂

Great work Sven!
Why thank you sir, very kind. 😃
I WOKE UP IN THE NEW BUGATTI!!!
I love how you took one of the best old cars, and made it better! Absolutely incredible, and I might come back to this vid because I'm planning on making a custom bugatti chiron. any tips would be helpful
Wow, thanks!
This actually makes me wish I got this set, it’s just looks so wrong in its 6 stud scale
Keep your eye out on the second hand market. I picked this one up for under 20€
pretty cool
Thanks for taking the time to drop by and leave a comment 😃
I’d like to see the opposite, convert 8 wide to 6 wide
Haha, I have thought of that. I imagine it’d be more difficult. Thanks for the comment, I might give it a go at some point 😀
Do you have any plans to provide instructions and a parts list in a pdf?

@@jawbreaker1916 I’ve never tried making my own instructions before but I might give it a go. I’ll let you know if it happens 😀
