The thorough work done to upgrade the Mercedes Benz included changing the door handles and side mirrors. Many people were wowed by it all.

After the car was done and repainted black, the owner demanded it is changed to white. Some people wondered why the man could not just buy the model he wanted.

In a conversation with a car owner on WhatsApp, Aanuoluwapo, he revealed that he would rather get a new vehicle than a new one. In his words:

"Car upgrades do not change the functions of the car. In most cases, only the exterior looked different. When you go inside such a vehicle, you see that they still maintain their old look and life. For me, I think it is better to just get a new model one wants."
