Has anyone explored the Chop Shop yet? I just reloaded the game and got $100k cash and 100k SCRAP. Then the game directed me to a new feature called the Chop Shop where you can apparently trade parts, materials, and BP that you don't want or need anymore.Let us know what your experience is so we can all learn together.

And also lower down the cost of BP's :/ Hmm, and what about a possibility to get a completely maxed out car in a crate or premium crate, so you don't have to do anything at all? I mean, is it that hard to stick a few materials into a new part?! From my point of view many things got easier with the last update, and still there are people wanting it more effortless. For months we've had useless half of the Black Market with overpriced useless parts, and no one really whined. Now there is another possibility to buy the last blueprint, if you are impatient enough, and it is that bad? Noone is forced to buy one, and I can imagine only a very small number of occasions where I would want to buy a blueprint from Kelly, but YMMV. And I love the parts part of the Chop shop... there never before was a way to get top parts for any given class consistently and without real money (or tons of gold in the game). It was so good they nerfed it just a few days after introduction of the feature, so now the source of scrap points is limited, but still you can eventually get what you want, and in many times easier than by any other means/ways.

Wow, just discovered you can get BP for ALL the regular cars (no SE cars). You can buy from 1 to 10 BP. I hope I can convert Trophy cash into Scrap cash. Wait...maybe the Tournament store has changed too! Just checking.......still looks the same except it has refreshed and will refresh again ~1:30hrs. I just got a chubby... 🙂

Well, thought it's a marvel, to scrap your items into parts and blueprints, but not all is that shiny... Scrap prices are bad, 50 items (including epic materials) got traded for 15k. And the price tags in the shop? Who would buy a green street part for 19k when there is blue one 23,5k? Same goes up the line as well. Classic sports: 27k for green, 30k for blue and 33,5k for violet? Guess anyone can get ready his 911 for the new LaFerrari event, as you can get 3 epic parts just for what you got today. Higher ranked parts get more costly, golden hyper parts are for four hundred thousands - it seems you have to scrap about six full garage contents to get one ;-)

Just bought a crate and received an excess BP and it was converted to SCRAP auto-magically. 🙂There is a downside: it seems that I didn't get BP's on maxed out cars so the odds were better on getting something you needed. Now, in 2 crates I received unneeded BP's.

Oh, that is a serious bummer for those that weren't quick enough to upgrade their Golf for the new Blackridge Spirit, as that basically means no more street parts at the end of every chapter :-)

I'll most likely spend my scrap money for 3 epic parts for 911 (classic sports), as the muscle parts for Dodge are more expensive (funny part is that upgrading from rare to epic is cheaper for muscle cars than for classic sports).

Chop shop? Can someone screengrab this as I don't have it?

You cannot miss that once you have it available. If you are playing on Android, it seems quitting the game and updating (if not done automatically) should be enough, and you will get 100k cash and 100k scrap money when you enter the game. Someone said no game update is available for iOS right now.

Well, the automatic scrapping of maxed out bps is a marvel to up the scrap money account. Before the update you just got a street part, and if you were lucky, you got a rare one selling for 5k, while green one sells for 3k. Same for Subaru BRZ and Viper.

Now you get different scrap money for different blueprints - 20 % of their value in the Chop Shop. While Skyline is less than 6k, Viper is more than 30k (enough to buy blue classic sport part) and McLaren (my last car with full blueprints) scraps for 40k.

Guess maxing out lower ranked cars gets much easier for me 🙂

I think it is now possible to replay as many boss races as possible to get the blue prints you do not need. They will be automatically scrapped and you can buy the desired blue prints from the chop shop. I got 5 Mercendes-AMG GT BP from gold crate and they were immediately scrapped for 150-ish thousand. It was then possible for me to get all remaining blueprints for Dodge challenger (7) with plenty of scrap to spare. Guess having a maxed out sport/super/hyper is important at this stage.

It would be nice if someone could do the math (e.g. 2 super BP = 1 hyper BP) and share the details.

If that is so, I already hate it! 👿

One of the reason I farmed all those blueprints of unwanted cars is so that they won't spoil my golden crates, so I'll get only legendary blueprints (Aventador, Pagani and Koenigsegg in my case) and parts to upgrade my super/hyper cars. And now again I can get three T86 blueprints for a fraction of a price of needed bps? Bah ☹️

After the "update" I got an M3 blueprint. Been maxed out for a while. What did I get for it? 3,500 chop shop credit.
Sucks. Hate it. Now I will get useless blueprints that aren't worth *. And I can't sell material for cash to buy from the black market now - it's all for stupid chop shop credit.
Think I'm just going to quit playing this game. Seems every time they turn around they do a little bit good but a lot bad. Farming for material you need? Want to do 2 races for a battery? Now you race a 905 Aventador on chapter 18 in a Hunter race. Good luck. You're screwed.
