EXCLUSIVE: TikTok influencer smashes his rose-gold McLaren after bragging about his luxury lifestyle while promoting get-rich-quick schemes online as he lived with his mother
- Gurvin Dyal, 24, was involved in a crash in Chapel Street, in Manchester
- Pictures and video show the side of the supercar’s front crumpled
A TikTok influencer who bragged about his luxury lifestyle as he lived with his mother has today smashed his rose-gold wrapped McLaren.
Gurvin Dyal, 24, was driving his secondhand £90,000 supercar when it crashed into some bollards in Chapel Street, in Manchester.
Pictures and video show the bodywork above the front tyre crumpled and scratches along the driver’s door.
Mr Dyal can be standing behind the car with a seemingly glum look on his face while appearing to be in conversation with four other unknown men – two wearing hi-vis – who are standing beside him.
The front of a black Land Rover always appears to be touching the side Mr Dyal’s car, although it is not currently known if it was also involved in the crash.
Last November, the MailOnline revealed he was living until recently with his mother and younger brother in a tatty rented three bed terraced house with peeling paintwork on a busy road in Ilford, Essex.
And Land Registry records showed the house is owned by a woman living in Woodford Green, Essex, who bought it for £275,000 in 2007.

The Instagram influencer – who has more than one million followers – had bragged about his lavish lifestyle.
He once filmed himself driving his rose-gold wrapped supercar around London – and received almost 350,000 likes on TikTok.
My Dyal had often boasted on his website that his success in business had enabled him to move up with his family from living in a two bedroom council flat in east London to a five bedroom detached house in an upmarket area of Essex.
His Instagram account called Mr.Gurvz has a million followers and has most recently posted pictures of him posing with his second-hand McLaren supercar after paying to have it given a rose gold coloured wrap.
Mr Dyal came to fame in 2019 when a video of him handing out cash to strangers on Plymouth high street went viral.
But it appeared the video wasn’t all what it seemed and it was once alleged that he was in fact part of a scam in which investors lost nearly £4 million.
A BBC Three documentary called Scam City: Money, Mayhem and Maseratis claimed he assured investors that he was an authorised trader, promising guaranteed profits of up to £300 a day.

Mr Dyal often boasts about his lavish lifestyle and has since launched a new get-rich-quick-scheme. He tries to entice people onto his e-commerce courses by posting pictures of himself with luxury cars
The documentary spoke to one victim called Jonathan, 24, who worked as a systems accountant and invested £17,000 he’d saved up to buy his first home, only to be left with just £48.
Mr Dyal who claimed he turned £200 into £100,000 while at university, offered trading services via his company GS3 Trades which was not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and did not even have a licence to trade.
It later transpired that investments were being looked after by another firm registered in The Bahamas and not subject to UK regulation.
He has since launched a new get-rich-quick-scheme where he tries to entice people to invest – in what he calls e-commerce courses – by posting pictures of himself with supercars and enjoying a jet-setting lifestyle, staying in luxury hotels and holiday lets.
Mr Dyal declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
