One of the better videos you've uploaded. It is way better seeing people do work to their own car, rather than just sending it to a garage, recording some cinematics with cheesy background music, then closing off the video
Want the R to look even more Monster? Why not get the Genuine Carbon Fibre Eyelids from Slim Tech Carbon here in Sweden? Had mine for several years on the GTI Clubsport without a scratch! Top quality and look so aggressive!!
Mod 1…. Man sticks sticker on car….. hmmm Mod 2…. Man paints oversized wooden splitter/ ankle remover …hmmm Mod 3…. Man fits stud/ nut kit and wheel spacers😮 Mod 4 …. Man fits extended gear knob.🤷 Mod 5 … man fits “makes sense” mirror covers Man is very very pleased with his handiwork and commits to more DIY magic with his mates in future videos. Mighty car mods…. I don’t think you need to worry🙄
To be absolutely fair, everyone has to start somewhere, and for someone who isn’t too mechanically minded, small, easy jobs can feel like an achievement, more power to him, my advice would be take a day off from leaving negative comments on a youtube video, which by the way just makes it look like a desperate, pathetic attempt at making yourself feel better about yourself, and instead make some self-progress on becoming a better and more rounded human being.
Hey@@silverwheeltheworld ...looks like you are not living up to your own "standards" with that negative reply. Personally, I thought comment to which you responded was quite funny and not at all negative. Each to their own though
You don’t even need to remove the mirrors just tilt it right down so you can see the clips and get a thin flat headed screwdriver or a normal kitchen knife and push the clips down carefully while holding the mirror case 😀
Car is looking wicked all the mods have made a difference sometimes the smallest mods can make such a difference especially when you know it’s your car and you have done them. Very satisfying Great episode thank you
If it’s a track build, I’m not sure why you’re fussing about what people think… A splitter is supposed to be functional. Have you done any calculations as far as balance between the front splitter and rear spoiler…well that remains to be seen… I must admit, I’m not a fan of how the rear the arch kit fits, it looks like it’s from another car… but if it functions…👍🏻 Track=function before form
The next mod needs to be finishing the rear extended wheel arches. They just stop at the bumper, need to make them flush which will also help with spray from the tyres
There's a lot of people in the comments section who clearly do NOT understand the science behind the splitter. You will lose a lot of downforce if you cut it down! Its a track spec car not your daily mcdonalds delivery car. The car looks perfect!
@@martynrollinsonYour comment confirms the level of stupidity I was referring to. It's like saying "an Airplane looks stupid with wings" There's a reason why you fit a splitter to a track car and not a standard car but you understand the science. Go watch TimeAttack and call them stupid lol
Its the small things that make the biggest difference for me. Those few little touches 👌 I'm still on the fence with the splitter but it definitely looks better now it's been painted. And it's great to see you get stuck in and do abit yourself 👏
Looks way much better after replacing the carbon side mirror cap and the Matt black finish on your splitter. I think if you would trim off the splitter specially both side it would look even much better. My opinion only. Keep it up mate. Job well done! Cheers!
Hi there Luke, your car looks so much better now . Painting the front splitter satin black helps and adding the mirror covers has transformed it. Great video 👍.
Looks much better Luke. Splitter is more bearable haha. It’s still massive but it’s your car and your choice ultimately. I wouldn’t worry what others think. The look especially is a personal thing. Mirrors look great.
Personally I would remove all the chrome vw emblems , the R badges , change them to carbon also and get rid of the clear indicators on your wing mirrors . All really simple diy mods and relatively cheap, keep up the great content though!
Thank god you painted that splitter.. so much better.. would look even better if you took it off 😊
Shut your mouth bro honestly its pathetic and shows what type of mental health you have being bothered by someone's fucking car
Weirdo
Make it shorter would be good enough. It's not like he uses the full length of it😅
One of the better videos you've uploaded. It is way better seeing people do work to their own car, rather than just sending it to a garage, recording some cinematics with cheesy background music, then closing off the video
😂 At least if it snows this year you’ll be good with that snow plough!!

The plaque is on the door not the dash on a club Sport😅
Thats how u know its a good evening on the car when your still fitting stuff to it with your mate in the pitch black 🤙😂
Looks cool,I'd trim the splitter slightly and put some winglets on the end 👍
Still can’t get my head around the splitter. It’s just too big
You need to rethink your mental health if that annoys you. Weirdo
Mod 1…. Man sticks sticker on car….. hmmm

The upgrades looks good.
Looks a lot better black and gaps fine under number plate but needs cutting into shape on the sides maybe same as bumper shape

THAT FRONT LIP COULD BE USED AS A SURFBOARD TO GREAT MULTI USE
The next mod needs to be finishing the rear extended wheel arches. They just stop at the bumper, need to make them flush which will also help with spray from the tyres
Still looks like a picnic or dinning room table needs cutting down
U make the smallest things look so hard 😅😅😅
Big improvement will be perfect when a carpenter trims the front shelf down
Take the splitter off... and get bumper canards
It's still a bit off wood on ya bumper 😂
U know how much wood they use for splitters in pro time attack events? Or do u think they all have carbon splitters?
Isn’t etch primer for metal ? I could be wrong
A splitter Fred flint stone would be happy with, rediculous 😅
.... Still stupid that splitter.
love all of them lad
Cant take that car seriously with ikea shelf stuck on the front 🤣
Fixed the issue you had at the Nurburgring?
Subtle little mods make loads of difference. The splitter does look better now it's painted. Are you going to reinstate the aircon?
i would defiantly cut down the lip to the same shape as the bumper. it would still look very aggressive but more original. great vid again.

It's possible to understand the science and still think it's stupid...

Car looks great! If I may ask where did you get your custom steering wheel?
Fair play the platypus looks better black just get it trimmed down now
One of the nicest golfs ive seen, carry on, it can only get better from here !
big improvement in look, +1 vote for still cutting it down to match the shape of the bumper
Its the small things that make the biggest difference for me. Those few little touches 👌 I'm still on the fence with the splitter but it definitely looks better now it's been painted. And it's great to see you get stuck in and do abit yourself 👏
Weenis
Needs to be cut the the shape of the bumper if you know what am saying
What are your plans to solve the heat problem on track?
Looks much better, what about a carbon fibre or satin black wrap on the splitter?
Or ring around a couple of composite companies and see how much a flat sheet of carbon would be, then you can cut it to size
The car looks awesome and great to see & hear you working on it fella. Car now has an old R32 vibe with those wheels on btw!
dont cut it just leave it
Looks way much better after replacing the carbon side mirror cap and the Matt black finish on your splitter. I think if you would trim off the splitter specially both side it would look even much better. My opinion only. Keep it up mate. Job well done! Cheers!
Finishing touches 👌🏻
Hi there Luke, your car looks so much better now . Painting the front splitter satin black helps and adding the mirror covers has transformed it. Great video 👍.
Looks great!
Yes please cut it down. Looks nice overall!
Great video and the car is looking awesome 😁😁😎👍
Well done !
Mate car is looking mega now Good job .:)
The splitter should be black with a blue stripe on the edge of it looks sick😉😏
Looks much better Luke. Splitter is more bearable haha. It’s still massive but it’s your car and your choice ultimately. I wouldn’t worry what others think. The look especially is a personal thing. Mirrors look great.
Nice work
would like to see it on track
Now looks 🔥🔥🔥
Massive difference, it's the small things that make all the difference 👍🍻
Enjoyable video 👊
Carbon mirrors look mega 👌🏻
Please remove that splitter and lots of other stuf.
The car looks awefull
I already liked the splitter dude but it looks so much better now 👍
Now thats nice🎉
It looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better
If it was my car, I'd trim the lip.
But then that's a track spec car. It might affect the downforce.
Horrendous front splitter sorry but you need to get something fabricated which is proper
Would be careful keeping that huge lip spoiler on as it might make the car not road legal.
the splitter defentaly looks better nice job on the wing mirrors
A lot better mate, 🇦🇺🥇👍
Personally I would remove all the chrome vw emblems , the R badges , change them to carbon also and get rid of the clear indicators on your wing mirrors . All really simple diy mods and relatively cheap, keep up the great content though!
Looks good black even un trimmed reminds me of hill climb car
How to ruin a golf R and spend thousands doing it 👍🏼
Looks so much better not so much of a snow plough
Is it bad i only watched to read the comments?
You don’t really need skill to be a mechanic. You just follow instructions
And the right tools
Internet keyboard mechanic lol
Uhhhh what? Probably the stupidest comment you could make about any job… I’m sure your job requires 0 skill, working at a supermarket and all 😂
Clearly someone who's done nothing more than an oil change and thinks thats all there is to it 😂
@@resu924 literally bro, i hate being a mechanic sometimes,
Please, that rear spoiler… 😖
Splitter looks better. Maybe wrap it in carbon to match the bonnet and mirrors.
Car looks mint 👌🏽
Better 👍
You say no skills or tools but everyone was there at some point! Start doing some smaller DIY works or get involved with the mechanics in videos!
ngl night n day difference. looks more complete now
Still looks terrible tbh, the splitter that is, rest of the car is 😎
The bearded golf r. But yes, it does look better
Awesum car, shame about the splitter... chop it down, or fuck it off! 👍🏼😂😂😂
Dechrome the grill next
