      Shut your mouth bro honestly its pathetic and shows what type of mental health you have being bothered by someone's fucking car

    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.

    • @JlocadiaDJ

      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

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

  • @starski4578
    @starski4578 Рік тому +1

    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

  • @philipm.4040
    @philipm.4040 Рік тому +2

    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

  • @G15mpower

    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

  • @andychara1631

    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.

  • @brincazzelli1611
    @brincazzelli1611 Рік тому +4

    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!

    • @martynrollinson
      @martynrollinson Рік тому

      @brincazzelli1611 Рік тому

      ​@@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!

    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.
