    Chris, I take my hat off to you mate, you've made a hell of a job on your Golf R. It looks absolutely magnificent. I cringed when I saw you taking out the dashboard and centre console. I think I would have shied away from that part, but you did it and I admire your tenacity. It is my favourite car in my favourite colour and to say I am impressed is an understatement. WELL DONE!!!

    4:44 "vehicle ready to drive" off down macca's then with a caved in front end lol. I find it weird that the gas strut isn't a standard on the MK 8 golf R, my MK 7.5 had one as standard but when I got my MK 8 I had to order a gas strut separately, I did get my MK 8 on launch day (uk) so that might of changed but i felt kind of ripped off spending that money on a MK8 R with no gas strut for the bonnet.

    Please angle the pipe from the coolant tank downwards enough so that the gas strut doesn’t rub against it when the bonnet is down. I’ve seen a few MK8’s lose coolant because of this.

  • @raymondtuckey6035
    @raymondtuckey6035 Рік тому +2

    Hi Chris
    Why have you primed the front bumper in grey, but left bonnet& wings black, this will definitely throw your colour match out.. if original blue was paint on white or grey primer you should also to match or contrast will be out surely ?? Love the video's, just my 2 pennies worth as want it to look sweet 👍👍
