Now we have the #mercedes #amg back from the bodyshop its time to tackle all of the finishing touches that are stopping me from being able to drive this car legally on the road. All very fiddly details but will make the difference between the car looking complete in the flesh and also lasting the test of time.

Chris, by doing this Merc with a Temu kit you have hit the nail right on the head! Most people cant afford the custom stuff from the top makers, By doing this you have showed that 'Mr Average' can do it too. Well done mate
yes, and it makes an economical, sensible way to repair a car like this
eastern europe and asian car tuners have been doing this stuff for a while. as shipping from china is much cheaper for them. here in usa when rebuilding a salvage it makes the most sense to get used OEM parts vs waiting weeks and paying high shipping for chinese parts. but i love the conversions that alibaba body kits can do. dudes turn their older model mercs and bmws to look like newer models. even changing the interior sometimes. theres a channel autobahn thailand on youtube that converted a g20 3 series into a yellow g80 M3 and did it spot on
@@deancwhmackinnon6547 he keeps saying Temu but it’s from Ali express
@@ISLAMICSTORIES13 Link it if u can
yeh with about 100,000k in labour between everyone ....
3rd brake light in the spoiler also houses reverse/backup lights. Could be worth checking out (if there’s another wire apart from the brake light one).
yeah, unless the center light is reverse, its not functioning as it should.
I think this one of the best cars someone has brought back from the dead on YoutTube, such a classy merc
Finding 'Dips' has been a real boost for your builds and your channel. Team work makes the Dream work ! 👍👍
Literally drove past your place earlier and saw it parked up outside looks amazing mate!
Last time I was this early … I ended up with my son
thats crazy ☠️
te he he he he
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Same😂
This car is the reason i subbed! Such a unique project... This ones a keeper foo shoo!!!👍👍
Hands down one of my favorite rebuilds the car look unreal. 😮
You deserve it Chris. Congrats🎉👍
Loved watching the transformation of this car you guys made that body kit work beyond what it’s worth. Should take it back to Mercedes and show them how you saved yourself over 100k
Great content Chris, which is what these youtube channels are about. Ignore the negative remarks, most of them I'm sure would swap places with you in a heartbeat but dont have the character to put the hard work in.
Shout out to Dips, legend!
Unfortunately just cant love it with the stock wheels on!!! CANNOT WAIT to see your wheel choice & Colour! Well done so far 😅
That looks absolutely sick, wasn’t sure how it would end up looking but it’s 10/10
For the number plate I believe the bumper was made for one of those sticker number plate things so you can stick it either under the headlight if the is any space ofcourse or on the splitter
I think the spilter is the best place tbh
@@Soul-IM didn't even look that bad tbh
Or just don’t run it and take the tickets. Not sure how it works in euro land but in the US some don’t run front plates and never had issues.
@@ginco_bnz my local newspaper reported there was a Ferrari impounded not so long ago for having no front number plate… I believe you can also get up to a £1000 fine and 3 points on your licence, but points are bad, because after 12 points you lose your licence for like at least a year or more, which means no driving any cars, besides, insurance in the UK goes off no claims or penalty points, where my ford focus is like £400 a year to insure, with 3 points it would probably be £1000 a year to insure, even more with more points, then with a historic ban from driving maybe £3000 a year to insure… I have zero points and like 15 years no claims, you never want to lose any of that shit lol
@@ginco_bnz thats not how it works in Europe sadly, most countries you will get a fine and the second time they will impound it. You NEED 2 plates there are no exemptions
Love the colour. Great work and lots of patience. Great friends too!
The car is already low enough. No need to be lowered. And the exhaust is loud enough already and sounds good
No it needs lowering like a proper one with better wheels.
I totally, totally love this car Chris. I have only ever seen two out here in Australia, both in Sydney. I am glad you retained the original colour too. Fab wheels, well done! I just rebuilt an SLK from the ground-up, wiring everything, so I know how the wheels turn. I love your channel - keep it coming.
Looks epic! - Spoiler bolts were a huge improvement but I think the time has come for black anodised! 👍
You've just driven past me on the m6 by Sandbach services. She looks stunning in person. Well done 👏
The sharpie on the white board is wild 18:40
16:52 to remove the sharpie from the white board you have to over write with the sharpie later and wipe off straight away. The new ink will dissolve the old one.
@frankyy99 I was about to comment this too 👍 or even some of the alcohol hand wash would do the trick
Magic eraser cleaner sponge works best for the white board
What a car looks absolutely amazing to me. You’ve done a fantastic job and if you like it, I wouldn’t listen to anybody else says all getting better and better all the time.
I saw this on my fyp and was instantly excited to see it! this series is one of my favorites
Well done Chris, it's an absolute credit to you.
I've always loved the amg GT, so it's been a pleasure to watch this series. 👍
Been watching since part 1, and the hardwork you put was emance, love the final product mate 💪🏻
Chrissy 1000000% the right decision to keep the OG colour looks awesome mate and that’s coming from someone who’s not a massive fan of the GT! If your ever cruising through Wellingborough pop in to my shop, it’s called Found, I’ll hook you up with some new sneakers FOC. All the best mate, Dean.
Best crash damaged build on UA-cam! Love this car
You have done an outstanding job mate, well done 🎉keep up the good work Chris ❤❤
Support for the body shop guys!!!!! Unsung hero's of every build!
Brilliant video. But your hair has absolutely zero chance.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m desiring a better sound from the exhaust is all!! Car looks sick man you and all the others truly saved the machine
Looks sick but I think it needs the updated headlights, pricey but worth it.
Congratulations, from what you had, to what you’ve achieved is absolutely amazing. You’ve got yourself a gorgeous car, which are still a lovely looking beast.
Amazing… looks better to me than the real black series. Well done Chris all your hard work is proper paying off
Definitely need black bolts on the spoiler if you’re aiming for a car that looks £500K! 😂
love it , im a merc fan myself so slightly biased , its without a doubt the best car you've done yet , she's a stunner
We’re almost there.
Let’s go team Chris
Must say that you all get to work on really interesting cars. The availability of parts and reasonable services
is a big plus. And well, space to work.
Buy the plate direct from DVLA. That other place will charge you £80 assignment and then vat on top making it more expensive.
Wing Bolts - Go to a company called Pro-Bolt and you could fit titanium or yellow/gold anodised bolts and washers… nice finishing touch Chris.
Seen the video, ran to get a can from the fridge, C'mon. That looks absolutely naughty. Can't wait to see the tune
Nice decision buying that new workshop. You deserve getting this improvement in the channel!!!
Stunning car bud, new sub from part 1. Well earned for all the hard work. Now to catch up on previous vids.
Been waiting for a part 4. Car looks mint waiting for the new wheels will top it off 👌
My personal thoughts:
- the wheels are not okay, silver doesn’t go with night blue and carbon
- the steering wheels looks bad, you should have retrofitted the newer one
- the front lights are meh, I think the newer one would have looked better
And it’s too high 😂
Silver rims look very nice, especially with a brushed finish
Awesome to finally see it on the road after all this time and effort you guys put in! Cheers from Pakistan mate!
South Africans where yall at?🎉🎉
Silapha Sila 🎉
Mostly in South Africa, I’d imagine.
@@hrob123😭
sikhona silapha
My brother 🫡
I'm loving this build series.... I can't get enough of it... Brilliant!
1:42 love this Chris but that orange peel is shocking
It’s really bad! Back bumper, bottom of the front fender. Ruins all the hard work they put in 😞
@@Darsh5361 Doesn't ruin it.. it can be flatted and polished out. remember he used.to be a detailer!
Wow that is terrible paint work.
You’re gonna have to put the plate underneath the Mercedes badge like Shmee’s
I remember back in the day you would want a small level of orange peel on cosworths when repainting as they had this from factory.
Gotta say Chris, never been a huge fan of Mercs, but that is an absolute weapon, what a build, never thought that kit would work, nice job by all ......new premises looking good to 👍🏻
Obviously you haven’t used this videos sponsor then, you’re still losing your hair 😂😂
I think the builds be stressing him faster than the products can work 😂😂
That's because most of those hair loss things are bs 😂
Yeah.... Freddy too! And he was sponsored by HIMS😂😂😂
bro you have smashed this you have come far bro big up couldnt think of anyone more deserving mat and chris fan from day one cant wait for more !!
early!!!!!!!!
My favorite car of all time and this one is Bad To The Bone!! Awesome Chris
Much Love from Florida!!
Mate change the wheels.
2.30 he said hel come back to that u slow
Wow that $10K Black Series Kit looks amazing and the bodywork looks perfect. That is one sick AMG you got there!!
Something about that bodykit just doesnt look right imo
Those facelift headlights make a big difference
The Star in the Front ist also wrong. And there are still alot of small Aero parts Missing.
@@henrik2935 yeah
Love your attitude about this bag and not caring about what people will say. kislux You are right keep your head up and no your priorities.
You have such an entertaining style Chris! Love all your videos and this one has been exceptional. Nothing seems to get you sown - well done!
When you think the Mercedes body kit was from memory £150K the Temu kit was exceptionally good value, it does look great, well done !!! Most aftermarket kits need some work to make fit, really enjoy this rebuild, as a Mercedes driver, and this is a car I would love for that engine alone, twin turbo V8 😍
Gotta say, Chris, I never in a million years thought this one would have turned out so good. What a stunning car 👍
Glad to hear you are keeping this one cause its the one I would keep for sure.
For me, you won't top this. You took a chance and risked it big time, and the car gods have given you the thumbs up. Well done, Chris. Those body shop guys, did you have a solid man.
Loving The Video Chris, You've done an amazing Job on That Merc. A True Professional at work.
What a fucking ride this has been! I found out about your channel by chance, binge-watched all the videos, and the sense of pride and accomplishment is as it's my own. Congrats Chris.
After watching the number plate placement puzzle, I couldn't help but look up Shmee's AMG GTR to see where he stuck it. looks like it's a curved plate just below the massive Merc badge.
Spotted this at the service station near Huddersfield on Saturday. Looks unreal. 🙌🏻👏🏻. Really enjoyed this series. Great work and you've made it an easy watch 👍
OUSTANDING JOB!! Well done Chris!
For the number crew.... video is 31:32. Doesn't happen by accident. Nice work, Chris. 👊
It's goes without saying the editing, the presentation and the music is top quality. Chris, you're making some top-quality videos.
Man, this car is such a beast!!! So nice to see that you chose Mercedes AMG to modify, not another BMW.
My No1 car channel. Well done Chris 👍
Awesome build, you turned this around quickly as the car looks EPIC!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this AMG man what a build never let this one go gotta keep it.
Like I said in the first video of the series, this is gonna be an amazing build, not to mention the fact that it’s been in the personal car collection of Roger Taylor👌👌
Car looks absolutely mint Chris! Great work!
What im not jelous about is the roads you have to drive that beautiful car on. Not even close to our roads in Sweden. Thanks for sharing this awesome build with us! :)
Great credit to you Chris, that should go well down Humble Lane.
For the spoiler take some flared screwes blued, look’s better
01:30 omg this is amazing, fell in love with this instantly!
Then Number One Car Video I’ve Highly Anticipated Since The Beginning Of Watching UA-cam. Keep Soaring Slix 🙌🏽
Impressive!
Looking forward to your next builds, and seeing whether you can top this.
Dips comes across like the nicest guy you ever could meet!!
Exhaust sounds great, reset low tyre warning in on screen memory after all pressure equal.
My goodness it’s a beauty!! That engine sounds like a symphony. I cannot wait for you to sprinkle your mods on the engine bay and see how much performance you can get from it. This is such an epic build congratulations Chris
love these videos! two things I'd have done. Get the Blk Edition fender wells and cut the hole out for the vent. Use 3M tape for rear badge.
Gassed to be a part of this build 👏🏼
20:25 Shmee has his mounted center below the logo. That said, if you can get away with leaving it off, I would.
Great work Chris, it’s nice to see some different cars being restored and improved. The only thing I would say is that I don’t think the wheels are special enough for the car after all of the black series upgrades, it needs something more, and it would probably benefit from being slightly lower.
I was just minding my own business…now I involuntarily click to watch this video. I see, I click 😂😂😂
Love seeing your journey with every car you get, motivates me until I go out and break a headlight tab and then leave it for another day 😂
You made it a beautiful car Cris , a real dream car !!! I love your video's . One small thing i would change is the Mercedes stars , i would make them black .
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
That car just looks so sick.. i think a full black color would make it perfect. I hope one day i'll own one of these and be able to drive it.
The only thing that’s missing is the head light and for your own fun the interior. Literally everything is else is spot on. Good job!!!
Nice work as usual. A quick hack for shiny bolts is, (depending on the material) if you want them darker/blued is to hit them with some heat, and then quick dip into some old oil. Is a temp fix as some cheaper ones, will rust quicker.
Mercedes usally mounts the front plate right under the big mercedes badge on the grill and it doesn't look too bad, also if I were you I'd swap out the headlights for the actual black series ones to make it look just more realistic.
Other than that, props to you mate, it's amazing, true "budget" dream car 👏🏻
first off your smashing it with the cars its entertaining, second something I noticed how you help your buddy Mat so many times but i havent seen him giving you a hand with your projects on any of your episodes, I could be wrong its something i noticed maybe he is just not being filmed im just saying cuz i had friends like that . licence plate would be cool free floting off a
tow hook back plate.
The car turned out so cool. I actually like with the OEM silver wheels, the color combo is so similar with Shmee SLS Black Series xD
It looks stunning! I have had a normal GT and now I have a GTR. I, as an amateur driver, don`t feel the big difference when driving. Most of the car is the same. So you have got yourself a nice piece of kit 🙂 ( If you want you can tune the engine to endless horsepower and beat every stock GTR on the road)
I was never a fan of black wheels. So I bought grey/ silver wheels to the GTR. It lost about 50 % aggressiveness by doing that, and I have changed my mind regarding black wheels - they look awesome on a GT. So a new set of wheels will make your car complete, I think!
To get sharpie ink off a whiteboard, simply use a sharpie to overwrite the letters and wipe off as ink is still wet!
Outstanding end result
