I have always loved the #mercedes #amg gt #blackseries but realistically it is probably a car which I will never be able to afford. So when buying my AMG GT from copra salvage auction I knew what I had to do. But with the price of the kit being near to the cost of a house in the UK buying genuine parts really was not an option...

IF ITS NOT FROM TEMU DONT SAY IT IN THE TITLE
temu or aliexpress its pretty much the same anyways
Then why not say Ali express then
Exactly, youtubers are about as trustworthy as politicians now a days
@@chalky0 Not true at all!!
Temu ,ali express ,wish are all the same i just think temu is the latest place
Really impressed with the packing and the kit quality from what we can see. I wasn't expecting that at all. Reckon this car will look insane when finished, def made the right choice in adding the kit.
also funny him calling aliexpress shady when there is SO MUCH scam going on even on amazon (and ali is a chinese analog)
I would clearcoat that
“carbon fiber “ to be sure it is UV-protected and prevent it from becoming yellow
You never know what was used.
Temu Carbon carbon fiber skinning ontop of abs plastic is very thin and flakes in the sun definitely clear coat anything from temu
@@24ct_G The resin can become yellow due to UV exposure
Looks like its already clear coated by the gloss of it.
@@raumo123 it’s not enough
@@24ct_G it really can, If their are using a cheap matrix (which they ARE) it will yellow. 2K epoxy, the "plastic" part in carbon fibre reinforce plastic (CFRP), can yellow just as your 2K expoxy "glue" will
Soo... Not temu 🧐
( 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂) no … I think
The car
Dumbest clickbait ever...
Disliked the video, *I'm doing my part*
@@beii5793 Tried to get this on Temu. I instead now own 17 new sunglasses, 9 different led gadgets, 3 things I forgot what they are for and a single glove 🤷.
Why does the thumbnail say temu,,,,,stinks of click bait
For real. Might as well go all the way. “I imported a Black Series body kit from the moon”
It’s Chinese made so close enough
Temu will likely get more clicks than AliExpress, since Temu is more widely known by the public. Yes clickbait but still ordering from a Chinese website..
Ya, when you lie before we watch, can't trust you. Won't watch another video. But I get many people like lying, think it's cool.
@@benjamindavid6733 well not really, ali express has good stuff, temu would not have a body kit for a few k usd
it is clear clickbait. why couldn't he say aliexpress? because he lied for engagement
If you bought it from Aliexpress what's the video got to do with Temu?
Click bait to get more views
You got to love chris he didn’t keep us waiting for the kit
Met you a couple months ago playing darts on a night out, absolute legend, thank you for taking the time to talk and being down to earth! Keep up the hard work!
Calm down, he's just some cringe clickbait youtuber.
if that's the case why just comment? relax buddy if it's nothing special than it's meaningless to even share your thoughts @@DannysGalaxyTab
You should make an “ I’ll come back to that” t-shirt. 😂
😂😂😂 love that
@@Chris_Slix please do
@@Chris_SlixU-Turn symbol maybe thrown in there 😂
“I’ll come back to that… I think.” 😂
Balls of steel ordering this kit unseen, high risk brings high reward. Mega impressed with the quality and packaging!
To be honest, this kind of build is what most of us could afford to do, nice one
I can hardly afford to watch this video 🤣
@@b44rt haha, same
I’m in the process restoring a BMW E61 mSport touring LCI, more my price range
MOST of us ?? Who are those people ?? I dont know single person that could afford this project
@@lordzed83 I’m more talking about the parts and getting them off Temu / wish, not the car
Greetings here from South-Africa. You and Matt inspire alot of people. Keep it going🎉

The prices of the kit are so high to keep the black series exclusive.
Black series is a completely different car, based around the GT3 racecar, limited build numbers so parts prices will always be high.
Also, with the run number of the car being so limited they’ll have to charge huge amounts to recoup some of the money it would have cost on the parts. I work in the automotive carbon world and would ball park the it costing Mercedes around 10k per bonnet from a reputable brand. Once you add design and tooling cost they’ll they’ll probably be putting a 50% mark up on the part
@@WPD77 yes but 30k for a bonnet is ridiculous, even for a gt3. And the chassis is just a normal chassis. Doesn't even come close to a gt3.
@@TheTechnoaddictBlack series is a completely different car including the chassis.
@@WPD77 but still a normal street legal chassis. Not like the gt3.
Bro casually pulling up at the Mercedes dealership with a bmw😭
Frr😭😭
This is gonna look sick!
When your Aston did how is this one not going to . Wish you luck on the M5
Aren't you mad that he stole your exact thumbnail? I would haha
So it’s from AliExpress and not Temu
Legit , what a clickbaiter
@@Kareem-vw8qyfacts might not sub now
It's nuance.
@@Kareem-vw8qy
Waaaaa, Mr 'Legit'.
It’s the same thing basically 😢😂😂😂
Always think about Alibaba/Temu parts but I’ve never been brave enough to pull the trigger - love that you’ve rolled the dice to see what actually turns up! Looking forward to seeing the finish!
The thing is, all of these UK based companies that have popped up selling carbon kit for cars are just using the same suppliers and adding 1000's on top for their cut. You can save so much going direct, but obviously you have to take your chance if something doesn't fit or is broken, as customer service is going to be a challenge, not being in the UK.
@@chiganuggoo9929 i'm from russia (yeah, unfortunately) and we are buying a lot stuff from aliexpress, customer support is actually great (well at least in my 300-400 orders). Just don't buy shady shit like "REEL STIRING LAMBARGINI WEEL".
Although i'm not buying a lot these days and i never had to sent anything back because the fee for sending it back was far greater than the product itself (like the product is 10$ and to sent it back i have to pay 20$ which doesn't work for anyone because no one will return those money to you.).
They have (i hope they still have) an option to refund half of the money that you paid for a broken/damaged product without sending).
😅😅😅😅@@chiganuggoo9929
I have ordered some stuff there occasionally. It goes from "like OEM" to "unusable crap".
Glad I could help
Just make you what you order has reviews with pictures. I've bought loads of stuff, and it's been good mostly.
Here's a tip from the aerospace industry. When you're drilling composite panels use a block behind the panel to drill into mafde of jabloc or similar heavy composite material to prevent breakout from the hole and possible failure of the panel.
I know it sounds crazy but you need to disconnect the aluminium inserts and rivets from the carbon fiber by wrapping one layer of tape around them you will struggle heavily with galvanic corrosion within a year because the aluminium reacts with the carbon. Trust me i do this for a living Google it if you don't but make shure not to have aluminium on carbon fiber
HUGE Spoiler Alert !!!😂😂😂
Ahhhh w pun

Lmfao holy spoiler
A German here: „Made in germany” is translated to „in Deutschland hergestellt” over here, so they just just made a mistake hahaha
Yeah but it said MIDE in Germany 😂
@@Cazline Yes, that's the point Max is making. (the host can't speak German)
You should've seen the smile on my face when i saw this hitting over a million views ❤. Well deserved and hope to see the channel continue to grow. 🎉
Great to see you pushing the boundaries on this with an aftermarket kit, like all your cars to date..it will be a success⛽
Those mirror caps have probably just been put there to fill up the space in the box to stop things moving around. Probably cheaper for them to use old/ unsold parts than find some packing that's the right size.
Brave choice with that kit. I’m sure loads of people have considered ordering from Ali but not done it! Great vid!
Chris, a brilliant video mate, love your honesty on your builds, this one will get a spot outside Monaco Casino for sure 👍🏻
I’m a Brit in the US. I have a tool called an Astro ADN14 rivnut tool. Check it out Chris, you may find it useful for setting rivnuts (it attaches to your drills)

Surprised how good those parts fitted.
You make it look easy, great work, keep it up👍
You deserve much more subscribers man, looking forward to your next vid
28:00 they are made that way because the molds for the carbon fiber would be 2 complex so they made 2 molds which make it easier to produce.
Outstanding Chris - possibly my favourite build - that includes all of Matts! & that fella is smashing it 👊🏻
Agreed 👍
Midlands car scene is the best in the country for sure. Living the dream blasting 10Gs on a teemu body kit 😂 it looks sick! Cant wait for next episode
After watching you guys, now I can work on some minor faults on my car plus service it myself
Hey Chris... From 4K views in one of your 'early days' Seat Arosa videos to half a million view in this one and climbing....
Fair play fella. Your hard work and humorous, relatable content are paying off in a big way. Well done!
For what its worth, I watched your video before MA's video, keep going.
Wow go you
I was literally looking at wrecked GTs and and aliexpress bodykits the other day thinking that could be a sweet build at some point lol Needless to say I'm grabbing some popcorn for this, great work so far!
Its goona look mental chris 🤜🤛 enjoying this build mate
Congratulations on the 1m views mate! Throughly deserved!!
Love your vids - 500k before end of year 🤞🤞
Good sign kit was packed so well, people care, and so fare looks very impressive, rear end 😍 well done, body panels have improved massively over past decade, enjoying this.!!!
You no what I'm actually impressed with that kit tbf
I can imagine the reason why the body kit is in separate bits is down to cost effectiveness. The more parts there are, the more likely they can be used on other cars too.
Great content. Will certainly be following this series!
MEGA... keep on the good work m8 greets from Poland !
Cant wait to see how this looks, chris slix the bodykit guy. 🤙🏻
GT Black Edition owner here. Keeping a close eye on your cosmetic upgrade 😮
His one will be better than a black series by the time he is done
Voyager 2 owner here. I also will be keeping a close eye.
Christ I am so hooked on these videos.
Loved this one Chris!
From an OG
Does anybody else watch Chris’ videos at 1.25x speed?
2x speed 😂
What a project this is turning out to be 🚀.
Amazing having the bodykit ordered, unboxed and partly fitted in one big video👌🏼. Most would make 3-4 video’s out of it.
i guess that the side skirt comes in three just in case you damage a part of it you just replace that bit instead of the whole side skirt ,just a guess
Don’t get why anyone is annoyed at Temu being in the title, pretty much the same as Ali express, some times you gotta play the algorithm, would be the same video no matter the Chinese site the kit was bought from, I enjoyed it
I'm annoyed because I clicked on the video because of that Temu name
Temu is not like Aliexpress
Im not 100% but i think that front piece of the side skirt is separate so that when it gets chipped from tires throwing debris you only have to replace that piece not the whole side skirt
You will make it look great
Keep up the amazing work
Over here across the pond .

Great content brother , earned a sub and share !
Keep it coming !
Awesome work 🎉 Chris , watching from Zimbabwe
Apoooo
I am absolutely amazed that this kit looks as good as it does. That's mental.
Great choice to put delivery in the same video. Lovely
Best choice with the kit. And having installed quite a few Chinese kits, I can say that this one is of a pretty good quality.
Greetings from Malaysia, really enjoyed watching your videos, keep going 🎉
Nice video chris, cant wait for the next. Yiu got lucky there with the kit, it looks top quality for aliexpress.
Keep the big box..may come in handy if someone dies 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
That was a risky buy but has massive potential the black series is definitely a favourite of mine, if this turns out anything like it then fair play can't wait for the next video 👏👏
bad tittle clickbait is not cool the good one must be rebuilding a black series with temu parts
12:07 that is the biggest fortune cookie I’ve ever seen 😅
I dreamed about doing this, I saw the kit on Ali express 😂 can't wait to see the results of great work 👏🏿
Don’t forget to leave a review for the seller 👌🏻
An incredible video Chris. I saw you on Saturday but didn't want to bother you. Great work my friend.
goonzquad did this build and bought a kit for theirs, looked a good quailty kit too.
I just said the same thing .
Wasn't that from duke dynamics?
i have to admit im impressed so far with the quality of the kit !
So where does TEMU come into play? Oh, it doesn't. It was all just clickbait. I wish yt would give out strikes for clickbaiting. You deserve the thumbs down I gave you.
Nice blod move and I recon its gonna pay off 💯 high risk / high reward 💥 this build is gonna be sick 💪
That look likes the menu at my local Chinese restaurant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ill have a number 5 and a 42

I enjoy the project! Are you doing something on it like performance wise? Cheers from NL 🇳🇱

exactly what i thought first
They both do what they love, good for them 💪
I mean he is friends with Mat Armstrong and has been in various of his videos.
😂
I dont blame him. It’s good content
Great video bro 🙌🙌🙌
quack quack
Dude, you got a subscribe from me just for taking one for the team and letting us know how it goes 🙌 (only 7mins in so 🤞 for you!)
Chris, if youre spending that kinda money, you should have spent the £400 on ticket to visit the seller in China....it would have been good content...better than Matt's and you could see what your buying and taken stuff back on the plane....oh well 😢😢
Why did you have to say better than matts like it’s a competition
Great vid again Chris. It’ll look sick once it’s all nailed down properly 👍🏻
155k for a body kit WHAT!!!
I guess when you think about the fact that the Black Edition costs about half a million it makes sense
looking awesome cant wait to see the next video, i think you should put a livery on the car as well
Nothing wrong with temu. Great for cheap clothes to use on holiday etc. Never had any issue with temu to date. Nothing has fell apart
Well, except for the fact they have your personal details.
Sell stuff cheap is worth the loss for the data they gather.
Maybe the chinese will spare you when you show them your buying history
Pretty sure the issue with Temu is security of personal information including form of payment, plus some of those products are definitely sweatshop produced. I’d be cautious hence why I’d never opt for that
except he did not use TEMU but bought from AliExpress which is a totally different company. So the title is clickbait and false

Also Chris, you can ask the sellers to send you original pictures instead of looking at a stock images and wondering what you’re actually going to get, many are happy to do so!
Those BMW mirror caps are most likely a gift from the seller for conducting business with them not a mistake, quite common with china purchases
@@vitalpandya7908 most likely expendable plastic so they can fill empty areas of the box. For protection.

I could watch bodykit installations all day ,just subscribed from Mr Armstrong channel
Love it ,you do know they do an air powered rivnut gun ! Can't wait to see the finished car !
Looking good Chris. What a surprising result from the Far East!
I'm subscribing busy cuz in love his determination & the fact that he doesn't waste his money on the Mercedes overpriced kit lol
I was in for this build when it wasn't a BMW. Now I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out.
First video iv watched and I actually loved your content and your pals are sound ❤
Iam surprised howThat kit fit almost perfect is gona look insane good choice
The funniest part is that he had to order his part from aliexpress and then promotes autodoc 😂
