Don't want to be negative but I have to agree, such a shame to have those basic plastic trims, it's an insult to the paint job. Great video though and fair play to you lad
Ultimate sleeper vibes. I did this with my R200 back in the 90s when I put a T16 Torbo engine in it. Everything was basic level trim and look. The Porsches of the day had a long look before getting away 😅🤣
@@daanvangeldorp1101 I know yeah but the finish is always shite. A customer of mine had his Nissan Gtr wrapped and it looked terrible. Nice colour but awful finish. No depth
@@chriscooks9850All depends on material tbh. Certain brands have much nicer finishes than others. Oracal 970 has a paint like finish. Avery and 3m both look shite for orange peel. But theyre the easiest to install.
While you mentioned a "mirror finish" in the video, I have to respectfully disagree since there’s visible orange peel throughout. That said, the paint job and technique are fantastic! It’s important for people to understand that this is completely normal after painting. Once the paint cures, a full detailing process -sanding, polishing, and ceramic coating- can really bring out a flawless finish. Not trying to sound critical, just pointing out the real potential of this paint job! Amazing work, and I’m a big fan of this build. Keep it up!
Exactly this! If Jack thinks it looks good now, he’ll be amazed how much the pearl will pop after a good cut and polish. But then again, we’ve never seen jacks mirror 😂
@@JackMcNeillCarsgloss black on the plastics too, if you can and it'll look savage. Also, you're definitely turning it aren't you? A friend of mine managed 350bhp+ with the Polo GTI + the Golf R turbo (and some other auxilary components)
I preferred the original navy blue. Looks more sleeper style and classy. Fancy paint colour on a fox looks like a 17 yr old that has too much pocket money 😂
Broo, your video edits and shots are great, music selection is so nice and fitting, the work on the car is insane and well documented, and the love for a cheap car is amazing. Overall, I am super happy to discover your channel few videos back, and I hope the best for your team! You are basically becoming one of my top automotive channels.
paints drawn in a lot by the looks. it looked good in the oven straight after its bake but its drawn in as its gone off more. would take a lot of flat/polishing to get that back to glass. hopefully its got enough product on it...
Thats a insane amount of work for your bodyshop guy, i'm not a fan of the colour though, its a bit tacky and very 90s Max Power. The original blue looked far nicer imho but as long as your happy with it.
Those who don’t know might see it on the road and think it’s some gash “Colour Splash” limited edition or some other trolly spec. Those who know; Lambo. Perfect colour choice. I’d love to own this car.
Great video. Lovely colour although you've got slight orange peel going on. Wet sand, cut and Polish needed. I would have colour code most of the black plastic and spray those Monzas black and diamond cut back if they'll take it.
@@null643 i think its really ugly to but yeah , not a sleeper anymore, would have been cooler with some outrages bodykit instead of this hideos purple. But hey great job.
@@null643 there is no such thing as a good looking vw fox 🤣 I think that’s the beauty of this project, take a car no one modifies because they were ugly and you can’t go wrong 😂
this series is awesome love seeing cars that were ruff then get transformed buddy. keep it up man! i have visions of what would look good on that car. Keep the vids coming jack! :D
I can already see the montage of all the Lamborghini style modifications you've made already to the Jazz and now this colour put together for the video when you get your first Lambo Jack! 👌
@@JackMcNeillCars seriously mate your attention and commitment can’t be faulted. Keep up the good work 👍. Realistic cars the majority of people can build rather than some overpriced super car.
I’ve been watching ( on the Mrs’s I pad ) since Boris was N/A. Just subbed on my phone because I have to comment. Don’t paint it… please don’t paint it 🤢🫣
Looking good Jack! Literally the only thing letting the exterior down now are those faded black plastics. They’re crying out for some satin black paint!! I think the lambo purple was a great colour choice though and I wasn’t sure about the red callipers when the car was still in the booth but in daylight it works well!
my first car is gonna be a 1.2 2010 black fox with wind up windows so watching this puts a smile on my face, keep up great work, love ur vids especially the jazz type r
Bro I like watching your videos because it's raw, you show your mistakes you show how not easy it is to work on a car and you show us the whole process. You and Chris fix be the same
Love the purple 💜 now to tint rear lights, side indicator, touch up all black plastics. Whether to paint VW badge black. Don't put the FOX badge back on. Maybe a small spoiler, tint the windows, wind deflectors.
Max power vibes, my childhood right there. Needs polish prep work and it’ll be naughty. Not my colour but I do like that it’s different though! Keep on trucking
Great work Jack, Loving the colour. You know your going to have to wrap the bumper lowers and all the other black panels Carbon or gloss black to finish the job.
The lower trims definitely need painted the same color as the car. I know you want to do them in gloss black, but black in any capacity makes it look like a basic trim level. Painting them the same color makes the car look more "body low". Do it right Jack, you won't regret it.
Dude, that's siiiick 🔥 I have a vw fox here in brazil, there is 1 thing you could buy to make it look better, a new pair of headlights. There is a version of the vw fox here in Brazil called Fox Route, where the low beam and high beam are in 2 different areas on the front light, like a vw golf/jetta kind of, and the blinkers are in a spot in the middle of them.. google it later, I think it would look awesome!
Good job there m8 been doing bodywork for 35 + years good to see people doing the job properly and removing the engine and so on worst thing ever is when it’s got a nice paint job and u lift the bonnet , boot or door and see different colours or overspray , this is why I hate , hate wraps again goid prep work
You could replace these headlights on the Fox with the black mask version that came out on the 2009 Fox and SpaceFox models. It would look really nice and match the color perfectly.
Holly Holly Holly sheeeeeeesh. My god Jack. From what you purchased originally and all the hard work and money you have put into the "MEGA FOX" absolutely brilliant, cost alot, but mega. And From a young man like yourself. 🍾👍👍👍👍👍🍾👍👍👍👍
I am envious but in a positive way. Shows if you research and truly believe and commit too something it does truly show what you can achieve. Well done and all the best on your next car journey's. Rob A.
That colour is amazing awesome paint job you definitely need to upgrade headlights to some angel eyes or something along those lines and maybe some new rear tail lights smoked out , change the seat belt colour , red would go nice to match with the callipers and maybe a steering wheel mod flat bottom this is a nice build and one of my favourites on YT at the moment can’t wait to see what’s in store next
With this project, it would be nice to see some interior work? New audio system to show an aftermarket audio system? Seats? Stuff on the inside we don't normally see
Paint job is very, very nice. Would've personally gone for a classic GTi colour but I do really like it. Needs a wee polish though, there's a few spots of orange peel visible in the video. Hope your putting the interior from the donor car in? Tartan recaros are a must for this car. Would maybe see if Lav can paint your front bumper gloss black, similar in style to the MK5 golf GTi and 9N3 Polo GTi - would finish it off nicely imo.
the colour looks amazing but it needs a wed sand and a polish to get rid of the orange peel. Up close and in the light the colour is hidden by bumps and waves
Looks great, but think its maybe missing some beef, maybe some honeycomb grills or some carbon fibre front splitter, rear diffuser and side skirts etc??
Hey mate. Love this build definitely a true one of a kind. Just curious, are you planning on putting together a GTI inspired body kit for it or modifying the grills? I reckon it would really complete the whole look, especially with those rims and that beautiful paint job
Great little project going on ! But like people are saying lose the black . And the rims are a bad choice after all the effort on the paint job. That's just my opinion. Great content tho pal 👌
I would have personally updated / changed out the front and rear bumpers as well as the grille. The Jazz Type R looks like a type R but this still has povo spec trim. New bumpers and grille would change it completely.
I would paint the black plastic in a gloss black and I would fit projectors HID’s in the headlights, it’s an easy diy install - there’s a guy in the midlands that does them for you, but you could easily tackle that yaself
I agree with all the comments that say need to paint the black/gray trim pieces. Whether it’s gloss black or purple as well, the matte black doesn’t look right. As well as either open and refinish the headlights or get some with a black housing a or something. The silver looks weird, just doesn’t match imo. Same with the wheels and tail lights. Maybe get the later style gti wheels where they’re diamond cut 2tone machined and gloss black and get some kind of led tail lights. If you replaced those few things this car would look insane. As far as the engine not being put back, I’m gonna guess also getting paint, maybe a bump in power while it’s off? Larger turbo, stage 1 or 2 clutch, etc… and that’s why it’s “for another video”? Good luck my dude Cat is coming along great.

Are you going to wet sand and polish the paint fella? To get rid of the orange peel?
Now do the usual VAG stuff and stick lambo wheels and brakes on it.
Pls do a lower suspension and widebody kit
Better paint match front and rear bumper lips. Leaving it black gives "basic trim level" vibes

@@JackMcNeillCars i think they meant the same colour as the car Jack. not black but may be mistaken
@@JackMcNeillCarsgloss black Will looking shocking pal. Keep it all the same colour.
You need to do something about the black plastic on the front bumper, it ruins it.
Just needs to use some special wax on it. Or just get it painted as well.
Yeah painted is what I was thinking:)
Needs color coding
Gloss black
Thats a insane amount of work for your bodyshop guy, i'm not a fan of the colour though, its a bit tacky and very 90s Max Power.

Are you able to get this out to Misha for a couple laps of the ring?
You definitely need to get some kind of a body kit like you did on jazz. Fox is in need for more aggressive look. Btw love your content keep it up🫡
