Thanks everyone for watching! 10 months later I’ve made a follow-up with the basics to think about when modifying a car for the first time: ua-cam.com/video/uxr1a_WVggA/v-deo.html - go check it out!
@@CarsWithSam24 if you look hard enough you can buy some second hand joms or something for a very little amount of money, 60 is cheap and you can make your own body kit for very little too
@@CarsWithSam24 lowering springs are nowhere near 1000. You can get springs starting at £50…not that they’ll be fantastic but if you’re going for looks over comfort for some reason then that’s a good place to stsrt
You need to paint the tire letters with the tire mounted on the car. This ensures the tire is flexed while painting. If you paint then mount, the paint will also flex after a while will cause cracking and paint failure unfortunately. Just a tip :)
those plastic trim on the sides are for contact with another car, in example if someone open their car door too much it will hit your trim on the sides and no damage will be made
Amazing and will spoken video. Finally someone not too into going overboard with mods or stickers. I like how said a well placed accesory ans showed carbon fiber sode view mirror and half painted, made a considerable difference.
I work for JLR, and as for number 4 we have them plastic trims as optional extras on our new cars. I recall fitting them on a brand new Discovery 5 (and it looked hideous) but clearly people still want them
@@CarsWithJB I believe their purpose is for when somebody hits the car with their door it hits the plastic trim and not the paintwork - which is one reaosn people might choose to have them which I understand however they still dont look great.
If you want to make a wood grain finish you can paint whatever you want the finish on with a wood brown spray paint, let it dry, and then use a bristle brush with some wood stain and lightly brush over the part you painted. There are videos for doing it with different color combinations so you can see the right technique. I did it to some interior pieces and it actually looks pretty authentic. It didnt cost that much either
Fast affordable second cars 18-19 with decent mpg please !!! Love this channel I’m the lad with the 1.4 seat sport as a first car all black no black box 🤩
I would advice not getting aluminium valve caps as they tend to corrode and eventually “weld” them selfs to the valve stem resulting in great difficulty removing and in some cases need to replace the valve all together. Hope this helps anyone
That cheap dead trim is there to protect those parts from bumps and dings 😅 my car however doesn’t have it in a position that it looks ugly in My mirrors however are the same colour as the car
I’ve got the 6C 1.8 Polo GTI, Have a Maxton V2 diffuser, Lowering springs, Michelin ps4 tyres all round, Non res Catback system, Forge Dump valve... in terms of little Mods, Sprayed my chrome badges gloss black, Red overlays on the GTI badges, Carbon seatbelt covers and carbon door lock covers, Forge Sticker in rear passenger window and also changed Fogs to White LED’s and replaced the full number plate units with Led units with resistors, and finally swapped out standard plates from dealership with clean 3D gel plates looks the dogs bollocks now
I wanted the steering wheel to match wood trim on my Volvo v50. A replacement wheel would have cost several hundred quid but while trawling for a wood wheel I found a wood finish wheel cover for £11. I think it matches the wood trim and I think it looks great. 🇬🇧
We have the same vw...but mines red x So far ive just tinted her and im deciding weather to go with black or white mags .. Having so much fun slowly doing her up... U gave me an awesome idea on painting my bages :) Awesome vid. Be back again :)
This channel is so good man just found you yesterday. I I’ve watched almost all the videos talking about your polo 9n and cheap mods. So helpful as I just got a polo 9n a few weeks ago.
Wow, pretty awesome and extremely helpful bro. This is the exact thing I'm on right now, I own an Opel Adam and want to make it look cool. Didn't know where to start until now, so thanks for that.
No joke before I saw this video my first car that I bought 3 weeks ago looked Pretty ugly if I do say so myself but now it looks amazing thank you so so much
I may not be much of a Tesla fan, but in the current situation the best mod is clearly nicking their bioweapon defense mode... Edit: Simple reason why manufacturers put that cheap trim on, same reason cars have model badges- upselling. The more obvious they make the differences between the cheap and expensive versions, the more likely people are to buy the expensive ones since they don't want people to know they're in the cheap one.
Haha yeah that's a pretty good shout - wonder if it'll fit on the Polo...👀 and yeah that is a fair explanation - but in that case, crazy that it would be designed into the car from day 1 for that reason!
@@CarsWithJB Couple of cloths in the air vents, spray 'em with Dettol and job done! ☺ Manufacturers want to get as much money out of you as possible- low spec cars guilt you into buying the better ones, but the price is then basically the same as the next car up so you want that...but that's then the low spec and so on. Not knocking it, it's good business. There's a reason I drive a car that was nearly £60k when new!
Nice video man, have you considered getting some fresh bolts and washers for the front number plate, could literally cost pence and would prevent dripping rust look. You could even got them in black to match the grill. Keep up the content :)
I really do need them, it's been on my extended to-do list for quite some time at this point! When I'm allowed out of the house I'll be taking the bumpers off anyway so might as well do it then
That trim keeps dirt and mud from coming up and getting on your handles and on the upper part of your car it works very well my 90,000$ Mercedes has that same trim
good ideas , I will use some of it :D Untill now , on my mazda 6 , I had put LED light for on top of the lights ,they'r white and when i use the signal flows yellow . Interior lights under the seats and in front (leg position) , paint the tyres (but i didn't read the description of white marker , and it was for glass :)) so after the first rain , the paint starts to disapear) . what I will do next ... i will add twin exhaust pipe , i will set a rear spoiler with carbor fibre , and I am looking for some preety decals , I will made it , i want it to be original and I will change the air filtre with sport one , All the best
id go over the grey trim parts with a gloss black to match the roof, thats my plan for the lockdown soon. also, corsa splitters can be fitted onto the front of these
So basically fill your Wish or Ebay basket with the "Car Tuner/Styling" section.... Fixing your car/general maintance isn't a modification but still needed. Save your money and put it towards actual modifications!
My "thing" is ripping off the exaust and welding on a side pipe or something, putting in yellow lamps for headlights is a must, and ill happily roll the entire car matte-black for that yummy drugdealer-shitbox look
Your videos are really helpful and plain spoken, i was wondering if you see this comment could you send a link to get the fascia for the head unit please?
I bought a Red Volkswagen Passat B6 Estate (Romania) and a lot of people said it looks bad even my family, let me tell you something, don't let other people tell you what looks how. If you like it Buy it, I love my wheels and I plan on Updating Nav System and Steering wheel, Maybe Spacers.

1.lowering
2.set of wheels
3.exhaust
4.lights/window tints
5.bodykits/bumper extensions
The expensive ones
@@CarsWithSam24 the only expensive one on that list is the wheels
@@kristian5821 not true lowering usually costs between 300 to 1000 exhaust is around 60 plus lights are around 300 and body kits are like 2000

I've made my decision I'm gonna mod my car into a tuna thank you for your advice master 🤝
If you’re struggling with a tuna you can always go for a mackerel 🤙🏽
Cars With JB 🤣🤣🤣
I bought all the recommended upgrades. They are great!!
All I need now is a car to put them on
Should of saved for a car first
those plastic trim on the sides are for contact with another car, in example if someone open their car door too much it will hit your trim on the sides and no damage will be made
So I thought this too, but it's not on the widest part of the door, so it doesn't actually do its job!
@@CarsWithJB Well, it does if you bump in to a corner of a building or something. Don't ask how I know.
@@TheIdiotPlays same with the rear bumper. “My friend” found that out reversing into coop car park wall
Why dis guy look like minecraft Steve
Mojang used a photo of me to model Steve from
Cars With JB that’s honestly a huge compliment if you ask me 😂
Gagahaha
No that is a prime jawline
Lol
Should I engine swap a v10 into my VW 2008 can also planning on adding a double decker spoiler for “down force”
Don't forget to match that with a quadruple diffuser
naw dude at least a v12
Booley 1 good idea
"tuna' hahaha
Haha 👀

Haha British man talk funny
If u want to improve your interior get seat covers, floor mats, a steering wheel cover and seat belt covers. They really make it look sporty and good
All these vids gass me up for when I get my first car. Especially as I know exactly what it is as it’s my moms current car.
Haha excited for you!
Icant be badder than mine..bcuz mine is a renault clio 2 with 60hp
Same here! It’s an 2012 Audi A6

Very decent! Good luck 🤙🏽
I think I might sort a straight pipe for my 08 fiesta 150
Haha do it - make sure you send in a video of the noise

Good shout there - mine seem to be okay at the moment, but definitely worth considering!
draw pupils on the headlights and turn them on.

Cars With JB never mind I watched an old vid and have sent in a email to you mate hopefully will get featured!!
Why would u take out the cup holder that’s the best feature
Tinting makes any car look nice and doesn't cost an arm or a leg!
Ahhh yess the trim bits are blue, lovely job 🙏🏻

We have the same vw...but mines red x
So far ive just tinted her and im deciding weather to go with black or white mags ..
Having so much fun slowly doing her up... U gave me an awesome idea on painting my bages :)
Awesome vid.
Be back again :)
This red Miata is so sleek, huge fan of the all round lights
That “dead trim it’s normally put at the hight where most scratches from opening a door and tapping a flat surface
This channel is so good man just found you yesterday. I I’ve watched almost all the videos talking about your polo 9n and cheap mods. So helpful as I just got a polo 9n a few weeks ago.
Looks so much better colour coded 🔥
I'll hopefully do it this week!
These vids make me more and more to just tune and custamize my dads vw van :p
Haha get involved!
Cars With JB i wanted to put a cold air intake on my dads vauxhaul astra mk5 got robbed so ye vw van now
Black wheels, calipers, a color that jumps in the eye, red, that would contrast with the taillights, or yellow/green
I'd say window tint, taillight smoke, and painting your callipers.
Could you do a video on the best performing cars for around 25-50 k
I can have a look!
10:07 that’s my boys car 🤘🏽
Haha it was at Race Retro a few weeks ago, that's where I spotted it! Love the commitment to it
Yes it’s my mate’s car they call him Stickerman!

No worries, glad it helped!
The point of the plastic trims on the sides are to protect your paint from idiots who park beside you and open their doors too wide.
No joke before I saw this video my first car that I bought 3 weeks ago looked Pretty ugly if I do say so myself but now it looks amazing thank you so so much

I'll look into it at least!
I turned my corsa into tuna. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve been waiting sooo long for this😍😍

Good vid bro but gotta love Jesse's Corsa SRI 👌
Nice video bro. I'll consider all of theese when i get my first car
Solid stuff!
U have to put angry headlights on your car
I hate "Debading" so much
When I see a car with no Badge im could rage 😂
id go over the grey trim parts with a gloss black to match the roof, thats my plan for the lockdown soon. also, corsa splitters can be fitted onto the front of these
Mine too - as getting the paint sorted tomorrow!
shots fired :D anybody else watch jesse on youtube ?
Haha no disrespect to Jesse, he does great vids - his video was just on Creative Commons!
For me it's brake upgrade, suspension and wheels/tyres
All covered in the follow up to this one, as they're a tad more than 20 quid!
I also own a turbo susuki swift sport pushing 300hp nice old ride
Very decent!
Bro great vid. I enjoyed visual clips of other cars with the mods.
that tuna sandwich had me dead 😭😭

I love the video but the trim painting gives me chills. Rather put more lighter coats than one thicc
are u able to do a video on cheaps convertible car for young drivers
I can definitely have a look - I'll add it to my list!
I love your count down
While using spray paint, spray from roughly 30cm away for a better finish
My "thing" is ripping off the exaust and welding on a side pipe or something, putting in yellow lamps for headlights is a must, and ill happily roll the entire car matte-black for that yummy drugdealer-shitbox look
5:38 I’m 101% sure that it’s not a VXR
Haha no it's an SRI!
Vxd
It says VxD
Looks legit to me
it says vxD, which people put on like diesel vectras stands for vauxhall diesel
Legend.
Why the trims? The real function is for firefighters to have a reference in case they need to cut the bodywork, this aligns with the seats
EXCELLENT! Passed on to son.
Glad you think so, hope it helps!

Im saving this video to watch in 1 year when i turn 18
Best mod. Dont buy a shite car to modify. Work hard and buy a nice car in the first place.
Just because the car is nice doesn't mean the will to modify it will go away haha
Do u think u could make a video on how to deep clean the car remove watever can be removed to clean etc
anyone know if you have to declare the interior vinyl wrap to insurance?

Nice video man
Got a few nice ideas from this video, cheers
I lost it at the tuna part lmao
The trim things are for protection of your car I think, so when someone opens their door it hits the trim part not the actual car
So I did think this might be the reason, but they're not on the furthest extremity of the doors, so they don't actually hit anything!
Good .prefer if u did light changes also
7:04 sorry mate but i can't agree with you
It's very much an each to their own thing! Remember Rolls Royce is owned by BMW anyway🤷🏽♂️
I have to agree with him, I LOVE the BMW look outside but stepping inside the interior always looks dated.
the paint tin costs a lot in your area..
Here in Qatar it costs 5 riyals which is only 1 pound
good good job , mate . cheers .
How about metal pressed plates to get rid of those horrific rust stains on yours? 🙄 Cheap and look ace! 😎
I will get some sooner of later, it's been on my to-do list for a long time!
Cars With JB eBay my friend. Will truly set the car off!
Changing the rust stained number plate and rusty screws would be good
Will come soon - thinking about getting a private plate so want to do both at once to save time
