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!
@@Cars_of_gloucester 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
@@Cars_of_gloucester 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.
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
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.
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.
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 :)
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 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
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.
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
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
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 🤩
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
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. 🇬🇧
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
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
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!
They will come haha, it's been on my to-do list for ages and haven't got to it - thinking of getting a private plate which is partly why I've been so slow with it!
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
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!
Watching you paint the emblems hurt my soul. Please use light coats, just more of them. Coats that heavy will cause drips and uneven coating. Be patient and it will turnout x100 better
3:45 they are contour lines them make you look around the car becuase you follow them that’s why sports cars have sharp edges so you look around the car and also why’s there is indents in the bonnet and in some cases Roofs
Cars With JB there obvious on quite most cars like the golf and caddy’s it’s the cheaper version of super cars and it provides cussioning if there was a collision. Or something
Hi guys, so somebody smashed into the back of my suzuki swift the other day and my car has been written off it was my first car, im now looking at something else and wondering if anyone has any ideas. It has to be decent on insurance so below insurance group 20, but also be sub 10 seconds 0-60 im looking at the 1.4 golf tsi and cars similar to it my budget is under 3,500 any help is appreciated. JB help me out
Cars With JB yeh cheers man and ive set my reminder will be watching is as soon as its up ! Thanks for the research you do so we can just watch and get ideas in minutes
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
yes, everything that isn't factory will mean if you don't tell your insurer and have a crunch and want to make claim your insurance will be null and void, (this includes stickers, head units, alloys etc) it also makes the car more ''desirable'' and more likely to get stolen. and putting better brakes and suspension means that your more likely to drive fast. That's what they will say anyway. even if you have car a park ding and the insurer takes a look and says ''you have a nurburgring sticker. Do you go to track days? INSURANCE VOID.'' It really sucks, and they would pay a lawyer tens of thousands to save a five hundred quid pay out for the damages. so don't tell them and expect nothing for your car in the case of an accident.

The expensive ones
@@Cars_of_gloucester the only expensive one on that list is the wheels

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!

Don't forget to match that with a quadruple diffuser
naw dude at least a v12

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
I bought a polo but the lighter charger thingy is broke... i want to use it to charge my phone... but its broke :(
ItsLukeeyy is the fuse gone?
Cars 'N' Racing it might be i checked the fuse box and i think its gone? What do i do
Can get a replacement fuse relatively easy, just work out what one you need!

This red Miata is so sleek, huge fan of the all round lights
Black wheels, calipers, a color that jumps in the eye, red, that would contrast with the taillights, or yellow/green
If you live in the US the license plate relocation is a cool easy mod that can look good
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
That “dead trim it’s normally put at the hight where most scratches from opening a door and tapping a flat surface
I'd say window tint, taillight smoke, and painting your callipers.
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
Could you do a video on the best performing cars for around 25-50 k
I can have a look!

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.
Do these need to be declared to insurance as I don’t want to have insurance invalidated by these?
