The difference between the front view of the car is so big. It looks so much bigger and sportive! Hope to finish university soon to finally get the ST. At the moment I just could afford the Kit 🤣. Great video!
You gave to put a bigger wing of some sorts on this car Jonny. It's already looking bonkers but with a bigger wing, and now with the mud flips, it will look like a proper rally car. I'm so proud of what this car has become. :x GJ!
Someone's spending some money ready for ford fair 😁. A big fan of the trc splitter not a fan of the spats though all personal preference though nice video mate as always editing on point.
Leo Fairclough Thanks mate. It was meant to be 5/6 videos in 5/6 days but the motherboard on my laptop has gone kaput so that may not happen. Still, you know there is another 2-3 videos to come in this series ;)
JB CTR it’s so rush bro, quality over quantity anyway!! I’m glad to hear there more videos tho come, more mk8 st videos in the future as well please ;)
Either you were knackered from days of filming, editing and fitting things or you came across a bit underwhelmed by then end! Kit looks really good, but being a bit OCD i would either want it all ‘texture/satin’ effect like OEM or all gloss black. You live around Silsoe area btw?
ad182uk Not near me, no! And I gotta be honest, I was quite tired! That said, it’s definitely one of those mods which looks okay as you fit it. Then you walk away from the car and only when you come back to it do you get the wow factor. It really does look awesome!
Was waiting for this video. You came across the same issue as me, took a good couple of hours and a lot of thinking to get the the front splitter to fit, eventually managed to use the nuts and bolts but jeez it wasn’ easy! Strange thing was everyone else said it was!? The sides were easy enough and just screwed the back ones on. With it lowered do you not think you’’ll have issues with speed humps? oh and they’ll never be that clean again.
Not had any issues with speed bumps yet (thankfully!) It seems to be holding up well. Hit 120 on track yesterday and they didn’t come off, so must be on okay 🤷🏼♀️🤣
Pretty easy. Pull it off and apply some glue remover and you should be golden. Rivets are doing a stirling job! I've not hit the splitter on anything thought to really test them.
These maxton add ons are just about passable on black and grey cars. On any other colour car it literally looks like the car has been driven through halfords covered in superglue.
I want to buy the ST in the same Color. Now, I have some questions to you: - is you car lowered ? when yes, how much ? - what wheel size is that ? 17 or 18 Inch. - did you mount wheel spacers ? Thanks for your answers...
Heinz Hans Hi mate, yes the car is lowered by 20mm, on 18 inch wheels and it has 20mm spacers. I have done installation videos on all of these modifications, so you can see how they are done :)
a question friend, the maxton spoiler holds up well only with the double-sided adhesive that we already find on ?? or is there a risk of losing it on the street? 🤣🤣
Is this the trc v3 splitter? How big is the center gap? Looks like a couple of plastic washers/ spacers would allow for a couple of centre fixings just to be sure!
Lowridah51 Hi mate, they come ready applied so I’m not sure. Perhaps with a little heat and patience, they’d come off but you’d risk damaging your new splitters and skirts :)
baldrick650 Surprisingly, I’ve had no issues yet and I’ve been over a broad selection of speed bumps 🤣 granted, I’ve been going super slow, but all good. Car is only lowered by 20mm
If the ST Line headlights are LED's then I imagine they'll be a straight swap. If you have the halogen clusters then it may be possible but expensive. The LED headlights have sensors on both front and rear axles for leveling which will need to be retrofitted in order to make the LED's work.
Not sure if it will. The bumper will fit though, if you are happy to swap them over. If you have adaptive cruise, you may not be able to swap the lower grill (has the radar in it). Also, not sure if the adaptive cruise lower grill would fit the ST bumper. Hope that helps!
Anybody following this get the riv nuts. Potentially at higher speeds the rivets could pull out and loose your splitter under the car an maybe hit the car behind. You have been warned 😂
Nicholas Fattorini Not quite! It’s the mighty Kia. Or ‘Britain’s Best Budget Sports Car’ 🤣 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1JMWMNAK-YY.html
