In this video we tackle the dull look of the #volkswagen mk8 #golfr #salvage project which we have spent the last few videos repairing but before I finally hit the road in it I want to make sure the car looks at least a little bit better!

Completely understand when you say its not an exciting car to drive. I had the same when i got a Mk3 Focus RS. It was just too good at everything and it didn't demand much from the driver. I went back to an Integra DC5 and never looked back! Love the build Chris, keep up the good work

Great channel Chris Slix, you should definitely do your Lamborghini build, as that’s for yourself , plus it’ll make great content for the channel. That said there are probably a lot of us watch your channel for your man in the street builds and the improvements 😂

@WogsRus1 11 месяцев назад

Your take on the golf r is the exact reason I went for an i30N. Don't get me wrong, the golf r is much quicker, but it is about as dull as a butter knife. The i30N feel special everytime I drive it.

@Chris_Slix 11 месяцев назад

The i30n is a great car out the box truly under rated

Decaf ppf removal and a remap, there’s ur performance car (x7 🤣) and some wheel spacers 😍 great build 👏

@jameslycett2056 11 месяцев назад

Hey Chris, if you didn't want the expense of a full exhaust you could fit a res delete pipe, you should get a lot of crackles/burbles then.

@gunner4lifeng 11 месяцев назад

You need to move esc into quick access menu and anything else you want in there . First thing I did to mine before any mods is go through all settings.

@Chris_Slix 11 месяцев назад

Please tell me how to do this 😂 its a nightmare

@gunner4lifeng 11 месяцев назад

@Chris_Slix go to the menu screen and press and hold esc then it should let you move it to the quick option menu .

@malcolmbennett3907 11 месяцев назад

Great vid ! Your comments on driving the R are exactly the same as my thoughts. Bought one last year with pan roof, leather,DSG, ACC, DCC etc etc. Lovely car but as you say it lacks drama. Had it mapped making it bl@@dy quick but still doesn't feel like an edgy sports hatchback. Thinking about swapping to a manual Clubsport for a bit more excitement.😁

@porterracing8396 11 месяцев назад

The loose rad could have that been apart of the recall for the rad supports ? I have had a 22 gti that it happen twice and then I went to a 22 R and I would only drive in race it in race mode if your looking for the pops and bangs in the others modes they feel muted. Next would be exhaust and springs if I had to guess.
