Definitely worth doing!

Been meaning to do this for over three years, so thanks for the reminder, Mati! Haha

@billyboland2391 2 года назад

Mati, the part that you don't want paint, to keep rust at bay cover that area with "coppaslip" this will keep any rust at bay, and you still have what you wanted.

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

bought some for the A3 this week so will get the wheels back off and coat them up! cheers

@AllanFarrell 2 года назад

That paint will flake off eventually as the hub gets warm. You would have been better using VHT (very high temperature) paint in a rattle can. 👍

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

only thing with rattle cans is that I have to mask off the entire world to ensure I dont get any over spray haha

@BrateTebra123 2 года назад

Interesting idea. My 2019 Polo already have the drums on black from factory

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

I wish this did too!

@geniusme2010 2 года назад

Have you ever thought of getting rid of the bog vw caps on the wheels and add smaller centre ones

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

These wheels are long gone mate! Check the recent videos 👀

@NiceGuyAidey Год назад

Where are you resting the trolley jack on there mate?

@petetrundell5454 2 года назад

I few mins into your vid I was holding my breath thinking “please don’t paint them red, please don’t, please”. Phew! Oh, and Top Tip; don’t be tempted to paint your front discs to match.🤪

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Yeah red certainly wasn’t on the agenda this time 😂 Wish you had told me not to do the discs before, all the paint rubbed off them straight away 👀 haha

@Roybatty443 2 года назад

Why did you have to replace the rear drums? Had my up gti exactly a year now from new and no sign of rust yet thankfully. Good video. Definitely prefer the black finish

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

They were getting properly stuck on when the handbrake was released, replaced drums and pads and that seems to have sorted it! This is 3 years old mind but the drums were very rusty before replacing!

@Erniebus 2 года назад

Drum issues on the up and standard polo are quite common they regularly need to be stripped and cleaned. Aftermarket shoes are actually meant to be better

@derekallan6231 2 года назад

Done my ups drums red almost as soon as got it my gti is now on abarth scorpion claws just to be different

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

They the same fitment?

@derekallan6231 2 года назад

@@matimcfetridge yes 4x100 centre bore slightly tighter I light sand with flap wheel sorted that

@deejayalen1 2 года назад

Where did you get wind deflectors? Sorry on my English

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Place called eurocarparts in the UK

@finhouston7500 2 года назад

Which wiper delete kit did you use i cant find it on kill all wipers

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Believe a lot on the VW ones are the same, send then a message on Instagram and they will sort you out :)

@dalepinney5001 2 года назад

phew !!! I was worried you were going to paint them red and not black

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

haha a few people have said that!

@leslieglover5336 2 года назад

Makes you wonder why Volkswagen don't pick this eyesore up.

@ivosilva5302 2 года назад

what is the torque for the wheel nuts?

@nigelbaldwin752 2 года назад

110 Nm I believe, although many garages overtighten, always move wheel on ground and re check.

@kristianspencer1978 2 года назад

Why the f-ck has a modern day gti got drums on the rear, even normal modern cars have discs all round, haven’t things advanced since the mk1 golf gti that this car is supposed to be emulating.?

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

I was thinking the same thing to be totally honest, but I must say that its by no means under-brakes, in-fact the brakes are pretty good!

@mclovin583 2 года назад

Why not red??

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Just not for me, black blends in nicely!

@christopherbruchez8040 3 месяца назад

Get a bit of acf50 on those mounting faces mate, really good stuff….. used on aircraft & motorcycles to stop galvanic corrosion.

@lollypop9580 2 года назад

40 sec introduction ? Bro WTF ? 😁

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Makes me happy to see how far the cars have come every single time I watch it 👍🏼

@TheKevzx6r 2 года назад

Main thing is you’re happy with the car. I’m my opinion you’d be better off with a fabia has discs all round and dsg. Why the fuck that’s not standard with discs is a disgrace!

@matimcfetridge 2 года назад

Dsg is not for me in a car like this, manual all the way! Agree with the discs though, but to be fair if you drove it you wouldn’t know it was on drums, stops well enough!
