Looks great. Need a really subtle front splitter that won’t get ripped off! I think it would be a good idea to paint half the spoiler like you said. Top stuff :)
The main thing is that you like it. I also thought it looked too subtle, and I love how the lowering turned out. The wing also looks pretty good. I just can't get myself to like that Maxton stuff that almost everyone does on every car. To me, their parts look tagged on and not in line with any vehicle's design.
In my all honesty, this guy will never fade on TH-cam if he keeps on pushing such content. Very unique and on his own lane and the good thing about this channe, is that we can somewhat relate to these cars ourselves. l
That was quick! Car looks completely different and much more in line with a performance pack car also. Interested to see what you get up to next with the 8R 👍
Great Work all around. Rye certainly knows his stuff / done three of my cars previously. Good to meet you earlier in the week at MCR . Keep up the good work 👍🏽
Thanks for another great video Hamza. The more aggressive roof spoiler & new wheels have the biggest impact & really transform the look of the car. These two mods, together with the amazing paint finish achieved by the detailers makes the car a real looker now! Keep up the good work & I'm already looking forward to the next instalment
Looks mint mate! Gutted about the front splitter though. Looking forward to future content. Just makes me realise I really need to get my car fully detailed!
IMO the front and rear look really nice and suits the car👏I’m unsure about the side skirts though. You have transformed it and I really enjoy watching your videos. You are one of my favourites on TH-cam
Looking much better, making me wanna mod my GTI after saying leave it stock. Watched for some time really like your style of content look forward to to this build progress.
Hamza listen, like what the hell, how can every single mod done here look freaking incredible on the car. The wheels look absolutely stunning, the spoiler is literally fire and the lip is just... what it should've been like from the factory. Love the project man. Can't wait for you to tune it a bit and have a proper exhaust on this! Keep it up bro
Ngl golf R I was a bit meh, but now Omg!! This is how they should be! Love the length of these vids! Content always 🔥 bro! Much love from ‘Northern Ireland’🤘
Always enjoying your content.....this build reminds me of all your golf builds especially the 200k mk5 gti project car... THAT WAS A BEAST!!! Mashallah keep it up my bro
The content is amazing, also want to shout out for the shop! Not sure is he the boss at the shop, but his professionalism, explanation and patience is 💯. If i live near this would be my shop
Wow - love the videos of this car. I have an Arteon R - stock at the moment but wasn't aware the ECU was able to be accessed yet. If you can on a MK8 Golf, then you can on the Arteon. Great work and the car detailing at the end is spot on.
Hey really like your videos and I have actually just got my brand new golf R Mk8 20 edition. I wanted to lower it a little bit (20mm) but don’t want to loose any of the functionalities or performance of the adaptive dampers. I want it to still be comfortable as it is my daily driver and not loose performance when needed. Are you happy with the MSS springs?
Love these vids man, it looks clean! Stay tuning this beast. Ur review on the Cupra 290 helped me too choose to buy one :) Greetings from the Netherlands.
Wow😍 what a transformation with those mods!! Looks unreal🔥😈, was genuinely gutted about the front splitter though😭, the detailing was the icing on the cake for me what a stunning colour lapaz blue is once it’s properly washed and polished👊🏼, sick video hamza keep smashing it bro💯
Wow bro the improvement in the looks was way bigger than I imagined as the video went along. Looks absolutely mega now. If only VW made them more aggressive from factory! I think they’d sell far more. I’ve always felt the MK8 looks too soft but what you’ve done has completely got rid of that. Top top job!
Subscribing to your channel bro. Don’t even know much about cars but always love to learn. Very informative, satisfying and straight forward. Loved the way the R ended up turning out, definitely will tune in for more vids brother Hamza! Salam from Australia.
Hi mate! I'm planning buy golf 8, but I'm worry little bit because so many people saying about software issues. What do you think? Some people suggest buy newest as possible, because older(well, ver. 8 not so old lol) but let say about 2022? I though about Life or Active version. Any thoughs? Greetings, Tom.
Awesome video Hamza, who'd of thought you could make a new car look better, you just did, one of my favourite colours also , those wheels are the icing on the cake , my golf will never look this good , it will be ok
What is your advise on spending so much on a performance car vs use?. Do you try and keep mileage down so you can sell it on later for best price. A lot a people have a daily as well for this reason? Great vids 👍
Wow, what a transformation with just those 5 mods. Car looks Amazing!!! The wheels, spoiler addon and side skirts dress it up very nice. Will you be adding a different front splitter later or hold off for now?
I was only thinking this morning a Mk7.5 r would be the most modern golf I'd go for. Then you post this 😂 incredible transformation, looks great. Just the infotainment issues I'd have to see past 👌
Are you able to actually adjust the front spring without dropping the strut from the car? This was an oversight on a different brand of adjustable springs.
Me and my pops took the whole strut and hub assembly out took us an hour all 4 sides. Accidentally broke a headlight sensor in the back. JB weld it back together all good.
looks mint Ham, love watching your channel, my S3 going back in feb to be replaced by mk8 R320 so good to see what your doing to yours, couldn't believe you switched from Audi to vw, was a hard choice for me as I always thought Audi's just had more class but the mk8 R pisses all over the new S3
Not sure how I feel about the 18's, think 19's and low profile tyres would have looked better but i understand the ride wouldnt have been half as nice. Looks great nonetheless
have you had the new golf r problem with the audi system only working in the middle speakers ? or any other faults with the car because not a lot of people are talking about it
Looks lovely. Really changed my opinion on the MK8. The only thing I don’t like on the Mk8 golf is the light bar across the front. Otherwise lovely looking motor!
Top video as always buddy. Currently in my 19th month waiting for my spec’d GTI Clubsport. Maxton and Eventuri parts in the garage waiting so can’t wait for your Stage 1 tuning vid 👍
very nice transformation! Would prefer 19" tho, but still agressive. Cant really understand how 8J wheels with ET40 look totaly flush with fenders on a golf, and your 9J with same offset dont rub anywhere?!?
Hamza the mk8 looks even better! How do you like the mss springs? I’ve been highly considering the sports for my usa model mk7.5 R. I was glad you picked one of these up
Looks so much better , shame about the splitter that really finished the look and wasn't too aggressive, definitely needs another one to balance to look , boot spoiler looks great 👍
I have an 8 R. I'm dead careful when I drive over speed humps - and the car is stock I just measured and the bottom of the front bumper is 17cm from the ground Dropping the ride height and fitting a splitter was always likely to result in tears.
Great video Hamza. The wing for me was the biggest improvement. Sad to see the front spoiler so short lived. In your next video, can you please comment on the ride quality with the new springs ? Does it make the ride more bumpy ?
Much prefer how it looks now!
Does yours have the DCC? if so how does it feel after the aftermarket springs?
Looks great. Need a really subtle front splitter that won’t get ripped off!
I think it would be a good idea to paint half the spoiler like you said.
Top stuff :)
The main thing is that you like it. I also thought it looked too subtle, and I love how the lowering turned out. The wing also looks pretty good. I just can't get myself to like that Maxton stuff that almost everyone does on every car. To me, their parts look tagged on and not in line with any vehicle's design.
Looks really good now! Now to fix the interior somehow!!! The touchscreen is crap
Looks good however i feel like the wheel look a tiny bit to small
In my all honesty, this guy will never fade on TH-cam if he keeps on pushing such content. Very unique and on his own lane and the good thing about this channe, is that we can somewhat relate to these cars ourselves. l
Thank you 🙌🏼
Totally agree man Hamza grinds hard!
Shame the front splitter didn't last, it transformed the front more than I expected! Ride height is spot on. Very decent car bro!
The wheels and the boot spoiler were the two big ones for me, what a massive improvement they made. Nice work bro, keep it up👊🏽👊🏽
Thank you bro 👊🏼 Agreed it just sharpened the car right up!
it’s always a good time when Hamza uploads👌
🙌🏼🙌🏼
That was quick! Car looks completely different and much more in line with a performance pack car also. Interested to see what you get up to next with the 8R 👍

Looks mint mate! Gutted about the front splitter though. Looking forward to future content. Just makes me realise I really need to get my car fully detailed!
definitely transformed the look of the car! I like it even more now! Midland Car Care did an amazing job!
What an improvement bro! Looks awesome! Nice one for going for the "slightly" more subtle kit ;)
IMO the front and rear look really nice and suits the car👏I’m unsure about the side skirts though. You have transformed it and I really enjoy watching your videos. You are one of my favourites on TH-cam
Wow, what a transformation! And thank you for doing a range of mods during one video, super happy for you 👍😁👌
Cheers mate 😁
yes my lad, underrated guy, smashing it yara
Thank you bro 👊🏼
Looking much better, making me wanna mod my GTI after saying leave it stock. Watched for some time really like your style of content look forward to to this build progress.
Thank you! A few subtle mods to the GTI would look amazing
Hamza listen, like what the hell, how can every single mod done here look freaking incredible on the car. The wheels look absolutely stunning, the spoiler is literally fire and the lip is just... what it should've been like from the factory. Love the project man. Can't wait for you to tune it a bit and have a proper exhaust on this! Keep it up bro
Haha glad you liked it bro! Thank you 🙌🏼
Damn the splitter changes the whole front end from soft to aggressive! Another great video Hamza!
Ngl golf R I was a bit meh, but now Omg!! This is how they should be! Love the length of these vids! Content always 🔥 bro! Much love from ‘Northern Ireland’🤘
Nice transformation 👌🏽, enjoying this content, keep it coming
Always enjoying your content.....this build reminds me of all your golf builds especially the 200k mk5 gti project car... THAT WAS A BEAST!!! Mashallah keep it up my bro
Always have to have a few mods, lots of surport from South Africa brother 👌💪💥🔥
The content is amazing, also want to shout out for the shop! Not sure is he the boss at the shop, but his professionalism, explanation and patience is 💯. If i live near this would be my shop
I saw you yesterday fly past on the dual carriage way!
Car looked sick bro and seeing it made my day!
Wow - love the videos of this car. I have an Arteon R - stock at the moment but wasn't aware the ECU was able to be accessed yet. If you can on a MK8 Golf, then you can on the Arteon. Great work and the car detailing at the end is spot on.
There was so much content in one video, you're the man! Amazing results on that beaut👏 🔥 I definitely enjoyed the video

Love your vids mate. Your style of commentary over the footage is almost relaxing 😂
Quality video Hamza! Been following since KSV days and the content is always 👌🏻
Legend! Thanks for the continued support mate 🙌🏼
Wow😍 what a transformation with those mods!! Looks unreal🔥😈, was genuinely gutted about the front splitter though😭, the detailing was the icing on the cake for me what a stunning colour lapaz blue is once it’s properly washed and polished👊🏼, sick video hamza keep smashing it bro💯

Wsalaam brother - Thank you for the kind words! 👍🏼
Absolutely great video, beautiful mods, giving me some ideas for my own MK8... Keep up the good work!

MASHAALLAH looks good man smashed it again I’m glad you got an R on the channel
Nice work hamza, black wheels really suit lapis blue and the gloss black boot spoiler adds a bit of much needed character 👌😎
Keep it up my boy, you are going a long way if you continue on this path
Brilliant video. Such a good watch, keep them coming. 😊
Hi, love your content, would love to know which lift /jack that you using. Is it portable?
Ok so confirmed I need the autoid rear spoiler on mine and you need to reorder that front splitter cos it looks perfect!
Thanks for the vid 🔥🙌🏼
Is yours stock for those pops and bangs? Mine isn’t as aggressive I’ve got the 24 mk8 r in Australia highest spec too
Wow converted me to a mk8. Looks stunning 😍
Haha glad to hear! They just need a few little touches to look right 🙌🏼
Proper smart that is now, one of the best I’ve seen
One of the best TH-cam channels out there
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow, what a transformation with just those 5 mods. Car looks Amazing!!! The wheels, spoiler addon and side skirts dress it up very nice. Will you be adding a different front splitter later or hold off for now?

looks incredible now
That spoiler is a game changer! 😍
i prefer michelin pilot sports also did you torque your wheels when you lowered it of the jack ?
Those lifts are so useful I hope one day I can get my hands on one 😍
Me and my pops took the whole strut and hub assembly out took us an hour all 4 sides. Accidentally broke a headlight sensor in the back. JB weld it back together all good.
Forgive me if you’ve told us in the video but what alloys are they that you’ve replaced the stock ones with? They look sick!
So, when are you gonna change out the entire haptic feedback non backlit sub-par infotainmentsystem and steering wheel?
Great content as always,
Where did you purchase the car ramps from please?
looks mint Ham, love watching your channel, my S3 going back in feb to be replaced by mk8 R320 so good to see what your doing to yours, couldn't believe you switched from Audi to vw, was a hard choice for me as I always thought Audi's just had more class but the mk8 R pisses all over the new S3
Not sure how I feel about the 18's, think 19's and low profile tyres would have looked better but i understand the ride wouldnt have been half as nice. Looks great nonetheless
Looks awesome 👍 shame the front splitter bit the dust but on a whole the Golf looks 😍
🤝Hamza seem like a kool & humble guy 4real always publish good entertaining content & this golf looking sick with lip ect😎👍
laughed so hard at how fast the splitter was gone, the way it cuts into it destroyed was too funny mate
Hi mate, great vid thanks. Could you let me know what the wheels are and where you can get a set? Cheers 😀
have you had the new golf r problem with the audi system only working in the middle speakers ? or any other faults with the car because not a lot of people are talking about it
Looks lovely. Really changed my opinion on the MK8. The only thing I don’t like on the Mk8 golf is the light bar across the front. Otherwise lovely looking motor!

Can’t wait for the stage 1 video 🙏
very nice transformation! Would prefer 19" tho, but still agressive. Cant really understand how 8J wheels with ET40 look totaly flush with fenders on a golf, and your 9J with same offset dont rub anywhere?!?
hello from istanbul! great content mate. just got mine last week same color, performance pack. totally in love with it
Mk8 R is growing on me...looking forward to this build
Hamza the mk8 looks even better! How do you like the mss springs? I’ve been highly considering the sports for my usa model mk7.5 R. I was glad you picked one of these up
These Mk8 videos are tempting me to sell my beloved stage 3 Mk7 and get a Mk8
Car looks awesome. Great video.
What's the plans for the Audi RS3
Class as always h, I'm starting to like the 8 more now (currently a mk7 owner)
Beautiful R
Looks so much better , shame about the splitter that really finished the look and wasn't too aggressive, definitely needs another one to balance to look , boot spoiler looks great 👍
I have an 8 R. I'm dead careful when I drive over speed humps - and the car is stock
I just measured and the bottom of the front bumper is 17cm from the ground
Dropping the ride height and fitting a splitter was always likely to result in tears.
❤❤ Really looks good such a beautiful a car. I like this transformation what kind of rims is that ?
Another cool video. If I'm being honest, I preferred the oem look but it's still an awesome looking thing. Need to upgrade to one now...
TR Hamza is the best man, quality content 💯
Does changing the springs affect the ride quality?
Absolutely love the look good job. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks😊😊
Looks unreal. Defo think some 4" black quad tips would suit the rear much better
At the risk of being banned
I really,really,really like the standard wheels,obviously with I lowered,but still the oem wheels👍
Looks mega!
I got mine Saturday, absolutely love it!
Congrats man!
Absolutely smashing it mate. Love the content!
I been waiting for this all week kusme and it was well worth the wait!! Looks sick now MashAllah!!
Great mods, made huge differences aesthetically.
Would you mind linking the jack you used to add the splitter please? Looks like something I need in my garage.
Great video Hamza. The wing for me was the biggest improvement. Sad to see the front spoiler so short lived.
In your next video, can you please comment on the ride quality with the new springs ? Does it make the ride more bumpy ?
Yes driving impressions with springs will be teamed together with Stage 1 tune impressions 👍🏼
That looks 10X better😱
Get the oem black tail lights! About £500 from VW parts department in dealerships. They look amazing
are you thinking of putting wind deflectors on
Great job, looks so much better with the new wheels and springs.
Prefer the look of the MK8 R over the MK7.
Looks sick bro all u need is the rear light bar from gte !!!
So Fresh and So Clean 😍
Looking more like a 7.5r now, unreal., Keep up the content bro. Some country road POVs??
I’ll like the MK8 Golf R when I get mine!
Nice vid. Do you have a link to the spoiler?
Is it just me that is seeing MK6 front end vibes with the MK8? Massive compliment to it tbh.
RIP front splitter. Looks insane now. Black and blue combo 👌🏻
