This is what makes Matt different. Most other you tubers would have a whole video on getting the wheels done, one for the windscreen, one for the headlights etc... Matt don’t chat shit and just gets on with it! 👊
@@QuavyQua Thats such a lame excuse.RWD cars have done drag races for years. It's not the launch....its the delay from the light going green to hearing the car rev and move. The driver was asleep or has seriously slow reactions.
@@doublearon3692 yes, the weight has nothing to do with reaction time. You see the go signal and the other car accelerates off ...it takes a lot longer for aston driver to react and then you see the wheels begin to turn. It's obvious poor driver reaction time did not help in that race.. ..
Really loving the Golf R in green......the colour really suits the car! IMHO, Golf Rs are underrated. I had a Mk 5 R32 around 12 years ago. Granted, the 3.6 L V6 engine is totally different to the 2.0L engines of today, but when I had an ABT supercharger kit fitted to the car, it was properly rapid! Keep up the great work & your positive, 'can do' attitude!
The golf looks so sick! There’s one more modification you need to do (if you haven’t sold the car that is), is to remove the rev limiter while stationary. It’s a must!
I never would have repaired such damaged wheels. i guess they didnt xray them to see if there are micro cracks... the car does 250km/h, i wouldnt trust it! cant be to expensive to get some new rims in comparison to the hours that went into repairing the rims.
Those weels wont hold btw. No bmw weel that has been welded will hold its a rull specially with run flat. I basicly only deal with BMW's ...both normal cars and drift projects. Those whells will crack eventually.
Especially considering that you can pick one up for about £13k these days, and with about £7k in mods you can have a car that can really give supercars a run for their money.
@@yurilopes420 i actually have a mk7 gti from 2016 in manual, making it with stage 1 up to 300hp, lookikg for stage 2 and stage 2+ soon tho, but it costs a bit of money :(
Mat, your skill on cars seems to be equally as epic as your editing skills It just gets better and better every week. I'm just glad I'm already subscribed.
Carly is pretty decent. I've got a 2007 BMW 1 series and unfortunately can't do too much with it but as for keeping it in the car for checking faults and such its great. Also allowed me to enable a digital speedometer which is a LIFE SAVER!
Those BMW alloys look fresh af! Since you got a BMW, I thought it would only be a matter of time before you got a Carly sponsorship. Pretty sure your Golf beat the McLaren away from the line, even though your lead lasted for about 10 metres tops! You can console yourself with how many Golf Rs you could buy for the price of one McLaren 720S though. Are you going for a nitrous kit in the next video? It does seem like you're trying to turn your Golf into the ultimate example of one, performance-wise! (It looks pretty damn good in that wrap with those alloys, too!)
4wd Golf with Stage 2 map will devour most cars with only rear wheel drive. A stock hot Golf with 4wd will run most cars close... Modern day electronics against something like the Aston's 10 year old electronics and manual box will never stand up to modern stuff. Yes I know the GT8 version is younger than 10 years old but the basic car underneath it was launched in 2005. It doesn't have launch control like the McLaren or BMW so it never stood a chance. That Golf was faster than the Gallardo and that has 4wd but no launch etc. You've done a great job with the Golf, it's a great looking car with that green wrap, the tasteful wheels and additional body parts.
Regarding the headlight do we need it to be connected to the front sensors to get it programmed? Or it has nothing to do with them please advise if u have any info about that. Coz i got new headlights and controllers but no front sensors yet
Absolutely love your energy matt, I've said it before but it's infectious and I wish I could bring that level to my vids. Golf looks sick in that green too 💚
Lol 😂 so funny 🤣 this is what I look like after buying the headlights 😳.. but on a positive side bro you right the wheels definitely make it look all complete..and the golf r is fast 💨 as f great video as always.
With that Carly can you change the headlight voltage? So if i was changing my pre LCI to LCI M4 LED lights i'd need a voltage change. Can Carly do this?
Love the video, was looking into the OBD plug in, but The 15% off code for Carly doesn't work 😔 was it only for a limited time, or is there an issue with it?
I am confused. Wasn't Dodge Demon at this time supposed to be the fastest production car with ridiculous 0-60 times? I get that the Golf is tuned, but anyway. I am not the car guy, can someone explain me?

@theotherstuff
Appreciate you notice the efforts! This video took nearly a week to film and arrange and it’s just over 11mins of footage 😂
@@ihtisamtariq6696 fucking facts
truth, makes it nice easy watching and just following his journey. its great
The golf r is a weapon🚀 looks sick in the green and gloss black😎 top job fella
Do they come manual?
I wanna get one so badly damnnn
@@great4ever845 they do come in manual.
In English Gareth. Why does it look poorly in green? I think it looks nice
@@potta061 he’s saying it looks good in green
Petition for Mat Armstrong to do a collab with Matt Watson from Carwow. That’d be sick tho
Mat Armstrong is Leicester City. Matt Watson is Rushall Olympic. No comparison.
@@shieldaigbencher what has location got to do with it?
@@AbidStream you dumb or what? he compared football teams not locations
@@jakubigrek8148 still got absolutely no relevance muppet
Then he become yet another TH-cam car reviewer.... don’t bother Matt
the green looks so sick!!
Just what I needed this week! My weekly dose of Golf R!
I bought Carly. TBF it's pretty pants. Doesn't do half the stuff it claims. I would however recommend this channel as Matt A is a BOSS.
The fact that a Volkswagen is even being mentioned in the same breath as demon and m2 and BEATING them it’s just nuts.
9:34 just when we thought that we won't see another car in such a beautiful green.
The alfa romeo quadrifolio😍beautiful car ,even prettier in that green
Never really been a fan of Golfs, but if Matt puts it up for a competition then I am buying tickets! Absolute Green Machine !
Golf's are the best Costumisable cars there are, make your car as you prefer
Whoever was driving that Aston....embarrassing how slow the reaction off the line was !...Good video Matt
Can’t really floor it off the line in a rwd car in a drag.
@@QuavyQua Thats such a lame excuse.RWD cars have done drag races for years. It's not the launch....its the delay from the light going green to hearing the car rev and move. The driver was asleep or has seriously slow reactions.
It’s also a lot heavier of a car as well.

Omg.... Those BMW wheels..... Absolutely stunning!!! Amazing work. Wow. ❤️😎
It's actually unbelievable what they can repair alloy wheel wise 😮

I was wondering if it could beat a hellcat but then you messed around and beat a demon , damn
Love or hate the Golf R, it demands respect for its ability at the price you pay.
Especially considering that you can pick one up for about £13k these days, and with about £7k in mods you can have a car that can really give supercars a run for their money.
idk who could hate the golf, been one of my top 3 dream cars ever since i knew cars existed
@@yurilopes420 i actually have a mk7 gti from 2016 in manual, making it with stage 1 up to 300hp, lookikg for stage 2 and stage 2+ soon tho, but it costs a bit of money :(
Sound test at 8:06. My goodness 🥺 🔥
Race Ricky when the twin turbo build is complete on the Lambo!
Ricky will just bring his 1889bhp gtr 🙈🙈
Should be illegal having missed matched tyres, gives me anxiety 😭 but looks super sick
6.03 I was like, isn't that illegal while driving 🤣💨💨
So glad you did Green and kept a bit of black too, Great video chap. 👍
251 videos and 225 subscribers congratulations mat!!! Loving the videos man 🙌
Yet again another brilliant video, love it!! The Beemers looking real sick!!! Well done, keep them coming Mat.
The golf has come such a long way from when it dropped on the channel well done 👏
Great vlog from start to finish. Love that Golf R but the wheels on the M4 are literally amazing compared to what they were before the refurb.
Love that wrap, that color... looks mint 😉😉
Bloody hell, what’s the point of a 800HP SRT if it can’t beat a hatchback in a straight line? 😂
Finally good videos coming bro, with only 1 sponsor video keep it up like this 😝
Great Vid Mat. Golf R pretty much smashing the competition....👍👍🔥🔥
Would you ever do a raffle for one of us to have our car wrapped by you ??
the golf just looks the nuts. the colour combo is unreal, do you have any launches left on the gearbox ;) and those M4 wheels oh my.
Mat, your skill on cars seems to be equally as epic as your editing skills
It just gets better and better every week.
I'm just glad I'm already subscribed.
First time I watched your video and i really enjoyed watching. Well done on your golf R
I love how pleased you get when things work out for you. 😆🤣😂
Four hours and zero thumbs down. The best channel! 😀
Carly is pretty decent. I've got a 2007 BMW 1 series and unfortunately can't do too much with it but as for keeping it in the car for checking faults and such its great. Also allowed me to enable a digital speedometer which is a LIFE SAVER!
Absolutely love the wheels on the M4, the wheel company are amazing.
Would be good if you could do a full price list of what each car has cost you to repair and mod.
3:43 Soooooo funny. At least the green money pit tag will suit this beautiful green Golf R
Bro the launch on the Golf R. Jesus Christ 😳😤😤😤🤯
Another very entertaining video mat 🙏 they get better and better!
The restoration on those rims is amazing.
Golf r very underrated car tbf, would love one they are lethal and the plus side of it is, it's a golf 🤣 good video bro
I Was waiting for this :) The Golf R is looking 🔥
And all your other cars 😉
Those BMW alloys look fresh af! Since you got a BMW, I thought it would only be a matter of time before you got a Carly sponsorship.

I love the gloss black with the satin green 😎👌🏼👌🏼
Matt you are a lovable untrained mechanical genius .

Man that wil be thee day if i ever get to own a golf R,definately a dream come true but now cnt even afford a mere Toyota,but thats a beast man,wow
The music on these vids ❤️ Keep up the epic work Mat!
The golf is a beast! And it looks great 😍 Love your videos 😁👍
Easily my new favourite TH-cam channel 👏👏👏👏
Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy an after market senor for the lights?
Either way, love the golf! Love the channel. Keep it up matt
1500 quid for the windscreen and sensor 😂
@@MatArmstrongbmx oh dam! So expensive. 😅
As always another mint video. I always look forward to these every week. Really want my Audi wrapping in that green!! 😍
Best looking Golf I've seen! Love it.
Brilliant racing can’t wait till next video 👍
Golf R..... Pure beast baby!!!..... Winner, winner.... Chicken dinner..... Love my Vdubs, love my hot hatches!! 😎
That Golf R kills it maaan!! Love it!
The golf is technically your fastest car until the twin turbo Gallardo is done lol
Others car youtubers are burning out your content is still fresh keep it up 👍👌
Just loving the green! The guy in panda costume looked fed up 😂

On it again Mat!
I would like the opportunity to gap all your toys tho 🤣
Fancy an OG battle?
Can’t wait to win the Golf R in the raffle next week I’m sure of it
The green looks crazy, we do need more videos though😭😭
LLF - Absolute Legend.
That Aston Martin is all bark and no bite.
The hulkkkk smashing everyone 💚💚💚
Your the winner Matt of all considering what you have spent.
That's one awesome colour. Brilliant job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁
Damn that Golf r is class. Nicest in the garage for me.
Why no launch in the Dodge ? Swear they do a 9s qtr Mile stock?🤣
Also road condition
Regarding the headlight do we need it to be connected to the front sensors to get it programmed? Or it has nothing to do with them please advise if u have any info about that. Coz i got new headlights and controllers but no front sensors yet
Those Hellcats have a very hard time hooking up on non prepped surfaces.
Would be cool to see a collab with Ricky. Love the content though either way!!
Absolutely love your energy matt, I've said it before but it's infectious and I wish I could bring that level to my vids. Golf looks sick in that green too 💚
Always wanted an m4! So glad u got one! Make a discreet build of it for all us OEM fans
Lol 😂 so funny 🤣 this is what I look like after buying the headlights 😳.. but on a positive side bro you right the wheels definitely make it look all complete..and the golf r is fast 💨 as f great video as always.
Love the outro music “Ryan Gilmore - in my bloodline” Are you going to do a drag race with Mat Watson and Yianni?
Imagine a 750hp golf r vs that mclaren 🌚🌚🌚🌚I’m hinting something if you’re up for it 😅
Its not all about the horsepower, its about putting the power onto the track! and mclaren is the best at it at the moment!
With that Carly can you change the headlight voltage? So if i was changing my pre LCI to LCI M4 LED lights i'd need a voltage change. Can Carly do this?
Love the video, was looking into the OBD plug in, but The 15% off code for Carly doesn't work 😔 was it only for a limited time, or is there an issue with it?
Good job with the m4 it's coming along grate 👌 but the golf is somthin else🤩🔥💯 absolute beast!
Good on ya mat grate an grate content 👍keep it up
Those M4 wheels look incredible!
Mat you need to start doing a leader board like they did on Top gear👍
£1200 for headlights blimey, that mugshot too 😂😂
that golf r is mega i want it haha loving the vids pal enjoy them and all ways look forward to them
I am confused. Wasn't Dodge Demon at this time supposed to be the fastest production car with ridiculous 0-60 times? I get that the Golf is tuned, but anyway. I am not the car guy, can someone explain me?
That golf is an absolute rocket. Wont be racing my brothers golf r in my a35 😂 can’t deal with getting gapped like that
A35 are quicker
That golf is Rad 🔥🔥🔥🔥well done Matt 👍
Nice one Mat...interested to know what has hapoened to the Golf. Your enthusiasm is second to none and such a breath fresh of air.
£1200 for headlights is literally daylight robbery 😧
Dude, great video, can't wait for the next one...please, don't leave it so long...😁
The look after buying headlights 🤣🤣🤣
Love watching your videos mate love this car Wats planned next for lambo
Unreal, The colour is just insane, Fancy doing mine pal?😂👌🏻
