Just wanted say a massive thank you to Alan darkside body and paint and Darkside performance for the incredible work they have done on my mk6 golf r, to turn around a massive list within 3weeks is dedication. The late night hours put in to get this amazing finish is pure class. I would recommend anyone who needs any body work or mechanical work to get in touch. I want to thank everyone for there kind messages. Only 800 mk6 r where produced in the uk and God knows how many are left, she been injected with a new life, a second chance, pure grey, Darkside thank you again for the magic 🎩
@mazlogistickskhan3639 Hey quick question on your front brake rotors… Why do they seem so much smaller than stock? Are those different calipers as well? My r has the 345x30 in the front and they appear much larger than yours
Looks great, it’s just a shame that after all that hard work the Rear Main Seal will probably fail, it felt like all I ever did to my MK6 was fit Rear mains and PCV’s!🥴
What an insane project incredible ☠️☠️ just please what primer did you used before the paint ? Black Primer ? Because this grey look too dark for a grey primer no ? Thank you for answer 👊🏼👊🏼
Very nice result. You know you lot over there should look at grey imports from here in Australia. No salt here in winter.... I'd never buy a personal import from the UK for exactly the reasons you discussed. On a side note, my Passat creaks from the front end under brakes when coming to a stop. Anything that typically causes it? I had a mechanic check for signs but he said he couldn't visually see anything wrong. I'm stumped. I sprayed WD40 on a few things to see if that'd help but nah...
@@DarksideDevelopments is there much you can do with my 2014 a5 2.0 177 bhp fwd on 160k miles? Feels a bit slow and gear ratio is not great. Wanting some sort of a remap for it not sure if stage 1 or stage 2. Thanks

Thanks for letting us work on your car Maz!!
It looks great, keep it up together and you’ll get the money you spent on it back in no time!👍
Brother can you let me know the percentage of tint you have had on both your pront and back lights please

Na mate stock rotors on there. Maybe because I'm running 19inch, is probably why they look small. I've changed the setup now to 362mm with 4pots now.
The finish on that paint job is perfection.
Well worth the price stated I’d say
It’s an opinion!
A decent finish like this one, cost’s a fair amount simply due to the materials & work hours involved
I have a mk6 Golf R that I thought was a beautiful car...that is until I saw THIS one! WOW! Perfection!
No questions very fair price for high quality work, plus all the other work done in the shop equals years of happy and trouble free motoring
That glossy finish is beautiful contrasting against the black
Stunning paint job!
❤️ I would absolutely love to join you gents. Vw for life 🤘
Rattle can from halfords it is
Many a good job done from a can if you have the time!
Can remember full resprays when the where £1500 what a job 👏🏻
I think there are more better sprayers now than 20 years ago though.
Looks amazing 🤩 perfect craftsmanship best colour in the world
Quality. You can see where the hours went.
You have some talented individuals in your team!
Had a few problems with taken out gearbox . Should be out this week . Hopefully.
Looks amazing well done lads.
Nice, you’ve made your Mk6 look like my TCR.
Instant devaluation? I do like the TCR edition!
That's lush . Lovely colour.
If that rolled off production line today, I'd be extremely happy. So fresh!!! ;)
Very nice. I own a mk6 myself.

Propper job👍. Also nice vlog 👍
That’s the colour I want on my A4, hopefully I can get it similar if I wrap the car, because I know a respray like this must be expensive?
Great video. But standard look better I think.
Perfect job... And perfect car 👍👍
@@raffehdecor543??
Nice !! Love the videos 👌👌
Very well done.
Looks mint 👌
What an insane project incredible ☠️☠️ just please what primer did you used before the paint ? Black Primer ? Because this grey look too dark for a grey primer no ? Thank you for answer 👊🏼👊🏼
It was grey primer, you can see in the photos at the end of the video
what a motor !!!
Absolute quality job lads, can't get over how deep the black is, almost looks like piano black plastic. What did you use to get it to look so good?
It's a Ferrari colour IIRC. Cheers!
Nice one mate beautiful paint pity it’s not diesel 🤷♂️
Top job guys
Quality job that!
Looks like great value to me.
Top job and top guys
That is stunning......👌
So very nice

Cheers, we have a Ute on its way now! Maybe the top mount bush or a dry balljoint?
@@DarksideDevelopments Amorok?
Thanks, I'll get a second opinion on your suggestion. Appreciate your suggestion
Single Cab, inside info...
@@DarksideDevelopments Legend, no one will ever find out 😉
Oh my
Satisfaction 😍
that looks amazing! I would have put new headlights in if I was spending that much though.. or got them wet sanded and polished.
Those were new from some place, 700quid, pre stone chipped!
We will get some new ones ready for ppf and should have the interior back in , and get some more photos up.thanks
Lovely job gents. If you need another painter... HMU ☎️😁
Email us a CV, good staff are hard to find!
Can you link the color code?? I want mine sprayed same color. But my guy wants a color code.
Pure Grey - Paint Code LH7J
What if you just wanted it spraying with the original colour, ie black and not a two tone spray
Not much difference in price.
Hi there can someone please tell me what this colorcode is
I want to paint my car in the same color
It's LH7J Pure Grey. Drop us an email to paint@darksidedevelopments.co.uk if you're wanting a quote
The best colour after black IMO, all day long, so nice. And the MK6 looks miles better than the MK7, especially in a 3DR....
6>7 all day.
@hyper Sounds really nice bro..It'll be perfect on those hot days cutting about:)….
would you guys work on Japanese cars body work wise or just VAG's and BMW's?
We will paint anything!
He is amazing at his craft you will never go anywhere else.
Hi guys amazing work. What do you think of the mk6 issues with the gti are you able to fix the tensioner problem with them? Thanks
We don't do much with petrol engines
@@DarksideDevelopments is there much you can do with my 2014 a5 2.0 177 bhp fwd on 160k miles? Feels a bit slow and gear ratio is not great. Wanting some sort of a remap for it not sure if stage 1 or stage 2. Thanks
We can tune it, 210hp usually!
Money we'll spent I'd say. Looks mega
would you touch electric orange pfl focus st?
No problem!
@@DarksideDevelopments will ping you an email over.

What is colour
LH7J Pure Grey
Paint code plz?
LH7J Pure Grey
@@DarksideDevelopments Thank you!! ❤️
Great job for £6000
Could’ve got away with rattle canning it I’d say
Not to distract from the quality of the job, but why would anyone spend 5-6k on a colour change? I’d rather spend that making it go faster
Each to their own!
@@DarksideDevelopments yeah defo. Not shitting on anything just my opinion. Love what you fellas do
You don't get in as much trouble with the po po with a nice looking car...
Schick
Looks a million pounds
reyt then lol
All that and you didn’t refinish the headlights
Those were new supplied by some Xenon company, pre-stone chipped I think but good try pulling our work down! Customer was getting replacements.
The car looks beautiful! you have a very good camera and lighting set up. That camera would’ve picked up a spec of dust on the car
5k to 6k in damn £ ( pounds) to re spray a little Volkswagen Golf...I had big respect for you lads, but damn....👎👎..6k,...

@@Kenny-Somafunk he did his hall, stairs and landing. Made a reasonable job of that....
With materials it was less than 40/hr
@@Kenny-Somafunk and how did you got to that conclusion?Or you just comment just to try and look kind of a smart ass?
