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!

Great video as always Chris, and thank you for taking time out at Gravity on Saturday for a picture much appreciated mate
Slowly becoming my favourite TH-cam channel
I know you and mat are friends and your content is similar but you don't copy anyone but I can see your channel blowing up like his has because you have a great energy and honesty when it come to fixing cars. Good on ya and truly wish you the greatest success with everything you do because you deserve it 👏 ✨️
Thanks so much it means alot ❤️
@Chris_Slix also I do love the cars you have been building. Love a hot hatch. Well actually there isn't many cars I don't like. 🤔 Whats the dream build for you Chris?
@@kings3803”there isn’t many cars I don’t like” me too man me too😂😂😂😂
@@kings3803 as generic as it sounds my dream always has and always will be a lamborghini from between 2000-2010 they are the cars i grew up idolising so it would be a dream to buy one to build and keep but i know its all been done before so alot may not want to see that
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 😂
Watching all the way From Namibia, Africa Chris....Well Done💫💫
wow that makes us two bro...also follow Matt😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎
Love the videos and love what you've done with it 👌🏻👏🏻 But the air freshener had me in a daze 🥴😂 So glad you did the wing mirrors 👍🏻
It was nice to see you on Saturday and Sunday mate, mat's stand was crazy busy 😄
I’ve had a mk8 R for little over a year and I love it. Perfect daily driver. Quick, comfortable and decent on fuel when not driving it like an absolute maniac!
Golf is Looking great with the new body kit, Defo needs some new wheels 👊🏻😎😉👌🏻
glad your keeping up the work man!
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
The progress & content is mega. Definitely agree it needs some performances ‘spice’
I’m really enjoying this series seeing your true passion for cars makes watching these videos that more exciting. I’m glad I found your channel. Looking forward to the next vid. Keep it up you’re doing an amazing job rebuilding these cars. 😀
Great video Chris ! You’ve come on leaps and bounds ! Love watching you 👍🏻
Car is looking great , brakes painted is a perfect match . Love all the builds so far
Tastful mods Chris - looks great 👌🏻. Looking forward to lowering and big wheels (and zorst)
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.
The i30n is a great car out the box truly under rated
Congrats on the garage upgrades, i bet they will make your life alot easier. Nearly at 100K subscribers to, the channel really blew up these last few months.
I think put an aftermarket exhaust and you’ll love the results
Defo needs new wheels, exhaust and some lows and it'll be about there 👍
Good job Chris…looking forward to the next vid 👍🏻
Those scissor lifts are neat 👌🏽
I'm already looking forward to your next project...I think that means your doing a good job 😎
love this series keep it up man🤩
Glad you enjoy it!
Smashed it on the rebuild, cars looking 10/10.
Love your videos bud
Watching all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Big up SA 🇿🇦
Keep up the awesome work!!!
Always good watching your content
@@Chris_Slixcarbon engie cover and a bonnet strut next
Fantastic, and love a footrest 👌
This kit with this colour 🔥👌 looks amazing Chris
Looking good, like the body kit. It looks rapid off the line.. Well done .
I am in my 40s and I love what you've done so far, exhaust is a must, it should add to the occasion, am sure a tune is in your thinking lol
Looks great, perfect with the body kit which it should have from factory. Nice work
Need to get a resonator delete on it! Makes it sound 100x better. Keep the content coming man
Nice to say hello at the weekend Chris, may be a bit of a sleeper but I’m sure with other mods it’ll make it more exciting, love the look 👏cheers Marcus
Great video but I would not trust those jacks!! They look so weak :( You are virtually laying down in that drivers seat! :))) So funny. Keep up the good work Chris
Gotta say this has been technically a great build , colour really pops , loved the Jag but .......I think this has been best one yet 👍👍 , and here's me thinking my Z3 wasn't bad , great job dude ! 😎
I've fitted a full body kit from maxton on my mk8, makes it look so much better imo
Followed your i30 last week on the A46 and it was brilliant, like a modern Group B rally car. You tube doesn’t do it justice. I hope this one turns out just as good.
Again brilliant video 👏👏👏
How many times have we all placed a drip tray underneath the car (for coolant or oil) and completely missed? Must be a man thing.
Great work Chris. Keep it up 💙
Nice one Chris, the aftermarket parts look OEM + and make a real difference to the looks, but I agree it needs the sound to match and maybe some different wheels? However great video and good to see your on your way to 70k subscribers 👍🇬🇧
Fingers crossed that🤞 you get this beast mapped
I love your channel and I watch your videos every week🇿🇦
Thanks brother! 🇿🇦
I totally agree Chris as I had a Golf GTI Performance and that was the same. I think they have been perfected by VW as has been around for a long time
Awesome Chris looks awesome just need new wheels and a stage 3 💪
that green t-shirt drove me back to old 350z😍😍😍
Big throwback
Love the videos keep up the work atleast you upload frequently to keep us updated, I always watch Mat but he does not upload alot which annoys me some much but i know he is super busy...
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.😁
Great editing 👌🏻
Iv just got a mk7 I want a body kit I don’t no much about cars so I love these videos
Love the carbon fibre extras looks alot better the mk8 does look a bit standard out the factory , think all it's lacking now is a decent exhaust to get that "performance car " feeling 😂😂 Them quick jack's r cool af do have they have safety locks on them tho
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.
It’s doesn’t look like
A polo anymore. Nice job 👍👍
Awesome content south Africa is watching as always salute
Big love to SA you guys are amazing
Decaf ppf removal and a remap, there’s ur performance car (x7 🤣) and some wheel spacers 😍 great build 👏
Yes been waiting on this
I love how the car looks
South Africa approves📍...thanks for the amazing content
Doing good Job looking really nice 👌 ❤
As usual love the videos. Must say I hate the standard wheels they let it down mega. But sure you'll change them
Great work chris
The side skirts look like the standard R-Line ones. It does look really good now :) :)
Been following you all the way from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Didnt know you had a chanel mate. Watched you on Mats chanel now i have 1 more car chanel to follow. Subscribed mate ✌
ive been hypnotized by a car air freshner
😂😂😂 it didn’t even clock in my brain until i started to edit it
Get it remapped and get the loudest exhaust you can find 😂 job done
Hey Chris, when you decide to sell this GOLF, I am really interested to buy it.
Good video bro, loving the content👊🏼, needs some nice wheels and an exhaust and a map will bring it to life, TR hamza has a mk8R and you can get some decent powder out of them mate💯😎
Definitely, the exhaust sound needs to improve Chris. Kudos Great Video
Great Content. TR Hamza has done some proper mods to hes Golf 8R. Will be a total different animal with some hardware and software
Yea I’m not to sure y people go mad on these car it doesn’t look anything special to look at and to be honest not my cup of tea and love watching this the way u build it back up great job
carVertical, the number of previous owners was incorrect. The Customer Support Team were not helpful and chose to explain the process on how they collect data as opposed to resolving the problem! Great videos and content.
Well played, all those extras set it apart from a normal ugly one 😅 keep it up man. Need me some of them quick jacks!
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.
Please tell me how to do this 😂 its a nightmare
@Chris_Slix go to the menu screen and press and hold esc then it should let you move it to the quick option menu .
Looking good but could do with an Akrapovic. Which I believe is also a dealer offered upgrade for the mk8 along with bigger alloys👍👍
i loved the Golf R's (having never owned one) but i have to say i think i prefer your i30n to this at the moment! maybe its the wild widebody....
Much love here from the netherlands
Sending my love right back 🙏
Definitely air freshener needs removing lol... Golfs looking good 👍
Hey Chris loving the way it’s coming together but please tell me you painted the HUGE penny washers and bolts under the front bumper and for the love of all things holy bin that air freshener that’s on the mirror 😂
Carbon Baby!!!!!
It aint boring, you’ve just got an low specced one. They do come with an aero kit like the on the gti clubsport.
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.
Only a couple sightings of john, we need to see more of him
Dude .. new rims !!
Soon 😊😊😊😊
Wing mirrors Black also
Mint mate
That CaRbOn fiBRE 😂bodykit is really popping out threw that colour... u picked a beautiful colour mr slix.... definitely needs an exhaust.... and the seatbelts matches that colour to the T..... maybe lower it a little.... i can't wait for the next video.... much respect brother.....
Should have got a carbon spoiler to complete the look. So far so good tho 👍
Get it tuned. You'll love it then
All the way for Bw 🇧🇼🇧🇼
Love the content, did you have any issues with the front splitter catching on speed bumps etc
I’d love to see the Renault Clio RS or The Megane RS as your next project.
You the best❤🎉
Still unclear, is this a performance car 🤔😂
Nah man, great build so far, so much progress in this video 👌 looking forward to seeing the finished article
Up the Villa!
Chris get them brake calipers painted you cant have blue ones on a blue car. Enjoy your vids though.👍
delete the center muffler and fit a milltek catback. then the sound is perfect ;)
South Africa loves that car, they're more like culture
Stage 2+ that thing it urge !!!
Golf R should have come stock with what stage one gives it. Transforms the car completely
