Can people chill out on the comments to the bodyshop please guys 🙏 I’ve used them for years always done a mint job and all my cars. 1 mistake which was rectified by them instantly is no sweat 😅. The car looks mega and that’s all that counts 🙏
Respect
I personally never made a comment on the body shop, however i will just say, i do completely realise why they didn't tell you about the damage,
Is it skammy/dishonest, maybe... however its a one off mistake.
Thats just how all businesses operate, if they all admited to every one of their mistakes, they wouldnt last long financially, it just shows that you all have never owned a company before!!
Is abit naughty they didn’t tell you at the time, what would have happened a year down the line your word against theirs
Mat is a positive guy people so everyone needs to have the same attitude, if it doesn’t bother Mat then commenters need to chill out 😂👍🏻
Legend Carry on doing what you're doing mate.
Good for my mental health.❤
No need to buy wrecked cars anymore if you are your own supply 😂
This comment needs pinning ahahaha
Niiiiiice mate
😂😂😂😂🔥
Hahaha
Never get high off your own supply….

Good news no one was hurt and the fun continues. Don’t know how you do it Freddie but I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to help support the UK you Tubers build their audience. Thanks Mate hope your keeping on top of everything .
Quick tip Mat, on all VAG cars, Porsche aswell, partnumbers for left hand side parts end in an odd number, and right hand side parts end in even numbers, so example 5VE 425 301 for left, and 5VE 425 302 for right. Hope this makes it easier in the future.
They could have boxed in wrong at the factory, which does happen regularly !
Mat, "im a good driver, stop roasting me"
Also Mat: crashes 2 supercars within a month 🤣
My brother in law says the same, insists he’s a good driver, he’s a danger to anything and everything…
"Driving"' its just like riding a bike 😂

That's quite a cheeky move from the body shop. I wouldn't be happy if someone who I pay to do a job, causes damage, and then tries to hide it by sloppily repairing it and never owning up to it, until confronted by the customer.
Always be honest even if you mess up
They should have definitely confessed straight away. "We screwed up, but new part is ordered and on its way."
That way you get return business 9 times out of 10.
Yeah I'd be pissed, wouldn't be going back to them. They owned up to it he says, yeah only after they'd been caught out.
The thing that makes it worse is they would have taken full payment and smiled in his face, knowing what they had broken and thought they would get away with it. Something similar has happened to me at a different bodyshop, which im going through legals at the minute but I never thought a high profiled CZcamsr like Matt would experience this, especially when he documents everything and has a massive audience....Madness! I just hope the bodyshop learns from this L. Honesty is 🔑
LoL they know Mat damn good for years and still did something like this to him. Matness.
Matt's father is a happy soul, always smilling😄😃
Fix it again Tony 😊
Should have Tony’s garage - one for fixing cars Mat crashes😉
Matt's ability to rebuild and crash cars is a chaotically wholesome talent
Heisenberg fam long time no see (if ur og)
bit of a waste of porsche parts...
boi mare
@@ikaros4203 I think it was well spent money payed for by us 👍🏻
Maybe buying crash damaged cars is getting expensive, why not crash them himself then rebuild 😂🙌🏾
As it slid off the track you just know Tavarish was already planning the intro to his next video "I just bought the cheapest pink GT3 in the world..."
He already bought a cheap one off Mat last year 🤣
@@DylanS-zv4dc Well now he can have another one... Cheap... LOL 🤣
😂🙌🏼😂
Mat, I think it might be that haircut 😂
@@paulcrocker8232 or the black dye he uses
The way that car seamlessly peeled a layer of grass and rolled it up like a carpet...the driving skills...pure perfection. Never seen a driver able to do that with such finesse. Bravo!
Mat "I saw you go flat in a Ferrari FXX" Ben Collins (and numerous others) "That was Michael Schumacher"!!!! Cue hysterical laughter and Mat with his head in his hands. Brilliant!!
And it was a Ferrari fxx lol not a Porsche gt3
That collective callout sent me!!
Bit cheeky of the body shop not saying about the light until they got found out.
Yes exactly my thoughts. What if he never crashed that car ? 😮
Yeah or if he didn’t have the video evidence ? Scummy behavior
Says a lot about bodyshops if they are doing this kind of thing to cars they know I'll be on you tube, what do you reckon goes on with run of the mill motors
Criminal id say
It would of got found out when he took it to Porsche saying it had water damage they would of took one look at it and declined it saying it been broken and repaired so not there fault and matt would have had to pay for it. I would never use that body shop again so untrustworthy on a car like that and not tell no one as they know it would go to Porsche for inspection and i bet they would of found that and fail it warranty.
Did they really think they would get away with it such bad business name and shame them so people know not to go there as a risk with matt like that what do you think they would do with your car lucky he has vids to back it up as if he did not they would have not owned up to it.
That body shop was cheeky, broke the light, tried to fix it without saying anything, got caught, good job you record everything, I wouldn’t trust them again!
It is very cheeky, It might of been the technician doing it without the gaffer knowing
I would get to the bottom of it if I were you Mat!
Glad someone said it. You got to at least disclose it to the client cmon now
Accidents happen, but it's outrageous that nobody said anything. They'd be off my list for any future repairs.
Yeah, they "owned up to it" AFTER they got caught. They tried to scam Mat.
I’m sure Ben pointed this out - it takes anyone a minimum of ten laps to learn a track. Working as a racing instructor at Palmersport for many years - I was asked a simple question on my first day, if a professional racing driver gets in the driving seat next to you, what do you do? My immediate response and naivety was “let them crack on” to be immediately corrected. They won’t know where they are going, as instructors we knew the track better than anyone. Point is. 10/10 for the send but having seen a roll over at 170mph which had less lateral force than your off, two things, roll cage and full face helmet / hans device on track if you’re even thinking about pushing limits of the cars. I’m sure I speak for everyone, we’d hate to see anything happen to you. I’m sure you’ve learnt your lesson. Just hope others are able to take it onboard as well. You were unbelievably lucky there. Keep up the good work.
Even non car people enjoy Mats channel. You can have it on the TV safe in the knowledge its ok for the family to watch. Thanks Mat👍
A bit naughty of the body shop to try and hide the £700 rear light they damaged!!! I’d avoid using them in the future.
Yup that’s really shameful. What were they thinking, especially since Mat has a lot of influence.
Is the Porsche rwd? If yes then Matt needs to avoid those
Womp womp
Jk
I’ve always wondered how much of a difference driver training would make to how these cars perform and how the driver feels about the cars. I love these videos and in the interest of Matt and family and us being able to enjoy these videos for years to come, I hope we soon see Matt’s journey as a driver as well as a mechanic. Thanks for the content!!!! Stay safe!
I just want to say thank you, you helped me to be more focused on my goals and dreams and i am going big to get to them. Looking forward for a day that i can admire your work closely❤️.
Wish you the best.
This would‘ve been the last time I visited that body shop. Not because they damaged the light, but because they tried to hide it. That‘s a no-go!
Calm down they owned up after yes its wrong but im sorry compared to most body shops in the country the work they do it fucking incredible
@@sionpritchard2060they didn't own up to it, they tried to hide it, got caught, admitted they broke it and tried to brush it off with some excuse. 0 honesty
@@sionpritchard2060 they owned up to it after they got caught
Yeah its very good work that they do but they still should have admitted that they caused damage to the light as soon as it happened
@@sionpritchard2060if the accident didn’t happened Matt would have never known what happened to the light…i found this very unprofessional i wouldn’t recommend this place….blacklisted for me….when you broke someone stuff you’ve got to tell them not hide it……
High speed corner on cold tyres - a good example of where talent beats hard work. Love your videos Matt, keep them coming
Hahahahahha no Brain or eyes/ears beats hard work
not even talent, just completely wrong information and track knowledge tbh, The "flat out" was for 80hp car for star in a reasonably priced car ffs hahahaha, not anything with grunt. Not that a better driver would make the mistake of going for it, referring to a comment from memory was a bit silly for a cold run in a nice car!
a good example of where talent beats hard work - priceless, and should be on the front of the t-shirts
@@JW-qf2fxyeah yeah blah blah
Looks great love your work and honesty Mat
matt is a legit superhero! this man deserves all the love and respect!
i love how they check their own footage of them installing the taillight and making sure they dont blame anyone for anything without confirmation , keep up the stuff mat
I tell you what, I don’t care if cars are crashed and rebuilt and crashed again, can never get enough of this channel. Love the content love it all. Keep it up bro just stay safe so you can keep rebuilding
I just love your dad’s energy. Cheers mate!
Watched your Videos since the TT, then moved on and came back to see that your Channel turned into something huge, and i didn´t expect anything else. You´ll handle it perfect, as you always do.

Hopefully a new series where the Stig teaches Matt how to drive, and another series where Matt builds his own race car, and goes a racing, Tony in the pits and Hannah on the pit wall sounds amazing to me
I'm all good it😊
A gran turisimo series with the Stig and Matt 🙃
Totally agree. Matt needs to learn how to drive on a race track in a race car and never use his expensive toys rather on public roads driving safely.
Yes please. In fact, line up Tavarish, Alex from LSC, Hoover.... all work on the same car in relay fashion, get taught by Ben and them do a bunch of laps so we can see who's the fastest CZcamsr out there. And please Doug Demuro's got to comment on the whole race, would love 2 hours of that Dude's lovely narration...
The colour is awesome and those wheels go hand in hand with that pinky red! It looks stunning!❤❤❤
Mat,
You're the best. It's been difficult for my family from covid junk like so many others, my father-in-law having a massive stroke and my oldest son with addiction.
The builds, the hilarious fun all of you have and the joy when someone wins a car helps with dealing with the "stuff of life". God bless you, Hannah, your dad and all the crew. Even side eye Kevin..
When Clarkson got excited about the guests taking the follow through flat out, they were in the reasonably priced car doing about 60, not in a super car at 110 😂 gotta love the effort though Mat! 👍
This is the best comment that could possibly be made about this video. Fu*king this ^ LOL
When clarkson used to comment “was he flat?” Don’t he mean as in body roll and then he would ask “Did you lift off?
Bro is his own supplier😂
🤣🤣🤣
Don't get high on your own supply! Rule #1
Def glad that your ok. That dig in I'm so shocked you didn't flip multiple times
Always with the time crunch on this car!! Loved the vid.

I came here to look for this. That was the best part of the whole thing for me😂😂
GT3 RS needs a bold colour and youve definitely sent it!
Sounds to me like The Stig just offered to teach you how to drive on track .....
From working all the hours in the world in a restaurant and at a garage, to essentially Yoda offering to train you ...
Boys done good 👍
The offer, he takes it up, I hope *in best Yoda voice*
@@ConnorHammond Think not the corner lest the corner think you, hmmmmm
Trust in the traction control, LSD's and many many driving aids that all said
Nope,

You just got offered driving lessons from The Stig!!! That is definitely a series I would watch!!!
I thought the Gallardo would have been enough of a reality check Mat! 😅
Yeah, definitely time for professional driving lessons
Smiling the whole time during the crash 11:58 Your a legend man!
Buy it. Mend it. Race it. You own it! Love it! (Old man who loves your Channel)
Fair play to Matt for not taking it badly about the body shop breaking the light. I would be fuming if I’m honest you. I wouldn’t mind a little thing but when the part costs as much as them lights do it would annoy ya.
Yea and think if he did not have the vids to back it up can bet they would never own up to it as if they risk that with matt what would they do with your car i would never use them again and name and shame them so other will know what they are like. If they just owned up to it said they patched it but if it not work we will pay for it there would be no problems but hiding it till they got found out is just wrong how many more have they done like that to other people not have vids like matt does to know it was them shameful behaver from the body shop and people should know what they are like.
@@giggity4670 He would still have the bills and everything proving that he bought a new light. And the bodyshop were the only ones who took the car apart between him putting the light in and him realizing that it was full of water.
They should have admitted they caused some damage to the light as soon as it happened that is very bad move from that body shop not to say anything until they got found out
I love people who paint their supercars in bright and unique colours as they should
Great colour choice. I admire your loyalty to the body shop who have done so much excellent work for you over the years.
Fantastic looking car; can't wait to see how you get on with the warranty situation with Porsche.
There is more satisfaction in watching this, than watch Shmee150 walking around telling us about his cars over and over and over again.
Honest question who actually watches Shmee? Aside from having access to rare cars, he doesn’t offer anything in his videos.
@@talaris-ukit’s like watching an AI just regurgitating info about cars. Pretty boring
Can’t stand schmee or whatever his name is.!
I so respect guys who chose the color instead of black. You are the man!
Colours ace mate proper nailed it. Who'd have thought gold wheels went so well with pink body
Fix, drive, crash, fix, drive again :) Awesome content, keep it coming!
My running theory is that Mat has ran out of crash damage exotic cars to rebuild in the UK so he has turned to making his own supply
Makes perfect sense
Facts 😂🙌🏾
"THAT WAS MICHAEL SCHUMACHER" hahahah i died there
Great video definitely enjoyable not everything goes to plan in life. Shows how real your videos are.
Love the colour choice! Bodyshop done a great job on it.
Your old man is a bloody legend..
Great video - i’ll take a ballsy driver with speed over a slow driver in need any day - 😂 really enjoyed hanging with the gang and the constant laughter x
Ben had he done a couple of slower laps to warm the tyres could have gone through there flat
Please teach him to stop lifting mid corner though Ben.
New series for you Ben, training youtubers how to drive!
Ballsy? Very diplomatic. But a pound to a penny, that's not the word you were thinking of..... 😂😂😂
hi
that colour is actually awesome, I love it! gives me an idea for myself!
THE perfect color for a 911 ever since the 964RS! Well done!
Richard hammond would be proud. mat has learned from the master.
Even when matt is crashing hes still smiling. What a guy
Also when they say is he/shes flat out im sure thats when hes talking to the celbs in the reasonably priced car.
When it showed the crash footage I saw that he was smiling. I would just rethink my life choises. What a guy he is never down.
Absolutely love that color Matt!
I'm so happy that you managed to do all that at young age. Gj Matt keep it going and thank you for learning me so much stuff about cars. 😄
Looking at the replay that was real lucky it didn’t roll. Back in the day I was lucky enough to have a track day in a Lotus(!) but got kicked off for “reckless disregard of human life”! Sometimes you just want to keep pushing the envelope but sometimes you need to take a step back and ease up a bit. You got a great life please keep yourself safe buddy 👍🏻
hannah is such a doll being supportive through all this.
Sick finish, love it 👌
Fantastic colour mat it looks amazing.
"HAMMOND!!!!!!!!!"
seriously though really good job on the car and its probably in the nicest colour ive ever seen a GT3
Mat teased rashford for the accident in one early video of the RR😂. Now mat crashed 2 in one month, Rashford must be laughing now.
maybe there's a curse on the Rolls..........
Race, break, fix, repeat!! I love it!!
Thanks Mat for another great video really helps take your mind off everyday life - keep it up mate. Gutted you ran out of talent and broke it but it could of been much much worse as you know
According to the g-force graph you have lifted your right foot in the same moment when you turn left. So the balans of the car goes forward making rear axis light and that initiates the drifting phase. It’s good that you and the car are OK.
Fixing them up with your dad and Mates is one thing but driving them is another story. Keep up the good work fella. Clever with these videos
Great stuff guys 👍🏻
Love the colour...we learn from our mistakes and it could have been worse. Keep up the good work mat
8:50 the synchronised "That was schumacher"
that was gold
Mat’s never heard the saying “never get high off your own supply” lol glad you’re okay though
Excellent build....and rebuild. Love the colour. Thanks for the entertainment.
I love the attitude of the real driver.
Seriously Matt needs to do some sort of advanced driving course , just because he can figure out how to fix these cars , doesn't mean he knows how to drive them😳
tbf he's got the underpinnings of quite a knowledgeable peddler, just needs some edges smoothing out
So when motogp rider crash, likes mark marquez, he dont know how to ride?? you just hating dude 😂😂😂
@@PaynosI mean yeah and no a Supercar is gonna make an average driver look good no matter what, I really think his down fall was actually lifting, Porsches love their off throttle oversteer AFAIK
@@mozzaplaysgames7897 he's actually alright, lines are good, generally pretty smooth, just needs experience, which he's getting in spades now he's out on track. The lift off snap is a classic, and he'll definitely learn from that lol
2:47 “it’s a…..very feminine”🤣🤣🤣🤣oh my days,Matt’s dad adds a lot of humour to this channel! Love him for days. 🤣❤️
That is a man who grew up in a very different time to the modern world, and is trying his hardest to embrace it to the best of his ability. Hats off to him, more than you can say for most in his generation!
The color is awful tbh, first the ugly wrap but this paint is even worse. I think the purple was immaculate 💜
@@LJB006 nah man, the colour is just fine. Not good and definitely not bad. 🙏🏽Purple was good but this ain’t that bad either

He's not wrong
Matt. Keep up the hard work brother
You are definitely super crazy driver, but I love it, thanks Matt
Mat seems to be faster at breaking cars than fixing them at the moment 😂
That’s bad of the body shop to damage the light and not own up and then try to bodge a repair thinking they’ll never get found out … I wouldn’t be using them again Mat
I wouldn’t even go to that body shop for a dump
Very shamefull.Can imagine look of body shop owner when he recieved first text.
It sucks that some repair shop does that thinking you won't find out but thanks to that recorded video
Epic colour Matt top job 👏 👌
You didn’t had to explain me what happened, you drove to fast for your skill level that was pretty obvious. But would happen to most people. Maybe you should take a short drive training from a pro and make short series about it. Then you are besides a genious builder also a very good driver.
Good to hear you’ve identified the ambition vs ability issue before it’s too late Mat! At least you were on a private track this time, that’s the right place to push these cars. Stay safe fella!

Matt’s brain “…… doesn’t not compute = send it and lift where!!!??” 😂😂😂 glad your ok man - that could have been so bad
Such an insane colour love it
Happy Birthday Matt. Mine too. Thanks for all the laughs.
Please show more of your father’s work with you. He’s such a beautiful human being, with shiny kind eyes, great humble mechanic, who raised you to be who you are mate !. Continue to shine Mat !. ❤
That's two crashes you luckily walked away from Mat. You did not find the limit of the car, you found your limit at reading the road and not being fully prepared with a couple of test laps at slower speeds to find the limit of the car. Why on earth did you decide to race the vehicle before its inspection and reinstatement to the warranty? Love your content and really admire how you have developed over time. You are obviously a generous guy as well so FFS don't kill yourself and listen to that other voice in your head, you know the sensible one. take care m8 and make many more videos in good health.
I think he needs to worry more about Hana killing him for putting her through this stress twice in a month, all jokes aside glad he came out of it unhurt and as someone who was a former adrenaline junkie it might be time to start ignoring that little voice that says "what's the worst that can happen".
In order to be good at extreme sports like bmxing you need to have some mental blocks missing. I used to skate alot and my friends that were good had no sense of self preservation. Makes sense though.
tracking would void the warranty im pretty sure
ok boomer
it looks amazing!!!!
Well done Matt, love the color... cheers
