- How much better will our ugly £1200 Volkwagen Beetle look if we buy cheap mods from eBay, Amazon and Facebook marketplace with a tight budget? It will be a challenge but can it finally be cool?

I hate how un ironically good it looks now
litrerally thinking the same! I hate that i actually think it looks pretty decent xD
Shhhh you spoiled it 😂
Ive just watched the video and I hate to say it but It really doesn't look all that bad tbh 😂😂
troll
@@Feku13 I can't hear you la la la 😂
Ethan's painting abilities are top notch
Two things;
First: that actually looks really good. Some sort of racing livery would make the red/silver look intentional.
Second: can we all just take a minute to appreciate Jack and Ethan. Despite liking alex aswell, I think I have to say that these two guys are the real MVPs. Great work fellas 👏
Yeah I agree!
I love how Edwin's getting involved, WE NEED MORE OF HIM!!!
Controversial but I think Edwin is working better than Alex was. I feel like this is the James replacing Jason on Top Gear
@seb Harnett I personally prefer Jack and Edwin as a duo rather than Jack And Ethan tbh
@lettuce984 Still need Ethan for comedy value though.
Alex was good with Jack and Ethan and its becoming the same for Edwin with Jack and Ethan aswell.
Was thinking the same while watching this. Jack and Ethan are good together but they seem more relaxed when there's a 3rd. Edwin seems natural on camera and would be a good addition.
Just getting rid of those silly eye-lids was a masive improvement - end result looks much better than how it started out, but I think there is still room for further improvements.
Is crazy how wheels and lowering a car can make such a difference
The splash transition at 13:18 👌
I was really hoping you’d Darth Vader it and wrap it all in black. I think that’s the logical next step. And a 100 quid turbo.
Really 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I read that those 2.0 8v engines can be pushed quite far, they're stout. Would be a very interesting build!
@@antontaylor4530 yeah id love a beetle with that engine, its dead simple sohc, 8v, mpi, no vvt or direct injectors to fail
@@antontaylor4530 They're not bad, yeah.
Was looking for this comment. Blacked out with the yellow lights and those wheels 😍
I was mortified at every turn, but then saw the finished product, and actually, having never seen one of these decked before.... it works 😂 Also, more Edwin please! He works really well alongside the other boys, especially in the absence of Alex.
You need to put a big dirty twin centre exit exhaust on it now. Honestly doesn't look too bad now though. Good job guys. Nice to see Edwin has joined in this video too, he seems a cool guy
I think keep the color, it's sort of a trade mark at this point. I bet it gets looks of disbelief or puts a smile on people's faces. Definitely the latter for me. Would love to see a DIY detail on it, perhaps an exhaust and eBay turbo down the line 😄
I was worried you guys were gonna ruin it but it actually looks good, the wheels really help make the difference.
Noone talking about the clean transition at 13:18??
Surprisingly it looks loads better, awesome video nice to see Edwin getting in on the action.
It actually looks quite nice! Now do the inside? Audio, headliner, gti seats?
I think you need to take this Modern Beetle to a Classic Volkswagen Beetle & Bus meet-up, and try to 'Blend in'. Would be great to see the public's reaction.
For a small budget this actually looks ok. Definitely more working on cars vids needed (and weekly postings!), and get Edwin involved more too!
Yes. That's a big improvement. Lowering always looks cool, no matter how it rides (always was the same with classic Beetles too). The front lip is subtle, and helps visually lower it at the front. Spoiler - there is a smaller spoiler available that I think looks less boy racer and still works well. The wheels do look good with the lowering, and even the colour works with the colour of the wings and bumpers. As you say, it looks like it was a more thought out look. Removing those headlight eyebrows was a good move. The LED's work on the Beetle as they are a bit of fun, and the Beetle is a fun car. The only mod I don't like is making the headlights yellow. For about £50 to £60 you could install brighter and whiter headlight bulbs (Philips and Osram make some good ones), LED white side light bulbs, LED number plate lights, reverse lights, and interior light. It's amazing how those brighter and whiter bulbs make the car look that little bit better, and much better to drive at night. Try it as a simple cheap comparison video.
Love it guys, need more content with you two 👌🏻🚗
That car looks so much better. Love the Vids gents........
Anyone else REALLY impressed with that "Puddle, old car, fixed car transition"..... it looked super cool
You’ve definitely improved it. I think I’d now not notice it driving past, whilst beforehand I’d have judged it!
I like the realness of how it's cheap enough to actually go out an give it a go,😊
"The pockets are mint, LAAD" loved the juicebox reference
Rims and painted lower grill made all the difference. If you decide to remove the splitter, lemme know. I actually have a Seat Leon Cupra 😂
I had one of these in blue, someone had smoked a million cigs in it previously and it would give me a headache driving it. I eventually got rid of the smell, lowered it, put a big set of wheels on it and 2 spoilers on the rear. One where yours is, from time to time and one at the top of the back window. I thought it looked alright for what it was but it was one of the most unreliable pos I ever owned (apart from an MGF) which was much worse tbf. An ex girlfriend did a runner with it and when she finally handed it back...let's say she hadn't improved it. Traded it in for a Honda accord type S as the turbo had blown on it (it was a diesel). Well I'm glad I got that off my chest. Great video and keep up the good work lads 👍🏼
Im impressed, more of these budget improvement vids would be great
Now that van @ 14:37 out of ethans window is cool! lol. the beetle is alright, good job
'yea someone's put a fucking interior in this car' killed me 😂
Nothing like a day of working on your car, coming back to watch others working on their car, and basically watching yourself swearing at everything. 😂
Looks really nice, now you need a cheap exhaust and airfilter then it would be even nicer.
Maybe you could make some kind of cheap mods series with that car.
It looks awesome! Well done guys great work 👍
I've just acquired this VW Beetle model and planning to modify it . This video will be a big help! Thank you guys!!
Don't stop guys loving this. I'd also consider bringing back the podcast van with Gareth.
Looks so good 😍 please make more thing like this! This car can be so good lookin
Silver and red now looks like it supposed to be this way !
Really funny... I have NEVER had ANY problems with MaxPeedingRods Coilovers... And I have used I think 3 or 4 sets on different Drift Cars. I love em!
Same here. I’ve had them on prob like 10 cars from mustangs to Lexus and BMWs. They have been nothing but great to ne
@@christossakelariou same!!! 3x lexus is200 and 1 or 2 other cars. Nice!!!
Genuinely surprised at how much better this looks, surely a cheap turbo needs to be next ... or follow the fast and furious theme with nitrous 😅
I love the vibes in this channel~
Love your work guys 👍
Great video content on point as usual
I have a set of rods from Maxpeeding Rods on my turbo M50b25, and they are holding on really nice, running with 1,5 kg of pressure now
I really like it! Even the two tone paint looks good now. The front end looks soo good with the black lower grill, splitter and tinted lights! I don’t even like this era of beetle but I wouldn’t be unhappy with it if my parents had bought this for me for a first car 😂
Should do a full review of the coil overs once you get the damping set
Love it, the 2 tone is offputting a bit and a shame the wing wont stick but the yellow headlights give a proper Le Mans look to it and the frontsplitter with the new wheels finishes it quite nicely. only addition thing I dislike is the "neonz", would've go with a pancake "sport" airfilter instead. all in all definitely a great build for the particular circumstance... I like beetle's so might be a bit biased XD Thank you guys again for the great content!
Great Video as always ❤
please keep this going. Need a full build, see if its possible to make a beetle look good
Looks so awesome!
That engine looks like a 2.0 aqy?
I know that thing loves petrol for sure.
Jack done a great shout out, drive is the best of all time car film
Definitely an improvement!!
Also proof that this channel doesn't need Alex to make great videos
i really rate all the mods you've done here! nice work
Great job guys😎🔥👌
Love it guys! Bring it down to sunny Worthing by the sea!
the Juicebox reference 😂😂 she's got mint pockets laad
what this needs is a giant rallycross style double wing and wide body kit. Just makes everything look infinitely cooler. And I wanna see you fabricate that stuff :D
Love the content as always. Although it is rather lacking over recent months. 3 weeks since the last video! Come on guys, step it up, we wanna see more regular content! Miss Jack and Ethan’s banter during the long wait between videos.
I don't know if I should admit this, but, I like it.
It's cleaned up nicely, maybe venting the wheel arches and fixing the spoiler would add a bit of utterly useless sportiness to it.
Oh, and that VW badge on the front, either paint it black with crimson red inserts, or, paint it crimson and keep the black inserts.
A decent exhaust up next maybe? Make some pops and bangs!???
changing the paint is a must imo, other than that yeah its presentable sure if this is your first car
I did pretty much the same on my 2007 corolla... but I cut coils on the rear and inner fenders. I got a ton of compliments on my beater!!!!
Top Job Chaps 🤘
looks good now but I'd lose the yellow light tint and the neons put the spoiler back on and jobs done 😊
Bring back the Car Throttle podcast
It was the best thing about COVID
Looks strangely ok was expecting the cheap boy racer mod of an exhaust tip though 😂
10:37 In typical Car Throttle fashion...that tyre is on the wrong way around. LOL At least by 11:45 it appears to be all tickety-boo now. 👍
nice one boys and oddly It actually looks better!
Much better but missing a flower on the dashboard 👌🌻
I drove a rally spec Beatle. It was amazing.
That's actually not bad! Well done.
Mighty work, lads! 🚗 💨
Ethan has come so far yet there's still a long and winding road ahead to becoming a true car guru.
Looks awesome!
I heard that juiceboxforyou reference with the "pockets are mint laaad"😂
the jack and edwin and ethan trio is honestly even better than the one with alex was. it’s more low-key humour instead of the super over the top vibe alex had.
well done ❤
It's amazing what just a few things can do to make a car look better
Love the Snatch reference 😂
well done boys, personally think it would look killer on 3 spokes, but its still a beauty yeah.
I like the two tone paint scheme. Just removing the eye lids and the new wheels make a huge difference.
14:36 i smell a mystery as i think i have needed just seen a mystery machine... 😂 (on the right)
was worried when Alex left the channel would somewhat die. Im pretty happy to see the lads still racking in over 300k views per vid.
If the silver was wrapped black, I think it'd actually look cool, seriously. Those wheels are awesome for the price.
My mum has a beetle witth the same type of paint job but instead of a red its grey and i quite like it. Its a beast, lowerd with nice 15 spoke audi wheels. Its quite quick aswell
Damn good job on this one. For me the wheels and coilovers already make the biggest difference. Could be a little lower still :D
I really thought this channel would struggle with out Alex, but unlike WTF1 this transition seems really smooth and Ethan and Jack are smashing it, don’t get me wrong I like Alex but now I have double the videos!
Notification squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥 HAPPY EASTER!🐣🐣🐣
Great difference,nice ride!
9:27 Juicebox moment
And as usual New Beetle window regulator fail makes itself an appearance. Love the look you achieved!!! 👊👊👊👊👊
Juice box reference made my day, pockets ARE mint laaaad
Definitely 😂
Legendary,,,, I wonder what I'm gonna break today? ,,,, 😂😂😂
That transition from old to new… HARD!!
Wheels and ride height is the sure thing big changer on most cars but I also quite like the lower grille blackened and spoiler arrangement
Damn, this car is a guilty pleasure, the silver in black would look better. MaxPedo power!
8:00 Haha those wallies lying on the ground when the car is literally sat on a lift!! 🤦♂️
Wheels [tick]
Everything else [kills with fire]. 🤣
actually looks really good
Imagine if they made the main body darker it would honestly be funny yet sick at the same time
Ngl the yellow tinted headlight looks good 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Big up ethan and jack for keeping this going after Alex left
Not going to lie quite impressed with how that turd looks now. Crazy what some wheels and coilovers. And some little bit can do to a car tbh goes to show you don't need a massive budget to have something to look tidy again
This was a hilarious video, and I can't believe that the Beetle actually doesn't look completely hideous any more...
Looks awesome
You really did make a hideously ugly Bug into a cool looking one! All the mods came together sooo much better than expected! Good work 👌😅
