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!

Awe, even
Your boys out here looking for crash damaged citi golf, mans in the UK busy with a golf 8🤣
Same
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 😂
Great video as always Chris, and thank you for taking time out at Gravity on Saturday for a picture much appreciated mate
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!
Slowly becoming my favourite CZcams channel
It was nice to see you on Saturday and Sunday mate, mat's stand was crazy busy 😄
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
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
Watching all the way From Namibia, Africa Chris....Well Done💫💫
wow that makes us two bro...also follow Matt😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😎😎
The progress & content is mega. Definitely agree it needs some performances ‘spice’
Defo needs new wheels, exhaust and some lows and it'll be about there 👍
Hey Chris, when you decide to sell this GOLF, I am really interested to buy it.
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 👍🏻
I think put an aftermarket exhaust and you’ll love the results
Golf is Looking great with the new body kit, Defo needs some new wheels 👊🏻😎😉👌🏻
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.
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.
Car is looking great , brakes painted is a perfect match . Love all the builds so far
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
Need to get a resonator delete on it! Makes it sound 100x better. Keep the content coming man
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.
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
I've fitted a full body kit from maxton on my mk8, makes it look so much better imo
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
As usual love the videos. Must say I hate the standard wheels they let it down mega. But sure you'll change them
Looks great, perfect with the body kit which it should have from factory. Nice work
Those scissor lifts are neat 👌🏽
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 💙
Looking good, like the body kit. It looks rapid off the line.. Well done .
The side skirts look like the standard R-Line ones. It does look really good now :) :)
Tastful mods Chris - looks great 👌🏻. Looking forward to lowering and big wheels (and zorst)
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 .
glad your keeping up the work man!
Good job Chris…looking forward to the next vid 👍🏻
Decaf ppf removal and a remap, there’s ur performance car (x7 🤣) and some wheel spacers 😍 great build 👏
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
Get it remapped and get the loudest exhaust you can find 😂 job done
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. 😀
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
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 ! 😎
ive been hypnotized by a car air freshner
😂😂😂 it didn’t even clock in my brain until i started to edit it
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.
This kit with this colour 🔥👌 looks amazing Chris
Great video Chris ! You’ve come on leaps and bounds ! Love watching you 👍🏻
Fantastic, and love a footrest 👌
Awesome Chris looks awesome just need new wheels and a stage 3 💪
It’s doesn’t look like
A polo anymore. Nice job 👍👍
Fingers crossed that🤞 you get this beast mapped
Great Content. TR Hamza has done some proper mods to hes Golf 8R. Will be a total different animal with some hardware and software
that green t-shirt drove me back to old 350z😍😍😍
Big throwback
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
Smashed it on the rebuild, cars looking 10/10.
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...
I'm already looking forward to your next project...I think that means your doing a good job 😎
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 👍🇬🇧
love this series keep it up man🤩
Glad you enjoy it!
That air freshener was doing my effin head in lol
Great editing 👌🏻
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.😁
Awesome content south Africa is watching as always salute
Big love to SA you guys are amazing
Well played, all those extras set it apart from a normal ugly one 😅 keep it up man. Need me some of them quick jacks!
Definitely, the exhaust sound needs to improve Chris. Kudos Great Video
Didnt know you had a chanel mate. Watched you on Mats chanel now i have 1 more car chanel to follow. Subscribed mate ✌
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....
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
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.
I love your channel and I watch your videos every week🇿🇦
Thanks brother! 🇿🇦
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 😂
Should have got a carbon spoiler to complete the look. So far so good tho 👍
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💯😎
Been following you all the way from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Definitely air freshener needs removing lol... Golfs looking good 👍
Wing mirrors Black also
It aint boring, you’ve just got an low specced one. They do come with an aero kit like the on the gti clubsport.
Doing good Job looking really nice 👌 ❤
It might feel a bit faster if you put a bit less recline on your seat back and sit up straight 🤣🤣🤣
Again brilliant video 👏👏👏
Only a couple sightings of john, we need to see more of him
Get it tuned. You'll love it then
Yes been waiting on this
Looking good but could do with an Akrapovic. Which I believe is also a dealer offered upgrade for the mk8 along with bigger alloys👍👍
delete the center muffler and fit a milltek catback. then the sound is perfect ;)
Dude .. new rims !!
Soon 😊😊😊😊
South Africa approves📍...thanks for the amazing content
I love how the car looks
All the way for Bw 🇧🇼🇧🇼
That air freshener was doing my head in lol
Me too i didn’t notice until too late 😂
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
Much love here from the netherlands
Sending my love right back 🙏
I’d love to see the Renault Clio RS or The Megane RS as your next project.
Your driving position is nuts 😂, the seat is so far back your past the pillar basically sitting in the rear seats and steering wheel is pulled all the way out 😂
😂😂😂 it doesnt feel anything like that in the car it does look it in the video. Maybe its so easy to drive i could do it lying down.
@@Chris_Slix 😂😂😂
Raffle it!!
Love the content, did you have any issues with the front splitter catching on speed bumps etc
What you wanna do Chris. Is the next car you get, you wanna get a performance car 😂
Very smart car. Love the colour and mods you have made 👍🏻
Do a camper van rebuild/build
Carbon Baby!!!!!
The car looks much better. But, the recording shows that you are you seem to be sitting rather far from the steering wheel, which makes it look like you are just hanging on, with too much stretch on the arms. Especially when doing the acceleration test, this shows clearly. Check out how professional drivers sit. More straight up and closer to the steering wheel. Secondly, the rim/tyre combo looks way too tiny. Lastly, the car could be lowered a bit more. Keep up the good work !
