- Who doesn’t love a cheap modifications? Especially when it actually works! This week we take on a few of the cheapest handling modifications on the market to try and improve some of the weak points on this platform. Join me in this episode where we install the Whiteline anti loft kit and bump steer correction ball joints before heading for a 4 wheel alignment!

Yo where did this guy go ?
Love it as always buddy
I LOVED watching this series. The MK5 and MK7 is the coolest versions of the GTI.
I would recommend you to inspect the air and fuel system of the car, as you did not make the best 0-60 times in your other video. So carbon clean, injector clean and new fuel filter (very easy) should help.
BTW did you paint the front bumper to mimic an R32? Looks nice!
I’m in the middle of doin the fronts like you’ve done but with the super pro anti lift and I’ve got the Passat B6 control arms 😊
Great stuff geeza
Honestly bro I think a matted silver grill looks good on these cars but the bottom half surrounding of the grill needs to be painted as well. It just looks halfway done that way. As far as the control arms I went with the aluminum Passat control arms with solid bushings but honestly can't tell much of a difference. The game-changer though was the Passat aluminum spindles they actually shorten your steering ratio just a bit! 👍 and while you're changing spindles you might as well put in new wheel bearings. The spindles make the bigger difference of the two as far as the feel of the car
The silver grill is very Golf R32 esque...check that out in metallic silver!
Keep up the great vids. I did the whiteline rear roll bar too. Worth putting a couple of new drop links on the back whilst your in there. 👍
Might look into this, oem or adjustable links?
@@matimcfetridge Febi Bilstein 29461 perfect on my Octavia vrs & Eddy 30 using the middle setting on swaybar
Just done a wheel bearing on my 8p s3. spent 5 hours trying to remove the lower arm from ball joint.... smacked it with a hammer for ages then managed to use a crowbar. seeing yours come off this easy is a joke aha
It’s looking great and the mods are fantastic
Love the mk5 and I think keeping it all black is my personal choice.
Great work looking forward to the next episode:) Vdub
Yeah its getting there now, slowly but surely! Plenty more to come so stay tuned!
Looks good
I think you should do the front grill gloss white. Get a nice bit of contrast you want and a clean look. Bugger to keep clean but so it black 🤣
Sorry to say it but the front grill looks pooh in silver
I agree, it looks terrible.
Same
Haha dont be sorry, I agree. Its back to black now! I saw a picture of one and it looked good but once Id done it I couldnt help but think it looked garbage 😂
Any update videó on the 996 soon?
Took my golf to ring ring last month and was so much fun. Silver grill looks good but it think the bottom middle part needs to be silver aswell.
Unreal place isnt it. Just got a different buzz about it! I loved it before I did it but thinking all black for now
A beautiful car outside but so much rust under 😢
F**kin' UK weather
Was that a new drive shaft bolt🤔 I thought they were single use stretch bolts
Not liking the silver grill, blackout is better👌🏾😊
Hi mate
Got an Audi A3 8p 2l TFSI
Any recommended good mods?
I’m doing this bushing upgrade soon, and got some good brakes coming soon too
Anything else?
damn I got the same car but 1.2TFSI, how much mpg do u get?
Hi mate! Don’t suppose you know the exact silver colour you got the alloys done in? Cheers
‘Hyper Silver’ apparently 😂
Gud vid
About the silver grill : yeah look mate, remove the bloody thing.
No to the grill !!! 😢
Get Misha to drive it too
Haha dont know if Im brave enough for that 😂
I would go back to black on the grill. It look kinda tacky, to be honest.
Smoked LED rear lights would make this MK5 a lot nicer.
Are you letting Mischa drive your car?
Nooooo the front grill looks awful in silver sorry
I agree, looked better online than it did once completed. Back to black now 😂
Silver grill is a no from me.
It lasted a total of about 2 hours before it got painted black again 😂😂
