Before you give me shit for how terrible i am at bodywork 😂 Remember i put these videos out for your guys entertainment and i like trying new things and think its cool for you guys to enjoy it with me. The 1 series is a really cheap car and so is the bumper, obviously i wouldn't be going near a Ferrari with my bodywork skills. Enjoy guys respect the effort 👍

Invest in a decent wash mitt. The yellow sponge is so bad for paint work and probably vinyl too.

Mate you know you can buy specially made Audi TT MK3 body kits for you MK2. Fit them and your MK2 looks identical to an MK3. I’m tempted to do it myself, don’t care if people will hate on me when they find out haha, just like getting an MK3 for cheap.

Looking good mate. Should look fine in the position it's in. Just installed an m sport rear bumper on my E81 and looking to get a 1M front bumper in new year. £50 was a steal... There over £250 on eBay.

Hello Mat, about BMW….what is your opinion about an N46 or N43 petrol with automatic gearbox and how easy is to replace a timing chain or injectors….or how easy is the access of different parts to change them? Thank you and respect your work! 👍😀🤘🤟 P.S. I would like to work with you for real
@darrylm799 ай бұрын
That was pretty cool. Never really knew how fiberglassing (or glassing?) worked. All the best guys start in the garage. I learned something today. Thanks, Mat - I know this is over 4 years old. I've been going backward in your playlists. Range Rover, to C63, to M5, to Audi TT to this one. Loving where you started and where you are now is a phenomenal difference.

Interesting and entertaining video dude as always. Just a small tip tho, avoid circular movement when you wash your car.. And start by washing to top and finish with bottom, that way you dont take dirty stuff from bottom and bring it to the top..

@Jamie7ee4 жыл бұрын
Nick Awad circles are no different to lines in terms of risking the paint, all that helps is that if you were to Mark the paint, any marks will be in lines instead of big crazy swirls carves in the top coat, when going in straight lines compared to circular motion.
