[@laur.an01]

Yo Mat, I gotta say that now as someone else stated, your level of production is rocking up through the sky so I think, soon enough, you wont be able to see my comm anymore. Just wanna say that because of you I upgraded some stuff on my a4 from 2010 (rs4 aftermarket front bunper) suspensions, tints, brakes, stops and so on but man, it just turns heads and I am greatful to you because I feel like I wouldnt have done it if I wouldnt have watched your videos. I feel like you helped me come out of my comfort zone and go for it, spend some money and make my car represent me. I just feel so much better when driving it now. It might not be a sports car, not even close, but man I feel like in a ferrari :)). Big love

[@redemptionx2918]

Couldn't have said it better! Got me really into my car as well. Upgraded my A3 8p to S3 8P Body kit and interior :) And feels like the real deal, even tho it hasnt got the power :P

I think the bonnet will look good with a different colour car, the silver paint just makes it look odd but to each there own.

Alex were all welsh lol what did u think of that bonnet mate u must have seen some dodgy carbon like me back in the day to never think it looks good surely ?

[@boastyy]

Springs should settle when you drive it. I would give it a week and see how much it drops. The springs looked significantly shorter but they are probably 20 percent stiffer, they might just settle to the desired height if you give it some time. I agree Eibach springs are great quality and are a great compromise for fast road/light track use but obviously you can't beat coilovers if you are planning to do more track work. The problem is you need an easily adjustable setup which are normally quite expensive if you want to use the car on the track and roads"especially our roads in the UK". Break disks should be fine as long as there is no huge lip on the edge of the disk, just upgrade the pads and brake fluid and possibly upgrade to stainless brake hoses for better pedal feel.Should make a huge difference mate.

The bonnet actually looks okay with the grey....subtle. I'll be waiting with baited breath for the wrap to see if I still feel the same. Good stuff Mat!

[@bazzaclarky7445]

Reckon the bonnet would look better if it extended into the panel around the grill. It would make the bonnet look as long as a Jag E type!

As said on your car .......MATT KZbin SENSATION........cracking videos the best car youtuber out there......keep them coming

[@anthonybrand6137]

Hi Mat, I actually like the c.f. bonnet, it looks subtle against the current colour of the car. Any final judgement will be after you've done the wrap! One other point to note.......cf can be brittle if subjected to high temps like the engine or direct sunlight, so keep an eye out for cracking.

[@kraigwalters8404]

Looks well. Glad it's being wrapped as it looked too similar to the original colour. Your deffo wrapping in yellow given the caliper colour. Liquid yellow like the Renault's 🙌🙌🙌. Enjoying the videos bud. Keep em up

Great production, great video and nothing but passion for motors. Black out the front headlights, badge and it be rude not to do the number plate as well and that'll set off the weaved bonnet a treat. Amazing effort with all the cars so far

[@stuartclarke8806]

Not sure about the bonnet Mat. Think it looks great in grey with the yellow calipers. Liked the Jose Mourinho water bottle moment too!

[@pitrasevo]

I would recommend using gold isolating foil on inside of the bonnet. A45 engine gets enormously hot, it is not good for resin in carbon fiber composite, heat can simply destroy it.

[@paullockwood7219]

At first, I hated that bonnet, but when you see it blend in with the Pan roof it works well. Nice mod. 👏

Bonnet looks class. If it was staying stock colour it'd need a gloss black upper bumper wrap to follow the lines but can't wait to see The wrap 👍

[@nigel100carter]

Hi Matt loving your channel . In this episode you have issues with your wheel spacers. I too went to fit spacers to a 2016 A45 amg for a customer from a local well known motorsport supplier with the same fitment issues as you had. I have a small engineering company and produce custom spacers and other motorsports parts. I'm about to produce two full sets for two A45s and if you haven't sorted yours as yet only to happy to give you a set too for your A45. Once we had taken fitment size from the one we have.

Lovin the Merc transformation, bonnet looks well sick. I’m not sure about rear lens tint though. Dimmed rear lights invites rear end shunt and it makes the car look well chavvy

Matt the bonnet styling looks good but please wrap it with the rest of the car !!

[@mrpatton01]

the carbon bonnet was a really popular mod in the 00's , it was more of a weight thing at first, offcourse it became more of a cosmetic mod later when people started carbon wrapping it instead of buying a very expensive carbon bonnet.

[@dontuno]

Bonnet reminds me of some taxi firms in the area where I live. Could easily leave that out but overall the car is looking very good. Another great video, keep em coming!
