MY FULL ENGINE REBUILT AUDI R8 IS COMPLETE!! PT.8

[@aeroman5239]

Silver wheels will set it off just right.

[@GavB]

Agreed; very few cars actually look good with black wheels.

[@Frostyyy__]

Titanium !

[@petercrisp2573]

@@GavBnone do actually (my opinion of course), but its very personal. If someone likes it for their car, then that is what matters.

[@SavingSalvage]

As I’ve got older I’ve gone off black wheels too, think they only look good on white cars now.

[@satianable]

@@SavingSalvage I've always disliked black wheels silver really sets the car off nice gleaming silver.

[@karlswain658]

You’ve done an amazing job Dean, well done. Wheels should be silver in my opinion but it is definitely personal preference

[@karlswain658]

Plus get it on completion site 🤦🏻‍♂️🤩

[@LeeHewitt-d5j]

The V10 wheels in silver would just finish this perfectly.. Great job.

[@jamesb5127]

Silver wheels will look 😎

[@danielrickell7590]

Silver wheels, and chrome badges on the rear 👍

[@biglittlejohn2942]

Great job , carnt wait to see it all polished up ,,, and silver wheels too I’ll make it ping

[@RobertMarriott-b2e]

Silver wheels would look fantastic

[@markcrawford5098]

Sliver wheels and a medium cut compound and ceramic coating noticed some etching from bird sh1t above drivers door and maybe wrap the 1 piece of chrome black 16:13

[@4TheExec]

She sounds *REALLY GOOD!!!* Silver wheels will be best! Great work, and excellent video!

[@philwoods2534]

Silver and put the rear Audi badge back to chrome to balance the front grille - what a stunning car to own....

[@aahmet83]

Silver wheels 💯 Black wheels just don’t go!

[@markandbow5774]

WOW ! Sounds and looks awesome! Great series and I loved every minute. Smokey silver wheels for me.

[@BayLuke96]

Dean there's no doubting your immense hard work and commitment. Despite being a complete layman when it comes to cars, I love watching your videos and seeing how you rise to the numerous challenges you face. Your work ethic is exceptional!! All of that is great but please take it from someone twice your age, never overlook your family and their non-financial needs. YT algorithms are like a slave driver and you need time with your wife and kids. Providing for them isn't just a financial argument. It's about you being the father and husband they need and you only get one chance at that. What you do is inspirational for a lot of people but don't let YT get in the way of your family time. Look after your loved ones, devote time to them, carry on doing what you love and all the best to you!

[@SavingSalvage]

Thanks mate, I don’t work weekends or bank holidays! That’s my rule. So I tend to cram everything else into the 5 day week. 😄

[@lollahmedhotmailco]

Silver wheels please for when l win the raffle 🤞

[@BayLuke96]

@@SavingSalvage That's very wise. Stick to it, enjoy your kids growing up and impart to them your never give up attitude. :)

[@_Mark_H]

Silver wheels and a decent exhaust 😊

[@rickb296]

Leave the wheels black and paint the radiator surround black also. Full stealth!

[@stephenwilliamson1491]

Like the black on black stealth look 5 year ago might of went for silver but now black is were it’s at!

[@matthewthorp4727]

Silver wheel’s definitely 👍

[@geraldhill7671]

Definitely silver wheels will look great with glossy black bodywork. A great job Dean

[@RichardRoger1966]

I'd make that grill trim piece black. And recharge the AC... LOVE LOVE LOVE this car.

[@michealcunningham3869]

Absolutely fantastic Mate.

[@kevinmoffatt]

I can only join the queue to congratulate you; not in the least intimidated when faced with the huge task of rebuilding when the old engine was toast.

[@phllipster]

Defo wheels back to silver. Mega motor. Looks class

[@regginalego1984]

Leave the wheels black! Black out the grille surround 👌🏻 stealth 😎 maxton front splitter and side skirt extensions. Job done

[@MrXfasteddyx]

Great to see the r8 finished great job 👍

[@rjauto7215]

Keep the wheels black it looks fantastic .Good ĵob fella happy for you 😊😊😊

[@MisterHughie]

Wheels have to go back to original, black wheels cheapens it, congratulations on a fantastic rebuild 👏

[@seanfarrell6009]

I've never been a fan of black wheels but each to their own if you like them keep them if not get em painted, Next engine 6.0 w12 if you can find one

[@scottwilliams2870]

Nice work mate as usual.. Silver wheels and stock badges for me..

[@Leehuss5582]

Hats off to you A for that glorious rebuilt. She is a beauty BACK TO SILVER! really cant STAND black wheels as they hide the alloys which you really need too show..

[@martinnicholls1871]

Nice work Dean, Silver wheels for me !!!

[@pauloneill8912]

fantastic Dean, well done

[@kennedy369]

All black , great job 👍

[@Rich_padley]

Disconnect the valves and plug up the vacuum chamber, keeps the valves open!

[@mohammedhansrod3392]

Keep the black alloys, in my opinion they set the R8 off perfectly. Can't wait for the last video now.

[@AndrewMcGuire1]

Nice work Dean - you should be proud...and silver wheels for sure.

[@leeh6953]

Personally I’d put them back Silver, Great vid as always 👌

[@mortythealien2783]

this is the best car in the channel

[@macer20001]

Personally I would put the wheels back to an original factory silver but that's me, an amazing job and I've followed the R8 from start to now. Looks stunning mate.. 👌

[@ianwarriner8193]

Silver wheels Dean , lovely job 👍

[@kashkhan6425]

Another cracking rebuild👏 it definitely needs silver wheels to finish it off 👌

Silver wheel, kudos again squire!

You can't have black wheels on a black car for definate...So boy racer....They need to be SILVER..!!!?...Well done m8, great to see this monster repaired....🤔😳😏😏😀🇬🇧

[@TomDavies86]

Silver wheels 💯 would look a lot better. Do that and a louder exhaust 👌🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@steverogers7473]

Silver wheels Dean 👍

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420]

Silver wheels please. Refreshing to see a personal plate properly spaced on KZbin and looking good to my eye. Bravo.

[@rayhill1654]

Silver wheels please! My niece just bought a new Model 3 Tesla (yuck) in black but added the silver wheel option. They actually make the car look good.

[@j2a2y27]

What a quality bundle mate excellent idea and will be getting a few tickets!! Wheels silver 💯%

[@SavingSalvage]

Thanks mate 🙏🏼

carbon wrap the silver trim on the grill

Great work. Silver wheels

[@cp4512]

Great job, just turn the wheels silver now

[@davidscott1946]

Looking great 👍🏻 think silver wheels would definitely set it right off !!

[@mattw3641]

Silver to make black pop more.

[@dannyrs3382]

Get a topgear f1 exhaust. Comes with valve controller. Best sounding exhaust by far

[@jonricketts6570]

Great job Dean nice car the R8

[@steveegginton535]

You have done an amazing job rebuilding the R8 its a real credit to you. Not a fan of black wheels I'd put them back to silver. Looking forward to the road test.

[@ianrussell2816]

Awesome job on the engine rebuild , looks awesome now you have washed it and cleaned the engine bay. As for the wheels do them silver 👍🖐️

[@GrahamHazlehurst]

Tool Competition looks great got my ticket , Silver wheels

[@SavingSalvage]

Thanks and good luck!

[@paulgerard5413]

Amazing work Dean, your patience and dedication is astounding. That R8 looks so good, and as a compromise if you could get the wheels in the same shade of silver as the carbon fibre behind the doors I think it would pop.

[@Falconhunter276]

So nice, this has been a great series to follow. I personally would carbon match the silver front grille surround and leave the wheels if they're tidy enough. Sort the aircon out too, I bet its roasting in there atm.

[@martyb7554]

I take my hat off to you. Real Mechnics are rare today, most are just parts fitters.

[@thebrownthomascrown917]

That's a memorable car to me...came out the year after my first S4 Cabriolet...wife wouldn't let me buy it.

[@iainbailey9652]

Well done Dean, another stunning rebuild. I’ve really enjoyed this series, and, as ever gutted it’s come to an end, love your work ethic, can’t wait for the next ‘challenge’!.

Lovely Jubbly Dean, silver wheels for me, black just look old fashioned nowadays.

silver wheels for me for sure, talking about me, raffle that off - i'd be right in there as im sure alot of people would, but please make sure that engine is good!

Silver wheels 🤟

[@Metalmachinecrush]

Id like to see you tackle the Smoking problem on the RS6 now mate,.. love all your videos, following since the B8 RS4 engine rebuild. Keep up the great work.

[@markcfullam]

Nice work Dean - I think it might look better with silver wheels and an OEM badge on the back (in black). Interested to know what you did with the V10 R8 as you said it had gone?! Next car - what about a Bentley Continental v8 or even W12? Still VAG, and i think an older one is reasonable money nowadays!

[@l9jjp]

Great job dean . Love watching your channel .your a natural presenter. Should be on tv

[@Maradona1066]

Not all that interested in cars to be honest. But I find myself addicted to this channel 😂 keep up the good work Dean 👍🏻

[@vinkata]

Feels so good when you complete the job correctly and go for a spin 😊

[@jeremyhowes8059]

Back to silver. Great job.

[@einfelder8262]

Keep the black wheels, but put flat tyre black on to match.

[@jambacardi2474]

Deffo back silver with the wheels Dean

[@robtasker3209]

If you change the car into Dynamic mode the valves should open up assuming it has the sport exhaust from factory. I have a 2014 RS5 with virtually the same and assuming nothing changed, that should do it if you want the deeper grumble all the time

[@MARK-M83]

Loved this rebuild, one of my dream cars this since I drove one years ago on a track day. Looks like you could do with a skip and a good clear out though, looking at your garage in the background 🤣

[@anthonybrand6137]

Many congratulations Dean. All your hard work & perseverance with the engine/clutch rebuild problems has paid off! The car looks so different after a good clean, & for me, silver wheels would work so much better than black. One last point, are you going to upgrade the exhaust, as it seems very quiet for a sports car! Keep up the great work.👍👍

[@stevendunn7898]

Definitely silver wheels and new exhaust 👍👍

[@siweljdforp]

Great work, as usual, looking forward to seeing the pristine outcome; please don't change subtle finish alloys, please do complete the finishing touches and share the end product!

[@taxi1556]

Leave the wheels black it looks amazing well done

[@r8database]

well done, great job! btw your alarm horn (Part Number: 1K0951605F) sits in the trunk under the blower box. It is a common error that the battery leaks there and destroys the circuit board. The alarm horn is only heard when the alarm is triggered and is not the horn on the steering wheel.

[@jamier3936]

Dean I really enjoy your videos, it's clear how passionate you are on your projects, which is great to see. I don't normally enter competitions but I have to support you and it gives me a chance of winning. Good luck for the future Dean.

[@jimbojombo4464]

And here's me putting off changing a set of glow plugs on my nissan quashqi a your doing stuff like this amazing..

[@jimiblue1277]

Well done mate! Hope that smoke clears after a first proper test drve!

[@thomasfrancis5747]

I guess there were no small bits left over (as if!) Personally I would repaint the alloys in a dark grey to match the contrasting carbon fibre side trim.

[@steveng5503]

Well done mate… labour of love. Think viewers have also sweated hard with you on this one. IMO I prefer to see cars OEM and in mint condition. Any mods should be very subtle… maybe from a later model. I don’t think there’s that many wheel options for this model that are tasteful… maybe from a later model? I’d hate to see you move away from R8 wheels… IMO. ✌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@vocipico]

v10 plus with gated manual was the best car i've ever driven. if you'd get a chance, get one, for real.
