Thanks for the support, and that makes sense! I'll have to grab some from the store to put it back on in that case. That's a good guess haha. We shall see 😉
I tried the colour 'n drive kit, here is my result (BMW car - Marrakech brown) -The colour is similar but not quite the same therefore if you look at the car after repair, from 2 or 3 meters, you do not notice anything. If you look closer like 1 meter or so, you see the colour is different, (90% similar). Drying took 15 minutes and was ok. All the rest of the kit : clear solution , paste or wax are not that necessary to be honest. In conclusion, the car looks better after repair/painting but the result is not perfect as the colour does not match perfectly even though similar. For 50 euros, you cannot expect the same as it was before.
Glad to hear you are liking the videos! And yeah my winter tires are studded haha. Fantastic on pure ice but terrible on the road. Thank god I've got nice summer tires on it now haha. Thanks for the support:)
Avoid like the plague! They flat out refused to ship my order to the address I provided for no legitimate reason. I was also promised a refund which have yet to receive. I reckon it's a scam! If the refund doesn't go through by the end of the week, I'll file a dispute via PayPal.
Thats a great point about the whole body. From what I found online, most sites claim the skirts are aluminum. The rust makes me doubt that info though:). Thanks for the support!
@@HunterDirection sorry for asking, but how do you know when to service your turbo, check your xlutch mastersylinder etc, because I bought a 2001 225 tt, drove it for 3 weeks and it broke, and what km do you get per L? I get 8km and that is way to expensive for me I like your car allot, keeps me motivated to keep mine, keep up the good work please 🙏
@@00grootbul hey no need to be sorry for asking at all:) I'm happy to offer my thoughts(I'm just an enthusiast though). As far as my fuel usage i average about 23mph (~9.77kpl) when I'm not driving aggressively. As far as the service intervals go I did some research for you, anything clutch related usually depends on how the previous owner treated the clutch(launching and harsh shifts put tremendous stress on the systems and reduce the lifespan) as a general rule of thumb you can replace the fluid in the clutch master cylinder every 2ish years or when you find debris in it. Turbos are also a bit finicky when it comes to when they go. If the previous owner took care to warm up and cool down the car before hammering the throttle they can last a bit longer. What kind of symptoms are you having? The engine has alot of protective measures to prevent the turbo from blowing... Though if it's leaking or smoking you may want to get it checked out:)
@@HunterDirection for starters my turbo sounds like a supercharger 😂 Allot of turbo lag Turbo stutter when I press the gas pedal al the way down The engine makes a weird noise (like a grrrr-grrrr-grrrr sound, lol) almost sounds like the engine is loose And now my lights won't work, they used to work but just decided they didn't want to work anymore, and I've also noticed that the buttons that open the fuel flap, boot etc also don't want to work, and when I disconnect and connect the battery, the buttons work again And the peep-peep-peep noise that always comes on when I start to drive, I have no clue what could that be This is al the problems that I noticed on the tt, I am currently trying to repair everything but I'm on a budget as I'm living on my own, so I have to save up for al the expensive parts I watch your videos every time I'm stuck on something, it really helps me out, I wish you could come to SA and help me fix my car, lol So please keep the videos coming, I'm sure it helps allot of people, not just me
Option A for me personally, looks like it could have easily come from the factory like that but will stand out nicely from other TTs.
Thanks for the support! I love that about option A as well! It's subtle and different :)
Great Video again! The foam you talked about is part of the rust protection. My guess for the next episode is new tailights :D
Thanks for the support, and that makes sense! I'll have to grab some from the store to put it back on in that case. That's a good guess haha. We shall see 😉
Please keep this up, I love the content!
Thank you a ton for the support! I am happy to hear you like the content:)
Hey, what temperature was it when you did this? I live in pa and I was thinking about putting mine on right now it’s about 45-35 ish in December
I tried the colour 'n drive kit, here is my result (BMW car - Marrakech brown)
-The colour is similar but not quite the same
therefore if you look at the car after repair, from 2 or 3 meters, you do not notice anything.
If you look closer like 1 meter or so, you see the colour is different, (90% similar).

You have studded wheels - I'm freeking out. Greetings from another TTer from Finland. Great content, keep up the good work.
Glad to hear you are liking the videos! And yeah my winter tires are studded haha. Fantastic on pure ice but terrible on the road. Thank god I've got nice summer tires on it now haha. Thanks for the support:)
Option "A" for the win!
Thanks for the support!
Side skirt A and B both look nice I’d say B just to make it not look totally like standard
my sideskirts were full of dirt too, i suspect many of these cars may have spun off the road at some point :P
haha yeah I could see that :) glad to know it's not just my car that had dirt in there
Version A. Nice video.
Thank you so much:)
@6:10 of this video to me it looks like you have a screw of some kind in you tyre. Thats if its a tyre im looking at.

Car looks great
Thanks! I was really happy with the results as well!
Go with B, it looks nicer
I like b a lot too:) thanks for the support!
Option B
Yay, I'm glad option B is getting some love too! Thanks for the support!
Option A
Thanks for the support! Option A is great!
The body is not made of alluminum :) Maybe the side skirt is though, but i dont think so because they do rust.
Thats a great point about the whole body. From what I found online, most sites claim the skirts are aluminum. The rust makes me doubt that info though:). Thanks for the support!
A wil look better
I like A alot too :) Thanks for the support!

And the peep-peep-peep noise that always comes on when I start to drive, I have no clue what could that be
This is al the problems that I noticed on the tt, I am currently trying to repair everything but I'm on a budget as I'm living on my own, so I have to save up for al the expensive parts
I watch your videos every time I'm stuck on something, it really helps me out, I wish you could come to SA and help me fix my car, lol
