Congrats on the car its insane 😍👌👏👍
No on the spliter
Need to blacken the badges get rid of all the silver murder it out in black bits
No to the splitter, another great video. 😁
Definitely needs the lip kit on!!
Thats a pretty fancy Mahk 8!
Gotta see that JB on the R...😁😎
😂
Deutsche autoparts, humble mechanic/ mcm collaboration!!

@@cowmath77 too bad nobody cares what you think, champ 🏆
I'm a yes for the lip kit. Personally, I would have gone for the TRC lowline kit but it definitely looks better with one on.
The detailing montage was almost my favourite part. Everything looks so clean and perfect after the process!
The music for this episode is amazing at the end, on its own it's an incredible piece of music, but it really works so perfectly for that part of the video. Mad respect.
Very kind thanks mate!
@@mightycarmods such a chill vibe in that cleaning vid
@@mightycarmods can I pay you money to listen to that somewhere?
@@Bleechers PLEASE!
@@Bleechers Lots of the music is on Apple Music, Spotify and streaming platforms under 'Moog'. Cheers!
The clear film wrap is the most interesting part to me of the detailing process. The time it takes to make that look as unnoticeable as possible is wild. Car looks amazing! DO THE LIP KIT!
Wonderful 😊😊😊
That B-roll footage, the editing, and the amazing work by the guys at Sydney Premium Detailing made for some of the best looking car content I have ever seen on RUclips. I am in absolute awe of how amazing the car has ended up looking. Massive props to those guys and what a homage to them through this video. They couldn't have asked for a better commercial.
The moment I saw those black tips on the car and the new wheels I immediately loved this car. Absolutely perfect.
Adjust the tip ;)
5 minutes into owning a new car and Moog already put cable ties on it, DIY tuners around the world are so proud right now 🤣. Joking aside the car looks awesome. But Moog you said to vote around the lip kit but you only showed the front lip, it’s hard to say unless we see the kit as a whole. I think the front lip is fine but it’ll come down to if you can live with the OCD of the logo being offset 😂 I personally like the offset logo.
perhaps carefully peel off the logo and re center it in the middle
@@brunostiglitz7535 or just remove the logo completely. Who wants an ugly logo on their car?...
Golf 4 life
I think the offset logo is ment to be offset actually. Because it would look dumb in the middle.
I love this car so much i could honestly say its my dream affordable love the mods youve done it looks way better i enjoy your vids so much
Lol you guys made me trade in my 2019 STI and buy a 2019 Golf R, now I have a 2021 STI and you're making me want to trade it in for a 2022 Golf R thanks a lot MCM!
I generally follow the "less is more" philosophy, but I vote yes for the front air splitter. Adds an aggressive look and really complements the wheels. (Also prefer the badge offset vs centered.)
Looks better with the splitter for sure
Yep, same here. Less is more guy. Definitely the lip looks great tho, I'd put it on.
Great result! Love the OEM+ look personally as well. I would go for the frontlip, which makes the front just a bit more aggressive, and it seems like it would frame the front entirely. But hey, it's your goat, so float it as you please! :D
When I first started watching MCM 10+ years ago I was broke and sad driving my Civic Hybrid with its poop CVT. A decade and a Ford Focus later, I put my name down on a Golf R shortly before it came to Australia (I live in Canada) and picked it up two weeks ago. This also was the first time I ever bought a new car --due to the whole being broke thing. I definitely must've been influenced by MCM to end up going for such a specimen of a car and am stoked to follow Moog on his journey modifying his Mk8.
enjoy your new car mate
I did the same 3 years ago with the mk7 golf r series .Bought it , than straight to stage 2 more than 12 grands in mods . best choice of my life run 11s 1/4 mile hope you enjoyed it ! Hi from Canada(quebec)
what color did you get?
@@TheG60528XiJinPing Went with the lapiz blue. It really does look even better in person.
@@GhostReaper5.0 I'll be doing that too at some point. Right now I'm just enjoying driving something that doesn't take 10+ seconds to go from 0-60 lol. Also hi from BC!
I think the lip looks good ... and I don't think the logo offset is a mistake since it sits right at that corner spot .. great car and good luck with it :)
From seeing loads of cars with a Maxton design splitter, most have an offset logo. Even my KSB Splitter on my golf has a logo sat on one side
I peeled the sticker/badge off the Maxton splitter I got for my wife's Civic.
Do it! I have just brought the full Maxton kit for my Tesla Model S so would be good to see you fitting it before I attempt mine
Yeah surprised you didn't install the lips Moog!
Yh it's just a Maxton thing
I remember when you guys were painting plastic trim and brake calipers on your drive. Now you're taking delivery of a new $60k car in your massive workshop. Crazy how far you've come, love this channel.
I've had a few sporty Golfs in my time but have to say this looks great.
What I also like about your videos is how inclusive you are when it comes to society's less fortunate.
Nothing says tolerance, consideration and a willingness to help, more than letting a guy from Yorkshire work on your car.
Ba ha ha ha.
Pretty much spot on Re mods.
- wheels/tyres
- coils or springs
- lip kit
- exhaust
Transforms the car
The video of how to perfect your golf R, this is absolutely spot on!. Good job guys
I think the lip kit is a go. I also actually like the offset badge on it
Adding lip kits is a trend that should have died years ago.
@@themarauder6108 to each their own. I do agree to some extent. I feel like it’s very dependent on what car it’s going on and the style of the lip. For example, half of the ones made for my ‘19 Civic Si just look plain stupid.
@@enjoiLife198 , There's a kid that lives near me who's bolted one of these kits to his Yaris along with a loud exhaust, it looks and sounds ridiculous.
Rip that badge off!
Yup, I'm normally super conservative around these things, but it's a nice looking lip IMO.
These modifications to black wheels and black mirrors make it look more aggressive. Perfect
Take away the limited revenue MCM gets from RUclips, merch sales etc. Both Marty and Moog are very talented music professionals, the fact this is the first brand new car MOOG has purchased, speaks volumes of his character. That's why l continue to support THE GREATEST 4WD'n CHANNEL ON THE INTERNET!
His first new car and it's not an outrageous super car like most RUclips car people get. I'm glad he went with the Golf R.
Don't forget the sponsors and I bet they get plenty of free stuff sent to the guys, bet the people in this video did it for free or for a much reduced rate for the exposure, plus I bet Miltek sent the exhaust as a freebie....but I could be wrong.
Not taking anything away from the guys, love their work but there is more going on in the background than you and me realise.
They have a HUGE following not only in Australia but ROW (I'm in the UK) that's a huge amount of exposure for any brand (They are definitely influencers in the car world)
All the way from South Africa. Love this show. Been following for years!!!!!
Paulie would agree, sure he is from mzansi. Accent wise. Correct me if I'm wrong
So happy for you Moog. A new car for a champion of a bloke sharing your mods journey with us. The new mods make the car stand out even more and the final TLC on the paint job was next level. The lip kit could be the way to go!
Honestly that lip kit looks pretty cool, though I would remove the badge completely.
Detailing vehicle is absolutely a modern art that is underappreciated, especially the skill it takes to wrap perfectly a brand new car they've never touched before.
31:50 Whenever this track starts... makes me wanna live life to the fullest... thank you moog and marty for an awesome channel with amazing content and music.... you guys are one of the best things that ever happened in my life... cheerss ❤
Loving that color Moog. I'd say give the lip a try. Maybe just test fit it with a couple double sided pieces of tape. Then if you like it, make the install more permanent. Beautiful car though!
Lip on, IMHO
Those stock MK8 R wheels are beautiful. I love my Belvedere wheels on my MK7.5 GTI Autobahn. I think VW has some of the best looking factory wheels.
@MCM - you should grab an OBDeleven which will let you easily adjust change car settings. From enabled undertake with ACC, to adjusting the speedo calibration and everything in between.
Best thing I ever purchased for my golf!.. Changes that are a must do,
- disable starting vibration reduction (stops the car from applying the brakes if you get any slight wheel slip, which causes the thudding)
- enable press and hold lock/unlock on key to wind windows up/down.
- allow door locking while engine is running.
- enable a selection of colours for the dash/infotainment accents.
- disable start stop at all times.
- don't turn off DRLs when indicator is active.
- disable menu/input lockouts while driving.
- enable undertaking while using ACC (the car will literally slow down to the same speed as a car on the right, rather than continuing past).
- set soundaktor percentage (0-100%)
- change throttle input curve to "direct" (by default the throttle ramps up and down in attempt to smooth the drive).
It's really endless.
I might have to get that, thanks man
Love the WRECK IT on G8R.
Quick thought, maybe consider spray some black heat resistance paint on the inside of the exhaust tip to cover the metal tubing. Was quite noticeable whilst pulling into the detailers
Came to the comments looking for this. Small details that matter.
Just bought my MK8 a few months ago. This has been the best video I've watched so far. Excited to mod mine evventually. Your R is dope
I’m glad the aftermarket’s finally caught up to some of the little things that used to be prohibitive. Like valved exhausts and electric dampers and electric parking brakes. I thought the ground effect kit looks great minus the offset badge. Nice and subtle almost factory look with the matching gloss black.
I was hoping he would list spring kit specs and brand. Perfect height and stance even with the stock wheels and tires… that was the main reason I watched this video!
Same here. I am desperately searching through the comments but not finding anything.
Uff the last bit! Ceramic and film coating made it look newer than new and..fancier!
Im with you on the gloves. I know its a safety issue but I've been turning wrenches over 20 years and the feel isn't there for me. Also, my hands sweat and I hate that wet glove feeling. Great content as usual. Grats on the new car.
I sometimes use gloves, but they usually shred themselves within 5 minutes...
ive been doing it a few weeks (just started as an apprentice) and i hate gloves. ill only wear them with brake fluid stuff because it irritates my hands
Get some better quality. MAGID polyester coated industrial assembly gloves are pretty good, and like $3 a pair.
I've been watching since the driveway, really proud of ya'll for having that amazing garage. Ya'll are the only youtube channel I actively buy merch from. Greetings from Nashville, TN.
Love it! I own a '16 Mk7 Golf R. Love my 6MT; wish VW continues making them in manual transmission! Enjoy it mate!
Love the content, but personally I think the maxton design bits can sometimes makes cars look a bit tacky, sometimes their products look cheap
The hardware certainly looked cheap as it chinced across the floor.
I'd be straight off to the stainless nut and bolt supply for some 304 (minimum) grade hex female pan heads and ancillaries.
maxton are cheap chinest crap bro
Anything after market on modern cars look tacky, they usually look as good as they can be from factory which is why the modified car scene died
@@mrcaboosevg6089 looks are subjective to everyone. Talking from out your bum there fella
Loved the genuine delight on your face as you lowered the car down after installing the Milltek, Moogs. Using the old wheels with some dedicated tyres for the track?
Very tasteful mods (even if i do prefer blue/silver vs blue/black!). Correction and film makes it look spectacular - front lip and skirts will top it off, I think. Congrats on the new .:Ride!
When I finally got an opportunity to buy a new car for the first time and I also got the Mark 8 Golf R; congratulations! Thank you for your amazing videos; it definitely helped me make my decision.
I’m not personally a fan of brand new cars, I’m not into the muted sounds, electronic handbrakes dsg gearboxes etc…but no one can deny that your new golf looks banging!
Very nice package all round, super clean 👌
Couldnt think of anything worse than driving an older, loud, manual car for the daily commute...give me fast, refined, modern and loaded with tech for the daily grind. The more visceral manual cars are for the weekends.
@@ronaldov09 Each to their own, totally understand the comfort and refinement for daily working, I’m just old fashioned having grown up racing go karts, I’d take the loud communicative car every day of the week I can’t help myself.
I drive a V5 2.3 manual with loud cat back everywhere including work.
Jeez I've not tuned in to MCM for a while, its like its turned into a QVC shopping channel.
Love the new Golf, had to be Lapis 😁
As for the lip kit, it's a no from me. Just don't think most cars need it. See a tonne of Focus STs over here in the UK on the owners page I'm a member of with them fitted and just think they look really tacked on and don't help the overall look. It's the main reason I've kept it off my Mk3. But each to their own 👍
I didn't know the mk8 existed, after waching this vid i want my first car to be this beast
That MK8 Golf R looks amazing Good Job Moog Modifying and it will goes really fast at the race track road Make 320HP on Dyno Well done👏👏👏👏👏
That tiny license plate in the front looks so much better than the shoe box sized ones we get in the states
Love that the valve system in that golf R is exactly the same as my MK8 fiesta st. Just a note for the valve, after a while the spring compresses too much and it gets rattly when the valves shut. If that happens put a little piece of rubber in the motor side, it helps. Had to do it with mine with the miltek exhaust.
I like front spoiler on better
Your original Golf build is why I recently brought a MK7 Golf R.
Just finished work on my own car to see a upload from our friends from Australia 🦘. Today is a good day!!
Keep up the awesome uploads! Been a subscriber from the first hour. You guys inspired me to do all work on my car myself! Thank you!
Kind regards from the Netherlands
This channel is a youtube classic. so good to see him in sonething fresh
Pually the real mechanic sounds suspiciously South African
I think he is
What's your mechanic in the shops accent? So interesting. I'm guessing parts of Australia (Maybe he's from New Zealand?) has different accents by region like here in Canada.
South African. I'm from Cape Town/Durban myself.
Sounds like a South African accent to me.
Defo S.African accent.
...we sure do stick out dont we? 😅🤣
Ahh, thanks folks! It's definitely a unique one I wouldn't hear often.
This video didn't feel like 38 minutes, loved it!
So good to see you remedy the mistake of getting rid of your previous Golf R... The Audi didn't quite cut it. I think the White GolfR was my favorite build. It was a good looking daily with heaps of Power.. It is quite amazing how much larger the new exhaust is than stock. It sounds a bit more aggressive but it sure looks a whole lot better. Your anti chrome stance is growing on me. The drop was a bit low for my taste but it is your ride. I knew as soon as I seen the car in the dealer those mirror caps were getting altered. Are the new wheels and tires lighter than stock or is it just cosmetic? The KIT always seems to fit Moogs personality and it does look better when he's done most of the time.. Now add the Chopped Sticker.. I can't wait to see Marty get to go full Mark8 mods on the MIRA - Scion - Toyota... Oh whatever that 3 cylinder nugget is. Note: I guess if your going to pay that much for a car and then put a substantial amount of money into modifying it you might as well go the extra mile and protect your investment. I don't think my car is worth the amount of money that was spent on the mods and protection which is probably why I like watching this show.. Nuggets to exotics.. so much fun. Thanks and best wishes on repairing the vandalized GTi-R.
These Revo wheels are supposed to be lighter than normal, it's from their new lineup if I remember correctly, plus they're forged, so that's also nice
@@bleachyunknown2000 Thanks for the reply. I haven't bought wheels (or a new car) in so long I just wasn't sure how light modern wheels would be, especially on a vehicle like the Golf R.
I remember watching you guys working in the driveway. I'm so proud of you guys 💪💕
Edit: Also, the stock exhaust tips look like something off a PT Cruiser or a HHR hahaha
Dude! I thought the same thing, haha 😂.
What intake is that
Following also, i cant find it anywhere. Any luck?
Black tips on exhaust look awesome
Not gonna lie, never been a huge fan of the vw golf series, but this car... Is really quite beautiful. VW really out did themselves with this car, and even has an Audi quality interior. Stunning car.
my dad just bought one a few weeks ago. I drove it once and put in an order for a GTI. It's truly still a drivers car.
I actually love the silver mirror caps, am I weird for that? xD
Yup me too
Exhaust tips on the OEM exhaust, do indeed make me feel uneasy.
Hi! I'm not sure if you read comments, but I'm just really happy you showed that wheel & tyre. I totally understand the tiny little drop :)
I miss the original MCM intro music! Was so iconic and still is. Bring back the old MCM intro music pls!
Black wheels are outplayed, would have been real baller to see those revos in white!
Front splitter is a staple in euro mods, specialy on Golfs. Done since the mark I & II in the 80s, classic.
i remember the first time i watched this channel was when they made a golf (budget street cred) and actually stopped watching youtube all together for years, here i am, after 9 years, watching them do another golf, shit is crazy
Nasser Hussain’s long lost brother found. He’s living down under, tinkering with cars! (Doing a cracking job, I may add!)
Much love from Kenya. So far my favorite car mod channel!
i was super skeptical about color correcting a brand new car but holy shit that came out beautiful.
The blue rgb lights make it look so much sexier
I just bought a 22 Golf R yesterday, I cannot wait to pick it up!
He sounds so excited and I love it.
Dankpods fans when Moog pulls off the cover. "A braand neew nuggg"
Just fitted PS5’s to my M140i. Massive improvement 👌🏼
I'm just accidentally seen your video but honestly it's pure enthusiasm, ✌️thanks to a youtube algorithm for bringing me here 😅. nice car man thanks😉
The MK8 Golf R doesn't come with gas struts from factory as the way they are fitted on the GTI and other models means that in a crash they can be pushed through the bulk head and into the driver or passenger. The fitting points are there for them as the shell is the same as all other MK8 Golf models
Kit must go on man looking fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯😈
Gotta love a South African mechanic all the way in Australia🤣😂
Had a mk7 done like this and swore I’d never go back… Thought I’d grew up have a S6… I am now searching for a mk8 as I watch this 😂 You have great taste mate
THE lip looks amazing
Hehe got my MK8R back on Feb 28, and immediately ceramic coated/PPF, did wheels, tires, mirror caps (CF replacements), springs, tinted, hood strut, and blacked out reflectors that we have in North America, and had planned to wrap the roof in black as well. Haha almost same mod choices!
Just a quick mention on the badge of the front lip, it’s a common thing done in the uk my TRC front lip had it however my maxton rear diffuser badge was central
I think MOOG should have his own side show, really enjoyed hearing about this model of Golf.
Looks amazing! I was almost definitely sure that you would change the emblems with the black ones. But still, it's beautiful! I honestly would prefer the lip kit without the logo or at least properly positioned. The logo on the lip kit looks a bit bigger than it should and stays under the bumper.
Had my Porsche Macan S (Similar Colour) wrapped in a TPU wrap from the US 2018 it still looks awesome.
I like the oval exhausts, but your right chrome is dead, black is the future love the fact that you take a BRAND new motor and say, “no this is wrong, make it better” keep going guys, love what you do!!and ps love those wheels!!!
33:21 For a second I thought Moog was about to start spitting bars when the beat came in. Also it's nice to see that the VW emblem boot handle mechanism gets stuck like that even on a brand new golf R
The black tip exhaust looks great 💯💯
The Hood Gas Strut is standard on the VW Mk8 for the US Market. "Long live VW Mk6 Golf."
Not a big blue car fan but VW has a NICE color there. Love what they're doing in general with car colors these days
Can’t miss that awesome silver Ferrari TDF in the background
With that WD-40 collection I wouldn’t doubt him having UUD-40
My GTI. MK 7.5. Has bonnet struts and so does the R in Britain, good vlog bob
The Maxton Design lip logo is meant to be where it is. They have it offset as that's kinda their standout feature
YES YES, great show the golf R is beautiful, love the show from Gippsland.
I use the plastic stick to remove the mirror glass (worked at a Audi dealer as mechanic).
I completely agree with your concept of "Not lowering the car too much". I also agree it looks like sh!t so slammed one must worry about rubbing when going over bumps... it's ridiculous. But hey... to each their own. 🙂
Also, I would have put the newly-styled VW logo center caps on those REVO wheels. I think they would pop much better! There is not a lot that pops about those REVO center caps. But hey, again, to each their own, good friend! The REVO center caps don't look bad... I just think they new VW caps look better.
Awesome ride, awesome mods... I enjoyed the trip! I'm a bit envious right about now! 😛
Such a fun video to watch and all the music is surprisingly excellent putting me in the vibe
Great video ,any more times u want to tell us that it’s a brand new car Mabey
Great car Mog ! Now unleash the POWER ! :)
