Wait till you find out some of those sellers are manufacturing goods for reputable brands that just buy from them and up charge for mufflers and all sorts of things
That is one of the nicest aftermarket body kits I have ever seen. The £10K to £11K is money well spent, especially when compared to £150K from Mercedes.
Do you know that the rear wing produces so much downforce that extra reinforced supports were installed in the trunk where the wing is supported? otherwise it will either break or bend the body.
And the extra front splitter is probably required to balance the down force or it may lift the front at speed assuming if it is actually adjusted correctly to make downforce rather than a be a air brake😊.
This is dam true with most manufacturers that create higher spec models that create more downforce. normally prefer to mount to rear quarter/ basically making it part of the chassis for strength.
@nickbs2286 there is an extra splitter on the black that can be pulled out from.under the other one. So this kit looks like a fixed replica of that. Imo. Carwow had a video on it
@@ayanpahloan1418 he is doing an Aston Martin yes... But in all honesty, it is not like someone invented rebuilding crashed cars... The Temu part is the same that is true, but it is probably good for the algorithm
bro this is one of the few creators that doesn't over-dramatize even the slightest problems, these guys just fix it and keep moving like nothing happened. Love the content my guy, keep it up
Just found your channel today and I can't stop watching. Watched the first part of this build today and im glad to see the algorithm brought me back to see the new one!
I'm surprised it fitted that well, i bought an office chair, i had to take out the hank bushes had to glue screw wood blocks pu in some new ones that were in the correct spot so the bolts went through an actual hole. Boy you have guts to take this on! Loving the videos, the factory has called in the day shift and they are ramping up production, they will have so many made by morning that next month they will be on Escort Mrk 2.
I mean look how the wing is mounted. Very huge forces will pull the blades up. The mount in the original black series was a difficult task for the engineers…
Ema say thanks for making these long videos where you do a lot of work on the car at once instead of just small little pieces of time I appreciate this form of entertainment and I will continue to watch forever
Probably for 5k more the Chinese can make a 100% fitment kit for this AMG. This is the proof that you only pay for the brand, and not for the real price of those Mercedes parts. It is well known that China can make quality parts or less quality parts depending on the price. You pay less, you get less quality, you ask for quality you pay more, but a motherload less than stealerships
That, it looked just like cheap plastic with a carbon fiber print. Also did you ever consider the cost of engineering, making molds, ... for the limited number mercedes sold? Lastly, rich people get a kick out of expensive parts....
Mate that is Gangster!! The kit looks mean and aggressive, suits the car brilliantly, it makes it look like a very expensive drift car!! Cant wait for paint!!👍👍👍
Just found your channel during the first video of this project. I gotta say. Mate as a car lover of 40 years. Which I say that cause I've seen a lot. But honestly you've completely blown me away! New subscriber here!
@@damvoo1still makes no sense lol why would temu sponsor him? I’m assuming it’s because temu brings in more clicks than Ali express would.. algorithm shit 🤷♂️
Chris you done amaziing bro. To get that kit to fit. It looks great and I cannot wait to see it finished from the body shop. Get the next PRoject in :D :D :D
Absolutely killed it on this one. Car looks amazing. On the introduction of this idea I knew it would be at least 150 grand for that kit from Mercedes I legit called it. And the subsequent decision to go the China route at first left me feeling a little icky but that finished product speaks volumes for the savings are insane you could buy another couple of cool cars for that money. Hats off man, I would whip it!
The AMG is looking really good and surprisingly the body kit is fitting up quite well considering that every kit no matter how good the quality is will always need a certain amount of fettling to get the gaps spot on!!
Playing I’m going to pop some tags while showing the temu kit on the car at the end had me rolling. Keep up the good work, I’m a subscriber for life now.
Congratulations Chris , you're the first automotive youtuber to devalue a crashed Mercedes-Benz to even lower before you bought it after you've completed rebuilding it by sourcing rebuild parts from china. Mercedes-Benz Germany would be so proud . I bet ya Misha would not get in it
@Chris_Slix you are right Chris, if that's what you want to do and you love that vehicle and happy with the final result, by all means, you keep it and drive it the only way you want. Nothing else matters. Also mate, good on you for making us videos , to help keep us entertained and inspired for keeping our own automotive projects and dreams alive. Thanks again
The car had lots of front end damage, perhaps that's why the body kit didn't quite fit. Obviously it's a knock off body kit and they usually come with issues but you didn't seem to look for any minor frame damage. 1 mounting point pushed half inch out of place can cause lots of lines to be off.
Can not tell you how much I was lookong forward to this follow up after the last vid! It did not disapoint 🙌 Can't wait to see what colour and wheels you go with... at LEAST a new full exhaust too, right? 🤞😁
Saw first video the other night. Subscribed straight away. Not everyone will own a car like that but the methods you’re using are achievable by many. Like it 😎
Chris, maybe making the body kits mounting holes ovals instead of leaving them circles will give you the adjustability that you need. I enjoy these cars so your video is fun for me. I can’t afford a car like this so the videos keep me smiling.
Might be good to put a bead of tiger seal between the body and rear spoiler bud, will really help seal it up and stop wind and rain getting in. Also stops any rattle. Definitely it’s a must to have in the shop, side skirts almost always need tiger seal just to help you get them on and not have them rattle.
This is turning out to be an amazing build! On the other hand, spoiler's just downright shit. Makes the whole setup look a lot cheaper than necessary imo. Maybe just replacing the spoiler with a more stock one would help a lot. Can't wait to see the details being added though!
@Chris Slix Try adjusting the bonnet latches. That might align the corners of the hood and the bumper better. Also the right front wing looked like it could come slightly out at at the back beside the door which would in turn take the very front edge in toward the hood more, closing that gap even more. That would also close the gap at the top of the wing and the door where it was wider and also bring it away from the bottom at the door, where it was too tight, making it a consistent gap all the way up and down between the wing and the door??? I would try all that stuff before any body work like sanding or filling, cos once u start doing that there’s no going back. Also if u need to take anything off for any reason, it will need to go back exactly as u did it first time die to it being sanded and filled… 😉
bro the part 1 was on my fy 2h ago, watched half, left the house, got back and when I finished part 1 part 2 had dropped 35 min ago. I am so happy
Lol i basically did the same
It’s will look awsome when all painted Chris 🏎️🏎️
Watched the last episode yesterday, woke up to this being uploaded :D
I watched part 1 just 10 hours before and when i woke up it dropped
Fr part. 1. I watched yesterday AND PART 2 todayy😂
finally someone who’s doing actual work and not spreading it over 50 episodes :-) well done for the sick build man looking forward to part 3.
Great video, except the lying in the title. Nothing is from Temu, it's all from Aliexpress!!
no work just bodging, channel is a rubbish

This comment is very true! I’ve read this about the black series GT. Up with this comment! Let’s gooo

I absolutely love that kit , aslong as the body shop get the gaps 100% it will look mega !!!!!
Great work Chris !
Please don’t go over 100 mph with this car
?
The kit will fall apart
I mean look how the wing is mounted. Very huge forces will pull the blades up. The mount in the original black series was a difficult task for the engineers…
Would be a nice find tho..picking the body kit up for free off the motorway?I'd be stalking him..
Its not probably even able to go over 100 😂😂
Ema say thanks for making these long videos where you do a lot of work on the car at once instead of just small little pieces of time I appreciate this form of entertainment and I will continue to watch forever
Actually surprised how good that kit looks for a mock up. Keen to see it with fresh paint will really transform the looks.
i know nothing about cars, but this series has me captivated, keep at it bigman

the real parts arent made of cheap fiberglass tho
and look at the quality of the kit and panel gaps😮 just like Armstrongs amg

It's all for RUclips who give a ****😂

Who's gonna tell him that the black series is significantly wider than that?
I can’t wait to see this after the body shop & paint job
To be fair the kit is turning out really good 🤩🤌🏼
Enjoyed the videos but again why does the title say Temu when you bought it on Ali Express ?
Either sponsored in some way or because temu is known for shite quality
@@damvoo1still makes no sense lol why would temu sponsor him? I’m assuming it’s because temu brings in more clicks than Ali express would.. algorithm shit 🤷♂️
Cos it’s “trendy” probably 😅 click bait
For the algos my dude 😂
its literally the same shit. temu, wish, aliexpress, dhgate all the same shit. its just chinese suppliers selling items worldwide
One of my favourite builds on RUclips at the moment

Chris hitting the algorithm 👌🏻👌🏻 nearly 10k subscribers since the last vid! Well deserved! 👊👊🙌🙌
Your presence on camera is a big improvement from when you started after quitting your Valeting job. Well done fella Loving the content 👏
10k kit and some sweaty work vs 150K, and it looks amazing!! Nice job!
Awesome vid once again Chris, it’s looking awesome and great to have a different RUclips build rather than Italian super cars
The AMG is looking really good and surprisingly the body kit is fitting up quite well considering that every kit no matter how good the quality is will always need a certain amount of fettling to get the gaps spot on!!
Its looking smart there Chris, leave that lower front splitter off though. It'll look even better with the paint completed. Keep up the good content.
Outstanding job Chris! I like your builds and especially your perseverance, it’s the red line through your whole channel. Keep it going!👌💪
perfect song choice for the reveal of the fitted kit at the end XD love it
TEMU rubbing their hands right now 😂
Ethan must b a great m8, he’s always around to help. When he’s not helping u, what does he do for a living..?
Nice video Chris you are coming a long way. Can’t wait to see it on the road.
Outstanding content Chris been waiting for part 2.
Ima gonna need to see if they make a raptor body kit for the F-150 , add a quick 3 inch lift, wider wheels and boom, mine should look like a raptor
From Australia: Great work can't wait to see finished car.
I just got done watching part one then this pop up earned my sub 🙌🤝
7:13 i'am this girl when my dad helping me with something i can't fix by my self
Best build yet
Fair play to you! Looking forward to seeing the end product. Nice to see a small creator with a big ambition! 🤩
Cant wait for part 3 !🎉
Great videos, goes into a nice amount of detail and shows us everything. Keep it up and don't change. 250k subs will come and pass easily 👌
Well done Chris the car is coming along nicely 👏 🎉🎉
That 10k spend for the kit was a great investment for your channel. Looking forward to the end result.
Awesome work on fitting that kit to the car, It's going to look amazing after the body shop pros have their way with it. Nice!
Thanks 😊
Relatable content. Could imagine myself buying a kit like this! (and then leaving it in the garage as it's too hard to get right)
