Re: Previous Cars

I used to be like that myself, I would get a car and keep it for a few months then get back onto Gumtree searching for people looking to swap other models, The buzz of picking up a different car and driving it home is addictive. I always came back to Passats. (Have to agree about Alfa's, I had a 156...

Really Nice, Does not need a thing. Wheels are perfect.

You should keep the wheels you have (Nicer than the Merc wheels in my estimation), They look proper smart.

Re: how to tell a 115 and 130 apart

Look at the TDI lettering on the back of the car to figure out the BHP

If only the I is red its likely the lower BHP is around 110, if the DI are both red its in the 130bhp region if i am not mistaken.

Re: Anyone regret changing grill?

No regrets here but mine is a B5, I think its likely best to get coilovers and the wheel set up you are happy with before going for a badgeless grill. The Grill adds a subtle touch to a already nice looking wagon but it does nothing for a car sitting standard if you ask me. I think FK and Jom both d...

Re: B5 Estate.. Barge Now Lowered etc. Pics.

No more plans straight away, I will probably get spacers, Radio cable fin and get some supplies so i can keep the paintwork in good condition. That said Once i have got Spacers something else will likely pop up as is the way once you start these things.

Re: passat on ebay

I am not even sure i would recognise this was a Passat.

Why take a good looking car like a Passat and make it look like a Nissan that Flash gordon would drive in.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder i guess.

Re: Getting a B5 Estate (Pic Included) Which Springs?

Thanks for the Advice, I have decided to just hold my horses for a week or so and get Coilovers which seems wise.

18s, Badgeless grill & Coloured interior lights are on my radar asap then headlights later., I will put up a build thread when i get things moving.

Thanks.
