Need B5.5 Chrome De-Badged Grille

Guys,

Need a new front grille in chrome and cant find one on ebay, they're all black. There's 1 chrome but its £70! I paid £30 for mine on ebay a while back.

Anyone know of anywhere that does them at a decent price?


Thanks!

Think My Coilover Shock Is Blown...?

Guys, A few days ago, my suspension started feeling very hard and lumpy. Roads i knew were smooth suddenly became all uneven and bumpy. Is this a sign of my shock blown? Its a coilover set up so can it be replaced and if so, does it have to be from the same brand as the coilover itself? They are TA-...

Re: Gibonz's B5.5 (3BG) Passat - The Pimp'ssat!

As I said before...phat! But looking at the side profile of the car now, I reckon you need something to bring the front down a bit visually. Maybe some sort of splitter, or something like big pete has? Dunno, am I way off here? Yeh i wouldnt mind a Votex style front splitter, like Big Rays, its jus...

Re: On board "computer" - range on a tankful reducing

This has been happening to me guys!

The highest range i ever got was 700! Now it goes to 450+

Could it be due to the cold weather and the density of the fuel?
