Re: Just did 2500miles to France
Halfords 580L. Straight fwd fixings, but its really best if you have two folk to fit it. 1 advantage the large one has is that you don't need to be too picky about how it all fits in. The lock is a bit sensitive, but works ok. We were able to lay out suit carriers over suitcases in it.

I an it for about 60k miles. Never missed a beat. Servicing? I just took it to VW dealer most of the time. Someime...

Re: genuine wheels vs repro wheels
I've jut bought another set of replicas. I hate them but having gone down that route a few years ago, feel a bit trapped (as well as (s)trapped for cash). The reps that most folk get for say 5-700 quid I belive are poo and just not fit for purpose. They need cleaned every week. Not many people can d...

Re: what type of AMG wheels is it that fit's a B5?
Doh! I didn't have email access over the weekend. These were exactly the type I was meaning and definately would have been interested, but I had to get solution asap and have just plumped for another set of RS4 replicas with falkens. I hate replicas as they're just not up to the job. Not many folk m...

what type of AMG wheels is it that fit's a B5?
I'm looking for 18" wheels. Seen a few chaps here with them, but can't find details on the type of offset or spacers required.

That was a bummer waste of time Danski. Hope all is well.
May the forced induction be with you, for a long time.

Re: Your Passat WOW factor
Definately raised a few eyebrows due to the semi-sleeper effect. "Oh no, we've just been out accelerated by a Passat estate!"

Try awesomegti. They should be able to source them. They got lexus ones for my 2002 estate. The supplier might not state it does 2002, but the earlier years still fit. Mr Awesome said they don't stock them, but they searched and found them from one of their supplier. Awesome said that whilst they di...

you'll get £30 if you are lucky. best thing to do is hold on to them. Typically we all end up getting replica RS4s or simliar and they all flake/get scraped etc etc . or you want a winter set and a nice summer set. The folk selling these replicas shoul all be lined up against the wall and shot. Or ...

You want to buy springs from the 'states?? Remember you'll have about 20% import duty to pay. What about your local tuning shop? Or, I'm sure there's a group buy, or trade contact here who will help. Lowering a 4motion is a brilliant way of improving it. Just go for it. Or, you can lower it 15mm or ...
