think I definitely prefer the valance from the r36 b7 so I'll try source one of those instead, thanks for the offer though like the mudflaps, they oem? good shout, hopefully in the next week or so i'll see if my engine has been rebuilt and if I have spare cash now i'll get the exhausts sorted at th...

thats good to know mate thanks, where did you source the valance? A friend who works for VW was able to get it for me from Germany, very rare stock. I'll throw the part number up later. Although it's a non UK part any dealer can order it in for you. From memory it should be around £100 although I g...

This can be done on any of the B7 estates. I have a new valance from a European market r36 B7 in the garage which has the holes pre cut either side of the valance for exhaust exits, have just never got round to getting an exhaust sorted. Currently having some issues with cylinder 3 of my tsi so may ...

Finally, had some time to perform a washing of a car after that looooong trip... It was much required as it hasn't been washed for over 3 weeks now One of the wheels b4 washing, and after BEFORE WASHING, yet it was already jetwashed IMG-20170808-WA0000-800x600.jpg AFTER IMG-20170808-WA0001-800x600....

Nice touches Raf, looks well as always

Looking forward to your next mods bro ;)

Would have been terrible to see them wasting away in your shed lol.

A lot going on July and August so next progress may be slow but as you know Raf it'll be worth it and look class

Washed it yesterday (finally) so it's looking fresher and closer to the ground. One quick snap on way into work. Some serious paint defects going on though, need to save up and get one of the detailers from the local forum over here to do some magic on it for me, even just a correction. http://img.p...

I'm happy guys, for now lol.

Some decent pics when I get it properly cleaned

So, finally got round to lowering the car. Got hold of Raf's old springs when he got new ones and they suit my wheel set-up great so I have no issues with rubbing etc. Height is perfect and still useable. Positive difference in handling is very noticeable and the ride is no worse unless it's rough g...

Hi Gaz.

My car is just the standard 1.8tsi se suspension setup, though it does sit pretty nice standard:

30mm would probably be enough to make it look nice and still be a useable daily, with that kit I thought having the matching uprated dampers it would ride well.

Any thoughts on these Raf? http://www.kwsuspensions.co.uk/st-sport-suspension-39189.html?typ=888 Anyone else used these? I know they are a KW brand so they must get some credit for that. No need for expensive coilover setups on a family daily, just need something to make it look better than it curre...

Is that still the PI springs in the car Raf? The height is perfect, what I'm after. Not sure what Brand to go for

This still doesn't look right?

Would a 3af807521b be the right part?

There seems to have been a few B7 Passat estates made, possibly in Australia/Germany, with the 3.6 v6 engine and a different rear exhaust valance with an exit each side, I'm looking to find the part number to see how much they cost if even still available. Pic for reference: https://data.motor-talk....

£40 to get them wrapped, 5 year guarantee, i'll be getting that done in near future.

Can get them done b6 or b7 style

Looking sharp, defo needs the bigger wheels though.

Thought about a set of lugano's?

I couldn't find a good set in N.I so settled for the interlagos.

B6 all silver rails do fit the b7, exact same roof.

They look better than the b7 part silver and black bottomed ones.

I thought about changing mine but a few companies have said they can wrap them for about £50, think I'll go down this route, at least £100 saved for something else

oh yes, good choice, I'm too ocd so i'll probably buy the pedals but you'll defo need the foot rest to finish it off: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151340125782?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Again, doesn't mention our cars but this is the one you need. Try gumtree etc to...

No worries, glad you got sorted! I hunted long and far for a good set of genuine interlagos wheels in N.I. Finally got some for ~£500 with basically new Pirelli's all round :-bd Wee pic to get your senses going lol: IMG_3079-2.jpg These links any use to you? I'm watching them til I get enough spare ...

They look spot on mate, particularly the first pic which is the view most people will have, for something that cost £15, not talking about a £600 system here lol.

Good work, whats next?

Poor if they have sent the wrong ones! These ones would 100% have fitted that I posted above before: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-CHROME-EXHAUST-TAIL-REAR-MUFFLER-TIP-PIPES-FOR-VW-EOS-PASSAT-CC-B6-ESTATE/401217999453?_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2...

I can't believe we are still worrying about this lol.

Feel the truth from another 1.8tsi owner, leave all the diesel boys to worry about their dpf's $hitting themselves and how black the soot makes their exhaust go

These will fit fine
