Misty/Yellow Headlights Restored on my B5.5 (HOW TO)

Hi Matt - 1500 was the roughest mate, for really bad headlights.

Re: My passat wagon - BIG changes!

Epic-ly COOL mate.

Now that you've "practiced" with the fitment of 20's, it's time to get some MONSTER DISHES! Hehehe.

Re: Kevy D's B5.5 Saloon V6 (New Photos)

Yeah 225/40 on mine and considering the wheels are 8.5" wide there's still a very slight, subtle stretch which looks ace. 215/35, jesus I bet they're barely on the wheel! LOL I'll try and remember to get a photo of the side-walls of mine so you can see how they look (might help you make a decis...

Re: B5.5 Bagged :)

Looks absolutely mint on EVERY set of rims you had - nice job!

If you ever decide to buy another Silver B5.5 - get in touch as I'm possibly looking to sell mine very soon (seen something I REALLY want :mrgreen: )

Welcome dude :ymhug:

Mmmmm, V6 TDi - I wanted one of those and ended up with PETROL instead :ymapplause:

Good look with the modding (and don't even TRY to say you won't change anything, we've heard it all before...... LOL)

YEEES! :-)
Very nice indeed.
Oh, just so you know, my 15mm spacers are on 8.5x18 so you'd prolly get away with 20mm and they'd look mint.
Sealing wheels, best thing I ever did... only have to clean then half as much now (and I'm OCD about my rims).

Ryan, I'm not sure that the pic of the dark green 5.5 is a JE Design splitter mate, it's more "round" like a Votex. I've seen the JE ones and it's a little too square at the bottom for my liking if that makes sense. Thanks for the suggestion though dude. JK, I feel your pain mate.... but w...

Yeah mate, 15mils front and back.

Sisson, next on my list mate..... colour coding all the black bits and fitting a Votex (rep) front splitter, or a Reiger one, I'm undecided at the moment.

Oh, and it sailed through it's MOT last week, BUT I got an advisory because the spring seats are only 2mm from the driveshafts and there's evidence of rubbing....... damn these 4Motions! Looks like the rear can't go any lower :roll:

How long have you had them in for before they've started flickering mate?

Mine have been in for about 4 months and no problems so far, think I've got a spare set too - try them out sometime and see if you have the same problem if you want.

VWNUTANT- Passat no6 - B5.5 TDI SPORT..lowered

Looks fantastic mate!

Now just admit that you're gonna go crazy on it.... put us all out of our misery! LoL

Have you sourced the painted and chrome strips? Definitely a "class" mod mate, especially with the chrome grille. They were the 1st thing I noticed on mine when I viewed it.

Re: Kevy D's B5.5 Saloon V6 (FlyEyes Headlights and New Pics

OK cheers for the advice peeps.. Seeing as they already have the 215/40 stretched on, it's less hassle to leave them on and try them out anyway so I'll see how I get on. Don't wanna be lowering it any more though, as it sits ridiculously low at the moment on the standard 16's and I've literally HIT ...

Re: Kevy D's B5.5 Saloon V6 (FlyEyes Headlights and New Pics

Cheers mate...

I'm just deciding whether to leave the stretched 215's on or stick some 225's on there (which will still have a little bit of stretch). I would go a lot lower and wider as they are, if it wasn't for these pesky speed bumps (well, KERBS) on my road, ARGH.
