UKPassats

sorry guys.....heres another wee teaser....i couldnt help myself lol

The rubs strips add shape and lines to what is naturally a boring shaped car. no rub strips on my passat = oversized big blue dildo! lol. He he, so you done much this week? I am truly looking forward to seeing the completed item though, but part of me will miss the intensity of your build thread. M...

Just got back from the bodyshop. The front bumper has now migrated back to the car now lol. Its very nice to see the bumper back on the car as the bumper provides so much of the extra character. The fog lights were an absolute b!tch fix to the bumper and took a whole day (as there are no OEM bracket...

Someone let me know that this pic of my car was in FAST CAR mag this month. The pic was taken at the EUMANIA show recently. Im quite pleased with the shot actually. Hows this for representing ssats in mags lol http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr334/NWDUBS/EUMANIA%2011JAN09/DSC_0308.jpg http://i49...

Brilliant work dude.. Keepit up

thank you for reading it all mate. I know its a hell of alot of thread to read through so its appreciated when people have taken th time to do so. Cheers for you kind words mate

will definitely spend some time gawping at UD - you going all out interior as well? - and i'm also surprised you haven't had your rub strips or number plate plinth smoothed - very aggressive though :D Im not a fan of the 24s to be honest. Even though the Phaeton is a HUGE CAR i think 22s are the ma...

the amgs are indeed very nice and will hold weight on days out.....but the ascaris overall are a true showpeice. you need to see these in the flesh. they dont even seem real lol. ;)

lol.....loveing it geezer ;)

you know what....i did consider this recently lol. There were a set of them exact rims on the phaeton going for a mere

managed to get down to the garage yesterday to trial fot the new 'winter' AMG twennies. The fronts are only 8.5" (as apposed to the 9" of the ascari pentas). The rears are the same fitment as the pentas and same ET (the ascaris were Et35, but have been machined to ET38 for better tuck). Th...

I got down to H&W motors today to test fit the new GTI fogs in the grills. They were a perfect fit (as expected lol). Hopefully if time permits these could be fitted to the bumper by the saturday arvo or Monday at the latest. Once this is done, the front bumper will finally get fitted to the car...

mate i love your style with the BLAG to the insurance. A man after me own heart lol.

Im not sure how the smooth look would work with my lower bumper but i reckon in my head it would look good. I would need a photoshop to confirm this really lol.

personally id go 215...but then mosy would say thats too much. i think it would look pretty mad, and would help tuck the car for extra slammage!

that is absolute quality mate!

i wish i new about this before my car went in the bodyshop
deffo summin to consider if i ever need a new bumper tho

Finally got my GTI foglights in the post as well as getting my refund on the old incorrect standard mkV ones. The post office strikes really slowed things down despite paying express recorded delivery but hey, at least the items arrived! here you can see how difference these are from the standard it...

I always over ...

This is the Passat equivalant of a drama series. Will he make it, won't he make it. Each step you take is a giant leap and we are all waiting with baited breath for the finale. The polished rims look great, and giving them a bath made pi55, the things we do for our cars :roll: So how long till it a...

I spent the entire day trying to get my stance on the rear sorted lol. Recently i picked up my rear 20s from Eurotyres in Wembley as they needed to be skimmed 3mm at the hub for extra tuck. Today i took the rims to styledynamix so that the rubber could be put back on them. In the below vid you can s...

They only despatched them yesterday when i had paid for em on Tuesday! I know the wheels are cheap but i didnt expect cheap service. Oh well, I guess il just have to wait...
