Im looking for a complete set myself for my B5 wagon. Im also unsure as to which are the best to go for. Ebay cheapies isn't an option here!

Nice touches Ant. They really do make all the difference! Looking real good!

Thanks guys!!
He will return i promise!

Now I feel like i'm being totally ripped off!!! Most of you have got it down to around the £400 fully comp mark.

will require 15mm spacers and longer bolts dude. the rest is fine!

Tyre size, i'd go for 205/40/17's
215's if you dont want any stretch whatsoever

Roll on show time...this is the car that made me find my wagon Ispirational :ymhug: Wow , that's impressive foz and in such great condition :-bd Epic build thread! Your passat is a beauty! :) Thanks for all the kind words guys, means a lot! :ymhug: However it is with sad news that I've had no choic...

The only way you will get the driver recognition photo is if you dispute the offence. Once disputed you will in time receive the evidence they have against you and a court date. You can however still settle prior to the court date, tho you risk a higher penalty. My point being you cannot ask for pho...

Well good old Flux came in tops for me again, tho my premium is forever climbing!! £618 with Breakdown cover, and insured to drive other cars! Chris Knott couldnt touch that quote, and as for Admiral?....well apparantly they dont deal in lowered cars full stop! I even described it at the time as no...

I have some fitted, no complaints from me, they look sweet. So much so, Ant thought mine were genuine chrome mirrors, lol.
If you look in my build thread, you may find some pics in there, if not I'll put some up later if i remember.

So I just tried ringing 'Admiral Multicar Insurance' for a quote on my wagon, and the missus's VW Lupo for us both :)] Because i declared my car as lowered, with alloys, and tinted windows, rear spoiler......I'm classed as uninsurable, tho they were more than happy to quote on the Lupo!!! :roll: Any...

I ALWAYS fill up with V-Power Diesel @ £1.53 a litre currently. Costs me around £90 each time. That lasts me a week!
I do over 600 miles a week. Have to replace the rear tyres every 6 months too @ £100 a piece!. ....The joys of being slammed!

Well done Chris mate! Thoroughly deserved for the attention to detail, and work accomplished! A true inspiration to us all

Man i am loving those bad boys!!

Well Im also going to say i don't think these look quite right somehow. Love the wheels in general, but its not floating my boat here! A step back in my opinion. On Eazi's green B5 they looked awesome, Im a little confused as to why i don't think the same here! My Friendly advice? sell them, concent...

Im going to be replacing the complete front suspension arms and bushes. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether my wagon would have 16mm or 20mm track rod ends? Also any recommendations for a good kit?

Lookin awesome Chris!
Only thing i would have done differently is colour coded the bump strips, and made it totally red, but a top job, and will defo get my vote for March COTM should anyone nominate it for the this month

Shiney shiney....cor blimey!!! Lovin it dude!!! :-bd :-bd :-bd cant wait to see it finished! Looking sweet as in my opinion!! Tho I'm in part agreement with Jk, I prefer it stickerless, but what can i say....your a sticker whore! ^:)^ More pics on the finshed article please! :ymhug: On a little side...

Matt

CLASS!!

Well i thoroughly enjoyed my return to this show. Always good to catch up with the usual suspects Ant, Matt, Ian, Chris, Mark, Sie and Pedro. And meet some new faces, Rob.c, Torque and a few others who's names escape me right now. The quality of the cars at this show never fails to impress me! And i...

That is not bad at all for a big car!! Love my wagon, and in todays current fuel climate, its a god send! Mu...
