Re: B5.5 Passat Estate

Where was the car kept before you got it mate ? Them inner wings look well rusty, i would have treated the tin worm before putting the new wings on, also i would use wax oil to spray the inside of the wings as well... No idea, outside I assume? Do you mean this pic on the passenger side?? http://i8...
