Re: first mods?

Same problem, they are kinda great looking as they are, really don't know what to do apart from stick my private plate on to make it look agesless! How are you finding it? The raid noise from the 18's is bugging me a little but I think that's the uniroyal rainsport 3's on the front. http://i66.tiny...

Re: B8 App connect

I guess the only way to tell is to plug my phone in the the USB in the arm rest, if it has apple car play apparently it boots up and mirrors the screen.

B8 App connect

Hi, I collect my B8 GT on Monday, I've been looking on YouTube at various videos of the entertainment system, what is this app connect? And also see some of these units have apple car play? Was that an option or is it standard?

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

Well that escalated quickly, getting bored of looking at the cheaper ones as they are all tatty on the bodywork, going to see a 2015 2.0tdi GT saloon in indium grey tomorrow morning, should still see a noticeable size difference in boot space and cabin room over a CC. http://i63.tinypic.com/30v16hy...

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

That's the 1.6 I drove yesterday, clutch was very weird, seemed to rev for days then bite very high up, the top of the back bumper where you load things in and out was scratched to bits and there was a ding on the edge of the rear passenger door that couldn't be repaired, apart from all that it was ...

Having had a Passat with a panoramic roof I think you would struggle to get the vinyl wrap into the rubber seal around the glass.

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

No it's got to at least be a business edition if not a GT.

I've found a stunning 190bhp GT online with about 4K of extras on it but I need to sell my CC first.

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

Meant to say the fix was done in July last July at 31500 miles, it's now on 33000, so it's not done much in 12 months which is another worry for me!
