Mines got 18" RS6 reps on standard suspension. The ride is not as good as the standard 17's, neither is the handling, and I have noticed an increase in fuel consumption. I put it down to the new (cheaper) wheels being much heavier than the oem ones. I'm going back to 17's as soon as I've worn t...

Are the B3's as floppy and bendy on the lower edges as a B5.

I had a Cavalier SRI 130 in 1989. That had a painted rear spoiler that you could push your finger into, but the lower part of the door trim on a B5.5 can bend through 180 degrees.

Hmmmmm, that looks like an S to me not an SE. Didn't SE's have 15" Wellington alloys and a single CD player. Oh hang on, it's got a B5 dash, so there is no space for the CD player. Looks like the factory must have forgotten to put B5.5 centre console in with the arm rest as well. How careless :...

it shouldn't crack if its done right.

Thats the theory, but practice seems to be a different thing with this one.

Nice that.

I've got the same colour, just wish I had the 4Mo and the Xenons.

I've thought about painting my lowers, but most people say that they will crack. I quite like it the way it is.

Bon Jovi, Slippery When Wet in the front unit.

I havn't go a clue what's in the changer.

If you dont know the body shop, dont just think it'll be ok because your insurance says so. Ask around, go and find one for yourself, then, and only then tell your insurers where you want the car to be fixed. It may take a fews days longer to sort things out now, but that's better than weeks/months ...

Iv'e been debating whether to lower my car for absolutely ages. I know it needs it for a looks point of view, and that was emphasised parked next to so many lowered Passats at Ultimate Dubs, but I really do need the ground clearance, and even a modest 30-40mm drop is would be too low for me. I know ...

A mate had a new M3 the other day.

He had taken his own 2 year old M3 in for a service though. I dont think he would have got it if he had taken a B reg 316

Ah, but what were you looking for to find them?

That's what I want to know

Demon tweeks stock Milltek, and will normally give a 10% discount and haggle on the carriage if your cheeky enough.

They are separate units with a spacer between them, but leave a double din sized hole when you take them out.

If you want to fit a single din headunit, a oddment tray from a Mk4 golf will fit the space perfectly.

They look a bit like Beetle wheels to me. They will be 5x100

Here's mine http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t264/dubber36/DSCF2146.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t264/dubber36/DSCF2144.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t264/dubber36/DSCF2134.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t264/dubber36/DSCF2135.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t264/...

I dont think that Lowrider 76 would agree that it's a good deal.

I get the feeling that he/she dosn't like personal plates

Have you thought about having the dash trimmed in leather.

I saw MJ Interiors doing one when I had my Golfs seats re-trimmed.

each to their own and all, but i totally fail to see the point of personalised plates, just screams "look at me ive not got anything better to do with £250" (see the thread about the £7k car wax) Got to disagree with that one Matt. I dont think that £250 is much to spend on something t...

OK, anyone else wanting to join the UK Passats club stand on Sunday, we have managed to get another 4 spaces. I have spoken to the organisers today, and we have blagged the spare spaces left from people backing out from Section 8. When we arrive, we will all be in a queue with all the other clubs, a...

I like private plates,we've got them on both our cars. They are good for hiding the age, even to the point that I forget how old they are. We have numbers for the kids on retention too. I bought them when they were both born. They are prefix single digit ones with their initials. They cost £250 eac...

Personally I dont like them (sorry Bob)

First thing I did when I got my Mk2 Golf was to take the eyebrow spoiler off.

I think those sort of things are a bit old hat now. Dubs look best oem plus, smooth and clean IMO.

All will be revealed here http://www.dodojuice.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've not tried it yet, but we have got some samples coming to Ultimate Dubs

What I meant was, thats what I have to do now cos I'm poor

Some people do have too much money, but think about it, if you earned £80,000 a week (£4.16m a year) playing football, what would you do with it all?

It's all relative really.

Me? I'll carry on myself with my Zymol and DoDo
