UKPassats

well I reckon that looks the D`s B`s!
think colour coding the lowers would be a nice touch now.

well done T.
I`ll pm you my bank details-you didn`t think you were getting my vote for nowt! Did you?
1774 miles, a cracking weekend and great friends`ll only get you so much!


seriously mate, well done and happy 21st (+vat) birthday

he does also have a bread just not as long my bread is normal size-Warburtons IYMK Counting Cars is my favourite at the moment you must be joking? watched them or rather -didn`t watch them turn a car into a pool table!! haven`t watched it since! wheeler dealers floats my boat, top and fifth gear I ...

I`ve noticed my car is a lot slower off the mark since fitting 18s, members have advised the extra unsprung weight + the larger diameter of the heels, will lessen performance and mpg! during a conversation with a petrol head this morning, he tells me he used to run 13s on a nova he built for hillcli...

COTM......in THAT old banger

how did that happen

seriously mate

I`ll stand my ground!

I think I could get rings made up for a tenner, watched my brother knock me out a set in his engineering w/shop last week, a shop that sold me wobble bolts wanted 16 sheets for rings but I declined knowing my bro would sort me for nowt, would a tenner be a good price for rings? would people buy them...

I debadged mine with a hairdryer, badges practically fell off, wee drop paint thinners removed the remaining foam/adhesive and a trip to the body shop for a mop & polish next morning, meant there was nowt left to see!
need any more help Tom, let me know

kinda embarrassed to admit this, it was all I could get my hands on at the time for 250 and no, there are no noughts missing there, I needed a car pronto to transport my new baby daughter after a MK1 fiesta committed hari kari on me, but, I`d a Volvo 345 x_x a truly awfull car that said 345 somethin...

I reckon they`d look great on any Dub!

Tom, you`d look much cooler in this

just sayin, lowered her and stuck some 18s on to sweeten the deal my offer still stands!
Jeez, the things I do for some of you guys

The colour looks to be Royal Green, LC6N :) LC6M- I thought Forest Green, but, Taylonm thought his was too http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y485/2013ukpring/Nurburgring%20April%202013/3b8d4fd5-6f0e-4031-a085-1193d27110fc_zps365c4da9.jpg you can see Taylons is a shade darker/blue-r? than mine. fu...

thanks guys,
they`re aftermarket AC 205`s.
think I`ll go back to my Montreals.
seriously disappointed in the performance today and,- the montreals have brand new goodyear tyres fitted to them.
the car finally looked just the way I`ve wanted since joining UKP`s,- but no, I`ll go back to 16`s!
Gutted!

got my first set of 18" wheels fitted the other night, had my first proper run out today and gotta say, the old girl feels slower to accelerate! she deffo feels, well, just not the `scalded cat` I felt since I got a remap from CCC. before, she wanted to sprint- with almost no pressure on the pe...

the tyres are 225x45 x18 & the speedo is reading slightly high, bout 3mph, is this normal or are the tyres wrong? I'm sure it won't be too far out but I thought 18s were on 40 profile tyres? Those ones of yours are c. 4% larger than the 205/55x16s on mine. 225/40x18 would be less than 1% differ...

took my new 18"s off and copperslipped `em, spigots and bolts

righto, that`s the wheel mounting faces, spigots and bolts copaslipped? copperslipped? coppergreased?-anyone?. just need to verify the speedo with a speed `App` now!

That looks really good 8-) I always use copper slip on the threads of my bolts and a smear on the wheel/hub surface ...stops wheels sticking to hubs ...can be a knight mare to get off later on otherwise sent using my own fingers cheers mate, righto, that`s my morning sorted then! http://i1124.photo...

I bought my `sat purely to tow a caravan, vey quickly found UKP`s, liked what I saw and thought I`d join (in!) I`d no idea there was a whole `slam it, tune it, modify it` world out there for passats! took me 2+ years but finally some bargains popped up and I`ve at last got her lowered and on 18s :ym...

nope! not for me! it`s your choice of course, but no, can`t think of a set of coloured alloys I`ve ever preferred to silver or two tone silver/grey! wheels are the first thing everyone notices on your ride, but black just hides them! why hide them? and don`t start me on dayglow pink or green :ymsick...

if you sell something to someone and post it to them, the responsibility is yours until the buyer receives the item! just waited 2 weeks for a debadged grill I`ve paid for, to be delivered, it finally turned up today, in two pieces!! snapped in the middle! I think the seller might have had his girlf...

always ask on here before parting with your hard earned, the members`ll steer you right. Main things I'm looking for are wheels, front bumper, maybe lights, audio/media system, leather interior, and few other bits... The bodywork needs some love and maybe a respray so nothing much in mind in the fut...

I run kumho ecsta le sport XL R17 I got very cheaply on camskill, not run them long but Ive not had any disappointment with them so far. say a prayer for me mate, the boss is going nuts over the cost of wobble bolts- 60 quid- "I thought you said the wheels were free?"- they were! they wer...

Kumhos for around £110 a corner fitted. Perfectly good tyres. nice to kow! just picked up a set of 18" alloys myself yesterday, might need tyres pronto as the proxes4 tyres fitted seem to be Marmite in reviews, if I EVER get wobble bolts to suit and manage to actually test these toyo`s I`ll l...
