Its on AP coilovers, Polished 18X8 single piece OZ opera wheels.
8K HID kit. and thats about it.
this gets used every day, but just fancied making it a bit of something to look at.
How she stood at Edition38 last year
Since then i've realised that I haven't seen too many murdered out Passats, so thought why not!
First job was LaminX rear lights (sorry about iphone photos from here on in
)
and there was enough lift over, i decided to do the side repeaters too:
Off came the slightly worse for wear 18's (got caught out with the snow last year
and they're currently away for a fresh black powdercoat.In the mean time, instead of spray, i decided to vinyl the chrome trim around the windows and front grill:
one side finished
i forgot pictures of the grill, but you get the idea.
i had some vinly left over, so had a brain wave with the rub strips. heres a small test area:
i was pretty pleased, and ordered up some more vinyl, with the results looking like this:
so about £30 and five hours work versus god knows how much for painting! I'm pleased, plus i prefer doing stuff myself.
and here's how it looked parked in the village the other day:
Just waiting on the wheels to come back all shiny and new now.
Next steps are:
WASH THE DAMN THING!!!!
De-wiper rear (which I'm onto in about half an hour)
25mm-30mm spacers, and get the front coils down a bit more.
Matt black all lower plastics
Tints
Source a WW2 pineapple grenade for a bit of gear knob action
re-trim the headliner and pillars in black suede (already sourced stretchy faux suede)
look into sourcing a black leather interior.
and i think thats it for now.
I'll try to keep this up to date as best i can
