Thanks for that, what do you mean by not ideal?
Would it be worth trying to get a dedicated loom for the long term?

I have a 2003 B5.5 Saloon and I am going to get a tow bar kit fitted tomorrow, when the electrics kit has come through its the old style crimp onto the rear lights jobbie.... I have heard from some that you need the dedicated electrics kit and from others that this is just upselling. Can anyone tell...

It is a later model, the thick strip down the side was removed and only glued on... If your pee'd about me modifying a clean original 49k car, you'll be really annoyed she you see the 1.8t engine and the airbag kit. I can understand you're feelings in a way, but I'm still keeping an old car on the r...

From this ... http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii317/Bickers2208/photo-1.jpg To this.... http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii317/Bickers2208/photo-3.jpg Thanks to a very helpful chap on here, I got my foglights and grille fitted, trimmed down the front bumper until I can get round to fitting the ...

I have just seen you're location... Hahaha, thats understandable!

Much appriciated guys, thanks....

I am considering doing a B1/B2 calendar for 2015 if you want to be part of it. :) I'd love too... Although at the moment, she looks better in the pictures than in the flesh. If theres anything I can help with though, I'd be happy too. I work at Brands Hatch, so maybe I could get you permission to g...

Oh, and I chucked a new electric aerial on it as well as the pressed metal plates and a complete exhaust as well.... I know I'll nenevr get all of my £££'s back, but I should hope pre-paint job it'll be worth £1300-1500?!?!?!? I dont really know, these seem to be the only VeeDubs that havent see...

It might be coming up for sale soon as I have jsut found a 34,000 mile T4 Van... But thats another story. They are 15" G60 steels with a nice set of Yokohama Parada's on which are the grippiest tyres I have ever had! I bought it from eBay 6 months ago, a guy had picked it up from a insurance lo...

Thought I'd put a picture up of my 48,000 mile car for the first time, with fresh G60 steels

Just joined the forum and tried to convince him to break it!
Ive had my B2 6 months and its proving hard to find parts!

I have a '85 passat that I want to put the earlier slated grill onto...
It fits but the earlier (1981) headlights must be differant because it doesnt match up round the grill....
Anyone know of anywhere selling them new or 2nd hand?

Thanks guys, all information is well and truely appreciated.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for those pictures.
Virtual beer coming your way.

Yeah, I think they were a standard option....
They might be coming up for sale soon as I am looking at having a set of deep dish g60 steelies made.

Mine has broken in many places , I was wondering if anyone knows whether they are shared with other models to help tracking one down a little easier....

Don't get me wrong I have no intention in recreating a boy racer look, I like the retro theme and I have been looking at getting adaptors and fitting some aircooled Fuchs. But I have the option of 17's or 15's, does anyone have photos of their 17's? Is it possible or a good sensible idea for a daily...

My '85 hatchback has no parcel shelf.... I doubt I will ever find on, but any help on the matter will be great fully received. In failure of the above, could someone attach some photos of theirs? From the mounts etc it looks like its a folding shelf, some pictures of the mounts, overall shape would ...

Thanks guys.... It looks like I'll be making one!
I'll take some photos and show you guys who it turns out.

I have just found sgs-engineering online who list them for anyone thats interested.... Ill re-post if they are correct and work.

I know 3 threads in one day, but my B2 needs some parts and I want it on the road! Anyway, I have spoke to Beadles VW in Dartford and they dont make them anymore, Europarts have come up empty and eBay only seems to list gas struts for the estate. So anyone know where I can track a good set down or k...

Thats a good point, I'll have to try and track down a centre console that fits first and see what the eye line is like for DVD and satnav etc.

I have got my '85 B2 1.8CL now and it has no stereo :sad: My plan (after falling in love with double din units) is to fit a double din unit in the dash. The ideal plan would be to relocate the heater controls either lower down in the dash, or into a centre console (maybe Mk2 Jetta or Mk2 Golf) and u...

Thats exactly what I meant.... Still learning the ways of retro Passats, its the smaller bumpers and the grill with more slats in that I am intretested in.
Any idea of places where these are avalible?
