Looks really nice, can`t beat a silver wagon

What does the badge say under the side indicators? can`t see it clearly enough

I had a mk2 Golf that I spent thousands on about 5 yrs ago, respray, chrome engine, the lot. I got a five page mag feature which was brilliant but after that I decided any other cars I buy will be done on a budget. With my Passat I`ve got alot of parts etc thru being eagle eyed. I picked up a set of...

Nice mate, its clearly been dropped on its bum

What make of coilovers have you used?

This site is fairly new and does`nt have a huge amount of members so finding a local recommendation might be hard. I can give you the details of two bodyshops that are very good in Coventry/Warwickshire because that`s where I`m from If you don`t get any joy, try http://www.edition38.com" onclic...

Harm, any plans to come to the DubClub meet in Coventry on Wednesday nights?

Looks really nice mate, you could see me rollin in a saloon within a year...

Dude, if you have a mountain bike get yourself some road tyres/slicks. You`ll be amazed how much time you can knock off a journey. Ten minutes is likely once ure fit, http://www.chainreactioncycles.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and everything is free p&p

Thanks, my passat wagon is no Quattro!

Do any of the B5 saloon and estate and B5.5 saloon and estate have the same suspension?
i.e would coilovers on a 5.5 estate fit the 5.5 saloon?
would coilovers on a 5.5 estate fit a 5 estate etc?

Thanks

Any chance of a part number?

Was this an option on the B5? will it fit a B5.5?

Thanks

Thanks for the positive comments lads. I mod for my taste`s, its nice to know other ppl appreciate them as well My wagon will be at some shows this year. I`ve put my name down for the UKP stand in August at VW Festival in Leeds. I would also like to get it in the Show N Shine at E38. I`ll be at Ulti...

I really like the roof spoiler, where did you buy it?

I looked into it briefly but all the one`s I saw looked cheap and nasty

Yours is subtle, less is more

As its a work`s car the quality of the tint does`nt need to be amazing? Cheap tint will look purple after a year or two Lumar is pretty much the best on the market, not sure how you would get hold of it though as you can`t buy it from shops. Check eBay or your local car accessory shop. There is a gu...

Yes its the quality of the alloy that you`re paying for. Replicas won`t be as strong, could buckle easier if you went down a pothole. I had a set of A8 replicas about 3/4 years ago, they were fine. Before them I had a set of genuine Audi Cabriolet 17`s, I sold them to a guy on eBay. He said he was b...

I don`t want to post photos of the whole car until I`ve got the right weather & location but here`s a taster...

Have any of you boys in the 60mm+ region checked the allignment/tracking now you`ve been slammed and have big alloys? I dropped my previous car (Audi A4) 100mm and because of that it could`nt be alligned properly. This led to uneven tyre wear. The next owner soon bought new 18` tyres as they were pe...

Best i.e absolute best on the market or best for the money? If you don`t want to spend silly money have a look in the group buy section. I bought a set for my 51 plate estate and I can`t fault them. Alot of us on the site have bought them and as far as I know everybody is perfectly happy with the ki...

Soak heavily 'outside' of glass to be tinted with soapy water Put tint on glass and cut to size, overcut slightly to allow for errors Soak inside of glass and then separate tint, put on window You have to make sure the tint and glass are always wet so you can move it around to the position you want....

Try a 'search' for keywords like filter and induction or panel. There`s a lot of post`s on the site to be found from days gone by. You`ll see a few makes recommened


HTH

Just seen this thread, one of my mates is a VW technician

Post some pics of the problem area`s and I`ll then talk to him or send him the photos

Fair play for what you`ve done so far, no small job!

Happy Birthday dude, where in the U.S are you from?

search for rain or wind deflector on eBay, most seem to be American though and thats on the English eBay! Would have thought fitting was pretty straight forwards, cheaper to quit smoking mate

As above, buy coilovers and you can`t go wrong. Just keep adjusting until you are happy. If you buy lowering springs you always run the risk of not being happy with the end result. Contact Phil J in the coilover group buy section!

I keep a microfibre cloth in the car and give any rain water a quick wipe over. If you have marks try some multi purpose cleaner on a microfibre cloth, anywhere like Tesco`s etc. sell both items in the cleaning section Ever considered those plastic shields that go on the edge of the window so you ca...
