Re: COILOVERS

I have a brand new set of Weitec coilovers... the fronts are proper coilovers, the rears are adjustable dampers. They are the GTN kit wich retails at £300 and Im asking £250 fo them, brand spankers in the box and its a very underrated kit. PM me if youre interested.

Re: What MPG can I expect ......

Mine does an average of 38mpg, thats a mix of town and other driving. Can get up to 44 if I try.
Those older B3s are less economical than the later ones, cant remember the year they got better... 92/93 I think.

Re: German Tuning Show... Passat pics

Its a similar thing in the scooering world, people do custom scoots that bear no relevance to real scooters (Im talking vespa/lambretta btw, not chav scoots!) However, wouldnt it be a very boring world if all VW shows had lowered, debadged standard coloured Golfs like much of the scene wants? Each t...

Re: German Tuning Show... Passat pics

Its only wrong in UK eyes, in Germany its very right... at least they are moving away from the silly 10" rims that are nearly as wide with stupid stretchy tyres, unlike us whove embraced that look :lol: Of those cars there, the B3, B4 and the silver B5 were absolutely stunning, chrome wheels as...

Re: MY B4 Estate... update..now on G60s

Now got front foglights and a debadged chrome grill.... nasty thing to fit, very brittle not like original item and one of the clips snapped instantly :cry: its on though!
Does it need some chrome trim round the edge like a B5?

Re: 110TDi B4 Passats, How Rare?

Thats what I thought, there is however a B4 saloon on ebay at the mo, and the engine cover is like the 110 one, as opposed to the small Tdi cover on other B4s and Golf Mk3s Ive seen. I wonder?
