My new B5.5 estate New lows with pics!

Post by big_si »

Had this just over a week, afraid this is a copy and paste from my local forum of the thred I just put up so forgive if there are bits are irrelevant!

Ok I kept it kind of quiet for the past week and now is the time to reveal all!

Spec:
2001 VW Passat Estate (B5.5) 1.8T Revo'd to 196bhp (according to the revo site)
Usual stuff like RCL, PAS etc
Electric windows all round
Climate Control
All Leather Interior

Extras:
17x9 front, 17x10 rear RH Monos (AMG monoblock reps)
Tinted Windows
Eibach Coilovers
Forge Dump Valve
Front Debadged and plate recess smoothed
Rear completely debadged and smoothed
Kenwood CD/DVD/Tuner Head unit

That's how I got it. Pics:

So since I've had it (just over a week) he's had, 2 new rear tyres (225/45's instead of 245/45's) new brake pads up front, bee sting aerial I had lying around (was gold :sick: ) so a bit of rattle can gloss black soon sorted that! Also a touch more camber than there was before just for some more clearance, and of course........ all coilovers wound down! Front has come down about 15mm from when I got it, rear about 20 (ish). To be honest I'd like to get the back down a little more but the coils are at full drop so would involve getting new springs so that's taking a back seat for now as he sits pretty well as is!

So anyway that's all for the mo, I will be getting started on putting m stamp on this, as you can imagine there isn't a huge amount needs doing to this so it's more a case of changing little things to make it mine!

Now for more pics of how he looks now :)
