UKPassats

thought I'd try something different.... https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/1381946_10151908679727209_1203082567_n.jpg After many hours turned that crate into a very nice roof rack. Some jubilee clips, screws and varnish later... Oh seeing as all this cost so much, i thought the basket ...

Hi, Im Matt. Introduced myself here before. I have a b3 passat estate. Its not the cleanest of car's, but its got character. I'ce had it 3 months now, almost done 9k miles in it! Starts first time everytime. Even after all the miles it has done, its still going strong. Here's a few pics. https://sco...

And no need to shout ;)

do you have a link to this guide?

Just picked this up otherday. Loving it so far. It's a 1.9 tdi. Pulls very well, just needs a clean up inside. Few rusty patches here n there. Its done 230k miles :) https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/254169_10151654137227209_1558178229_n.jpg The rear wiper been removed and stuff...

I think rat adds character if done nicely.

Hi im in need of advise, i dont kno what im looking for offset wise and what would be the max j i could go?
I want a staggerd set, and rear lip of the rim to sit just outside the arch of the car. The car will be static.
What size would you recomend? or wheel?

Ok. Basically i want to kinda push the boundries, and with the wheels and poke i want, im gunna need stretch and camber.

hard stuff?

How easy is it to adjust/add negative camber to the rear wheels?
Not looked into it yet.

cheers for ya help fella!

I like it. Really wanna get this done to mine!

The bonnet, you buy it like this? Or is it a custom job? Anyone know where or who could sort me out?

Only £1.50 each.

Used on the two rear mounts apparently.

i may try this!

depends on the mot tester tbh. My exhaust was quite loud and popping (kinda like the back fire noise.) due to a small hole. Still passed ok.

thats helpfull cheers. I think the older headlights look so much better than the ones on mine. Looked into aftermarket ones. Not seen any im keen on.

How do most of you guys protect the underside of your car, My anti roll has taken a fair beating, The sump only has one mark on it. Could i get a skid plate made? Or what do you guys recomend?

yeah im on about the estates. Im gunna take a look into this, Cheers

a audi a6 interior, would that fit?

does the b5 rear lights fit b5.5?

Looks like this may be no more

hmmm tempting!

well what colour would you say it is? that be the same round here. Aswell as in general the roads here are terrible! council really need to do something about it!

i wounder if the sump is still intact?

would depend on the engine.. The thing is slammed!

because you can?
