UKPassats

Hello. I am rather stuck. I have contacted VW who were useless. I would like to put coilovers on my 2015 GtTdi estate. I was warned about Electronic Dampening. I though I may have it but now having looked I am not sure I do, which is a bonus for me as coilovers were not an option. I have gone in dri...

I have just bought myself a 2015 GT Tdi Estate. I have had conflicting advice on wheel width I can run. I would ideally like to run the rim lip flush with the arch. I know size can vary when et's are involved but can anyone give me answers? I am looking either 18's or 19's, not sure best option yet....

Can anyone recommend to me where to get my wagon mapped. I live in Nottingham, don't mind doing a few miles for it......

thanks

I want to rid of the chrome trim on my car, with regards the window 'chrome' trim, I rang VW and they told me only chrome was available, is this right? Not sure wether to vinyl or paint?, would rather keep the chrome if not replacing. Can anyone let me know if they have done it and whats the best so...

Nice one for your replys, I take it the wheel won't pretrude the arch to much? That's my concern?

Pretty much as the tittle says!!

Ryan, is that standard height or slightly lowered?

thanks

have a dilema. again, 17's or 18's again!!! I prefer the look of a smaller wheel, if they are wide enough of course, and I want to run my car low but don't want issues underneath, at the mo its fine on 18's but not sure how a drop to 17 would affect matters. Does anyone have any pics of there Passat...

not sure where to post this so sorry if wrong place. I just wanted to know the best methods of de-chroming. I have a B5.5 with the chrome trim around windows which I think I want to make black. would like to be able to revert back if possibleI, thought about wrapping in vinyl but unless i take them ...

cheers, again......

I'm personally not keen on passengers not being done if the rears are, so maybe light tint could work........??

I've never had or been a fan of tinted windows. I think they look chavy, boy racerish etc I've always been happy with the light green tints that VW use. Now I have an estate I would like my windows very slightly darker, keeping the oe look, can anyone give me some recommendations/ideas. Any pics wit...

cheers.....

Do VW actually produce a grill with out the chrome though?

thanks

I have a B5.5 with the chromed grill. I'm wanting an all black grill and badge. Are all the passat grills chrome or can they be bought without the chrome trim?

And secondly will the B5 lower grill and fogs fit the B5.5

Thanks

cant be as bouncy and wallowy as the stock suspension on mine right now
Should be getting my AP in next couple weeks......

got some new rims yesterday, the family 'budget' daily's starting to take shape

Thanks, car looks good.... what coils you running, whats ride like?

I have some new wheels, 8.5 x 18 et 32.... Not yet got coilovers on my car....Will be in next month so can play with height. I'm not going extreme low with ride height, just a little lower than the Sline A4 estates... My question is? I wanted to run 225 x 40's all round but will this be a prob on fr...

I know Spax do an adjustable spring/damper kit although only run a 40mm drop.

I'm organising an AP Group Buy at the mo...They do a fully adjustable kit!..Get involved

Sorry dude, im finding it impossible to upload pics atm due to admin issues lol. I'll have get photobucket or what not. I take it this thread is to help give you an idea of how low you're looking to go? cheers, yeah, I want to go low, on want it on coilovers but really don't like the thought of the...

nice one Robbo_987

Appreciate it, you see pics but can't alway work out what they are running

Thanks Matt, I'm guessing with an 18" wheel the gap between wheel and arch will be slightly smaller......

could anyone post some pics of B5.5 (estate preferably) with a 40mm drop and 18's

thank you
