I much prefer the new look....looking really classy now

I use a variety of products too....mostly megs and ag, due to 3 for 2 offers at halfrauds lol. I've been impressed with poor boys stuff and it smells stunning too. Is the autobrite stuff expensive?
I've found perfectly detailed (aberlee on ebay) good for prices....not sure if he sells autobrite tho.

If you have a look at my thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=59871&start=75#p517454
there are photos of the ate calipers, if yours look like that you've got the right one's lol. Hope this helps.

it needs doing soon lol...my pile of stock is spreading from my dining room into my living room lol.
I'm going for a short holiday this weekend, but after that all my time is going into getting it sorted.

cheers mate, wanted something subtle, but also didn't want anything to bold incase I decide to sell them further down the line

bringing the car more or less back to standard

small children run and hide when they see this coming lol. Looks real moody and aggressive

that bay looks cleaner than the day it rolled off the production line....what's this AD stuff....i've not come across it before?

What car do you have?? Sorry for jumping in to this thread I have a 1999 PD 115 estate sport please say I just need carriers hope so. As picking up a pair tomorrow for £20 :-) be my best buy if they fit lol is that a b5?....i don't think you will have the correct calipers. You need the fn3 ate cal...

Have you got w8 xenons? seems common on them....Also what camera did you get?

Fair play looking stunning as always mate....i had the same problem with headlights, after polishing them i had marks/ clouding on the inside....apparently you can wash it out with dishwasher tabs in water....remove your headlights and rinse. I've not tried it yet so can't confirm if it works or not...

120k is just run in on diesel engines....just make sure it's had regular oil changes and belts done and it should go on and on and on.

It took a bit longer than expected, but i've finally got my wheel barrels and centres back from powder coating. I went with gunmetal grey for both as I wanted something subtle that would go with my red calipers. barrels http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/temporary_zpsdb8f8c2e.jpg cen...

Stunning mate....it clearly is the best colour for a wagon lol
Sounds like you've got big plans for it, can't wait to see what you've been up to lol

I'll have another go tomorrow....it was so close but couldn't quite wrangle it in. I didn't want to force it and break a hose, but now i know it will fit without removing anything I'll get it in there lol. It was close to in there just a few cm out. Thanks for the advice :-bd if i fail tomorrow I'll...

~x( I tried fitting my w8 upper strut brace today....got the passenger side mount fitted no problems, but the drivers side is a complete ~x( ~x( . Do i need to remove anything to fit it? After trying every possible angle of entry i couldn't get it passed the brake pipes and under the black plastic b...

I would've thought they were the same as the b5.5 was just a facelifted b5. I would think that the shell and roof and therefore roof rails are the same on both.

Iirc it's about 110 x 180 between the wheel arches

I've slept in the back of my b5.5 wagon, seats lie flat...i could lie fully outstretched and I'm 6'3"

Looking good mate....loads better now it's lowered. I'm hoping to fit mine next week...any tips or pointers?

http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=59871&start=25#p484749 i removed mine to polish, i did a write up with pictures in my build thread. All fixings can be accessed from outside. You don't need to remove anything from inside. As said just be careful not to snap any clips when...

Hopefully it won't be long til they're on, I've got 40 bolts and one lip polished up, ready to build one up.....i'm just waiting on powder coating now.

Love the new rear end....looks nice and aggressive now, like the front end
those real carbon bits are a touch of class too.

That looks so much better in my opinion. The splitter and new wheels set it off. I've never been a huge fan of this shape golf estate (and I love almost all estates lol) But you're starting to change that with yours

I've also pulled my finger out and re assembled my brake calipers. I had watched a few videos on you tube and most said putting the boots on was a right pig of a job, so I'd been putting it off and putting it off. Finally sat down last night, first one took 2 attempts second one went on first time :...

I gave Das Wagon a detail on the weekend. Also took the sound deadening from under the bonnet, gave it a good wash and polished and waxed under the bonnet
