Did it take much sanding work? Do they just sand back t that nice finish? I have ...

Thats what mine is, chinese OEM grille and lip. I am still undecided! This is quite tough!

Right, my new grille has arrived as I wasn't sure of the debadged look. Trouble is, I'm kind of getting used to the debadged now. Here are some pics of the new grille fitted: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture014-1.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture015-1.jpg...

You're right. I managed to get the rear upgrade set from ebay, a pain to fit because of the pot rivets but definately worth it. I'm on the look out for the front set now.

What a lovely looking Passat. The whole look is so simple but works so well. I love it, good work!

I took some more pics yesterday (no reason!). Thought I would share... http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture010-1.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture008-1.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture009-1.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S...

I'd slam that A8, tint it and stick some nice dished wheels on it. You've no doubt seen Ronin, go for that style - so mean. As for the 'ssat I like the different approach you're after - keep it up. Thanks for the comments. The A8 is going I'm afraid. Cannot justify 2 cars, the missus has just passe...

Well the chrome grille and lip are on order, as are a set of genuine VAG chrome mirror housings.

Expect some pics when they are fitted!

Do they do a de-badged chrome grill for yours? That would be different?

They do but I am not really feeling the debadged look. Kinda like a face without a nose if you know what I mean??

Original grille was broken when I bought the car (does anybody else find the original grilles are really poor quality?). Pics of the A8... http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture012.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture013.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/...

Could I ask where you got the front bumper insert? I like the idea of lowering my number plate.
If you could point me in the right direction that would be great

welcome to the site m8, nice car i have the same dvd setup in mine for long journeys http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u75/S14LTR/Picture047.jpg Is your DVD player seperate (as in not in the dash)? If so I have found that mine slots very neatly into the space under the steering wheel and all wires...

Hey all. I'm new on here, had my Passat about a month now. It's a 1998 1.8 20v T Sport Auto. I really like the car, I also have an Audi A8 but this compares very well! I have started to mod it. It was stock when I got it and feeling very sorry for itself but has cleaned up lovely. First up I put on ...
