Almost straight away I debadged her at the rear as it was the only mod I could do that was free! Next up I fitted a K&N panel filter and Forge Split-R dump valve. She stayed like that for several months before I finally got the money to do anything else. Then I fitted Euro style plates and numberplate surrounds and ordered a Jom badgeless grille which took forever and a day to arrive.
While the exterior is by no means finished I turned my attention to the interior as that's the bit I'm going to see most of the time! First of all I fitted some LED mood lights in the front and rear footwells. I had neon ones in my first Passat but only in the front and they were only one colour. The advantage of LED's is that they come with a control box and I can change between seven different colours and different modes from solid colour to fading from one to another to flashing etc. The colour's a lot more subtle than the pictures imply.
Next up was in-dash DVD player and headrest screens. I chose an Eonon dvd player from China on eBay and matching headrest screens and the dvd arrived within 4 days and the screens the day after as I was fitting the head unit. Talk about timing! They were fairly straight forward as I've done this before although the wiring was a bit of a pain and the Chinese into English translation manual wasn't a great help either. I took some photo's as I was doing it and will do a how-to if anyone's interested? I'm planning on a few more screens but not as many as Pete, LOL!
That's all I've done for now although I've got a couple of things I'm working on at the moment and loads more plans for the rest of the car. I haven't even started on the wheels, suspension and engine!
Hope you like it and I'll update this as I get more done. Any comments welcome
