Passats B5 project *updated a bit*
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 11:15 pm
Hi all ,
its about time I show the people my passat , like most I stumbled upon this site trawling the internet looking for inspiration and found this wonderful site .
therefore here are some pictures of my progress and where im up to.
first off is a picture of the vehicle as I bought it
[/img]
shed looking but lots of potential
but i couldnt leave it standard so i had the bump strips painted and added some aftermarket lights and some chep wheels i found on good old gumtree.

this car needs new wheels and after inspiration from the people n here I knew It had to be something that was stylish so it had to be monoblocks
but me being me it had to be cost affective so i sourced some cheep aftermarket shabby wheels and set about refurbishment myself
[/img]
always look good on the pictures
[/img]
finally finished after weeks , this was defo one of those jobs I wish I never started
spigot rings and plane centre caps sourced and im ready for fitting
[/img]
defo happy with the look just need to lower the boat and it will be sitting sweet
Also noticed the mileage last week and its nearly the golden number, not bad for a 14 yr old car with one previous owner
[/img]
Ive done some other things on this car, with it being the 1.9 TDI 110 AFN SE it comes with turrrd seat and standard wheel and no mud flaps , so iv added the mud flaps to the rear , stripped net optic trim (done myself ,, MISSION)
GTI wheel,grill and a new parcel shelf in black rady for some sick seats .
