My new Wagon

picked this up last week......one owner from new, 81,000 miles, staggered fitment Skyline wheels (which i'm not keen on).

Coilovers being collected wednesday
Plans are to colour code bumpers insert and door mouldings, drop it, rims etc

Noice.... good looking wagon...nice to see another Passat in the fold. Always forget how high they are standard, coilies are ready n waiting.....

looking good mate

These are really nice. My boss has got a Grey one.
Good choice mate!

And get some huge wheels tucked under that Passat when its on the floor.
You know it makes sense!

huge tucked wheels are the plan.
We went for the red Beemer as all the others seem to be black, silver or grey.....lol.....it's a nice motor but an akward driving position, the pedals seem to sit to far over to the right and give you back ache.....lol

Nice tidy car mate extremly good condition undearneath. Shame about your bolt issues.. Least its lower now

gonna get the hub sorted, give me a shout when you're going to red lodge

new lows sorted

ill get my pics up later mate

Oh thats much better didnt want a big drop then no problems with the fixing then....

can only drop the back more if i remove the helpers which i don't really fancy as my daughter goes in my car i still manage to scrape the undertray on road to work

Only issues we had was removing the back to front bolt that holds the bottom of coilovers, we slipped with the punch and managed to knacker the thread
Also trying to remove rear wheel, one of the bolts was crossed and a complete arse to remove, the thread is completly screwed so need to get a new hub. Currently running on 4 wheel bolts

Not too bad then.... hope you put the bolts back the right way makes life much easier.. you gotta paint those wheels the colour looks worse now its lower....does that make any sense??? loads of guys run without the adjusters doesnt seem to make any difference just you cant adjust them.... does look sweeet though..

wheels will get sorted........Chris did put the bolts the right way around. We did discuss taking the adjusters out but i dont wanna risk the spring jumping out ............. I'm happy with the height as it is, i'd love to go alot lower but need it sensible as my daily, and being an estate no doubt i'll be carrying a load

decided to have a bit of fun with the wheels, there not the best finish as it was a nightmare to rub the dish down around the spokes. just a quick rattle can job until i get new rims sorted.

Before



After

I actually really like them mate

bit patchy as you saw, couldnt rub them down properly :(

not sure bout the colour mate i knida liked the gold

much better now ,it does'nt look like a jap ting

picked these up last weekend and hate the polished finish already, going to have them painted up once i've decided on a colour. Couldn't wait to get them on so had the tyres fitted today, tried 3mm spacers but the bolts wouldn't go thru the holes, that'll teach me to buy cheap spacers. Fitted them without spacers and the ET35 sits nicely without any scrubbing.



Fronts



Rears



and stickers (yes i know the DC is back to front, i didnt realise it was and external sticker.....lol)
