| dunno why i'm posting this really, not much to see (at the moment anyway!) the vento's replacement is a passat B5.5 tdi pd130. plans are to sort out rear bumper (got some random melt mark on it) and also fix some interior problems (cracked rear-view mirror, fix glove-box handle and sort out some decent sounds!) once thats done and i've saved up some £££, she's gonna get a remap and then it'll be time to hunt down some wheels and suspension upgrades doubt i'll be coming to next weeks meet as its booked in for a full service and mot, but here's a couple of pics...(roll on the oldman/sales rep jokes!) Leather/alcantara interior with heated front seats, nice touch coming into winter! | |

i was really after an estate version but there weren't any in my budget range with a decent interior so just settled with the saloon. estates look sick when done up right i reckon | |

| 18s i think ed, dont think you can get low enough on 19s and youll have to have tiny tyres so the ride wont be very nice. | |
