Passat B6....

Hi all,

my background has generally been jap, with previous cars being a Honda Civic Vti 200 bhp, then an Integra Type R which was nitrous'd, then onto a subaru Impreza Turbo.

After suddenly finding out that i was gonna be a dad, i had to get something sensible, so went for a vw passat and promised myself no modding..............(yeah right)

Anyway, i bought the car 2 years ago, didnt touch a thing on it, just kept it clean, and then i got bored so started to do little things to it...
here goes with the pics.....

this is the car in standard form, its 2.0 Tdi SPORT, 140 bhp fully loaded.









The first mod i did to the car was getting some side skirts and front lip, these are genuine vw parts as i wanted to keep the car oem....

then came the 19" wheels and AP coilovers...

then some goodies arrived from germany in the shape of de badged grill and new headlights..

heres a pic with the headlights fitted below, grill is not fitted yet as you can see i didnt like the number plate recess so got my local bodyshop to get rid of it and get a smooth look on the front.....

heres the new grill all smooth....

The final body mod i added was a boot spoiler, again oem part from vw...

very nice mate, can't wait to see it with air and new wheels!

thanks for the comments guys, i quite liked the wheels when i bought them, but have now worn off, been tinkering with the idea of some merc rims, then some bbs lm's even looked at some th lines but in the end went for some image wheels....once the air ride and wheels are on i will then be getting hid fogs and lights and poss carbon roof. then leather inside but thats on hold for now... just want to get it sitting right.

Plans sound good. which airride setup you goin for?

Ive gone for a Accuair setup with e-level, its a self levelling kit, straight from the states, well looking forward to it....

ps wont be gold though, will be anthracite or chrome centres, still not made my mind up!

£1560 for the kit with a rocker switch, thats including bags, tank the whole lot. i got it on a li mited deal though through voodoo motorsport.

i take it thats just with the basic single compressor and small tank? are you fitting it yourself? Accuair is a really good bit of kit, id have that or the easystreet management.

Whats the specs on the wheels?

hey guys,

sorry havent been on here in a while! someone over on E38 gave me a nudge to come and say hi, been really busy with the car, airiride is in, a few minor finishing touches to be done, new wheels are also here....

here are some pics, let me know what you guys think,

still have the carpeting to be done and some lights fitted












the new wheels



first trial fit,



having some issues with the offset and tyre setup, some after a few adjustments had another go...







still having issues at the back so looks like i have a to get another set of new tyres and maybe take a couple of mm of the hub on car to get it to sit right.
hope you guys like.

That looks sick mate!

I love those wheels, suit the car really well!

I really need to sort my life out and get air in the merc!

Good work dude!

Commented on this on edition. looks awesome m8, and i wouldnt go taking material off anythin unless you really have to. i think 1 degree of camber on the front will see the tyre tucked

front is sorted mate, tucks in nice now, its the back end im having trouble with, looks like im gonna have to go 215 tyres and that should clear.

thanks for the comments guys.

howd you sort it?

And whats the spec of the image's?

the front just needed the arch rolling, and tucks in perfectly now.
as i wasnt brave enough the first time of slamming the bags!

wheel spec 19x9.0j offset (educated guess) et20, hard to say as the wheels where made to measure to fit the car.
