i heard about the reps on ebay, not looked them up yet,
funny as they are kind of a rep of the lambo rims....

Yeah pretty annoying but as mentioned elsewhere a good friend of mine is a panel beater/sprayer so we will be masking the wheels up and just sorting the rims, as for getting rear ended the passat is so tough it was only a cracked bumper, thats all sorted now

I like the blacked out vw badge rather than the badgeless grill, think they look too smooth, the other thing is this car really also owes me nothing at all so i am reluctent to spend more, that and the fact i have another project i should/need to focus all my money keeps this as is

mmm

i know yours isnt the same but you get the idea...

the tinting spray may be an idea, but again i am not really that bothered, i think the car is pretty much there now,

Not bad for a VAG bus. I'm still not keen on the wheel colour, but I don't know if any other colours would look any better!

when i spec'd them i was originally going for a machined face, then they said i could basically have whatever colour i wanted, and they really do some beautiful colours. I then saw the Mirror bronze and thought they were the ones however i was fully intending to go satin white or possibbly cream with the car... however i then changed my mind thinking that would be a complete waste for a daily and now i think the bronze works very well with the green...

the greens a bit grandady but thats what i think work.... kind of...

It's still look better if it was any other colour.

knowsit,
well my dad has a nice slatish grey mazda 3 next so if i take that off him too in many years to come that will be betterer

Ads_172 · Apr 26, 2011

The green has really grown on me over the last couple years. Used to hate it and now I only dislike it. Loads of depth when it's polished though.

Jason_E · Apr 26, 2011

One thing I loved about my green was how it popped after a good finish (Yes, West Coast customz language IIRC?).

Tom 46 · Apr 27, 2011

Good enough to lick, some would say?

Love that it's a Ssangyong colour! Winning.

Bluebeard · May 7, 2011

Neil, that airbrushing guy, ask him if he ever does work for Dave Kift.

If its the same bloke you should see the red VW transporter he did... WOW!!!

the wheels aren't originally that colour but that was the match we used for the rim, with a little bit of black rattlecan mixed in over the top of the colour prior to clearcoat...

Nafoff · May 12, 2011

Well my life situation has changed of recent and in the next few weeks i have a real nasty commute ahead of me. I will be doing around 112 miles daily. As much as i love the passat i will be filling it back up every 3rd day, and at £70 per tank its not really viable.

I am considering selling it and getting some kind of small diesel, clio, 106 or something.
I am unsure what i would get for the passat but £2k with all the bits still on would be nice...

whats peoples thoughts on the clio's or anything else... suggestions?

Ads_172 · May 12, 2011

112 miles in which direction?!?

Nafoff · May 12, 2011

Is the Passat not diesel?

Ah i had that engine in my old MK4. Not the best tbh. Infact my 20vt is better on fuel.

Its a shame it has to go. Get a polo TDi..

My mate had one and it used to get 70mpg..haha

They can look cool pretty easily. Although it doesnt look great there, it did in the metal.

Nafoff · May 12, 2011

Ive seen them for 2.5k. You'll get good money for yours from the "scene" bummers.
