Finally got round to tinting the lights last night
I was sceptical about this at first, as I did not think it would look right, but I am really pleased with the results!
The rears were an absolutely PITA!! With the curve of the lights, it was very difficult, and kept creasing. The material can be stretched and worked hard, but not too much as it does eventually split
Fronts were really quick and easy to do
Front
Rears
Lights before
After
I would only recommend these if you have HID's, as the front tints does affect the light a little, but with the HID's these are fine and still more than bright enough

I'm not sure to be honest. The lines and shape of the b6 are a lot cleaner
All you would need to do to a b6 is drop it and bbs rims and that's it. Haven owned one for a week as a courtesey car, it looks smart as it is and it's not got a retro feel to it as where the b5 generation has
I don't think it would mate

here is something else I have been working on over the last week...lots more to come for the engine bay by the end of this month
Neither do I.
As I'm not planning on keeping it that long, I'm just doing little things to personalise it.
I'm just deciding on a headunit, (was going to get a RCD500 but not planning on having another new-ish car) tempted by a Kenwood double din jobby, get my subs in the boot. (with slide partition to protect them from the dog) Window tints, 30mm drop (on springs) and some 19"'s. Oh and the obliguotory remap
was just looking for little tricks other people are doing to there "wagons" . You gonna mess with the mirrors? Paint them black? I was thinking about some chrome caps for mine.
Also the engine cover looks delicious

I was thinking about the mirrors...black or White but too much White will yell out chav to me and then I have over cooked it with the subtle styling. Vinyl roof perhaps....I'm not sure yet, the same with the tints. Basically I am taking my time modding this with getting the look right.
Springs are coming next year as well as the reconditioned Audi fat fives and that's it really. Clean and subtle
Looking good fella! Been thinking of getting an estate soon to replace my Passat.... really loving the estate's atm
