VW B6 Passat Wagon - "Pipe'n'Slippers" New shoes

[brightsideteeem]

Well then. For anyone who looked at my other RR about my Leon,

You will know it had to go to make way for this one:

He's got a bit bigger since this was taken lol.

So after a bit of a search, found this Vw Passat Estate and liked the way it drove and how comfortable it was. I'm a fan of VAG group TDI's so I opted for the 2.0PDTDI (140).
Not really planning on much as the car has to remain senseble(ish) as I use it for carrying the dog about in. Hopefully you guy's can help me with idea's on how to make it "mine" though

Spec:
2006 Volkswagen Passat Varient SE 140PS Shadow Blue
6 Speed Manual
Comfort Pack
SEL style grill
Orange Side Lights
RCD310- Now JVC KW-XR811, Including DAB radio, bluetooth handsfree etc
2 X 12" JBL 1200W Subs custom "stealth" cover
600W T1 Audio LS2.5 Amplifier - to be upgraded...
Witter Towbar

And that's pretty much it. Had it about 5months now and quite happy with it, just wish I got one with leather, but c'est la vie..

For now, I want to lower it about 35-40mm, put some new shoes on and tint the windows.

To Do:
HID conversion 6000K - Done!
Window Tints
40mm Apex Lowering Springs
18"/19" Rims - Done!

Hopefully It will end up looking ok, considering I'm only 21 driving round in a grandad mobile lol

-I've changed the colours to suit the dash lights now

(wire's are more tidy now)

Any suggestions will be noted, but I dont have a lot to spend. lol

like this

Just get the properties of the photo and copy and paste between the IMG links

I'm in the process of putting them into my photobucket. It's because it was easiest to upload to flikr rather than photobucket off my phone lol


I think I've sorted it...

 

[brightsideteeem]

forgot to add a few things onto this.

I've now got "D"Banded metal pressed plates, 6K HID's, and I've made a kind of "stealth shelf" for the sub and amp in the back. (mainly to protect it from the mutt lol)

*pics to follow*

Also, got some wheels for bugger all, theyre 17" BMW fitment so are going to be a crazy offset. A lot of people saying it will be too mad, but I'm gonna give it a go anyway. Still refurbing them atm, taking my time because of this crappy weather, but if It dosnt work out I know where I can get a cheap set of 19"'s from.

Think I'm going to get the wheels on the car before I decide what I'm doing suspension wise, as I was origionaly just going to put 40mm lowering springs on, but with the 'crazy wheels', I might not be low enough, so I'm looking into some coilovers. Heard a lot of good things about AP's. But I was very impressed with the set of JOM Blueline's that were on a friends Mk4 Golf. I ended up selling mine to a user on here when I sold my Leon....

Also, a friend of mine can Tint windows, so that will be getting done very early next year.

Want one of these in saloon though, really nice cars IMO!

Plans sound good
Go for 19's personally if only dropping 40mm, other wise you'd be running big tyres on 18's

Some nice bentley wheels would look smart, and they are 5x112 IIRC
A load of nice ones on ed38 mate to take inspiration from

Passed your house the other day!

19's

Got pulled for my German plates, so back on originals.

Dont know if I mentioned I made the sub and amp hidden. Made a cover and carpeted it to match, wouldnt know they was there now. Lost a little boot space, but theres always more than enough lol


Today got myself some alloy's on the cheap.

Italian Replica Audi RS6/ Golf R alloys.

Got them dirt cheap and I'm more than pleased.

Running 235/35/19

Have to excuse the dirtyness lol

I know it needs a wack with the lowering stick, but I think it looks very OEM+

What do you guys thenk anyway?

 

[brightsideteeem]

Here's a pic showing the HID's, sidelights and when I had my german Plate on lol

I'll post better pic's tommorow after its had a wash

Funnily enought, my mate in work liked mine so much, he got a saloon!

Really nice mocha colour aswell. I'm jealous his has parking sensors though lol

 

[brightsideteeem]

new subs.

...for when the dog gets in lol

peer pressured into this... not sure myself. They like it though lol

Still rides nice on the 19"s, but I Have to be very careful near pot holes... 40psi ftw! lol

 

[tyrer]

Ahhhh now I know where you are! Remember seeing you in this, but dare I say it's now turned red and is smaller and a little more French...

 

[brightsideteeem]
