Well I have finally decided on a design and plans to come for the car
Engine covers are going to be sprayed in a gloss/pearl white with real carbon pieces dotted around the engine bay (with some help from DK
)
Set of Eibach lowering springs are going to be fitted. I dont want any silly coilovers or the car to be difficult to drive with the road conditions, so a simple lowering of 30mm maximum and thats it, which will actually improve the comfort ride as it wont be so wallowy over the road
Hopefully I can win a set of 17" TT comps I am looking at on Ebay at the moment
roof rails are going, and the roof is going to be wrapped in a gloss black vinyl along with the mirrors as well to match and the rear is to be de-wipered
Grill is going to be replaced with a debadged version
Tints are coming next year
selection of appropriate stickers to come of course
bang goes the OEM theme
however most are reasonably priced mods and no silly manifolds or turbos to crack etc.
Purely cosmetic stuff and leaving the reliability of the car well alone
So far she has had a STG1 Revo remap, which is great. Bit more punch to the car and it has added around another 50-100 miles extra per tank (pending how heavy my right foot is, but if I drive sensibly)
watch this space.....

Nice Passat ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
Like what you've got planned.
I might be stating the obvious here, but TT Comps will be 5x100 and the Passat uses 5x112?

Re: Volkswagen Passat Estate TDI Sport - Revo'd and with Plans....
Thanks mate
Sorry these are not from a TT. They are from a different model Audi but are a genuine 5x112 and are the exact same design as the comps

Re: Volkswagen Passat Estate TDI Sport - Revo'd and with Plans....
To be honest I don't actually know. I never looked at the TDI leons as I wanted something much bigger. I would choose to buy an older slightly higher mileage Passat over a Leon TDI though. No offence to Seats, I love them to bits as you all know and the passat suited my criteria much better and the build quality is a little more solid than the Leon but it depends if you are willing to buy an older passat for the same price as a newer Leon. The passat IMO are a but better in terms of work horses of cars and I would have chosen the Leon but they don't come in an estate version
Call me a sheep for following the scene but for the money I had to buy a car out right and my very specific criteria, the passat ticked every box, and unfortunately the Leon or Seat models didn't...otherwise I would have stuck with the Seat brand

To be honest I could have ended up with a saloon, it was just a very lucky find indeed and it was literally 5 mins from where I lived so had to snap it up
Visually I think the lines of the estate suit mods a little better, but seen some awesome looking saloon passats on the UK passat forum! Loads of inspiration on there

nice plans mate, kinda makes me think i should of got a b5.5 instead of b6 
I got mine a few month's ago and still deciding what to do with it. Lol
Remap and tints are definately on the cards though. How dark are you planning to go with your tints?

Good to see you today Tone - just wanted to mention that if you want legal pressed plates you can get them at Tuningwerkes in Croydon without posting your docs off, they just take a copy of them and its all gravy, they're proper Dubmeister plates too, had them on my LCR. I know you wont want to spend money on them since you just got them but they are cheaper than the ticket you'll get for those German ones.
Plans for the 'ssat look good mate, so much for keeping it standard, but as said above good to have you back!

Re: Volkswagen Passat Estate TDI Sport - Revo'd and with Plans....
Well I am having second thoughts about the tints at the moment
Because I am getting a black vinyl roof, and coupled with the tints it may be too bigger concentrated area of black and the roof won't stand out as much then. I will see
The rear windows are already slightly factory tinted anyway
If I do get the tints then it will be one down from limo tint
Yeah good to see you today as well Martin! Loving that polo, looking absolutely mint....alot of dollar already spent on that lol! I think you should get it machine polished next
Thanks for the tip I will pop to tuninwerkes in the week then to get those sorted
Oh and I have just won the genuine Audi 17" comps. Come off an Audi A8 and are quite rare
Now I just need to decide on a colour for them. I don't want polished. I thought about pearlescent White but I don't think this will work either. They will only come out for meets and show season so could be a bit of a crazy colour....
Any ideas?

Yes those are the ones mate. Look like comps but seem to be slightly different. In that picture they look like a compressed version of an RS6 wheel
