How to Sporty Personalise a Passat Estate Sport

[Andymac]

Any suggestions how to make a New Silver VW Passat Sport with 18" Alloys look even more different/Classey without becoming a Boy-Racer for the second time around!?

[mluton]

Welcome to the forum.

Take it back and buy an R36.:D

[Andymac]

This is a Company Car - We did not have the choice of Skoda - Boss thinks they are not "Up-Market" enough for us! I do wish to keep it looking exec but personnalised enough to be coolhttp://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif

[Captain Answer]

LED windscreen washer units, you know you want some

[hagis]

Blue lights underneath.

[Andymac]

R U guys serious?! - Could you order me some furry dice and anti static strips to match the blue lights?
Is there such a thing as Exec-Sport? or am I looking for advice in the wrong forum?:aargh4:

Cut two circles out of a bit of black plastic & voila! Convincing twin headlamps.
The height of tast & style.

Welcome aboard.

Add a lip spoiler?

Drop it?

Spacers on the hubs?

Tint the windows?

Avoid neons, Shazzer & Dazzer windscreen graphics, non-matching wheels and you'll be fine

clearly there is something else even more interesting going on in the back ground as everyone has their back to the car.

hi, pop to the passat section and locate a chap called James tiger woo (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/member.php?u=24710)(JTW)

He will tell you what he has done to his, all within keeping and the company won't mind either.;)

[kodkod.84]

Is the R36 actually out yet as I've not seen one in the flesh yet.
Or is it going to be rare like the W8 Passat (that car had sweet wheels).

I miss by old style 2001 Passat Sport Estate in Inky Blue. I must admit to putting a GT badge on the grille :o

Do they have strippers at car shows? :boggled:

[james_tiger_woo]

You could start with some chrome grills:

:D

[Andymac]

Excellent Grill - How do I get one of those? - That is just the job - Front end does need something and have thought about a chrome number plate holder for the rear. front cant be done ad number plate holder is black and integral to the bumber. Class idea - more info please

[Dudey Head]

That actually looks quite Art Deco!

[james_tiger_woo]

Blatant plug on my part as I got 10 sets from the US and I'm selling them on now for £17 (or more if you feel generous Lol):

I forget who, but someone did buy some chrome number plate surrounds and found that they scratched the paintwork quite badly - be warned....

[Andymac]

Nothing wrong with Art Deco - Looks good - Stands out from the crowd!

Bring back Art Deco - Nostalgia required today?

[james_tiger_woo]

That depends on what Art Deco :)

I wasn't being critical, just observant! :p
There's some great Art Deco architecture & furniture/ fittings knocking about. Some of it can be a bit questionable, mostly though it's pretty sleek & stylish.

Blimey... wouldn't it be stunning to gave this front end on a new Passat CC...?

[james_tiger_woo]

Love that front end :)

[paul b]

Mines an A6 (haha I'm useless !) but I've added a rear boot lip spoiler, Audi number plate surrounds, Audi chrome tax disc holder, boot mounted 6 disc CD changer, mudflaps, chrome mirrors and a centre arm rest.

Surely you could put a couple of them on your Passat ?

Paul

[Andymac]

Looking at all at moment - Any suggestions for where to get a nice Tax Disc Holder?
Thought a Carbon Fibre type look may be best with the Passat Dash?
Cheers

[paul b]

Well I got mine from fleabay... :(

Done just the job though... so I'm happy.

Certianly more descriptive! :D

[Andymac]

Where best for a nice set of number plates?
Need them Legal and with "GB" sign for abroad!

Any suggestions also guys?

Many thanks

[Andymac]

Any way to make the exhaust pipes look better? or best left hidden & plain!?

[Dudey Head]

If it wasn't a company car I'd say get a whole system inc. a high-flow cat to reduce back pressure & let the engine work a bit more freely.
It's a company car though isn't it? Certainly not worth the expense if it is, unless you get to keep it in a few years?
I wouldn't tinker with it cosmetically, I think it's ridiculous when people have a huge back box that's fed by a pea-shooter & chrome tailpipe sleeves are often glaryingly obvious & naff. Best not to tinker with anything if it can't be done properly. So many cars look bloody awful because their owner has "had a go"!

[murrcolr]

Thats a good point why is no one looking at the VW.

[Andymac]

Well - 1st purchase for the new car on its way from "James Tiger Woo" - Chrome Grill Set! Exhaust best left alone a fair point. The Chicago 18" wheels should be bling enough. Anyone got these? Found a nice Chrome/Plastic Number Plate Holder for rear on e-Bay last night. All I need now is to order my Thule Bike Rack for the roof and a Decent Tax Disc Holder - Any suggestions on those two please?

[paul b]

As for number plates... I bought these for my T5 the other day.

Got the same on my A6, but with Audi instead.

Hope you like the contribution to Exec Bling?!

[j40aja]

As for the exhaust, instead of adding sleeves or changing the thing for a full sports one why not just polish the existing pipes?

I did this using wire wool and Meguiar's Metal Polish and it came up a treat. Not that obvious but noticeable enough for my liking.
