Hopefully the mods wont move my post :D
I realised not many people actually have a their own "This is my car" thread, so here goes;
Stock
You all know what a 2001 B5.5 Passat looks like.
Then I hit 50,000 miles
Taken by my passenger

Stock wheels, added OEM fogs, Hofele badgeless grille, chrome mirror covers, short antenna, Brembo MAX discs, Greenstuff pads and some stereo stuff.

Trying out my artistic licence

Fast forward 5,555 miles
Yup, I'm a geek, so what :P

I'm now lowered using a Koni Sports Suspension Kit, I've added an A6/S4 hybrid upper strut brace, tinted my rear lights and added an M3 lip spoiler - the badgeless grille is in the garage being refurbished - I hate stones and motorways

Further forward, still the same, only the grille is now back, I've moved house and bought a new camera.

Suspension settles a little more and I finally get some new wheels!
