I'm thinking about buying some of these for my metallic black ( don't know the proper name ) Passat highline...

I would apply them on the front wings just above the chrome waistline stripe ;)

and if i fitted the above......... how about a pair of these to match??????........

and, when i finally get round to fitting my 18" RS4's ( sat in my garage :Blush2: )...i may fit wheel centre badges to match :approve:


What do you reckon people ? opinions please :1zhelp:

I think, if you apply all the items together, so you have the Wolfsburg alloys, numberplate surround and badges, then it would look pretty good. However, adding them bit by bit might look a bit silly when only the badges have been stuck on.

But, take note of my location, my opinion might not be valid... :biglaugh:

well the badges do look nice, but after reading all his negative feedback, i would not part with my hard earned for them.

Personally I would never add a badge to a car that tries to make it something its not.

And maybe a fancy stereo, arm rest, mudflaps, HID kit (desperately needed on A6s like mine, A4s, Passats etc), fog lights or whatever your car hasn't got. ;)

I have the fancy stereo ( better than any i have had in the past ) 6 disc in dash cd player, got the adjustable armrest, mudflaps, parking sensors, trick lights and full leather.

Just trying to make it a little bit "more" personalised ;)

fog's are a good idea :approve:

and all opinions are gratefully recieved........ that's what a forum is for :)

Okay so window tints and rear spoiler (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Passat-V6-Sport-Boot-Spoiler-Lip-Trim-3B-B5-3BG-B5-5_W0QQitemZ400038490001QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsP arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item400038490001&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C 240%3A1318) next...

Beware you would need to paint the spoiler!

I've fitted one of those lip spoilers myself would highly recommend one.

Passats are made at Emden and Mosel. Adding badges like that is fine as long as you also order a white shell suit, 1 inch thick artificial gold neck chain, LED trainers and a baseball cap.

"go faster" stuff ,on a 100 passat?
how well do those things go?
your remap only brings up 135,( although torque more important than bhp),
but does anyone know how that would compare with a 130 golf/bora?
different gear boxes i would think?

stewy.
