So i bought myself a new car, got kind of sick rolling in my Passat Mk1 with basically no springs after a few months.. also i bought a dog so i had to get some space for her aswell in the back 
So since i work @ a VW-dealer i had to get a VW. And i've always liked the look of Mk4 Variants.
Called on a few adds but all of them were either sold or in very poor condition..
But then i found one at the same company i work for but in another city, which i got a good deal on since i work there.. said and done i bought it the same day.
How it looked when i picked it up:
I ordered coilovers right away and began looking for wheels..
I wanted to find a set relativley fast cause there is a big meet in sweden the 27th of august, which i wanted to be ready for with my new car.
Thought a while about getting a set of AMG-rims, but had no luck in searching for them.
Then i found a set of Rays Volk Racing 3-piece split(17x8 & 17x9 with 215/40 front and back), that seemed perfect for my car, and had tires and spacers included for a good price. So i picked them up a few days later.
I bought them painted like that, and i'm going to have the centers repainted during the winter, and polish the lips. I'm not 100% sure about the paint at the moment, but they work fine for now i think(?).
Mounted them the same day, still without coilovers though so massive wheel-gap!:
I have also mounted a V6-4motion front-spoiler:
Tonight i'm going to mount the coilovers.. not sure how the backwheels will sit, so i might order a set of thicker spacers to get some more poke. I might also order new tires for more stretch for both the front and the back.
I have also ordered a new front grill and new vw-badges that i'm going to have painted black this weekend.
Plans for the future is:
Painting the roof and side-mirrors black.
Tinting the headlights in a darkish grey, and the taillamps in a darker red.
Change the color of the roof-lining(not sure yet which fabric/color).
Get new seats(Probably R32 leather-seats in black).
I guess more sets of wheels aswell.
And maybe in the future go for an air-ride kit.
That's all for now, updates will follow as soon as something happens!
(Btw other than the Passat i used to own, this is the first time i work with cars, so I'm learning as i go along).
