Well tried to fit the seats last night and they are too wide, they were catching on the centre console. so now im on the hunt for some 1M seats.

Nice one. I was thinking about getting one of those instead of the passat a while ago.

Is it a petrol or diesel?

Its a really nice car to be fair! Its a diesel, does around 650 miles per tank! love it.

Looks pretty good dude, all I would say is maybe throw some spacers on!

Thanks dude, im looking at getting some new wheels soon anyway, looking at some Rotiforms, then I shall set it up properly, camber, spacers etc.

Hey Guys,

So I bought my car about a year ago and its still a work in Progress, So I thought I would start a build thread to show you my current progress,

Here is the car the day I got it, as you can see my girlfriend is very well trained.




Okay, so the first modification to the car was on the interior, when I had the car it had a horrible walnut dash insert etc. so I got them wrapped in carbon and and bought myself some alcantara Extras.




The next thing was to lower the car and buy some new shoes. I am currently running on Weitec coilovers, soon to be KW V3 and VMR replicas, FOR NOW.








So after I had lowered the car it was time to concentrate on the body work. I bought myself some Msport Front and rear Bumpers and some Halo Headlights.






Next was the carbon bits, Bought myself some BMWP Carbon Mirrors and Splitters.


Okay as im a keen cyclist, trying to get my road bike in the back of the car was not a pretty sight, so I set out to buy myself a roof rack, here is the result.




Don't think it looks to bad with the roof rack, look pretty mean. Next was a carbon rear diffuser.












Think this really sets the back end off, I need to get a 130i exhaust system, the car looks stupid with the tiny diesel exhaust. But I haven't got round to doing this yet however it is on the list. The next mod was Matte black kidney grilles.


Think this makes the whole front end look so much more aggressive.
The most recent purchase was some Recaro Buckets out of a Corsa VXR, Looking to fit them this weekend.






Think these will look awesome in the car, i'm then going to get the whole interior retrimmed.

Hope you all like what iv done so far.
