VIP Inspired B5.5 Wagon

[EuroWagon]

Car is currently having built and sculpted fenders and quarters to tuck my 19x10s. The plan is to have the car fully able to tuck all 4 corners with no rubbing and be able to drive with the rears tucked with no rubbing. I will post pictures once complete. I hope to be a pioneer within my euro and passat community.

Can't say I've ever seen one of these go the VIP direction. I'll be very interested to see the fender work as it comes along.

If I might make a couple minor suggestions, consider ditching the adapters and running the OZs with wobble bolts. This would allow you to rebuild them with considerably deeper lips, which I think they're begging for if you want them to read as VIP rather than Euro. Also, IMHO, rubber floor mats have no place in a VIP ride.

Looks like a great start!

Thank you for your comments.

I guess I am going more for the VIP look because a true VIP platform is Japanese and my car is obviously not that. I will make sure to post pictures once the fender and quarter work is done.

Thanks
