My B5 passat... Not realy a build.

Lol and now I'm looking at wheels. All my money is going to be wasted.

[NeedingAnAudi]

Lol I wouldn't recommend getting one. Really tiring. Thanks though!

haha It's better than not having money for wheels, and life etc I suppose. I'm trying to get into Audi, since thats the only thing I want to do.

Only reason I know what "lorry" is is because Top Gear is one of my favorite shows. Congrats on the job! I need me one of those.

I have a job now! About damn time! CWS in Glastonbury, building the recycling lorries for the moment. BUT the boss has a race team and runs many cars including a Ginetta in the GT supercup. I went out with him racing yesterday on my second day of work. And once there isn't so much pressure on him to get the lorries finished I will be on the cars a lot more.
Yesterday I felt bad seeing some new image splits getting some abuse on his car and being chucked about though.

Yeah I kinda guessed it would be freezing but thought id ask! Haha.
The wiring looks like its gonna be a bitch to sort to be honest! You tacklig it yourself?

Yeah it will be easy! lol.

Thanks for the quick response! This thread has given me countless ideas. I love what you're doing. I need more! nom nom nom

Glad I could inspire.

Fantastic build! Fantastic 12 pages...

What was the product that you used to paint the sun shades?

Thanks! Was just satin black spray paint. Stayed tacky for ages though for some reason on the fabric part of the visors. And when I say ages I mean months. Its ok now though.

I'd say its very easy. Easy to take out and easy to re wrap.

[BreadBaskett]

How hard was the headliner to remove and re-wrapped? I'm looking into also doing a suede for mine. Amazing Passat. The cleanest B5 I've seen by far!

[LukeyBabes]

How were the leather seats in the cold weather without them being heated? As im thinking about leather in my car!

I say go for it with the polished wheels mate! Will look brilliant!

They are freezing when you first sit on them. But will be the same when I first get in anyway. lol

Polish them!!!

Not sure on polished. Might buy another wheel to test it out on.

My B5 passat... Polish the Land rover wheels?

so, I know you shared a link before to the company you sourced the leather/vinyl color change kit but I was hoping that you'd list the actual products as well as the pot of goodness that secured your headliner

I'm looking at doing something like this and would like to color my plastics/vinyls and leathers

just assuming it was cleaner, filler, dye, protectant and some sponges and the like. cheers for the info

get those rs's on there already

I just got the colour change kit and some filler from that website in the link. And a general pot of contact adhesive for the headliner. Only got the filler because some of the leather has some cracking.

Finialy bought the dash part of the heated seats loom. So now I can have a warm bum once they are fitted.



Also, I was watching some american show and I saw a discovery on it with polished wheels. Same style as mine I think. But cant find any pictures of the done. Sort of considering getting mine polished now once the sun returns. But not sure. What do people think?
