I love you Passat bro! Sorry to hear about the wheel situation... Is it too early to call dibs on the bentleys???

LOVING the wrapping - plaid and the CF. I have some CF Fabric I ned to use on my trim. Any "tricks, tips" or must know items about working with it?

[LukeyBabes]

I have found a few sets but i think it might be the same bloke with different user names. Yeah is abit early to call dibs. Need to find wheels and then buy air before taking the bentleys off. lol
Not really any tricks. Just heat it up and it sticks down very nicely.

[LukeyBabes]

I might aswell say where they gunna be. were 17 inch rs for reasonably cheap. NEED to find some more. Really want some.

There is a thread talking about someone doing the same sort of thing to other people that im going through. Not sure if its the same bloke but ive added my story to it.

so clean, and great job on the interior, especially the headliner. I've had to redo a headliner on a beetle once and it was an absolute b****.

[LukeyBabes]

Thanks dude. Got more plans for the interior. Want some tan leather seats in there.

[LukeyBabes]

Anyway, on a lighter note. I just made a impulse buy of some cream leathers in taunton.

Like so


Going to dye them tan with some stuff from here.

including the inserts in the door cars. But the majority of the door cars will stay black.

Sweet! love your progress mate... Keeeeep it up!

[LukeyBabes]

To be fair i've made no progress in about a year. lol. Haven't seen the car in 2 and half months . Bloody uni!
Was going to be big changes when i got back, with air install and new wheels but since the wheels fell through, i have no need for air yet. But its still on the cards!!

[LukeyBabes]

My B5 Passat...Hunt over!

Not much to report....other than i bought another set of 17 inch RS on german ebay.

wow clean,simple, unusual platform all the perfect makings of a great build just tossing this idea at you have you thought of getting the center parts of your seats recovered with the plaid you wrapped the car in. I also want to note the bently touch probably my favorite part of the build.

Thanks mate! Yeah i did consider that seat idea. But then i saw the cream leathers. Going for a classier look now rather than a shock value. Headlining might be changed. Not sure. Will see how it looks with the tan leather in there.

Haha shame the bentley wheels are going then as soon as i get air ride and my new wheels get here.

[yc_gearhead]

Well if your ditching the bently stuff I might have to pick up where you left off.

[LukeyBabes]

They will be for sale soon ish. So i can afford air ride. ;-)
