My B5 passat... Not realy a build.

[LukeyBabes]

whats your future plans for this yoke then Lukeybabes

Plans are, air ride, get the RS on, Respray all the untidy bits and thinking I might add cruise control.

oh duh! haha sorry about that, been a while since I went through your thread

Haha that's ok. It is true that they are over played. Don't think they are over rated though.

With the electronic throttle ones I think its just a case of fitting a cruise control stalk and activating it on the ECU with VagCom. With my model with a cable I think you have to add an extra bit of loom, an actuator and a clutch switch along with the other two things. There is a little ball on my throttle that looks like its for an actuator to attach to for either cruise control or traction control.

awesome car

Thanks man! Hopefully I can make it awesomer so I don't get bored with it.

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?

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!

[DannyE32]

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.

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]

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

[daniel93]

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?

[BreadBaskett]

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.
