Cheers all Mallo

nice that passat is sexy//..

The car looks sick.  I like it a lot.  I have the same rims in chrome on my VW CC :biggthumpup:

Cheers mate. Any pics of the VW? Alot easier to get hold of the aphards in america, god knows why guess its something to do with no one in the choosing them for the sl500 lol

I don't care how many people have them, they look sick.

Well my car is 4x4.  I got it a month ago and have not lowered it yet.  That will all change by the Spring time.  Sorry for the thread jack lol

Nice Mallo, was a fan of your hatch too.

:biggthumpup:
 
Love the Passat!!!

sick passat mallo,  I used to LOVE max power hahaha titties and cars doesnt get much better.

Cheers for all the comments, wasnt sure how it would go down, easy to run the 1st euro club but to adventure into the VIP elite and get good replys makes me smile :)
 
The car will be featured in Max Power when im ready, along side my mates Mk1 Golf, had single features but much rather do a double now more fun.
The Mk1 in question below..

looking clean man nice wagon

Love waaagons. Especially a VW wagon laid out on alphards. They look pretty crazy with the face/windows different finishes too. Like say diamond cut face/polished window or visa versa. I always wanted to see them with like gloss black windows and a satin or textured face.

I made some adapters for the passats rear swing arm. It moves the wheel back 1" so it is close to centered in the wheel well when it is laid out. I made an extra set and can make more if more people want them, but I have one ready to ship right now for $150 if anyone is interested.
