Okay people nothing special, well is to me but thats the car.

[scottthehat]

[mallo]

Rather like this shot.

Snow pictures 1st time it snowed lol

 

[mallo]

Its a 1.9 tdi, love my diesel's, was the 130bhp model had a remap to 167.6bhp does me fine Very good motorway car and i do around 25 shows a year plus a couple in europe so diesel works well for me

 

[purehillmanimp]

Very nice! I'm going to be looking for a diesel soon and might have to add the passat to my list. Is it on air or juice?

 

[mallo]

Air mate, juice is rubbish and far to rough lol

Question: Why Mercedes badges on the wheel centres?

Question: Why Mercedes badges on the wheel centres?

They are rare wheels from Mercedes

Smart, good shots too, looks like my hubby's astra though - front splitter turns into a snow plough when the snow is this deep!

 

[DizMatt]

what the hell is that grill replacement? interesting
I've been looking at 2.5TDI A4's if I can find one and can't get a petrol I like.

is the suspension adjustable?

 

[AndyWest]

That is awesome!! Can i do that to my VW Sharan????

 

[c_robinson]

*have the council employed you as a snow plough?

 

[TJenkos]

but why on earth do that to any car let alone a family estate!! madness!?

Why not, it looks good can do all the mods i want yet till travel every where i like, can load up my camera gear and others and get the mates in and off we go shooting The practical side and having the looks is spot on.

is the suspension adjustable?

It should be its air ride, press a button the front goes up same on back two buttons one for the front on for the rear

Plus it can be drove low very low, so low i some times catch the sump on Cats Eye's lol When lowered the sump sits on the floor, when on grass the sills do lol but all propper by the suspension.

How many cars can do that, look clean and fresh and still go down dirt tracks and over fields to get that perfect shot

 

[Doc]

Great images of your motor and I like your reg plate

 

[wibbly]

Nice ride dude

I have a Passat, 170 TDI, it's the way forward

 

[davidh6781]

waaaahoooo that is sexy, from a car enthusiast i love it vags are great. Pics are also well done.

Bet it doesn't go out much in this weather. My v6 is hard work when its like this.

 

[jamesoliverstone]

I like the pictures mate

I guess I just dont understand why you would modify a) an estate car and b) one that has a massey ferguson engine under the hood

Hey, whatever floats your boat mate and afterall modifying is a very personal thing so good on you for bieng different.

 

[AliB]

I thought you had a body in the boot till I read about the air bits!

 

[gazedd]

Love it!
Got one of these myself recently and did have a thought in the back of my head to do something like this but having done it all before I decided not to and continue funding the house!

 

[mallo]

Bet it doesn't go out much in this weather. My v6 is hard work when its like this.

Your hving a laugh, its covered in snow, spent an hour digging her out of my drive way 2night, she gets used and abused its a car lol She not to bad at going sideways in the snow untill traction kicks in lol

She is a show car but a work horse aswell

 

[thacko]

Love the 4th pic in the first post.

Good looking motor u have mate

you obviously have no idea how big the dub scene is then.:shrug:

nice car though, i want to swap my smoothed gttdi mk4 for a passat soon.

 

[dgillespie]

love this car mallo
loved ** old golf...seen it oneumania
and in couple of mags
stuning....hopefully ill be able to afford a air setup on my car soon enough

 

[martyp]

That is one of the cleanest Passat's I've ever seen, love the photos too!!

Just a pity we need to have a front licence plate over here, spoils the look of the bumper and doesn't look much better on the dash...
