Just upgraded to a 2.0l B5.5 Passat SE from my Mk4 Polo. Here are some pics for those that don't know it. Hopefully I can do something interesting with this.

I like to combine euro look with elements of VIP style with my own twist which is what I plan to do with this. Some will love it and some will hate it.

Not got many pictures of the car but its reasonably clean and tidy. Will be sorting out a few bits of bodywork in the not too distant future.

Here are a few of my plans so far:

Buy adapters to fit the new wheels

215/35/18 tyres

Sort out a few bits of paint

Black leather and grey suede seats

Snakeskin headlining

Fridge in compartment between rear seats

Few junction produce and custom VIP accessories

Tinted windows

Possibly a few US spec bits

Chrome debadged grill

Chrome mirror covers

Pioneer ICE

Wood interior trim

First on the cards was the lowering. Took me and the girlfriend a day as ended up taking far more off the front than I needed to but you live and learn lol.

Dismantling struts the safe way

Down to the only level I know. May raise the engine at some point but it doesn't really bottom out.

Down and dirty

Next up is to order adaptors and tyres for the new wheels. Currently wrapped in 235/35/18s but will be stretching 215/35s on. Here is a quick trial fitment. Stance will need tweaking.

That's all for now.

Don't know if anyone is interested but got a few updates lol. Finally got my adapters and 215/35s stretched on to the 8s to make sure I can still run low with the poke. Few other small bits are brake callipers freshened up in Gold and Chrome wing mirrors.

And have a pic of the new 'bathroom feature'

Both things there are ridiculously pimp!

Like a baus!
