That Passat on the front cover of Rabbit

Quite handy info for me.

1. What 18" alloys look like on a B5 chassis car
2. What a debadged rear end looks like
3. What a mesh front end looks like without a badge

Interesting motor too. I'm not doing engine mods like that, but those brakes look rather pleasant.

Cheers,

Drew.

 

Just need to be lower i feel.

 

It's got Koni coil overs fitted now,saw it at Combe

 

and 212mm Brembos , wouldn't fancy track daying that.

 

Yes, that was a cool misprint! Those are obviously special brakes for 10" minilite alloys!

Cheers,

Drew.

 

It was the way they misprinted in the text twice (front and rear)AND in the specs column. Hell they really must be 212mm.

 

1. 20" rims will fit with no mods on a B5 platform
2. my Passats never had the badges fitted from new, there still in the car handbook
3. Don't like it either
