IMO the wheels dont suit it, not sure if it's the colour, the style or both. I would of tried some chunky flat spokes in silver.

Looks a big and cool car though

Cant remember how I noticed mine had gone. Guessing it must have been knocking.

Have fun removing the old suspension? Found it a right pita on the front and nearly killed whittie with a spring

Something doesn't look right. Maybe you need the bumps trips and the skirts need to be white?

White on white is brilliant if you can pull it off!

Looks good, wheels do look big though.

alright for some.

Looking at buying a b6 later this year. But unless I can find a sensible insurance compang it'll be staying standard. Goes up nearly a grand for wheel and suspension mods. Wankers.

hmm i think it'd look better with the front plate relocated and the bumpstrips extended across. I like the passat estates though.
