Sure looks nice, but let me make one remark, it has too narrow tires for the engine's power. How much is it, 180HP? And those are 195/65-15 tires aren't they?



Great wet look though ;)

JGV, you are correct. I do believe the tires are to narrow. When the stockers are done I am going to see if I can move up to a 215 tire.
 
A fellow Passat....:bounce



Looks good, it that the new Stonehenge color? I really like the new GLS wheels, but I can't believe they are still putting 15's on them. Are you going to do any "mod's," like a chip or wheels? I love my car, just wish it had a sport suspension package like they get in Europe.....maybe I should trade for a W8 with sport package and 6 speed!



Do you post on vwvortex or clubb5?



Congrats on the new car and it's looking good!

It is the new Stonehenge color. I am currently saving up for the Hella HID system and the K04 kit. I was going to chip but i decided I might as well upgrade the turbo. ;) The theme on this car is the "OEM" look. I am trying to make the car look as stock as possible ala a "sleeper." Do you think the 19 inch RS4 wheels will give me away? ;)

I would love to see that color in person; I was thinking it was lighter than the Silverstone but darker than the Reflex Silver. I can't comment on the turbo upgrade but I agree; stick with the "stock sleeper" idea. IMHO, I like 16" or 17" wheels for a compromise between comfort and looks....the 19's will definitely give you away. But it is "your" car and do what makes you happy, you're the one driving it after all. Oh, I'll keep an eye out for you on vortex and b5. :xyxthumbs
 
Excellent work on a pretty tough color to get nice results out of :xyxthumbs



What did you use on the tires?
 
Nice job on the B5 from another B5'r ( Same name in Vortex and ClubB5 ) 16" wouldn't give you away tho .. anything bigger might.
