will look better when it slowered and the grill is smooth

but colourcode all the black aswell, or even take the mouldings off so the doors are smooth

seen a couple of passats done, and if done nice and subtle they look awsome

Right then looks good but imo the wheel centre should be a darker colour and polished rim and decked low so the aches just cover the tyre

EXACTLY what i am going to do....slightly darken the rims and MAYBE get the edge polished up....not to sure on that bit as they always get all pitted and look shit. Probably paint the whole rim the same
