Well it took me all of 1 week.......................
Before i started modding the VW Passat Runabout
Got a standard TDi 115bhp Passat and i have always like the way the VW scene mod there cars so it is my turn.....
Going for the Merc rims
Coilovers to lower it exactly where i want it
Smooth grill
Remap to 150BHP and 80 ftlb more torque
Got the rims on today............ Dont know why the VW scene are going for the Merc style but i think it looks awesome once lowered
When i got it
After today

Not good mate! Your modding skills have gone downhill since the 3dr!
I think it's high time you bought another RS big boy!

I'm not sure to be honest. If it had've been a dark coloured car then maybe it would have carried it off better.
Missus looks tidy though.

I like it as you said you are modding your runabout. I like the wheels but would remove the mercades badges.

Put it on air bags, so you can lower it to the floor then it will look
but you can still use it as a daily driver, and also colour code all that black plastic, and it will look lower any way.
