B5.5 Passat Rollers

[Nash_TDI]

Here are a few rollers of my passat, thanks to my friend Arash. It parks harder than it rolls, but looks good rolling too.

Let me know what you think.

Whoa. Very nice.

If it parks even harder, can we see those pics too?

LOL, so that is what my car would look like riced out? No thanks, but if you can stand to drive it and deal with it every day more power to you. It does look mean, but I fear it will look all cracked up from below in a short time, tires gone square with ear-bleeding road noise, and bra-strap taxing road manners over every single bump in the road.

I must be getting old, because if I were still in high school I would be all over that car. Now I am just pissed Volkswagen won't sell a proper VOLKSWAGEN minivan here.

Man you are a critic. Despite your comments it rides great. We also have other wheels/tires for it as well so the big ones won't be on all the time. And the car is aligned withing factory specs, so no tire squaring aside from normal.

Thanks, I'll get those up at some point.

Riced out? I don't see huge gaudy unpainted body kits on this car. Only oem Votex parts and actually VAG wheels? Opinions are one thing, but flaming is another. Maybe its not your style but, wow, you went a little overboard. And, to one of your customers at that.

He came here asking for opinions, he got some. Yes, I am a critic. Sorry, I just do not see the B5 as a car that lends itself to these types of mods. Reminds me of an early Taurus SHO or a Dodge Spirit RT or something, that's all.

Even the B5 Passat's evil cousin, the Audi RS4, has hardly anything different appearing than its plebian A4 sibling. Other than badging, one would be hard pressed to know there was a 420hp engine lurking under the hood. Maybe I just like the sleeper look.

If we ALL thought the same thing, the world would be a really boring place, now wouldn't it?

Here are a few rollers of my wife's passat, thanks to my friend Arash. It parks harder than it rolls, but looks good rolling too.

Let me know what you think.

Here is the highlighted quote from the OP's original post, just in case you did not see it.

Where do you buy the Votex kits and what do they run? Do you have to paint them or can you buy them painted already?

 

[Nash_TDI]

The dealer did a clearance thing and you get it there, but I got mine from ECStuning.

 

[corvettecrazy]

Sick! Nice and clean too.

 

[gearjam]

Looks awesome! Keep it up.

 

[igiveup]

I am jealous, love the badgeless grill.

 

[Nash_TDI]

Thanks guys. Let me know if anybody ever sees it.

 

[HetfieldJ]

Oh my word! Passat is absolutely stunning.

True! Mounting to passat manifold?

 

[Nash_TDI]

As of now, yes. Tubular manifold is on the mk4.

 

[Jethro]

Only thing I don't like is the combination of mesh and chrome grills.

Love the stance! ZOMG it's Bada$$!
