Project Passat, Phase 1
Well, it's official. Project Passat has kicked off. I got my new wheels today. They are 18" Privat Netz and I have to say, I freakin love 'em. It's amazing how much of a difference wheels make on a car. In fact, I'll show you the difference here with a "before" and "after" picture:
Before
After:
The first picture isn't the best quality, but you get the idea.
If you look closely, you'll also notice that took off the God-forsaken mudflaps. If you own a VW that has ever had mudflaps, you will understand the frustration. They scrape on everything, and loudly. So those little bastards are gone now.
I also de-badged my car so that it doesn't say Passat on it anymore. It's not that I don't like the name Passat, it's just that it looks much cleaner without the emblem. Here's another pic:
So, now that Phase 1 is complete, it's time to quickly move to Phase 2: Suspension. I'll be placing the order tonight for Bilstein shocks and Neuspeed springs, droppin' it 1.5 inches and what I like to call "curb mockery". If you like to drive like me or any of my buddies that drive euro's, you know exactly what curb mockery is.
Until next time.
