What did you do today to your CC ?

[PhantomX2K]

Not a freakin thing, I washed it Monday so it's being pampered in the garage and NOT getting dirty. Looks pretty though as I walk by and get in the Truck lol...

[EvoVEnto]

Installed a full APR RSC turboback with Stage 2 reflash. Too noisy, put back the stock catback while keeping the downpipe. Now missing the growl and pull of the catback. Also bought a set of AutoArt wheels, which will be on soon.

pics ?

Left it in my garage, Its been there about 3 weeks now. My Tahoe has a much better chance of surviving the potholes than the low profile tires on th CC. Also the Tahoe can been seen much better by other drivers at intersections where there is LARGE piles of snow piled up blocking visibility. But the CC does look good nice and clean in the garage.

Put of a set of door sills (less than $30)

BTW I took one off cuz allignment issue n now it doesn't really stick anymore....any help??.....Thx

[Veedubin02]

Nice pickup, I wish they had a set that said CC though, same with the monster mats. If you arent going to call it a Passat CC in the US then sell us stuff that doesnt say Passat.

On the non stick issue you may have to replace the double sided tape.

Exactly, those sill protectors are pretty cool looking and the price is right but I can't quite make myself get something that doesn't have CC on them. Up in Canada they wouldn't feel that way I suppose with their badged PASSAT CC's but down here it's another story. I don't know, maybe I'm being too anal and should get them anyway...

[Ween2010]

In the same boat as you...they look awesome but not sure about the whole Passat thing. Imagine the constant explaining to people as they get in your car. "I thought you said this was a CC"? Price is very tempting though!

I put 194 led interior lights in. they look good but they are not as bright as i would have liked. my next project is led footwells.

p.s. any clue as to why they would still be on (lightly dimmed) when they are supposed to be completely off ???

the passat runs a small current through the circuit when the car is on. Many people put one regular bulb somewhere in the circuit and that "solves" the problem. You can also use a Load Equalizer to add a few Ohms to the circuit.

hm in the State it has CC on it? cuz up here only have Passat badge...CC is in user manual and ads only.....no where to be seen on the car itself

[shadocontrol3!]

Our thoroughly Canadian VW dealer sells a set of Monster Mats with nothing on them. I wouldn't buy them with the embossed "Passat" either so I bought the blank ones. They've got to be available in the US.

Me, I just thumbed through the installation instructions for the front covered Euro cupholder, working up the guts to tackle this job in the spring. Gonna do it... Gonna do it...

Got Mercedes blue tint all around. Ordered some training wheels and am working on a getting a headlight retrofit done in a week or two.

Jay360o, just meant that I gathered from this thread below and pictures within that your Canadian cars are at least badged with "PASSAT CC" or is this wrong? So a PASSAT door sill would not look out of place.

Wired trigger wire for rear fogs on Saturday, awaiting Vag coding. Next up, smoked turn signals, maybe LEDs for interior lights, and footwell lighting.

It seems a few of you are interested in adding the missing footwell lighting. I'll try and do a quick write up this weekend for adding it to look and work like factory using factory parts, unfortunitely you'll need vag-com to activate.

[Ween2010]

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the pic, no biggie, jay360o, just an observation from the other Canadian CC picture. At least those sill protectors would not be out of place on your car!

Angelico- What Ween2010 said x2, very interested in this.

Took my new baby for its first wash. Just over 1000 miles on the clock since picking up my CC on Christmas eve. The Chicago winters don't exactly help keeping my White baby clean.

Fenders are fulled rolled and pinched, I'd say gained 1-3mm in the front and 2-4mm in the rear.

I removed the front tabs , the rear seams and reworked the fender supports.
