Nice garage man! Love the rides and mods!

What accessories/mods are on your B7? Here's what I think I noticed:

Cargo mat
Cargo blacks
Grocery bag hook
Door sills (can I see a pic I'm debating getting them)
Rear lip spoiler
Sport pedals
Monster mats
New fog bulbs
New parking light bulbs
Euro switch
Bumper cover
First aid kit
LED interior lights
LED license plate lights
Tints


Anything else ?

I'm quite envious of your accessory collection I must say

Holy sweet-ass house, Batman Where do you live? It looks beautiful!

- Jeremy.

Its my beach house... Its in Lower Delaware... Great place to spend the weekends with the family!

I noticed the sill plates are installed in the wrong area; They're supposed to be on the painted part of the sill not the plastic part; Did you install them yourself? Also I see you have the plate frame do you have:


Wheel locks
Cargo net
Engine heater
Stem caps
Warning triangle
Torch flashlight


That would make you have everything sans wind deflectors and the nonavailable splash guards!

I've got the sill plates... On the paint. The don't fully covert like some... But they still look nice. Will get a pic soon of that location vice his on the plastic.

I installed the door sill o the plastic because it can be done earthier way, paint area or plastic trim area. My Touareg has it form factory on the plastic trim area, also on the instruction and picture of the door sill (i have the B6 door sill model from ECStuning.com) shows them installed on the plastic trim tea as I did myself. I think like better on the plastic since that area is higher and more expose to be scratched. Before I pill the adhesive I put them in the paint area but obviously I finally decide to installed them on the plastic trim area.

DVD IN MOTION ACTIVE
A full size VW OEM Bristol 18" wheel/tire as spare.
Wheels lock
VW OEM Black logo stem caps.
VW OEM torch flashlight
Radar cable connected directly to the fuse box.
Warning Triangle
Fire extinguisher
VW OEM LCD cleaning wipes
Engine heater?? no way I'm in Texas..we don't need it down here.

LED license plate lights (PIAA EXTREME WHITE BULB) NO LED. SAME LOOK AND NO DISPLAY ERROR

[TDI Brad]

Kchorro I saw you have two grocery hooks, can you take a pic of the one on passenger side one. I installed one on the driver side and wanted to do the passenger side but I not sure about drilling holes back there to do so. If I can see how you did yours might decide to do it on mine.

Gwernerjr the PIAA bulbs for the plate lights would be cheaper but if you are dead set on LED plate lights here is what I did http://www.myturbodiesel.com/forum/f...-lights-11865/

Wowie zowie you are my B7 accessory idol! You don't have the cargo net though? You have practically everything possible! That is too cool! And I can see what you are saying about the plastic part getting more scuffs then the metal part since it's higher. I may just leave my car completely stock though with no mods or accessories at all because I'm going to want to do what you did and get literally everything which will cost me plenty more then I should spend on a leased car

Here are the pictures showing the passenger side hook and one showing the driver side hook.
just put it where you wanted it and make some hole with a small drill bit depending of your screw size or not bigger than that.. and voila ! just like OEM. it does not need the click in-between the hook and the metal back panel... I used a regular screw. It works perfect.
if you need help let me know...

Finally getting around to posting photos. I've had it since halloween. Spoiler went on today. Will post again after a minor lowering and putting on 19's.

[Kchorro]

How can I do to post large pictures?
Every time I posted some they look small...

I believe that it is an option that you have to select before it produces the embed code, to pics large versus medium versus small; At least that is how it is for me on my flickr account. I wish there was an easier way to upload pictures.

I would imagine so as my 3.6 has a battery cover like a door on the left since the battery is in the trunk on the VR6 model. There must be a part number for it somewhere.


Now if I could only find the part numbers for the carbon fiber trim I'd be set... Or maybe a Canadian might be up to trade...

I use photobucket and upload 1M photo files, then use the IMG code.

Thanks

Black is great until it has the least bit of dirt on it.

[Volcombug]

Decided not to go with the TDI because it would take forever to get one. Here's what he picked up last night.

check out your other thread, i posted how you can post pictures. use facebook as your photo uploader. and you can always delete the picture on facebook after posting, that will not affect the pics in our forum.

Love that you have the two passats that's so cool! If you had got the TDI then I could've taken pics with you (i'd have to drive across country haha) and it would've been 2.5 S, TDI SE, and 3.6 SEL a little of everything! But I can understand not wanting to wait for the TDI. Congratulations on your new B7!!!

Nice! Congrats! I've debated on getting a 2nd Passat bc my wife's car is starting to cost too much to maintain.

Taptalk app on a snartphone. Takes only 2 clicks. Either upload from gallery, or right from the camera.

I'll second the Photobucket suggestion.. Been using it for years, and they do have an App for the iPhone so you can take and post pictures without having to go through a computer..

[Kchorro]

I just trying Tapatalk from my iphone4 to see how it works and see of uploading pics will be easier..

Changed out all interior lights to LED and most of the headlights. Euroswitch installed this past week, ordered springs yesterday and getting ready to order rims Monday.

[darrelld]

I will vote for the photobucket option, download the photobucket app for iPhone and it will generate all the links you need to post a photo with tapatalk.
