Sick

[LowlyDubb3r]

I got bored today so I installed my fogs that I bought awhile ago. They still need to be wired up but nice change to the looks.

and here's my current ride height.

Great man!, are you going to put the silver trim around the fogs back? or are you leaving it like this?

Thanks. I'm planning on painting the trim black. That chrome mustache is one of the things I really don't like about the front end.

do you suggest I use the D cups like in the mk5/6 rears? or not needed

Thanks,

Tony

I don't really have any suggestions but I can tell you from my experiences. On my GTI I had dcups and they worked just fine. Now I have bagyards and they do seem more comfy and secure. Overall I would say it all depends on how much you want to spend. Dcups with generic bags are a lot cheaper than bagyards. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask

Love your mods!!!!! Where did you purchase the low beam super white headlight bulbs and the license plate bulbs? I have a 2012 tiguan LE. I installed LED plate lights with resisters and keep getting a bulb out error. My 2010 tiguan with these bulbs didnt have a problem, maybe resister went bad.

thanks

There may be cheaper place but I just looked on amazon and ebay.

I really like the fogs with no chrome trim.

Well the PIAA DRL bulbs are on a nationwide backorder so I have to find an alternative but I did get new license plate lights.





I would say don't do reps and stay away from black wheels but that's just my opinions. As long as you like it.

What bulb type did you use for the License Plate? I can't seem to find a "replacement guide" to make sure I use the correct bulbs.

[passatSE]

use the size/bulb t10.

[passatSE]

use the size/bulb t10 168.

Thank you! Really appreciate it.

Not too shabby looking

Update: Caved today and got notched. I also put new spacers on so no they are 10.5 in the front and 15mm in the rear.

[Scotty Dont]

Love it!

Are you planning on going to First Class Fitment this year?

[LowlyDubb3r]

Thanks. I definitely wanna go. My new wheels should be on by then, hopefully I'll get picked to show.

[Scotty Dont]

Excellent. Hope to see ya there. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have my bags on by then.

You should go to vagfair this Sunday in PA

[Scotty Dont]

Unfortunately that's a bit of a hike for me on late notice. I'm from Western MA.

Oh I thought you were in NJ. Well see ya at other shows

Update: I put in the fog trim that I painted black and I'm very happy with the outcome.

Here's a pictures of the fitment after I put the new spacers.

[LowlyDubb3r]

ever wonder how big our cars are compared to a Rolls Royce Phantom....

[Dutchmastr9]

is that a phantom or a ghost? i know the new passat is big but the phantom towers over even s classes and is more boxy

[Dysprosius]

Based on the slope and the tailights, its a ghost

[Zarar]

How are the Ziza Lowbeam bulbs? Do they produce more light or are they only for show pirposes? Also what bulbs did you use for your DRLs (Any reason you don't use LED bulbs.)?

[Vippassat]

Hey man gotta give u props when props are due!! U remind me of me I'm coming from a custom bagged brown Nissan cube. So I know a thing or two about air!!! But I'm going VIP static with mine!! I'm on 20's and h&r aprons for now. I was going to go air but decided to go static. But back to u!!! Keep up the good work. I'm glad ur not in Cali lol..

[Vippassat]

Hey bro I have a question for u??? Would the mk6 gli Coilovers work with are car??? I'm trying to go with raceland altimo Coilovers 3.5 drop all around but of coarse no b7 or b6 applications :/

You're right it was a ghost. Big vehicle none the less.

They emit a very blue light which is cool looking but it doesn't project well. I have PIAA lowbeams now to match the DRL which project nicely. And I chose to do all PIAA so they would match in color.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm probably going to go for the VIP look as well but for now I am doing 19's because I want to ride lower and easier resale than 20's.

So to answer your question, yes mk6 coils will fit the car. The MKV, MKVI, B6 passat, B7 passat suspension is all the same but the spring rates are different. Just out of curiosity, why would you go from possibly doing air to getting racelands? Why don't you get some B&Gs?

Waz dat?
