1999 VW Passat V6 Syncrp (4motion) only 44k

Fitted my new (to me) alloys. 18" R32 alloys:







Obviously before fitting the alloys were cleaned, polished and protected with Gtechniq C5/ExoV2.

Im very happy with the choice and think they suit the car well.

Thanks for looking

Decided to remove a few scratches inflicted by some local kids, also allowed me the chance to use my new sanding tool. The scratches were sanded down with 1200grit sanding paper by hand followed with 3000grit via machine, then 5 stage with Rupes Bigfoot (inc compounded and pads).

rear bumper (this was actually caused with a snowboard, cant blame kids for this one)



rear quarter panel scratched with a bike or something:



Finally the one on the passenger front door. This one was very deep, so did what i could do, but not perfect



not a massive update, but thanks for viewing anyway

Yesterday I notice the bass wasnt sounding great so had a look at the subwoofer to find this:



A bit gutted, after reading a few difference forums many suggestions was to stay away from the like of glue and use a clear sealant which i did:



Does look the best but the sound has massively improved, but in reality I think it really needs replace soon

Also got the car Air Con regassed, I thought my car was good until i was working on a Saab and it was ICE COLD in comparison. There was a deal on groupon to have it regassed for £25 so i went for it, not really having high expectation with it being an old car, but to my surprise the report back was the air con system was in great condition and the temp readings i cool were impressive from before:



Got to the extent had to actually use the climate control instead of "low" setting as it was too cold lol

Also took a quick video. I had applied Dodo Juice Supernatural Glass Sealant about 6 months ago and this was to show how it is still holding up whilst driving in the rain:
