Oldschool Passat Love

cheers guys.

The headrest delete has grown on me now. It opens up the interior heaps, and it goes well with VW more glass and daylight approch at thier older models.

Would like to go a little bit lower but dont think I can without being too low. Im not overly proud of the way I lowered it, haha. It is currently a city car with minimal country driving so I gave it a short term, quick drop while I work out a coilover system.

Ok so another little update.

The wood grain trim on the dashboard had faded and left if looking pretty darn average. I got some home decor vinyl contact wrap and covered all the existing trim pieces. I decided to go with the wood grain style again as I like OEM and the old school look. Also a lighter brown to somewhat match the seats.

Excuse the camera phone quality. You cant really see the wood grain. The new vinyl also has a textured wood feel. I'll bring out the SLR when its a nicer day down here in Tas.

That looks real neat!
Such a pity about these ****ty dashboards though. PITA to fix, but it would be worth it!

Very tidy Passat mate, love the mods so far, keeping it pretty OEM
Headrest delete and drop in height has made the world of difference!
