Standard 2007 mk5 tdi wagon in poverty spec but with one owner plus vw with only 28000 on her and full vag history ..belonged to the father in law and was only used at weekends and never left out in winter lol ...another reason to have it is I got it at trade price instead of vw having it ...so first mod

Next up I decided that I needed a change of wheels ..I really liked what I allready had but thought it needed something else

Found these on ebay cheap ..but needed new tyres ..audi tt mk2 8x17" with 47et ..so bought some new falkens in 225 / 45 / 17"

Would look Stunning with 19's :happy2:
Looks million times better lowered :notworthy:

Yes it would look better with bigger wheels ...but being a daily/family car I've made the compromise of fitting only 17" maybe stretch to 18" next year

What was the battery box off if you don't mind me asking?

Any golf/jetta/passat/leon/A3 etc ...the two side bits are £7ish and the lid about £8 from tps ...fits straight onto your standard tray..

Ok cool. Does look better than the bag and would be easier to keep clean. To be honest I didn't even know there was an alternative.

Haha cool alternative and really coming only with all the choice mods. Good work!

Depo lights look good on silver :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:
Did you try the reverse bulb in the headlight? It looks really bright, do you have the link? :wink:

Do like the wagon mate.
Interested in the switches on the first page, for all of the electric windows, mirrors, etc.
Easy to fit?
Not a fan of the light output on those Depo's however. The lense unit doesn't look it has a very good cut off.
However they look ace and wouldn't tell the difference when it's parked up.
Have you considered moving to Sportline springs? The extra little drop would be really nice. Or consider some cheaper coilovers. I had JOMs and found them very comfortable, I used my car daily often with friends in it. And had some of the worlds biggest speedbumps to get over and it was fine. :drinking:

Liking the OEM tricks mate.. Nice work!
Mind if I ask what method you used on your engine bay detail? Looks like its come up spot on! not toooo shiny!!

Hi yes switches easy to fit ...I didn't even remove door cards as the handles come apart with platic trim tools ...yes I would agree with beam pattern on these depo lights ..no kick up at all ..but I can see fine on road ..tbh I wish I had got sportline springs now but will stick with these for now ..I got switches from boldsport
