Agreed, the bonnet/headlight arrangement looks a bit wazz, but otherwise, freakin stunning! beautiful car.
Edit! I love it man! The stance is just perfect!

Whoa! Now that is really clean. Fair play to him for having the vision, what really makes it, is the restraint shown - he could have blacken the rear lights or gone OTT with the wheels, but thankfully he hasn't.
Maybe this is the answer to what Seth was asking a few days ago on another thread. Its knowing when to stop!
I wonder if the MK2 Passat is the new Hyundai Stellar?

Posting on Dave the owner's behalf, I'm John (took these piccies today) Gotta say there's a fair bit of work in progress here- it'll get the bonnet tweaked, an OE front lip on the lower valance, and always always more lowering/stance work... but I'm really glad someone picked up on the restraint thing. We had a big long chat today about what he'd do, money no object, and came to the conclusion that really it'd be pretty much what you see here, but with everything torn down and refreshed. The wheels are a case in point- much is made of the 'euro' fat rollerskate stance, especially in the dub scene, but sometimes things look better when they look as though they work. Dave isn't much of a net-goer, but I'm sure he'll appreciate peoples comments  |

Bonnet makes it look a bit Kadett Wagen.

I really like that, and definately got to agree with giving kudos for not going OTT looks wise. Looks tough, but still understated in a way.

That is gorge. Looks a bit J-style with the bonnet as is. If he debadged the back I reckon a lot of people would have to ask what it was. Bonnet done it'll be perfick.

It'll be getting some minor tweaking to the numberplate recess to match its size to a non-prefix private plate he's looking at. I think Dave's ethos is very much to make something tough looking, but anonymous. He's never so chuffed as when someone doesn't know what it is |

We tried it out on some fat little 8x13's of mine a while back... unfortunately to get them sitting acceptably close to the arches the floorpan ends up fully on the pavement  |

My in-laws owned a MK2 Passat estate in tasteful gold with brown interior, think i've found the estate to replace our ageing Xantia |

Yeah, the restraint shown on that one is what makes it. And as no-one else has mentioned it top marks for the photography too! Really nice images that do the car proud |
