alright guys, ive been reading the forum for a while now as a guest and i have to say what a wicked site and a decent bunch of guys too. possibly the lowest chav count of any motoring forum??? cant be bad Anyways, Ive got a 1991 Passat 35i 1.8 CL. I bought it to do the 80mile/day commute and so far it has performed faultlessly. It has done jsut under 60k miles since new and has a folder full of stuff incluyding the original bill of sale and mots etc.. it had only done 46k miles in november 2005 when i bought it which is crazy low mileage and all i had to do was stick 4 good tyres on (all were original and distorted) and change the belt for peace of mind. jsut done the discs and pads today fopr less than £100. I am debating whether to modify its slightly by lowering and putting some ATS cups on it but is it too good a specimin to modify??? opinions please.. ill put pics in the members rides section below. retrorides.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=1147548343cheers all.

CUPS! CUPS! I personally think a bit of slammage and some dished alloys works wonders on those, totally transforms the look. It does sound like a decent standard motor but wheels 'n' springs is nothing irreversible. However, in three weeks time when you're bulk-buying NATO green paint and stencil paper....... Welcome to the forum!

ATS cups would be cool - but not as cool as Porsche 928 rims!
