[Blownaway]

Hey James, I dont see any Team Tim in your profile yet....I sent that ten bucks you owe me a month pal..... http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

[vw18t]

http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif

[RichieV6]

by far the nicest passat I've seen on clubb5 http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif . Everything works well together. The body work is stunning.

[vw18t]

one of the few very sweet ones here http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif

[gufi21]

thanks ron and richie... i'll have some more goodies soon.. i think.. unless all teh mod funds go to teh corrado.. hehe

[vw18t]

So when are you posting pics of the Corrado?

[RichieV6]

James, I want to pick your brain about your painted lower valences and sideskirts. Your profile says :
* Wetworks Color Matched Front
* Wetworks Color Matched Sides
* Wetworks Color Matched Rear

Is Wetworks a company that actually ships these parts, or is Wetworks just a paint shop? After the winter, my first move will be to paint the lower skirts and valences, so any advice would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

[RichieV6]

Wow. Wetworks seems to be a very serious and dedicated paint shop. I'll ask around and see which shop in Montreal is the best place to go for aftermarket applications.

thanks dude

[shnizep]

Dude!! You're on page 42 of Eurotuner magazine!!
kick ass!

[Scuba2001]

Whoa, I love that interior. Looks very sharp that way that the leather is a kinda Matte color. Very Nice touch

[hrvat1]

I really like your body kit. What kind is it?

Thanks and don't stop modding.
