Default Superb frontend @ my B5
I love the look of the Skoda Superb, so I put the whole front on my Passat B5

Skoda never build a Superb Combi but I do
now my car is really unique

Wow...definitely a big WOW! I love it!

Slightly sharper lines and a micro badge. You should find a nice small VW emblem to put in place of the Skoda badge though. Or are you changing everything over?

How hard was the whole process. Other then minor modifications as far as mounting points go, radiator supports stuff like that was it a simple task. You just picked up the hood, grill, headlights, bumper, and fenders right? Anything else?

the left paddle shifter I will use for switching to high beam and the right for for switching the brake light - if somebody drive too near behind me

if I would have had an automatic transmission then I would have it connected the paddles to the transmission

the R-badges in the speedometer are stickers, here is a high resolution scan of these logo
http://www.passatplus.de/dateien/racing-logo.tif

to change the frontend at an B5.5 is more easily, there is nothing do adapt
but at my B5 I must remove a little bit sheet metal
http://www.superb-combi.de/umbau/02.jpg
http://www.superb-combi.de/umbau/03.jpg

and make new holes for the fender, thats all
http://www.superb-combi.de/umbau/06.jpg

http://www.superb-combi.de/umbau/09.jpg

additionally some electrical work for the head ligths

my summer wheel are vw phaeton champion

Congratulations on a job well done. I like the conversion and I'd keep the Skoda badge on the front - you now have probably the only Superb Variant.
