Hello ladies and gentlemen!
My first post, but I've been lurking for a couple of months now, as I've just inherited my mom's '02 Passat /1.8T. 39Kmi's on the clock, bone stock w/steelies and gray cloth interior, but well maintained.
I helped her purchase this car, and if I had gotten my way, it would have been a variant/diesel, but she couldn't go there... also, if I were to be in a position to 'pick' a car to start modding, I would pick another color and interior package, but I've got what I got and I'm very grateful for this. (The Orange 'thing' was my only transportation for the last couple of years).
I'm hoping that someone can direct me to some images on this site of Green Passat's to help me become inspired with 'possibilities'. It just looks so...tame now. It Was a grandma's car after-all! This is good for LEO's as I don't get a second look, but it's not good for my masculinity! (or is it my ego?
)
For starters, I'd like to lower it some w/st coil overs & rear sway bar, get wheels/tires, possibly (?) loose all the chrome molding along with a vortex package of some kind, leather seats/interior, and some engine enhancements, so I'll keep all ya'all updated as it takes form.
TIA for your pictures, suggestions, and such great forum!
Blessings :salute:,
