Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Bernie... and my wife (Kristin) and we are the brand new owners of a 2001.5 VW Passat Triptronic Wagon GLS 1.8T. We have been searching for quite sometime and as of January 19th, 2004. We have it.
My wife and I have been very involved in the VW scene. And with our new wagon, we can contribute to the ever growing numbers of the B5 and B5.5 family.
We were thinking of doing a few minor modifications for the time being, until we save up for some wheels and suspension.
For our first post, we are asking "What are one of your 1st Mods, when you got your car?"
So far, 5 days have gone by and we have manage to add a Sunglass Holder, VW "Future Driver on Board" Sun Shade, Rear Sun Shade, Kenwood eXceleron CD Player, Neuspeed License Plate Frame, dubNation stickers... also we deBadge the Passat emblem and deWiper the hatch. If everything works out today, I will be install a K&N Panel Filter, GreedSpeed Snub Mount, Beru Spark Plugs and a TT Diverter Valve.
We went by the VW dealership and also ordered, W8 Overhead Dome Light and Chrome Roof Rails.
I was wondering if there are anymore "budget mods" that we can do?
One thing I can't seem to find is where to get the adapter to add an aftermarket shift knob to the factory triptronic shifter.
Any comments, recommendations and pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bernie & Kristin.
