VW trying to be VIP wtf?

[vwmatt]

why not...I'm trying to change up the euro scene down here in Texas. I'm sure some the the H-town guys have seen my car around at a couple of shows but here's a pic for ya, btw I just picked up a set of Rays Victrixs today

[Solo_D33A]

oooooooo... I think that's going to be hard..... I mean I've certainly never saw a VW go lux style in any way......

[Avantgarde]

well it's nothing new, but It's always good to see. A lot of VW guys do the stretch and some even rock Eurolines or Hereboranni.

Should look good though!

[vwmatt]

oh yeah it's been done, it was between a set of eurolines or victrixs but the eurolines weren't in that good of shape and the victrixs gave me a little more poke in the rear.

I plan on running plenty of stretch. Eventually I plan on getting bags, but it's coming together slowly

[DownSouthS13]

my buddy has a 06 A4 and its vip style...its not just for the japonese cars!

[vwmatt]

I'm not taking the vip style to heart, but I did get my wheels in. I still plan on getting bags but that's about where the vip style ends

[vwmatt]

18x8 et31 and 18x9 et35, I'm thinking about polishing them out. There are a few scratches that look like they went through the clear.

[RotaryAE86]

How could you forget the A6? I think Audi's are very easy to obtain since their resale value sucks. :biggthumpup:

[bigcoop]

To the OP: It's probably g oing to be easier to start with the Passat than any other VW model. Good Luck

that's because they are unreliable german junk! i feel sorry for anyone driving an audi. of course i may be biased being that i worked on them for quite a long time.

[Jscrilla21]

Your well on your way thats a clean vw

[vwmatt]

well I still need to finish up with a high speed polishing wheel but here's a test fit I did this morning

[vwmatt]

I swapped out the center see see how it would look, got more poke out back and more tuckage up front. I'm going to swap them back to see which I like better

[cefiroa32]

nice!

[vwmatt]

so I did put the wrong centers in, too much poke in the rear and too much tuck up front, but I fixed it and can't wait to get bags :)

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p179/passat_98/new%20wheels/100_0239.jpg

[PhiSig]

Thats not too bad, I saw a FUSA on a M3 at HIN

[NYC03Alti]

^^That's the one thing I'venever liked about Vdubs and Audis...the rear wheel is off-center in the wheelwell when slammed.

Is there any way you can fix that?

[vwmatt]

not easily, it's the shitty rear beam that causes that

[kaizer]

not easily, it's the shitty rear beam that causes that

WORD! Same thing on my shitty Sentra as well.

[vwmatt]

vw's suck for that

I followed that build on VWVortex and there was a ton of custom work done to that Audi. It is just sick!! Darrick's Audi is pretty nice as well, but that A6 is just money!

[kaizer]

Is that riding on bumpstop? Seems like if there's anymore compression, it's gonna grind the fender with the wheels eh?

looks good and good job polishing up them rims. good luck with the rest of the biuld and i think your going to end up with one very nice vip styled vw. How many hours did you spend on the polishing total or per wheel?

[VIPFlame]

hotness its like das boot hot german sex mixed with japanese sex kittens! wait i gotta stop i feel weird

[applecore]

vw's own

[vwmatt]

Thanks for the comments

How many hours did you spend on the polishing total or per wheel?

once I got it down it was about 3 hours on each wheel; it took me a hole day to get the first one to where I liked it. I was using the wrong emory bars :pat:

[KLD]

Love it! I've had all kinds of Vdubs...from OG bugs to jettas, golfs, I even had a mk2 jetta coupe!

You have a really nice VW. My favorite way to build any car is "CLEAN." Yours is right there man...nice work.

[chucnguyen]

i used to want a jetta. until i found out how the quality it was from a friend. hehe

[KLD]

Vw's are weird man...from a lot of experience, they are a headache to own, but the "love" you have for the car is incredible! Things break, you fix it, move on. I really miss my old bug. Probably the best car I've ever had!

[The Avalon]

Very clean. Sorry, not a VW fan. I like how it kinda resembles that A6 though..

[vwmatt]

it's more of an Audi than VW:shrug:

[Vip619]

not a big fan of vw but very clean...

[callaghan.]

theres a fine line between cleanly done euro-style and VIPstyle. many euro's trick people into thinking they are want to be "VIP" due to stance, stretched tires, big lips, and very clean kits.

to me as clean and nice your passat is, it still lacks something that would make me look at it and think VIPstyle. it looks like most nicely modded euros, with some nice wheels. its a sick car, just doesnt have the vipstyle look.

[ZoO]

VWs have been doin the wide wheels, stretched tires, and low offsets for years now. but its not called VIP or referred to as VIP.

[chucnguyen]

true. even though VIP-style comes from Asia but VIP-style doesn't necessarily needs to be an Asian car. VIP-style is just a name similar to luxury cars.

[vwmatt]

been a while but I thought I give a bit of an update. The blue passat is gone but it's been replaced with something bigger and better. An '09 CC, bags have been ordered and I hope they'll be on before the Texas meet. Here's some pics.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3308/3185070306_3d668e240b.jpg

[firelizard]

Nice car.

Between the Jetta and Passat in the lineup? Or above the Passat?

[phrosttz0]

the CC is def a good looking car, front reminds me of a 3rd Gen Gs on a smalller scale

[RotaryAE86]

its funny, on the commercial it says looks like no other car. but you cant tell me that doesnt resemble a MB CLS......:thelaw:

it's above the Passat. It's slightly bigger and nicer on the inside

[StockStar]

VW, Chevy, Mercedes, Buick, Acura, Infiniti......... sure why not. VIP is open to any car mfg in my opinion. SUBJECTIVE! Its what you make it, so I guess know you need a set of "VIP" rims to make it official. There is no need to wait on Japan to give us ideas on how our cars should look. Be that trend setter:biggthumpup:

[3UZFE]

http://www.1010tires.com/images/wheels/Audi_A8IT199_lg.jpg
i like these for it, but real flush like, of course. there's just something about german cars runnin german wheels that does it for me. maybe too boring for what your aim is tho..

[kalicki]

i saw a new black vw rabbit bagged wit some work rims on it
imo it came out really nice

[vwmatt]

[Jedidiah]

Well, that didn't take long for someone to start to slam a CC.

MAN THAT THING LOOKS AWESOME!!

What parts of Texas are you from? I'm in Dallas and if you are local would love to see this thing sometime.. what wheels are you getting?

[vwmatt]

I'm down in Houston. I plan on being at the meet this weekend if you are going. I got a cheap deal on a set of RS4 reps so I'll run those till I find something with the offsets I like (8.5et45 is almost flush)

[hybridioN]

i absolutely love the styling of the CC, they made it look so classy but yet sporty. everything they should have done to the phaeton.

[shoez]

I love CCs, welcome back to the forum!

[kidoekid]

the new VW is badass bro! cant to see your wheel update when you get some.

get comfy in 101 noobcakes.

[3UZFE]

nice choice on the rs4's tho. like i said earlier german cars runnin german wheels make me salivate.
btw don't listen to this fool when i saw cc like a year ago in pre-prod. i wanted to do that ish SOOO bad. :biggthumpup:

[Gao Jian]

not sure how I feel about those wheels but I am liking the car. It has a very different body design... and it looks great slammed.

[toyotabb]

get comfy in 101 noobcakes.

Very comfy.

Wheels look sick. More pics ? :-)

[CamryVIP]

lol at the ls400 guy. The CC is hot the only thing left to set it off are some wheels. Baby CLS for the win. I wouldn't mind having that as a daily driver. Passat CC vs. Hyundai Genesis...tough choice. CC is pure sex, genesis is bang for the buck.

anyone know if audi plans to make a version of the passat cc in their lineup. THAT would be sex because all audis look nice.

[VipDout]

[20sburning]

[JDMmuscle]

Never been a fan of V-dubs, BUT i have been jealous of them.... they way the can tuck wheel is unrivaled and just plan crazy, i have some friends that run VW's they look pretty sick.



Beautiful car man, it flows

[bigdreams]

very clean. i'm impressed. hopefully this model will be more popular than the Phaeton. though the Phaeton was a really nice car, VW just didn't advertise it much and it started out at an extremly high price. higher than most Audis when it first came out

[cheez80]

i think the cc posted looks like an accord. no knock on the owner, but i just don't like how it looks :(

[sas]

in belgium, etc. it's called cleaned style

[mrkenji]

ive noticed that a lot of vw owners have amazing fitment which is sick.. i think with some extra body mods there could be some really clean vip inspired vws

[shawnthemonster]

i think this fitment all started with euro cars......

[3UZFE]

^^ didn't want to say it myself cuhz I have no proof, but I'll join you on that one.
