Passat .:R36

[JasonM]

Decided to treat myself to this last October but only getting around to creating a thread now,

1 of only 3 that I know of in Northern Ireland at the minute and only about 150 UK spec models ever made.

Spec List:
3.6 VR6, 300bhp, 4motion, 6sp DSG.
RNS510, premium bluetooth, climatronic, flappy paddles, front and rear sensors, electric rear window blind, front and rear heated seats, leather/alcantara electric sports seats with memory function, 6cd changer, xenons, power fold wing mirrors.

Since purchasing I have added a Cupra R front splitter, wind deflectors, plateless front and shortened plate on rear, LED sidelights to match the xenons. I am happy with how the car sits at the minute but would consider a wheel change, exhaust upgrade and suspension upgrade in the future and maybe a subtle window tint.

Haven't really had the car at many shows but recently took it to GTINI Castlewellan and also on the R36 stand at DubFiction (in the peak district).

Here's a few pics:

The R36 line up, managed to get 9 of them all at the same place!

Very nice! Great to see something different.

Any interior shots?

Would prefer it with the number plate on personally.

Looks fantastic - bet there's some note off it under acceleration.

An exhaust upgrade could be fantastic

 

[Carson]

That is lovely! Any pictures of the back?

 

[diesel-dave]

I love that, so different. It's not often they aren't a TDI. I'm sure it sounds great with the foot down.

 

[Gambit]

nice to have something different....majority of folks on road will think TDI until they see and hear it!

 

[AlpineF30]

That's an amazing look car, all the best with it.

I was behind you on the way to GTINI Castlewellan. Has serious road presence.

 

[KJS]

Wow amazing car. Heath to drive

 

[Ge0rge]

mmm yummy i prefer estate but thats nice too

 

[Eager]

That's cool. Well done. Takes big balls to buy something like that in silly petrol engine spec

 

[rupertfinch]

Lovely. Now put the plate back in the correct place, permanently locating it in the windscreen has zero class.

 

[sam_9n]

Lovely! Really fancied an estate one of these, think the fuel cost would kill me though. Maybe in a couple of years.

Exhaust upgrade will make it perfect.

Class, good to see one of these on here! They sound amazing with an exhaust, definitely do it!

 

[JasonM]

Thanks for all the responses guys! Really appreciate it

Very nice! Great to see something different.

Cheers!
Yeah I found some pics from when she was for sale

That is lovely! Any pictures of the back?

Lovely. Now put the plate back in the correct place, permanently locating it in the windscreen has zero class.

MOT is due soon so front plate will be back on for a while, just prefer the clean front end for shows etc.

Class, good to see one of these on here! They sound amazing with an exhaust, definitely do it!

Exhaust systems for these cars cost a clean fortune but if I can one for a decent price it's definitely happening!

Not usually a massive VW fan, but love how these engines sound! Hard to beat the note they make!

 

[Con S3]

I absolutely love these.........so rare. Those seats are fantastic too. First time I have seen the interior of one!! Awesome!

[Brennan]

Really like these, I'm sure it sounds fantastic

I think I've seen this heading into belfast from n'ards road direction a few mornings - definitely caught my eye - the rarity of them and lack of replicas really sets them apart from mk5 r32s! Gorgeous interior
