Found a spoiler for The Goldshwagen only available on euro models . Trading visor for it. Off to paint when it comes.

Well still enjoying my new wagen,two things I don't like. 1: I have to push button to open hatch or doors....not use too having doors that lock. 2: I can't put my junk on the roof,never thought I would miss piling stuff up on the roof but I am.Gonna get something made so I can put some swag up top and cure my fix to do this. New spoiler is on the Goldshwagen, post pics soon.
I have decided to focus on doing another split bus. Got my eye on a few panels hiding in the brush. One is a barn door double door walk thru one is a regular 66 panel. Hoping the barn door is doable it has great Patina. Keep yall posted...

That is the one thing that my wife hates about our Passat is the rear hatch. I'll be looking to see what you come up with for the roof rack system. I just cannot afford a yakama or a lund system now.
What year is yours again, mine is a 2004. we need to get them together for a photoshoot... LOL.

In the photos they even look alike, but Kale's is more copper colored in reality.

I was thinking of doing the same thing when I saw the price on those eyelids.
I also found a different rear spoiler than you...
LOL,

Remember, I still want that extra Rivi wheel you have...

Yeah there are other styles of spoilers. The one I have is a genuine VW passat spoiler. I just thought the cars lights would look more aggresive if I painted em that way.

Eliminated my daytime running lights,Euro Switch next.

by ASBug on Mon Jan 02, 2012 10:31 pm

LMK which Euro light switch you pick, that was what I also planned on doing, I'm stalking you...
LOL.

EBay $25.00

by ASBug on Tue Jan 03, 2012 9:29 am

That is the one I was looking at.
I was just wondering if you had another source.
I bought my '82's VW centercaps from the one seller in Cali that has these switches as well and they came fast and looked great.
Thanks,
