Congrats - that's rapid!
AMEN TO THAT!
I've been on the receiving end of flooded sunroof drains, wet BCM and electronics, and a dead car for a few days. Not fun at all
I suspect the OP is referring to plastidip, but autocorrect kicked-in. The wheels look black/charcoal in the first pic, and then "au naturale" in the last pic.
My quick snapshot of things to check:

It really depends where you live and where you drive. Unless you use new roads/motorways or live in or near new greenfield urban release areas where new roads are being created each month, you may...
Indeed - I strongly recommend removing the spider traps along with routine cleaning. I did neither and suffered from water ingress which got into the BCM and other electronics and turned the car into...
They use an engine specific to the task - nothing that is fitted to a commercially available vehicle. Testing occurs at relatively low RPM and the ignition timing can easily be varied. At the end of...

It shouldn't be an issue - mine doesn't fit all that snugly, but doesn't come loose at all.
I've often contemplated fitting a small black cable tie to fully prevent it from ever coming loose, but...
I remember seeing dyno graphs and figures on the Harding Performance website where the R600 made about 5kW over 5,500rpm and 15kW or so above 6,500 rpm over the original unmodified stock intake. That...
Very nice. Yeah, decluttering the rear was high on the agenda when I first bought this car!
I seem to be having issues with aliexpress links. However, there are a couple of matt/satin black painted turbo inlet elbows on aliexpress which are a good part and perform well. Where do you think...

Ah, that's good to hear! It seems that on the US forums (who perhaps drive like nutters?) they are needing to upgrade clutches before long. Glad to hear that's not the rule.
To be clear, I'm...
I'd definitely prefer to be in the Stage 1 tune boat and deal with a clutch replacement in future, rather than staying with the standard tune.
I'm almost certain a wise man once said "better to...
Tarmac know their stuff - hard to go wrong there!
Thoughts and prayers for your clutch! hehe ;)
Good to hear re: the Stage 1 approach. I've seen a few mixed and negative comments from users of the 034 tune on a facebook page dedicated to the Passat/Superb 206TSI models - worth doing your...
Unless you're really pushing the envelope power-wise with aftermarket turbos, there's little performance gain between any of the aftermarket systems and a modified factory intake system (aftermarket...
A few months ago I was a little bored with the de-badged rear on my Passat and stumbled upon these Chinese-market genuine OEM R-line grill badges on Aliexpress for under $10 landed:

Congrats! Glad to hear you're enjoying the new wheels.
I can highly recommend installing a throttle controller to eliminate the throttle lag and rather dead feeling when moving away from a stop....
Absolutely - VW make a particular point in the TSB for dealerships to be careful when cleaning the drains and to not apply excessive force, as any repairs to refit dislodged drains are a non-warranty...
Definitely go easy with the tool and don't force it... there's a risk of popping the lines off the sunroof itself if you push too hard from the sunroof end of the drain lines, and refitting them is a...
I had a little episode the week before last.
Big storm in Sydney - around 30mm in 5 minutes.
45 seconds into a journey the very next day, the digital dash on my MY18 Passat 206TSI started...
It looks to be this style of pedal if I'm not mistaken:
