Ultimate Dubs 2011
Ultimate Dubs has kicked off the 2011 show season and both Mark and myself had our cars inside. Mark’s Passat was sporting a complete face lift front and rear from last year, along with a complete trim by MJ Interiors and some rather sick Bentley Continental GT seats (I’ll get Mark to put up his build thread). My Audi had changed a lot from the standard car I picked up last year. It’s now murdered out sitting on 19″ Audi S6 rims using all oem parts (I’ll do a build post to). I also had a new interior done by MJ including Audi S5 bucket seats.
The show was a great opener to the season again lots of great new cars again a credit to the organisers.
Anyway here are my Ultimate Dubs 2011 pictures.

Passat gets new wheels
We spent this Saturday at our local tyre fitter swapping the tyres on my Golf onto the E Class Mercedes rims I brought and fitting a set of tyres to the Carlsson alloys Pureklas polished for us and trying them on the Passat.
It was touch and go when the Passat was on the jack it looked as though there was no way the Passat would drop to the floor. So after fitting front and rear wheels on the drivers side we test lowered the rear with a magazine between the wheel and the arch to try and stop any damage if it was to close. We dropped it down and with luck on our side the camber pulled the rim under the arch!
We did the same with the front and off side wheels which all tucked nicely. And the result?
See for yourself…
