Tuning "Passat B3" (Volkswagen Passat B3) with their own hands

A German-made passenger car "Volkswagen Passat b3" is one of the most popular in its class in the domestic and world market. Still - this model serves as a rare example of how joint efforts of designers and engineers can create an almost perfect "universal", combining comfort, solidity and reliability. However, despite such great popularity, motorists are in no hurry to make tuning by their own hands. "Passat b3" - this is almost a luxury car, which must be treated very carefully. Nevertheless, abroad (for example, in Poland) there are many car owners who rework the "Trade winds" completely, as they say, from A to Z. And today we will consider how the Volkswagen Passat b3-universal tuning by its own hands .

Styling

First of all, car enthusiasts pay attention to the appearance of the car and try to radically change it. So, the most popular elements of styling are aerodynamic body kits. On our roads, such specimens are considered a rarity, but in the West sports "Passengers" run almost everywhere.

Our car owners can understand: why install plastic skirts, if they deprive the possibility of normal trips to nature? After all, the "VZ" series is positioned as a family car. Hence the conclusion that the most practical solution for styling will not be plastic trinkets, but high-quality airbrushing, alternative optics and light toning.

The first way can be attributed more to the professional, as to make a really qualitative drawing on the body is only possible to the master. Although some motorists paint details themselves, and it turns out they have it pretty beautiful. True, so far it has been practiced in domestic VAZs. More expensive cars, like the "Trade wind", it is still better to entrust to professionals. What can not be said about alternative optics. You can buy it in almost every city, and the installation does not require drilling additional holes and laying new wires. Such lights (also known as "crystal") are mounted on a regular place and illuminate the road no worse than the original ones. By the way, not only crystal optics is acceptable for the Volkswagen Passat b3. Tuning can consist of an installation of the so-called "angel eyes", which give the car an unusual and mysterious look. Moreover, these luminous rings can be used in place of dimensions. In any case, a simple family "station wagon" will look very sporty and even aggressive.

Also no less popular is the lenticular front optics, which enhances the brightness of the glow. These are all known xenon lenses, which are mounted in a standard block headlamp in place of regular "halogens". What else can be supplemented with the external tuning "Volkswagen Passat b3"?

For greater effect and individuality, you can purchase plastic cilia for headlights. Of course, their cost is high (about 2-3 thousand per pair), but their shape significantly changes the geometry of the headlights, thereby changing the design of the car.

Tuning "Passat b3": deflectors of windows and hood

In the past few years, the real hit was the deflectors of the side windows and bonnet. Installation of the first will create a natural ventilation, protect the driver and passengers from direct sunlight (in part) and prevent the penetration of dust inside the cabin. But why are they not installed on cars of this class? The answer lies in their appearance - in fact, these deflectors are an element of the "collective farm" tuning and do not give sportsiness and certainly more solidity to your "Volkswagen". In addition, for their installation on the hood, it is necessary to drill additional holes, which then are very difficult to eliminate.

Drives

The tuning of "Passat b3" ("Volkswagen") necessarily involves the installation of new wheel disks. Fortunately, today's range provides an opportunity to pick up products that best match the tastes of the car enthusiast. But do not make the wheels low-profile - the slightest impact on the curb will certainly lead to the formation of a new "bump." Diameter should remain standard, which will save you from premature rupture of the tire.

Interior

If you decide to give the Volkswagen a more sporty look, then, for complete harmony, you need to make adjustments to the interior of the car. So, to give the interior a dynamic and individuality, it takes care of installing a new steering wheel, sports seats, as well as a complete replacement of the inner skin. Complete the internal tuning "Passat b3" installation of more advanced speakers and radio. If desired, you can install one subwoofer here (there's a lot of room in the trunk).

Tuning «Volkswagen Passat b3»: modernization of the suspension

In order to make the car more maneuverable and stable on the road, it is not necessary to install on the body of various plastic body kit. However, this is a very complicated tuning. "Volkswagen Passat b3" -universal can be modified in another way, upgrading the standard suspension of the car (much more reasonable solution for our roads). Of course, it's impossible to finish all the running ones with your own hands, but the installation of gas-filled shock absorbers will make Volkswagen more stable and maneuverable on the highway. By the way, sports cars are equipped with the same racks.

Conclusion

Tuning "Passat b3" is not only a way to stand out from the gray crowd of cars, emphasizing your style and personality, but also the possibility of improving technical characteristics. Concluding our story, I would like to draw attention to chip-tuning, which implies reprogramming the electronic control unit. Thanks to this you will have an excellent opportunity to improve the characteristics of the dynamics of the car's acceleration, without resorting to significant technical interventions.

So, you figured out how to make tuning by yourself. "Passat b3" ("Volkswagen") is an excellent car for technical improvements and styling, which, if desired, can be transformed beyond recognition!
