Help needed identifying Passat body kit please

[Reubiedoo]

Hi guys. Have been a lurker here for a while but never posted yet.

Really want to know if anyone knows what this body kit is.

It may be the guy has just had the black plastic done up and the number plat lowered on the front bumper - I can't tell. It looks a bit like the RS kit, but it more subtle I think. I really like the look, and would like to do something similar.

Thanks for looking, and any advice appreciated!

I like that it's nice and smooth. Rieger springs to mind.

id go with a customised standard one like you say valances have been sprayed and numberplate relocated does the rubstrip normally run along the front

its not the rieger one

Thanks for the input fellas.

YeahI thought it was just a touch up of the standard bumpers. I'd like to know how much it would cost to have the rough black plastic prepared and painted, and the number plate mount dropped because it looks great to me.

BTW, I have searched for AGES to see if I could find it but no luck.

like this

cost me probably around £15 in paint and paper to do it.

used filler primer to build it up rather than try and smooth the plastic down.
worked up from 120 wet and dry up to 600.
few layers of paint - this is where my mistake was i used halfords rattle cans rather than going to vw so its not a perfect match. rubbed down with with 600 again
4 or 5 of layers of lacquer rubbed down with 1500 grit then polished.

if theres not a recess for the numberplate then moving it is easy as long as its not been screwed in.

if you dont fancy doing it yourself then a bodyshop shouldnt charge much for it maybe £100

That is spot on fella thanks!
