Is there a before and after shot to see which bit has been colour coded?
If you look at my avatar you can see how it used to look.

Re: New Rocco GTS Project Kick Off - Now Lowered.

Just got the car back after having the lower grille colour coded and the mirrors painted gloss black. http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o587/Tegra_Boy/VW_Scirocco/IMAG0078_zps00tack4i.jpg http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o587/Tegra_Boy/VW_Scirocco/IMAG0079_zpsgvbm4rre.jpg http://i1149.photobuck...

Re: My Facelift Viper Green Scirocco

I went for the H&Rs as they drop around 30-35mm which is perfect IMHO and I fitted them myself using UK LEEs guide as and it was pretty easy.

Re: New Rocco GTS Project Kick Off - Now Lowered.

Yeah I saw them but was worried about the quality would be great to know what you think of the fit and quality.

Re: Bluetooth doesn't auto connect to music, phone only

What phone is it?

I have a similar issue but in my Audi TT RS, my HTC works fine in the Rocco but in many other cars it skips keeps cutting out during streaming.

Have you tried another phone in your car to see if it's the car and head unit or if it's the actual phone.

Yep, it's all in the tech as they say. I used to work for an IT reseller before I joined NVIDIA six years ago.

Re: Wheel offset

Happy new year everyone! They are replacing my standard 19's and are staggered 8.5x19 ET35 on the front and 9.5x19 ET32 on the rear, I get the feeling the fronts will be fine but the rear may be an issue?

Re: 180 bhp not enough?

Why do you need more than 180BHP as standard, the difference of 30BHP once your off the mark and moving is not that great and when blasting down a country B road you'll hardly notice above 50 mph. I think a lot of HP figures are pure BS and strictly for the marketing material / pub, it should be abo...

Re: My Rocco project

Those seats are proper lovely but I'm not a fan of BC coilies, I had them on a car a few years ago and they were crashy as sin and also very common to suffer with knocking, which is a shame as they good really well built. If you want coilovers, spend the money on a really good set or go for the MSS ...

Re: New Rocco GTS Project Kick Off - Now Lowered.

Hi mate, ive got a 2013 GTS but in black and am really tempted to change to the H&R springs and spacers to suit. How does the car feel compared to stock and exactly which bits do i need? Mines petrol though, not diesel The ride is way better than stock on our GTS but it had ridiculously hard sp...

Re: New Rocco GTS Project Kick Off - Now Lowered.

Was busy yesterday lowering the Rocco and sticking on some new H&R spacers. Much happier with the way the car looks now and I'm surprised to say that it rides much better than the OEM springs that were just way too stiff, even in sport mode it feels both more comfortable and compliant. I've also...

Re: My Facelift Viper Green Scirocco

I like the wheels but they are replica Audi wheels, why not just buy Audi oem as they will be lighter and probably better quality. As for lowering, I'd go with springs for now until you're sure what route you're going to take. I run coilovers on my TT RS, whilst they are both comfortable and very tu...

Re: New Rocco GTS Project Kick Off

Thanks Lee, yeah ours came de-striped, there's no way the misses would have driven a car with stripes down it.

The painted grill mod is the next one on the list now. Our H&R springs have just been delivered courtesy of Amazon, just waiting for the spacers and that's another job to crack on with.
