Scirocco Central

good for retention values or bad? Will it become a more desirable car (that's obviously if they don't bring out a new model R)? or is it already a dinosaur? Actually, has anyone heard if VW ARE resurrecting the model with a 'nicer' engine? (if that's the reason they removed it in the first place) La...

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I contacted my dealer about the mysterious disappearance of the Roc R from the VW site. He confirmed it was due to the Eu Emissions rules. He has not heard of any updates to the Roc, but HAS heard that VW are seriously considering a new Corrado. Interesti...

Well Saturday really! My friendly dealer is bringing the car to me on trade plates on saturday evening and sticking it in the garage.. so I can drive at midnight if I choose to! But I won't as I'll be drunk! It's a saturday night after all! I went to sign papers the other day and had a quick look - ...

I know I'm probably slightly biased to Candy anyway but your R will look fantastic in white. It's the 2 month wait to collect which would be bothering me especially as you know the car is built and should be in the country soon. Hi Ian.. the 2 month wait isn't bothering me as I am away for most of ...

Well IF i had any doubts, there's no going back now!!! Got a call from the dealer this evening to say car is built !!! So when I was considering ringing him today to swap back to black........ Gulp! I laughed that on collecting the car on Sept 1st, I'd be placing my order for a black one! Hopefully ...

I upgraded from a GT to the R as soon as the R became available. There is no comparison! The R is a totally different drive and ride. Its very special!

Hi MacMan - Am based near Wigan and work in Warrington - I drive the M6 every day in my black R driving at 50-60mph in the inside lane! And general update - I have a confimed build date for sometime this month I believe! fast compared to my original wait! But still just swapping in September. Starti...

Ooh Bobsie, not sure its a facelifted one??? All I know is that there is more included as standard on it such as leather, Parking sensors, Telephone prep. Is that 'facelifted?'

Hi all I wonder how many of the early Roc R owners are still here... anyway. You might remember me as I ordered one on the day of orders opening in 2009 and finally received my Black R in Nov 2010 - a 13month wait! So here I am again having placed an order TODAY for my second! Black roc R is being r...

I originally had a Scirocco GT and upgraded to an R in November 2010. I love it and like you never see any other women driving one. Having said that, I have only ever seen one other R on the road in all the time I have had one!

I agree with the others... it is completely useless! In this nice weather, I wish it would slide! it DOES give a nice lightness to the potentially dark cabin. My husband is 6'3" and we got it to give him headroom! I never close the cover. The extra 2 inches or so make a big difference! No issue...

I am a second Roc owner too - 2.0 GT to an R and you'll find a lot of us R owners are 2X owners too :-)

LadyRocR can you post some before and after pics for us so we can see what the damage was like and how good the repair is? If you could find out if it is a 'smart repair' or whatever the technique is called then it could be useful if anybody else has the same problem? Oh Sorry! All done and dusted ...

No idea what a smart repair is sorry! All I know is that my scuffed wheels will be taken off, repaired, baked at some point ( I don;t know the whole process but baking in a mobile oven was mentioned) and the wheels out back on and balanced etc :-)

Thanks again RW and Jeff I have got a very happy end to this ... finally rang my wonderful dealership and they have a contract with an alloy repair person. He is doing both wheels for £84 :clap: in the dealership on Weds. Dealer man is coming for my car on Weds am and dropping it back off on Weds ni...

Thanks Jeff! I did an automated quote and it came back at £180 for both front wheels! I have no idea what the finish of the wheels means so left it as TW Sport 1 (i think). Is that expensive for just toughing up 2 scuffs? Seems it to me but then I have no idea how much anything costs! Thanks LadyRoc...

Alloy scuff repair companies (NW)? BOTH front alloys are now scuffed :cry: First was trying to dodge a car crashing into me! and second was last night when I drove too close to a kerb to reach the number pad to type in a code to get out of a hotel carpark :cry: Am gutted! Have googled but not sure w...

They are GORGEOUS!!! But they wouldn't last 2 mins with me. Have kerbed one of my 19" trying to avoid a car that was coming straight at me Your car Looks fantastic!

I got my RocR after a 12mth wait in November 2010. Recently I have had 2 surveys from companies through the post. 2 separate companies have sent a survey and both claim to be doing it on behalf of VW. One of them have even sent a SECOND copy of their survey as I didn't respond to the first one they ...

I work at a High school in south Warrington and see a Viper Green parked up at a house at the bottom of the road leading to our lower school :-) Is that any of you Warrington Viper Greens or is that a 4th?
