Scirocco Central

Given lack of use and budget I'd be on the lookout for as good a carerra 4s I could find In reality you are knocking on the door for a used R8 Wise words indeed! You are absolutely right and I have already been looking at several on PistonHeads. My gut feeling also tells me that a used R8 could be ...

Yup...I'm also in the same boat as well! What do you go for after an R? So far I've entertained a step sideways to a Golf R, but I'm told 8 months for a new one (£41K) in the exact spec I'd want. I've recently test driven the TT-RS, which was fantastic, but 'way' too expensive to buy new, to an exac...

Hi Folks, I'm looking to part with my high-spec Scirocco R and go for something even tastier (preferably a TT-RS or 'possibly' a GT-R). It has just over 3K on the clock and the car is telling me it's due it's 1st service in 19 days. Only thing close to being called a defect, would be a few stone-chi...

Hi Folks, WOO HOO!!! That's me finally back in the UK again :-) And I'm now looking forward to removing 'all' my protective car covers and driving the 'Silver Dream' machine again. :hyper: I'm also pleasantly surprised to read that a lot of fellow Roccers consider the Silver Rocco as a good looking ...

Leather's a no-brainer for me I'm afraid! We have a collection of hairy pets at home, and trying to keep cloth seats 'hair-free' is too much like hard work for my liking. :eyepop: It somehow manages to magically weave itself into the fabric, rendering it virtually impossible to remove with even a po...

To be fair, the DSG box is a bit quirky. But, once used to it, there's certainly no going back for me. :nod: 100% agree with you. I very seldom use manual DSG mode on my R32, so it's no real biggy that I'll have to start using it more frequently on the Rocco. And the soundtrack definitely improves ...

no such problems with a manual box....... :D LOL :D Wise words indeed! I guess I'll just have to get used to town driving it in Manual mode, which just isn't necessary on my R32. :shrug: On a more positive note, when you give it some welly, you get a lovely 'pop' from the twin exhausts on the DSG u...

Morning Folks, Just thought I'd jot down a few comments on my experiences with my DSG Scirocco R so far, now that I've had a couple of decent runs out in it. Because I still have my 2007 DSG R32, I suppose it's only natural to make some comparison between the implementation of DSG on both cars. My f...

Pardon my ignorance, but how did the owner of that Scirocco get Red Leather? Is this something to do with the VW Individual service? A few years ago, I had a Silver, "yes Silver ;)", Audi TT with Denim Blue leather interior and matching trim, which looked really good. I think a nice Deep R...

Sorry to disagree but to my mind most silver cars look like an undercoat, black does not show up all the black detailing, white is non descript, the green is stunning and the blue also. Shame there is no metallic red, such as the Firespark VW did as a one off colour for a european car show. Still I...

George, could you post some more pics from various angles of your gorgeous reflex silver R cause I've seen too many pics of the white R's already...Tnx Hi kpudgar, Here's a few pictures I took this afternoon, after I'd given the Roc it's first wash. IMG_0074 - Copy.JPG IMG_0071 - Copy.JPG IMG_0066....

Nice one :yes: Made room for my delivery yesterday :D Won't be picking it up for 2 weeks as we just sailed out of Peterhead yesterday Afternoon, didn;t even get a channce to nip up and have a look! http://www.mk2golf.co.uk/scirocco/Delivery.jpg Hi Andy-GTI, Your Roc looks fantastic in Candy White. ...

You musta picked it up, no sign of it in the car park and i assume the blue raddo was the scrappage trade in? Hi Andy-GTI, Aye, I picked it up last night just after 6pm. :clap: And to see it sitting in the showroom, gleaming after it's Autoglym LifeShine pampering, with my new personal plate fitted...

T minus '0' Days :clap: That's me home again, hopefully until the middle of next month, and today's the 'BIG' day......maybe! That's assuming my insurance cover note was posted in time, and VW managed to register the car yesterday. My last 3 days at work were so incredibly hectic, I've only had 12hr...

T minus 2 Days

Autoglym Lifeshine being done, insurance being organised, private plate getting fitted...

O.M.G. I think I'm starting to get a little bit excited now!

Cheers & Beers!

Another damned fine effort there!
And I agree with you 110%, it's definitely a huge improvement

Cheers Again,

Might pop up and have a squint in the flesh next week when the vessel i'm on comes in to port. ;) Be my guest, the last I heard was that it was sat outside getting poo'd on by seagulls, or scurries as we like to call them. :fall: So the next email to the dealer will be to ask them why it's not park...

Very, very, very nice! Looks lovely in silver (and this is from someone who only ever buys black cars!!! Glad you like it, and hopefully the pics will tempt others to go down the Reflex Silver road :yes: I was very reluctant to go for yet another boring Silver car, but after I saw how gorgeous the ...

How fast does the R feel compared to your old Mk5 R32? I only ask because the old R32 had a 3.2-litre V6 block. Gary Hi Gary_Monkey, My R might be in the UK, but unfortunately I'm not :cry: I work overseas and don't get back home until the 12th May, so I'll pick it up on the 13th or 14th May :clap:...

The only mod I would do is...I would lower it...otherwise it's an excellent piece of machinery with awesome spec. This is how it would look lowered (35mm): Wow!!! Thanks for photo-shopping that picture! It definitely looks better with the suspension lowered. :clap: Unfortunately I live out in the s...
