Re: Experience 122HP Scirocco

I love my 122. Fairly quick. Nice and refined. Economic. I would love a 210 but too expensive and too thirsty. It's still a quality car regardless of engine. I'd rather have a more expensive car made cheaper than a cheaper car made more expensive . If you see what I mean. I know that some people sc...

Re: Colour changes

Is it just me, or does this Black Oak seems to be quite different from Dark Maroon? A bit chocolaty... It IS quite different! The whole emotion with the colour is different, because i think it lacks a lot more black than the Dark Maroon did, which makes the colour be less related to it's earlier &q...

Re: Colour changes

Apologies for keeping you guys waited, I just had to celebrate it with my dutch Scirocco-buddies first you know :p The BOB Scirocco is mine ;). I Posted these pictures in the dutch Scirocco forum. In the flesh the colour didn't look too much "chocolaty" at all, my personal opinion is that ...

Re: Colour changes

I found a photo of the 2011 EOS. I think this colour could be a real life example of the BOB color: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/front_website/gallery.php?o=0&id=400150" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/front_website/gallery.php?o=0&id=4001...

Re: COLOURS

The Sumatra colour is great, since you have a "black" teint by night and a dark grey or brownish/black teint by day, depending on the light fall on the paint. I ordered the Black Oak Brown colour, trusting my 'sences', but I have to agree it takes guts to choose a colour without seeing it ...

Re: Colour changes

Hi thehippo, Well, your way of thinking about the BOB colour is quite 'normal' heheh... My alternative choice for the BOB would be Rising Blue, but as you said, so far all Scirocco colours look great on the Roc so I am willing to take the risk. Worst case the BOB colour would lack the black teint an...

Re: Colour changes

Hey B0rk, Thanx buddy!! Your post is very helpful! The pdf got an example on one of the last pages about the Black Oak Brown color steel. I think it's a great replacement for the dark maroon color, which i think was perfect (it was my first choice for the Roc u know ;) ). But.. The BOB color is quit...

Re: A Day In The Life Of A Sumatra

I ordered my 122HP Sumatra (called Dark maroon in the Netherlands) and expecting it to arrive in january. Its the BlueMotion version, because fairly i couldn't care less about the speed (we call it stopinglight racing in here...doesnt make sense with all these lights and camera's everywhere), the in...
