Scirocco Central

Well... She's finally arrived at the dealers last Thursday! Managed to pop over there this evening just before it got too dark to take a few photos! :) http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/511/roc06.jpg http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/2674/roc05.jpg http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8813/roc04.jpg h...

I've just driven from High Wycombe to Grantham near Lincoln. 2 and a half hours on the road and not one Roc to be seen!!

Well mine was built on the 28th March and it's still sitting in Portugal at the moment... so maybe it will take that long niggy.

Is that the new standard DSG gear stick Roc's are coming with now?

Those lights look fab Kenti! Think I'll be getting some of those when my car arrives. :) A quick and perhaps silly question for you... In the photos the lights next to the Xenon's don't seem to be on at all. What are they for, as I'm presuming that dipped and main beam Xenon is the same light? I'm ...

Looks great! Like the way the dealer had it covered up so you could have it 'revealed' to you! I wonder if all dealers do that?? Congrats.

I actually quite like the look of that! Although you know it will never look the same once it goes into production. Still prefer the Roc though.

Surely if the order's been accepted the you should have a build week? Ask them for the Commission Number so you can phone VW customer services direct and see what the story is from them.

You can see the markers really clearly on this photo from VW's Scirocco Marketing.

Wow... That's going back a bit!

1.4 DSG, rising blue, 18 interlagos, rear parking sensors. Ordered October, and order went off in November 2010 via leasing company through work. Original estimated delivery April 2011. In Jan, told it was now June 2011. Lease company response - "The car was ordered last November and isn’t due...

That's interesting to know. I bought mine from Twickenham as a friend of mine works there and was going to use Citigate in High Wycombe for my servicing etc. Maybe I should rethink that plan...

Used to see a white one parked near me from time to time with a picture of a stormtrooper on it! We should start a High Wycombe Roc club! Hehe

I'm just off Hammersley Lane.

Haha... I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

Over the weekend I drove from High Wycombe to Hornchurch. Spent a day driving around Essex. Drove from Hornchurch back to High Wycombe. Then drove from High Wycombe to Warwick and back... probably did a few hundred miles. Guess how many Roc's I saw? (Bearing in mind I was looking out to see them) ON...

Bullsh*t about the padals needing coding. Fitted mine in about 5 minutes flat and no fault codes or warning lights at all. Did buy the proper accelerator removal tool though, which helped immensely. Interesting to know that even though my dealer's been superb they're still partial to the odd bit of...

I don't really care about people's heads turning to look at it. I bought it because I personally think it's a stunning car and drives beautifully and that's all that matters to me really. I'm personally happy with my decision so not that bothered about other peoples reaction to the car if that makes...

I've not heard of these... are they polishes? Thanks.

If anyone's been around the High Wycombe area you'll know that there is no shortage of roads that go up and down steep hills! I'm going to be taking delivery of my Scirocco in a few weeks and have been reading the threads on running the car in, of which there seems to be several opinions about what ...
