Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Well from your spec it seems that they'll look pretty identical. Maybe they'll sit next to each other on the ship. Awwww. :p I ordered mine through Twickenham. I must say that they've been excellent and phoned me every step of the way! Very pleased with the service and I really hope I'm over the moo...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)

Just had a call from the dealer saying that the car was built today and is currently being inspected! Stage 8 or something if anyone knows what that means? :) Can't wait!! :) Snap Whicher! Mine was completed on Tuesday too. Do you know whether yours made the ship that left this week or not? I've ha...

Re: Finally ordered my new car!

If you're sad then I definitely am too!!! Got the Pedals and exhaust tips from the dealer. They're genuine VW parts and they'll fit them for me when the car arrives. :) There are quite a few posts on the forum which show how to fit them if you wanted to do it yourself. Dealer told me that on new 201...

Re: What colour is most popular among scirocco central

I didn't go with CW or RB for the exact reason they're so common... though it looks as though Night Blue may be coming popular too! I was tempted by the dark grey - not sure if it is Pewter and also the Black Oak Brown... but couldn't bring myself to order a car that had brown in the colour!!! I mu...

Re: What colour is most popular among scirocco central

Candy White for life :) Hard to keep clean and having had grey and silver cars before, I thought CW is pretty stunning especially when cleaned in the summer. The contrast it has with the grill and black alloys is pretty impressive and stands out more. With darker colours its hard to see the grill a...

Re: Finally ordered my new car!

Dealer sent me an email with photos of a couple of bits to go on the car when it arrives... They're definitely teasing me... :clap:

Interestingly it looks like the exhaust tips screw and clamp on rather than being welded. Anyone else have the chrome tips on a 160TSI?

Dealer just phoned to confirm that the car has now been built and is on the inspection stage. Stage 8 I think she said? One step closer!!! :D

Re: Yippie it's nearly here **now with pics of the outgoing

I don't think I've ever seen such a prestigne looking 'old' car! The Golf looks like it just left the factory! Any the new car looks fabulous too. Where are you? I'd pay for you to keep my Scirocco clean when it arrives! hehe. ;)

That's certainly what's happened with mine... DSG and Multifunction Steering wheel gave me highline. The Bluetooth pack does the same I believe. :)

Re: Sat Nav system

These guys look quite good but I've no experience of using them myself. Looks like they'll come to you was well if you're in the right place. :)

Re: Finally ordered my new car!

Dealer phoned to confirm my car will be built next week! Woohoo! :) need to start thinking about having enough money in the account to pay for it when it arrives!! Lol.

Re: Renewal Insurance RANT!!!!

I added my parents as named drivers on my policy with my current car and it knocked about £100 off the price! Worth a try perhaps?

Re: Renewal Insurance RANT!!!!

I've not looked at insurance for the Scirocco yet. Im 30 with 12 years NCB, no convictions/accidents etc. Wondering where the best place to look would be?

Re: De'badging your Roc.

Hi Maisbitt, It was purely because I wasn't keen on having the red TSI on there to be honest. Hadn't really thought about the fact that it would look like a GT... certainly not trying to make people think it is! I just really loved the 1.4 engine and couldn't really tell that much of a difference wi...
