Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
Hello Kevin,
Stepped on this photo of you rear seats an wondered why you didn't go for the "Alcantara" on them and also on the inner side panels.
I have the same front seats on mine and did a bit different on the looks and feel, orange stitching was not a good option, will be the next mod, black stitching.
I find your project awesome, mine is light years away, keep up the excelent job.

Unfortunately in Australia we were only given one trim level as seen below. I had to source both my front Recaros and rear separately from Europe and thus the disparity in trim. It doesn't look to bad as the grey leather matches back to the grey plastics.

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
Sure not, it doesn't really look bad.
However, my car was also in fabric, not leather and I was able to get the exact color of leather like the front seats and the exact color and texture of "alcantara".
The trimming was made by a long decade oldschool upholstery manufacturer I know that is simply an artist.
pm me if you need something, OEM or not, that's not available in your country or hard to find, after all I live in Portugal near the factory where the car is produced...
Keep up, it's a beauty as it is.

Prime lens? Nice shot, guess the weather isn't up to the job, but it does kind of matching the colour theme

Not thinking about getting a engine cover? Like a modded Auti TTS?

The engine cover retains a lot of heat and I prefer the open engine bay anyway. Ugly to some and pretty to otherseMiL-VR6 wrote:Not thinking about getting a engine cover? Like a modded Auti TTS?

Dear Rev555
Firstable, your car is awesome, it is the best Scirocco R what I´ve ever seen so congrat for your results.
I have a Scirocco R too and I´m looking for the same diffuser what you have. I found the official page of Vary Garage (Japan) and I wrote them an e-mail, but I didn´t get any answer. Where did you order the diffuser? Is that available on any other internet sites?
Thank you in advance for your answer

Re: Scirocco R Invasion Down Under
Hey there thanks for the compliment. Yes a few people have advised me that its extremely hard to get an answer from Vary. I think its a language thing. I sourced mine from a local guy in Australia who travels to Japan regularly to buy wheels and other goodies and he picked it for me directly. Unfortunately I do not know who else sells them as they extremely rare. Don't give up looking though someone must sell them. Good luck in your search and if I come across something I will let you know.DSciroccoR wrote:
