My Black Rocco =D

Post by ajaymakhecha »

Hey all,
Been on here a while now, got my black on black 170 TDi Rocco on the 1st Feb, absolutely love it!

I'm not overly handy when it comes to modifications, but I love looking after a car and making it special!
Here it is as stock...

I had to put my name on it :D

What I want to do:
1. Get my hands on some VCDs to:
Switch my DRLs to the sidelights
Needle Sweep on start up
Big Speedo on the MFD
Alarm blip when locking (not sure about this one yet)
2. Switch Bulbs to white looking ones
3. Lower it (have to wait a year till I'm 25 though, stupid Direct Line :grumpy: ) thinking the VW-R springs?
4. Remap (not sure which to go for; Revo, AmD, APR or Celtic)

First logical thing to do was to give it a polish and wax pampering day...

Whilst I was going around it, I noticed the VW centre caps on the alloy wheels were a bit worn, so I ordered a new set off eBay and got them changed pretty swiftly!

Whilst on the the Facebook group "VW Scirocco MK3 Owners Club UK" I saw a guy who had put red styling tape on the front grill.
Really liked how it looked and thought it would really set off the front of the car, so I gave it ago! With an added bit on the back just because...
And as you all know, stripes on cars add at least an extra 5bhp ;) haha

I like the red on the bottom grill. But not a fan of the red on the black grill and on the rear boot.

I put red pin stripe tape on my grill yesterday. Rained last night and it came straight off. Pretty disappointed .

I just wanted my Rocco to be a different and think it adds a bit to the all black look.
But yeh, not everyone will like it.
ahh first night for mine... I'm hoping it stays on lol

Yeh looks great.

Well long as you like it that's all that matters. I prefer just the bottom grill personally.

Iime plain as well but devil right you should it the way you like it. If everyone thought the same it would be a boring forum with every car the same colour and with the same wheels & mods. :D

Changed my bulbs over.
My set up:
Sidelights: LEDs
Dipped: Xtecs
Full Beam: Osram Nightbreakers
Not quite the white look I was going for, but definitely not as yellow...

Just some cheap w5w LEDs off eBay.
I'd recommend buying off somewhere like amazon though and make sure they're actually error free, I get an error message on start up which disappears when I put it in gear, not enough to complain on eBay about... But it bugs me lol

And still weighing up doing a headlight retrofit to get Xenons

Like the look of your car mate - I've always loved the all black Rocco, got that little extra details to stand out as well!

Would like to know if you've changed much since your last post? :)
