Dolly the Rising Blue R

Post by mazzie_baby »

As some of you may know, my GT got stolen at the beginning of May this year.... sad times.... After much faffery with the insurance people, I managed to get a pay-out, gather enough spends together and buy myself an R!

So in a completely ballsy spending spree, I paid for her and hadn't even seen her! She was delivered from Newcastle a couple of weeks ago; I was totally in love when I heard her coming round the corner.

Here she is arriving on delivery day....

Blue roof peeking over the roof of my loan (from my bro) Golf GTI.

That shiny nose tho....

...the guy is the driver from VW up in Newcastle. I haven't grown stubble and turned into a boy :)

So... it's taken me a while but I'm back with a few more updates; first up were the paddle extensions.

Whilst I wasn't really having much difficulty with the standard paddle knobs, they're clearly not big enough to be called "paddles"!

I looked at a few options and settled on the brushed black finish...


Image

Image

I'm pretty happy with them and they make SUCH a difference to paddle shifting! I use this option more than the stick shift now - it was the other way round before I fitted these [emoji5]️

Next up were the black badges; I was a little unsure of these but they look great now they're on... plus she now matches all her other Scirocco friends!

Since she's a girl, I had to make her smell good... ;)

Tried some attempt at a coconut smell by California Scents but it smelled pretty gross. So I binned it and bought these bad boys! (Extra points for being pink)

Image

Image

There's also a big one in the back, for extra smelly punch. They smell like bubblegum and I bloody love them!!

...so much so that I'm now very tempted by pink footwell lights!!
