My viper green scirocco
Hi all, I'm looking to rewrap the front grey vinyl (bonnet and front bumper) and just after some recommendations.
Does anyone know how much I should be looking at and any recommendations in the manchester area/north west?
I'm thinking of maybe carbon fibre to match the mirrors/spoiler but not sure if it's too much. [emoji848] any suggestions/comments are appreciated! Thanks!

Carbon fibre mirrors
Cup spoiler (not genuine but fits pretty well) vs original
Its on!
Shot from the back
One more...
Stopped by Derwent Damn on the way to Sheffield
Stopped again by Ladybower - miss this place used to live down the road in Bamford
Got bored, so wrapped everything I could see
Gave the car a quick clean after a run in the peaks
and the inside

Re: Viper green scirocco
BCS 200cell downpipe in to match the BCS catback
Original out
O2 sensor light on due to the sport cat -Simon at Ecotech in Buckley got it sorted (this can be done on its own - dont let people fool you to remapping unless you want to - it took two mins!) anyway I got talked into a remap which found out I had bluefin already. Long story short, ECU got locked/write protected by Bluefin, had to take the ECU out and Rhys did his thing...
an hour late, all sorted now running at 270bhp

MPG from 27 to this after remap on a daily commute

Seems pretty good these poorboys stuff (used their polish, ex-sealant and natty's paste)

Re: My viper green scirocco
I think this. Bet your chuffed with the new power increase!
I think the carbon spoiler suits your motor, but ive seen them fitted to other roccos(different colours)and its doesnt work.
Whats next on the list?

Re: My viper green scirocco
Thank you I am really pleased the spoiler turned out okay on the car - there was a bit of work to get it fitted but nothing major, not as bad as what some people experienced. TBH, for just over £100 I am glad I brought it all the way back from ChinaParadox1 wrote:I think this. Bet your chuffed with the new power increase!

Remap is good too, it doesn't feel massively faster from before (I think the bluefin remap was quite aggressive under acceleration anyway), but the boost seems to be steadier and I get more wheel spins when accelerate hard from stop (maybe I just need new tyres i don't know... lol) now thinking about it I should have bought an uprated intercooler beforehand and I could go to stage 2 with a bit more power. Oh well!
I am hoping to replace the grey wrap on the bonnet and front bumper, maybe to carbon fibre to match the rest, not sure yet tho. gotta save up for wedding next year... oh i mean yay!!

China. I bought it when I was working out there in April but I am sure it is the same as the ebay ones. It should be around £110 + shipping.mattyfitz wrote:where did you get the cup spoiler from?

Re: My viper green scirocco
So failed the MOT today due to the tyres [emoji30] not sure how I managed that, gonna check the tracking tomorrow once the new tyres are on I think. On the plus side, the exhaust is MOT friendly! [emoji16]

Re: My viper green scirocco
Forgot how green the car really is now I have finally taken the wrap off the front. Might not bother with the carbon fibre wrap I don't think.
On the other hand, I wrapped some more carbon fibre at the back [emoji28]
I have only used cheap wrap myself and last weekend we decided to give the Avery supreme wrap a try on my mate's Megane RS and wow! How easy was that! And the finish!!!
And gave the interior a quick clean...

How did you take the trim off the surrounding gear stick? It looks great!

Sorry for the late reply.
You can just pull the whole cover off (where the carbon fibre wrap is) by hand from the buttons side. Obviously be careful don't pull too far as there is cable connected to the lights and the gaiter which is clipped on to the chrome trim.

Loving the Viper green, first thing I would have done cosmetically would be to colour code the side trims, where did you get the cup spoiler from it looks awesome!

Re: My viper green scirocco
Today's job [emoji16]
What a ba****d to get off
Had to use the jack to push the insert in too it was so tight!
Put the bolt back in with some copper grease and torqued it to 100Nm +90 degree (someone mentioned it here before- I hope it's right [emoji28])
Job done

Re: My viper green scirocco
Not everyone's cup of tea but I quite like it...
The reason is that I got some condensation in the high taillight [emoji17] dried it out and within 2weeks it came back... really hating seeing the condensation so thought I might cover it up with wrap [emoji23] not the most tidy diy work but doesn't look too bad I guess [emoji41]
