Deep Black CR140 Delivered
Deep Black CR140 Delivered
Delivered bang on 8:30am this morning, my new Deep Black Rocco...it's been a painful wait since June 22nd!
First impressions, I love it! My previous daily driver was an Audi A3 which I cherished for 3 years, and then had a stinking (literally!) VW Jetta from AVIS for a few weeks, pending the arrival of this. It's lovely inside, I thought I'd miss the dark roof lining, but I don't really, it already feels snug enough.
The only slight gripes I have so far are the usual, ESP in the wrong place, mirror adjustment button position has a feel of bodgery about it, much easier in the Audi. Going to need to purchase some sill plates and new mats, the free ones I got are rubbish! Also the standard speakers are lame, that'll all be coming out soon. Watch this space!
I'll get some more arty pics later, but for now..

Re: Deep Black CR140 Delivered
Looks stunning... , now all you need is a couple of exhaust trims to finish it off.

Re: Deep Black CR140 Delivered
I'll get a pic for you later, it's just the standard colour of any other VAG.
How much are the exhaust trims? Also be looking at a Bluefin soon, you can tell the 140CR has much more to give but is restricted by the ECU.

Re: Deep Black CR140 Delivered
Looks great, it will be fun keeping that shine in this weather. The mats I got are top quality, embossed with the word Scirocco, guess i was lucky.
I would be interested to hear how you get on with changing the speakers, and with the Bluefin. I am thinking about both of these.
I have to say though, the torque of the diesel still makes it fun to drive even with only 140hp.

Re: Deep Black CR140 Delivered
I think in reality it's closer to 150hp than 140, but yeah it's still a lovely smooth drive.
