Hey Scott. Your Rocco is looking awesome - very nice work indeed!

Just a couple of quick questions, if you don't mind. What were VW and your insurance like about you remapping the ECU - did they mind? What about the warranty? Also, what is defined as a 'Stage 1' remap?

First thing I'm looking to do is sort the lights out in and out the car. I wouldn't mind making the roof Black at some point - thought I'm not sure how I'd go about it.

I should take delivery of mine at the end of May (they start building it this week), so I am super excited and reading some posts on this forum really isn't helping my impatience... SO EXCITED!

I got the Remap done by VW so it's all good.
Stage 1 just means the first stage :S like a remap with nothing else.

To do all the lights, just search on here for a thread that tells you all the types you need then buy them from UltraLEDs.co.uk
I just got my roof painted. Had vinyl on my last car. But I think paint looks better.

Ahh okay. I'll speak to my dealer about remapping then! But it also depends on insurance as I'm cutting it close with the engine I've got at the moment (I can't get insured on anything bigger) :no:

Thanks for the tips!

Fitted 5mm spacers all round because they were lying there, may aswell use them lol.
Also gives a better idea of how the black mirrors look.
Here's a pic from the Urban Meet Last night...

Decided to spend the day chopping a hollow section off my struts and modifying the collers to get 30mm lower

I also removed the Rear adjusters.

This is it just off the jacks. It's settled even lower now since driving home :D
