Scirocco Central

Nice without the badges
I don't like the rims in that color maybe in white or an other flashy color whout be better i think

Ye I'm not sure on the colour :-/ but each to their own and fair play for being different. I think if they were polished they would look amazing though

Yes, Sparki, I'm considering to take off the paint again and re-do it.

The plan was to polish the front and keep the windows black on these, but I fcuk'ed up the polishing....so i put a rush job on with the rattle can


The gold bolts have arrived

I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question but i am a total newbie I am thinking of buying the same wheels as these but in 19" genuine bbs rs gt1. can you use the standard wheel studs. they are 5x112 fitment so i guess they go straight on but would you need spacers or anything, they are staggered 8.5 and 9.5 j on the rears. thank you in advance for replies beno

You need longer bolts for the RS-GT's, at least thats what I needed for the 20's

Why are you going to use a staggered fitment, when there is much more space in the front than in the rear?

The rears in 9,5x19 is ET 32, I suggest you roll or make the rear arches wider, as they will poke....I would say these are not a good fitment for the Scirocco
Here's a pic of my rears, with ET 36, yours will poke 4 mm more than this, if you are lowered 65 mm, even more if you are at the standard ride height

I have now bought some Crown Jewel centers to build some 20 inch rims around. I have also bought the suitable reverse hardware.

They will look something like this when finished, These are 11.5x20, so mine will have 2-3" less dish

Looking forward to seeing them, you going with a certain coloured centre and polished lip?

They are gorgeous!!!

Not sure about center yet, United grey, silver or polished. Will certainly have radinox stainless steel dishes

i have pm'd you poloclassic, if you could help with this i would appreciate it, thank you

what was your first h&r coilovers?

The first ones where for a Golf 5, the second for Scirocco.

You cant tell the difference from the outside, and you cant feel much difference when driving, but the I need the Scirocco ones to stay road legal here in Norway

Picked up some alloy front track control arms yesterday. Will fit them this weekend

Lovely car

Thanks Roo
Spent boxing day under the car. Took me more than 7 hours to do it. Sheared one of the bolts on the lhs


Now sporting alloy control arms
