Scirocco Central

ok after a quick wash its looking much better (not waxed it tho)

i think i need to buy some tailpipe cleaning material......

That is stunning!

and finally the interior modding is complete!

The correct part for the 4 button compartment arrived today so went to pick it up. Some flaffing about trying to get the 12V socket out of the old tray (my god that was a bugger to get out) and then it was all fitted to the new covered storage compartment. I've updated the original parts listing i put up on Page 2 for those who want to do a similar mod.



That should be it for mods (for now lol)

yes you do they were an absolute disgrace yesterday

was good to meet up and have a good look around and underneath the R yesterday, definately the right colour choice and had a real presence on the route out of the pod when Dom was behind you, you can spot them chrome vw badges from about 300 yeards

good to finally meet up wiv ya again!

I see Halfords sell autosol so will get some from there and get those 2 pipes sorted for inters.

was a cracking day yesterday very relaxed, car did look the absolute business

right more pics!

following wigit's advice after my first public outing with a "dirty" pair of exhaust pipes, bought some Autosol and did some work on them! WOW!!! Amazing stuff lol.






Wigit should be proud of that!!! Cos i never bothered with the exhaust on the GTI in 4 years of ownership.

and some random pics of the interior as i've not posted much of the cloth trim. I personally think its nicer than the leather option, the light grey alcantara giving the inside some contrast.





and the dials with blue needles.



finally whilst i had the camera i thought i might as well snap this wee baby that was parked a few yards away.

I hope you've waxed your tips so they are easier to clean next time

Does that actually work? I would have thought the temperature would be enough to make a layer wax into an adhesive surface??

Hi I've bought a foot rest cover like yours but just want clarification on how to remove the plastic foot rest first before I drill the holes.

I know there are two screw covers I need to remove one with a screw driver, but it's the second which I'm not sure about. I have seen on another post that it's an allen key job...is this correct? If so what size allen key does it need?

Love the car, i want to do the centre cup holder and the rear, how hard is the middle to do ?

I missed your clean tip handy work

bit of patience in getting the things off not that hard really!

Best way is to remove the armrest to give u more access to the back of the cup holder. But you still have to loosen the whole centre console from in front of the gear stick (the 2 triangular handles) so u can lift it up enough to slide the old one out and new one in.

Check out Arlut's thread in Interior Decor. I printed it all out and me and a mate got it all done in 2 hours. We took it easy as he didn't want to do any damage to my car! He said 1 hour easy now that he knows how to get the various bits off.

Rear cup holder is just 2 screws. Unscrew, Pull out, ram new one in, re screw...job done.
