Absolutely stunning mate! So when is the 4wd conversion happening so you can really get that power down?

When the 2.5L TTRS/RS3 motor goes in

Yes it is! Its quite a good fit but lowers the clearance at the front by another 20mm. Need to be extra careful entering driveways and negotiating speed humps

If you ripped the splitter off on a speedbump, do you reckon it would damage the underneath of the front bumper? because im quite low already but want this splitter so if i did go for it, chances are at somepoint it will get taken out haha!

This is my favourite roc ever, good work man...what was that about the TTRS motor

Sweet! Do you have any more pics on just the splitter?
Think im going to order one! How much did you pay for it and from where?

Found it @ Kerscher's for 289€+49€ for the shipment to me.

I bought mine through a distributor in Australia for around $450 Australian so that price from Kerscher sounds about right in Euro.

The splitter is held on by about 12 bolts so its not going to come off in a hurry. The CF will just shatter I think and the front grills left or right will pop off. These are just clipped in.

A few updates this week, firstly the VW Motorsport LSD I ordered 4 months ago finally arrived and was fitted earlier in the week. Whilst the gearbox was out I took the liberty to upgrade the clutch packs (SSP400HP) as well.

I also upgraded my coil overs from the KW DCC to the Clubsports. Naturally pulling the DSG out stressed me out no end but all that disappeared when I took the car out for an initial drive. Why our cars didn't come standard with LSD is beyond me, the grip is phenomenal and steering is now sharper and more precise. The ride is a lot firmer but the car is transformed.

I will write a full review once I get the chance to bed the clutches in for the next 500 miles...but its really hard not to floor it at every corner.

Whilst the car was up on the hoist I got my steering wheel hand stitched in suede

Probably the best looking/modified Scirocco I have ever seen, considering I saw a matt grey scirocco the other week that looked like it was not being looked after, looking at yours I am very envious, fantastic car, very jealous! Still very early days for me in the modifying stages. Well done mate.

Thanks for the compliments GG it has been a great journey and been happy to share my experiences on this forum. I just need to enjoy the car now for what it is. Good luck playing with yours.

ha ha I like the extra grip the suede gives. In hindsight though I should have gone for a grey suede and white stitching, luckily I have a spare steering wheel..
