Scirocco Central

Afternoon all,

It's been a while since I've updated this thread with the progress/modifications made on the car. Anyway here are a couple of photos of how the motor was sitting a couple of weeks ago (bar the interior), granted they were taken last year:

I’ll get a few more photos once I’ve cleaned it.

Looks cracking mate! Love all the mods but I really love the recaros.

Cheers mate!

Love it mate! Really like rising blue. More so when its an r.

Saw these over on MK5GTI forum.

Looks great pal

Right,

I've finally got round to cleaning it (shamelessly after nearly two months) and here are a few more photos:





I've finally decided on a colour for the wheels and hopefully they'll come out looking like this:



That's all for now folks.

Hi your car looks awesome, what size are your VM R's? Will really look good in black. Cheers

Mate cars looking insane... where abouts did you buy the vmr's from if you don't mind? cheers

Hi snapey

Did you go straight to coilivers or did you lower on springs first. I have a set ready to fit but worried bout bumps and humps as MetalJay had a piece of his bumper smashed out due to lowering it.

Any advice mate

Thanks

Straight to coilovers.

To be honest, I purposely had the front dropped very little and the back pulled down much more to help with the angle of attack. I thought I'd struggle with the front, but so far I've been alright. If I do struggle, I'll just wind the coils out a thread or two.

Just take your time and if you think your going to struggle, just turn into the transition.

I know no one will ever see it but it certainly sorts out the engine bay. Excuse the shocking iPhone photo.

I need your help .. i have a black coolant cap (3C0121321) but I can't find anywhere a black screen wash cap. Could you please send me that part´s number, which is hidden under the cap? I would be most grateful.

Buy it from AKStuning mate
It's on his site too

Well, the wheels have been refinished in gloss gunmetal with black wheel bolts:





Unfortunately my phone doesn't really do them any justice.

Luke

I like that mate. Nice

Still looks blinding! Any other mods on the horison?

Its been a while since I last updated this thread and since then, the cars undergone quite a transformation. Here's a summary of how the car currently sits:


I'll no doubt get a few decent photos over the next couple of weeks.

Luke

They say you can't polish a turd, but your blue R looks good mate haha

also, WHOS IS THAT AMAZING WHITE R IN THE PHOTO?

Hey buddy,

Just ordered my Loba HPFP going up to stage 2+ accompanying with a wavetec diff to get my horses down!
Did you find much difference between 2 & 2+ and does the Loba pump have the same ticking noise of the OEM?

Many thanks Max

Snapey your car is ace. Not a fan of the audi engine cover though
