Scirocco Central

Washed it yesterday for the first time in over a month and now it's snowing again and getting coverd in snow.... Not impressed!

Gave it a good wash to get rid of the salt... then have come home to find someone has hit it and scuffed the back corner of it. Can't tell how bad it is till I see it in the morning light. Gutted and pissed off.

What a nightmare mate,... hope its not to bad....me and my misses feel for you pal

Cheers. Thankfully the paint from the other car has all washed off ok. Only left a couple of small scratches underneath. Not too noticeable at a glance thankfully. Still bloody annoying though.

Ordered sill plates and tax disc holder. Considering getting black badges, anybody know a good supplier?

Sorry posted that in the wrong place Duh

Went to VW last night to pay the balance for my Scirocco R Get it friday!!!

Had my exhaust put back on last saturday and refitted my itg today. Much better!

Also replaced my wheel brace as this had happened to the original:-



And I replaced the rubber engine cover grommet VW had broken during the last service!

Cheap Chinese monkey metal, or you don't know your own strength !

My arguement to VW was that that shouldn't happen. They said the nuts were too tight (they were torqued to vw spec). Not impressed with vw supplying such a crap attempt at a wrench.

Fitted R-line leather interior into my car today along with the covered cup holder that I purchase a few weeks ago, well happy with the result I also found out that the interior was out of a brand new R-line with only 600 miles on the clock so I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. I did however realise a problem, my airbag warning light is now on which I will turn off when I figure out what heated seat wiring harness I need to buy, apart from that it looks stunning Will post some pictures when I get round to it.

First big clean yesterday (two months in to ownership!). Citrus spray to the lower areas, full wash with 2-buckets. Clayed the whole car, washed it again, touched up a couple of stone chips and buffed out a couple of small scuffs. Was planning a full wax application but ended up using the Megs rapid spray instead - still petty happy with the results though

Finally got round to fitting my door sills. Very pleased for the price and 15mins work.

Had eibach springs fitted and 4 wheel geo done today, handles better,looks better,very pleased with result

Coated my calipers blue!

Fitted the Skoda Yeti exhaust tips - took 5 mins with a couple of twists and turns and then a gentle tap to seat into place. Cracking finishing touch and excellent value from our Czech cousins!

Just standard Mintex ones - nothing fancy! £140ish all in. (Camskill)

Fitted a covered cup holder. Bit of a pain to fit - took about 3 hours fiddling with lots and lots of torx screws-but really pleased with the result.
