Scirocco Central

Lookin good mate.. You from the northeast by any chance ??

Yeah mate, sunderland. You live in the north east? Get a build thread started, I seen your running ultra lows. Good choice, would of got the same if they were rated for mine, with it being diesel and dsg it's too heavy for them.

new grill to sort out, any recommendations of places to take it to to get sorted in the north east?

Finally got some tyres and adaptors sorted for the wheels. Still waiting of wheel bolts though. Decidied to go with some cheap nankang ns2 235/35/19, the wheel specs are 5x130 pcd 19x9.5 et46 with 15mm H&R adaptors. So final et31 all round.

Had a test fit and this is the result...















Not the greatest set of pictures but you get the idea. Theres about a fingers space between tyre and arch so it's quite close, but I want to get the front down a little more. Tried full lock on the front and there is less than a fingers space between tyre and arch lining on both sides. I think they would look better in silver or white but I'll run them black for now and see if they grow on me. Thoughts and opinions?

Look great!!!!

Looks good Gaz.. They look good black I wouldn't change the colour of them..
Black on white just works so well...

Cheers bud, you just loose the detail in the wheel when they are black that's all. They might grow on me once there on next month.

very nice, cant wait to see what you do with the grill , btw what car is that grill from? Do not like the standard grill at all tbh so would like to do this mod myself....

It's a badgeless t5 transporter grill. There's a link somewhere in the bodywork or exterior mods section to fk automotive, think its about 60 quid. It's in the body shop at the moment getting tacked together. Going on Friday for a test fit before it is finished so ill get some photos hopefully

like the porkas but know what you mean on the colour, satin anthracite would get my vote

Love the car looks incredible. How much did the respray of front lower grill & small lip on the back bumper set you back? Want to get this done myself.

Thanks lads, think I paid about 100 for both but make sure you take it to Someone who knows what they are doing, they made a mess of the front of mine but I've taken the grill to an enthusiast who has done features for magazines to do my grill mod so should get a top notch job. Hopefully will get all the plastics done gloss black as well to finish it off.

yeah it turned heads alright, only had them on 6 weeks and it seemed like everyone knew the car, dont know if thats a good or bad thing though haha

Well the wheels are finally on and I really like them, -2.5 degrees camber on the rear and no rubbing at all. Wouldn't put anyone in the back though haha








Fingers space gap front and back...

Nice to get some feed back good or bad! Ha more pics when the new grill is on

Your car is simply gorgeous, I love every bit of it. The wheels and fitment are just spot on. Well done!

Lovely car pal! I take it you've told the insurance about the lowering etc? if so did it bump it up much?

Thanks mate, told them about coilovers wheels and general exterior part painted and it cost me an extra 20 quid a year that's with elephant. I'm 24 if that helps with working out cost. I think they are not really bothered about any mods that don't increase performance.
