Been ok so far. It's a quality tyre so not going to be bad are they.

I bought the Micheli Pilot Super sport as you suggested! It's early to say how they are, I have to run in but I can say that the steering is more direct and so the car is now almost oversteering :D But I think that this behaviour depends by the fact that the wheels are new. However, thanks a lot for your advise!

Great car dude :D

So,as you say,a Golf VI R APR TBE fits perfectly the Rocco R??I prefer APR sound but Milltek is great too.Another option could be to fit Milltek/APR cat-back with downpipe.

No, the Golf VI GTI APR RSC exchaust fits the Scirocco. NOT the R. The GTI has pipes at each side of the car like the R in exactly the same position. The R has central pipes and this will obviously not fit, plus APR do not make an R exhaust.

APR is nothing like the Milltek. Pointless mixing the two systems if you even can. Just do the right thing and get the full APR exhaust and live happily ever after!

Ok,right,my mistake,I was thinking on the GTI not R :)

It is just plug&play,is it?I have asked about it in a local APR dealer.

The mixing would be a no mark downpipe for the 2.0 TFSI engine with the APR catback exhaust,but I have asked for the full APR system.

yeh no real mods needed to make it fit. i think.

yes you could get just the catback, but then what's the point? either get the full system or dont bother.

the original has to be removed first. its sitting in the garage. i got the new one painted black, but could always paint it body colour and then wrap bits if you prefer.

I got it from JKM in portsmouth. was £1500 fitted. you'd probably have to import it yourself, or have a trip to Portsmouth :)

Mate,

Do you have any more pics of the BBS CH's as I want some (I think anyway!), can you post more pics of them in a lighter shot? From the side too.

I might go gun metal or black, but I want them matte - not sure what colours are available anyway...

I might be selling mine if you're interested?

They're a matte black as they come from the factory. It's dark now, let me try to take a pic tomorrow after work.

Might be best to get some at the weekend, only just got in from work again (damn trains) and its dark. Here's one i took previously, mainly for the lovely mud but the wheel is visible.

In preparation for selling, i cleaned up the old girl, and took some pics as its now back to standard. Hope you like! :) the colours are saturated slightly to bring them out, so in real life, the red isnt as pinky, just damn good! haha
