Nooooo! :doh:

With photos like that i'm starting to wish i'd gone back to black instead of Rising Blue for the new one I should be getting at the end of the month. :?

Am I having a Jeff moment? :faint:

I think many of ut have those moments now and then. The "problem" is that the rocco looks very good in all colours!

Today I washed my winter wheels so they are clean before storing them until winther arrives again.

Rinsed with water after a round of Bilberry and cheapo degreaser. Still some grit left as you can see.

And here after I used Grime Reaper degreaser + misc brushes. Turned of quite good.

Now I only have to wax them with Chemical Guys Wheel Guard.

Loving the LED tails! I suppose they are no OEMs? Looks subtle but different.

Thanks!
Correct, they are not OEM (but should have been). I was going for the OEM-look, with the only difference beeing LEDs, and this is the closed you'll get today I believe.

Yep, these are the red/smoke. A little bit darker than the R-Line/R lamps.

Yesterday I got a new exhaust fitted. It's a 2.0L exhaust from a pal's Scirocco that's about 2-3 weeks old.

We thought that the 1.4L and 2.0L exhausts was the same, with the only difference beeing the chrome tail pipes. That was not the case, the 2.0L exhaust has another silencer and larger tubes as well.

The result: deeper and louder roar :)

Here is a couple of shots of my new exhaust.

So you have only welded new tips or whole back silencer ?

Cheers

No, no welding.
I have changed the exhaust that goes from the middle of the car, including silencer and rear silencer.

LED tail lights are looking great!! Your whole car is looking wicked. Where did you get your LED tail lights from? Also, for the front how many LED bulbs will I need to change the lights you did? Sorry if I'm sounding dumb :shrug:

Thanks for the comments, guys!
I bought the LED tail lights from http://www.topauto.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. These are the red/smoke version.

@ lupas: In the front I have changed the W5W side lights, I used these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/f102c-1-6w ... -12v-37591" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I have also changed the P21W bulbs for the DRLs to LED.

Tinted the front side windows today, which made a huge difference I think! Same tint as original.
