Scirocco Central

So, I finally got my Scirocco, had it for 4 days now, and i love it! The power of the TDI, the higher notes of the exhaust when putting your foot down, the color, the ride, love it.
Thought I'd share some shots of it, starting with the first ones from when the car arrived to my city in Sweden:








... and, some from the delivery from the dealer:

Superb, love the colour. I too have the same car only mine is the 140 Bluemotion, delivery is late but I should get it latest I am told now although I don't trust the date is 1st week in June, supposed to be delivered on 20th of April. So I called Volkswagon customer service and managed to get reverse sensors for free due to my wait, not ideal but softens the blow a little.

Enjoy your new ROC Johisson and keep the pictures coming, your pictures and stories are what keeps me going in my quest to get my ROC. Looks awesome in the Viper :0)

Hope you'll get a hold of your car soon then, I know about waiting, I ordered mine in early winter, but didn't want to take it out on its first run during a hellish winter, so I had to wait until spring.. although the other day, some snow fell and I got out for some shots:








... and the next day, it was all gone and I could enjoy it on dry asphalt a Friday night.

Gratulerer med fin bil!

Congrats with the ride, dude

Very nice even in the snow, bet you were gutted when the snow fell :0(

Another update that softens the blow. My dealers initial mistake in placing my order 6 weeks late has now put me in the new spec, I.e. full leather interior and sat nav plus my negotiation skills getting the reverse sensors for free also, not too bad a result, I am stoked with these extras I would have loved but couldn't afford, happy days, although I wait 5-6 weeks all in all a result..!!

Yeah, although the snow only lasted for one night, so I got a few nice shots at least, spring came early this year in Sweden so I'm happy about that. =)

Damn, it seems as if this delay with your car comes with some good things in the end.

Arriving to work today, I took a few shots in the garage:

A few updates:

Looks good. Whar kind/brand of bulbs have you used?

Looks very Nice where did you get the new grill from and how much did it cost? It looks really Nice

wooow...looks like xenons :-) where did you buy them ?

Nice one Johlsson, your car looks the business, what a difference the bulbs have made and I love that spoiler, congratulations on the mods they certainly have made a difference in making the car look better, got mine last week so not been on here as often, been out on the road lol I absolutely love the car, check my posts and you will see my pictures.

Good work Johlsson, keep the pictures coming.

Stevie.

It looks really great

Thanks people!

The bulbs I bought from a member of another Scirocco forum which I stumbled upon when searching for lights for the Scirocco, I'm not sure about the brand of them, but they sure made a difference, they'll be enough till I get the time and money to do a Xenon conversion with original Xenon lights. Here is the url to the thread:

The grill I bought through ebay, there's alot of goodies around the German part of ebay.

Other mods will be coming, I've ordered a set of the KW DCC coilovers, but they were sold out at KW so I had to wait, and knowing it could take a while, I bought a set of H&R' for the time being.

I'm also looking for new wheels, but it's hard, coming from MK2 & MK1 Golfs, I always "knew" what too look for, 14-15" split wheels like Schmidt's or BBS', but with the Scirocco I'm in a unknown territory regarding 18-19", I want to go splits but it's hard to find the right ones.

I have tried searching for the grill on eBay.de but i cant find anything that looks like that. What searchwords have you used to find it my german is a bit rusty

Thanks for the link. Did you use this bulbs ? http://www.xenonwhite.de/eng/parking-li ... -white.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ..or any other ? And is it just replacement of bulbs or you have to do more modifications ? Thx )

I used another version of LED's for the position lights, I bought them in a local store, the headlights and fog-lights are bought from Flux. And they are straight replacement, no work needed other than exchanging them.

Doesn't look like there's anyone for sale right now, I'd advise you to keep an eye out on ebay, or you could check this one out: http://www.gepfeffert.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Or you could check with speed-tech: http://www.speed-tech.de/store/online-s ... gory_id=37" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They sell it too.

OK, thx. I have ordered dipped, high, side LEDs and rear reg. mark lights from Flux :-) . Very looking forward.

I think you will be satisfied with them once you get them.

In other news, snapped a few shots down in Sundsvalls old harbour yesterday:

Did you use just springs or full coilovers ?
