Scirocco Central

Been driving her for over a month now, loving every second of it !..
Time to upload some pics !.. Not the most sunny pics ever seen but it has been raining here in Belgium since...well...forever !!
Anyway..enjoy !!..

And some more !!!

Nice one, love te color

Got some plans with it?

Thx, m8, appreciate it !...
No big mod-plans, ordered the Yeti exhaust tips last week en i'm looking into lowering her a bit (with H&R, 40mm).
Nothing near as extreme as yours tough !.

First mod...
Allready installed it and it fits like a glove....Rocco's rear looks that much cleaner now...

Congrats with the car, mate Not too common color choise, looks good!

Where's the shot of the rear with the new exhaust tips?

Thanks for the compliments, mate, really appreciate it !.. I'm liking the color too (even tough it's very hard to capture the exact color on photo, she changes color in the sun ..)
Total fan of your black beauty, read your entire tread several times, it is defenitely one of the most beautiful rocs here..
Liking the tips, it has really upgraded the car's rear imo...will post a pic soon !...
Also looking in to lowering her with H&R (40mm), i think that will make a huge difference (judging by your before and after pics)....

Thank's mate

Lowering really makes a huge difference. All you need to transform the roc is a bit of lowering and maybe some 19" wheels
H&R has 35mm springs, not 40mm I believe? At least that was the option when I lowered mine. Eicbach has some 40mm springs.

Sent from my Galaxy tab 10.1

I hestitated a lot about 19" when i ordered the car (my dealer had a night blue Roc with 19" Lugano in the showroom, it looked very cool). Was worried about the car getting too hard AND the price for a set of tyres tough
You're right about the H&R springs, Eibach has 30mm springs on the site, can't seem to find 40mm.
Are you happy with your H&R's ? Used to have a set on my Ford Escort so i have a slight preference for this brand...
Are you having trouble with speedbumps (we have A LOT of those in Belgium, in different shapes and sizes ) or scraping ?

You can buy the Eibach springs also as VW branded ones, I believe they are the -30 mm ones. The advantage is that you get to keep full warranty with these, while installing other springs will void warranty for suspension related stuff. At least in Finland.

I have the OEM lowering springs installed on my car, not a perfect match with frequent speedbumps and front mudflaps. If I had no mudflaps, I wouldn't have any problems.

Informed about these @my dealer but he said that they were only available for the 2.0TSI, they would lower the car 20-25mm. For not-OEM springs, there would not be a problem with my warranty if i don't use coilovers and if the springs are TUV-certified....

There are actually three types of OEM spring sets available, one for 1.4 TSI (both 92 & 118 kW, including DSG), one for 2.0 TSI, and one for diesels. See e.g. AHW-Shop.

The warranty practices are different in different countries and if they will accept any TÜV certified springs with no warranty issues, I would go for H&R's. They just look slightly better IMO.

Thx for the input, Mikko...i also prefer the H&R's...have found a tuningstore that's willing to lower the Roc, will look into that soon .....
Nice ride you have btw, looking forward to the pics of your ride with the 19" ...

Got these in my mailbox today (stole the idea from Kenti...thx, m8 !! )
Altough they didn't cost much, they are still nice quality imo (they will probably get stolen anyway... )

Grease them or something before you fit them please we've had people put they on before then wonder why they can't get them off when the weld themselves on causing pain & anguish

Aluminium valve caps are evil, cheers for using my experience as an example Trix. Nightmares again lol

Thx for the heads-up, guys, didn't know...

Ordered the door sills from HKB5VARIANT a couple of weeks ago. Weather has been lousy lately but today i got to unwrap them and go out for a sneak peek. Have to say, LOVE THEM, especially on the dark blue (they stand out very well and combine nicely with the other chrome interior bits ) ! Look much nicer irl than on any pic i have seen.
Eagerly waiting for better weather so i can install them for real....
Tought i would share a few pics with you guys !!...

Lovely car you got. That's a really nice colour aswell!

@whiteDevil_170: thx, m8, appreciate it...lovin' the lights conversion on yours (especially the red interior ones), envy your Lugano's...
