Scirocco Central

Thought id start a new build thread since ive started tinkering with the car already lol.

Some of yous might know my old Rocco:





Well, I traded that in on the 26th May and got this instead:



Its a 2.0 GT TDi Bluemotion with DSG box.
9 months old with 7500 on the clock and coated in the lovely Indium Grey I absolutely Love the colour !

Anyway, picked it up on the Saturday at 9:30am, swapped my HIDs over from my last Rocco within 15 mins lol.
Then once I drove it back to my mates garage, I had the Coilovers on, and the rear was de-badged/de-wipered all within about

4 hours of owning it

Before


After (Not very good picture)


Coils fitted.







After a long wait and lots of let downs, they finally got finished (not 100% happy with how they turned out, buy hey, i did

wait 2.5 months for them to get done, so i was just happy to fire them on.

Merc AMG Wheels, Fully Polished, 18x8 and 18x9


A wee trial fit (being proper scene y0 lol)


And then the good bit...








LOVE that last pic

Notice the Orange Sidelights ?
got bored of the white LEDs and fancied a change U.S style




I also replaced every bulb in the car with White LEDs again, (11 in total)

And a wee Bonus that should save me A LOT of money...



I think ive done no bad for only having the car for 9 days

Thanks for reading !

Looks GREAT in this shot!

Thanks man ! I'm I love with it now

Just seems that NO ONE likes the wheels over on another Forum :S

the main thing is that you like them scott

Wheels look great mate

Really nice mate, Unlike you i changed from a grey to white , Really like the grey though, got that american kinda look, love the alloys, wouldn't look great on candy though.

Where did you get the front lights from? both sidelights and main?

I was actually looking at the split rim version of these wheels with a candy red center but could not decide if I should search for something in 19 instead. Hmmm decisions...

Looks good needs some clean plates though mate

Phwooar ....

Brave indeed imo but a epic

even braver jacking a rocco at that point with a trolley jack

Love the colour. very nice car,,,,,,,,,,,,but sorry, dont like the wheels. If you do though, thats what counts.

What HID kit is that mate??

Same with mine, not many like it, but as Trix said, as long as YOU like it.

Thanks for the comments guys
For those wanting to know about the lights,

The HIDs were just bought off a guy my mate knows, unsure of what make they are, just H7 6000k jobbies as far as I know lol.
And the sidelights are just painted orange couldnt be bothered ordering new orange bulbs, so whipped out the paint and just gave them 2 light coats and fitted them about 8 hours later after baking them.

Love the wheels mate, stance is great as well. What tyres you running on them? I just bought some rotiform blq's 19x8.5 but the tyres are 215 by 35 so stretched too much for me bumping up and down curbs so looking to change. Yours look spot on!

Looks great, personally I like the Interlagos a lot so not looking to change them.. out of interest how much did it cost you to do the LED's?

My tyres are 205/40's on the fronts (8" wheel) and 225/40's on the back (9" wheel)
I don't know what you should get for yours then, I would run a 215/35 but maybe you should go for a 225/40 or something for more padding lol.

Think I paid about £45 for all of them when I had my last car, and I just took them all out and out them in this one, so kinda cost me nothing to re-use them again

Finally, the thing ive been waiting months to do...





Started by removing the spare wheel etc.


Cutting a bit of MDF and laying it in


Ran the Loom right up the car, under the sills and under the dash behind the glovebox and up through a grommet that you can see here behind the Turbo


And across to the battery with a 30A fuse fitted


Then I started fixing everything down and sorting out all the plumbing of the tank n stuff.



Since these pics, everything has been resealed and tightened and the wiring is all okay, the compressor starts and runs continuously without any problems. So does the ECU and Digital Controller.

2 more days until I get the airlines ran, the Bags bolted on and the Front-right Chassis Leg Notched !

Pics to follow
