The sun came out today, so i decided to take a few pics of the R...

Very nice!

Great rocoo...love BBS CH:)

looks and sounds even better in the flesh! cheers for taking us for a spin!

Where did you buy your cup spoiler? I've been searching on the internet but I can't find any dealer who would sell them at a good price :-?

Very nice indeed, I assume it's been lowered, what springs have you got fitted?

Plenty of info here.... http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... 37&t=12809" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


I love the arty shots but would really like to see some nice crisp pics of the wheels, brakes, rear spoiler, interior etc...

@Nighthawk was fun mate, hope you get the remap done and potentially a new exhaust - i don't see many R's in sheffield so made a good change!

Springs are H&R from http://awesomegti.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - you can order the cup spoiler from any vw dealership to my knowledge. Will get some pics of the interior etc up shortly

Getting quite jealous now ha ha :-D red wouldn't be my colour of choice but I can't argue with the fact it looks smart.

Loving the red leather!

Details are above re springs

Beat me to it

I recognise that car...
& some of the photos..

are they seriously £154 ? i thought lowering costed alot more than that. Ive got a huge grin on my face now. defo need to lower mine at that cost. would it be on the same wheel gap arch width as what it is in this R?

That will be from this thread: http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... php?t=9111" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I picked the car up from a VW dealership down south, then noticed the old owner of it was on here, quite a coincidence.

Yeah springs are cheaper, if you add fitting you'll probably be looking at £200-250. I got a 30mm drop using springs but the previous owner had a 40mm drop using coilovers. i wouldn't go any lower than 30mm personally as I've had quite a few scrapes on speed bumps since lowering...

Thought I recognised the interior. Been trying to weigh up how low to go with my R, have a number of speed bumps near where I am so was worried about catching. What's it like over all, was thinking of going 25-30 mm but not sure.

I dropped 30mm and put a apr exhaust on, been to a few garages that have attempted to lift the exhaust higher (this seems to be whats catching). If i had the choice again, i would drop 25mm not 30. Nothing worse than hearing it catch or even a big bang noise on the exhaust box.

If you keep the standard exhaust on and drop 30mm though you might not have any problems, the previous owner said he never caught anything and he was down by 40mm. Do you have your R in the showroom? Wouldn't mind seeing a few pics
