Yeah, love the ride and excited to see other roc models here, as we only have R in the Australia market which is a shame for the small market.

Thanks viper boy.

You guess?

I was going to wrap the whole lights with dark film, but realised it may turn out to be too dark, so didn't take that approach in the end. But the reflective silver area in the middle looks less interest to me, so I drew a same oval shape following the shape curve, cut the film with the same shape and applied it to cover that area. Hopefully not too awkward!

Looks really good dude. i like how you came up with the idea. i might have to do that haha .

Thanks for having the same taste Go for it, just need to be a little patient. Maybe put a full film on yours if your roc comes with a standard light instead of smoked ones. I also want to put a light film on the headlights.

I won't have much update performance wise in the next couple of months as my license has handed in, won't be able to enjoy the car . But will likely have next cosmetic change soon, because I have more time to play with it now! I may pull the car apart to do some mechanic work on my own with possibly a few help hands, then that's all until Xmas, new shoes to go on for Xmas present and back on road

But I never stop ordering stuff! Just can't help!

It has been a while since my last update due to my bloody licence issue...back on road at the Xmas, so took a road trip to Hunter Valley with friends for a short escape

Here is a quick snap - one of my favourite angles of the ride - less look like a hatchback in my opinion.



Happy holidays!

Nice mods man would be good to see the car in person also would love to see the new lights !!
What area in Sydney r u from ? We should organize a meet up and drive ?

Thanks mate. Sure thing. I am from upper north shore of Sydney.

Yeah, I always hope we can organise some kind of Scirocco Day in Sydney or Interstate to have a meet up and say hi to every rocco fan

It has been a little while since last update. Completed my custom stage 1 spec running 196.4 kw at front wheel with a set of new shoes (finally) put on. Still went with my first brand choice for my daily
