Hi all

Im looking for some advice on small cheap mods for my rocco.

Im new to modding, so far ive only changed my bulbs, sides are now LEDs and mains have a brighter white/blue effect.

What else can i do? it has to be realtively easy to fit and help make my car stand out a little.

Thanks

Paint rear diffuser. At local spray shop of course. Looks nice and should only cost around 50 quid! Also have you upgraded dipped and full beams? Rear tints from b pillar back?

Full beams haven't been done yet, internal lights are being changed to LED soon. Tints are happening next month.

Can't do paddle extensions as I don't have a paddle shift wheel?

Covered bottle holder sounds good! What would moving the ACC button achieve? Sorry I'm not very technical.

Plastidip looks a good route in my eyes if you want matte finish wheels

I read through a good few forums about it. From what it looks like it takes to cover them it works out pretty expensive. If it's just matte finished then winner

sill plates / metal pedals / nice mats / yeti exhaust tips / furry dice (lol) ?

peterg has experience of plasti-dipped bits on his rocco (badges, wheel nuts, wing mirrors), there's a few pictures of it here in the Ace Café meet. he's done headlights too, if that's you're bag...

Steel plates for sure! are they easy to fit? Sill plates have now been ordered too. I have some exhaust tips on the way but not yeti ones.

Fitting the covered cup holder to do guide is here: http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/roccop ... Cup_Holder" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think it easier to find the ACC button when it is nearer the driver, particularly at night so swopped mine with one of the blank slots. Fairly simple to do. http://www.scirocconet.co.uk/forum/how- ... t1577.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

LED lights in place of the reflectors in the doors. Ahh no, just remembered that needs VCDS to activate so move that to in with that below.

Gas struts for the bonnet.

If you can scrounge a VCDS cable from someone then loads of cheap mods. If you can't and have to buy one then not cheap.
