Hello everyone!
Im Dan and iv recently purchased a Scirocco
a 2.0 ltr TSI with dsg gearbox and a few optional extras on it
I dont have any great pictures of it yet because iv mostly been driving it and enjoying it at the momment!
If someone could shed some light on what the colour is actually called thatd be awesome?
I already have a little list of things to do to it to begin with, some new centre caps for the wheels, new bolt covers, the exhaust needs polishing back up and the whole car needs a really deep detail... i may also de-badge it
Later down the line i want to lower it (maybe on airride) and some new wheels and a splitter maybe?
Cheers for reading

Looks good mate - I'd say this is an indium Grey rather than the Pewter as its slightly darker

Your paint code should be on a sticker in the spare wheel well in your boot.

LOVE my Volkswagen Racing lowering springs. And designed to work with stock dampers etc and not shag them. They don't invalidate any manufacturer warranty so that's speaks volumes about their quality

So not a great deal has happened with the rocco at the moment
Iv mostly been focusing on claying/polishing the body to get the paint work up to the standard I'd like it, which is slowly getting there
Iv had some new VW badges for the wheels turn up today which ill thrown on some time this week and iv also debadge and dewipered the rear!
Im eager to start properly modifying it but sadly lack of funds is stopping that
(mostly because of christmas)
and the dewipered/debadged rear

I believe there is a minimum amount of posts before you can access it

Nice Scirocco! How did you get your exhaust that clean and shining? Mine is also as dirty as yours was on your first pictures.. I really like how you get them the way they are now! Or are these exhaust tips? Thanks in advance

Nice car! Its Sumatra grey. Quite a rare colour. I have the same car but manual and I've only seen one other around my area this colour. I keep thinking about debadging mine but can't make my mind up....

Cheers dude! Yeah mine bugged me how filthy it was, I just used some wirewool and borrowed some of my mates my course metal polish (can't remember the name) and now each time I clean the car I just use some mequiers metal polish

Cheers man I got it from
https://www.gecleant.de/shop/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They're kinda expensive for what it is but I think it looks a lot better then a rubber grommet, plus they get delivered quickly considering they come from Germany!
