Scirocco Central

Finally my Scirocco is ready and the way I want it. Let me show you the stages I went trough from standard to finished black on black look.

Changed 18" Interlagos to 19" Talladega's
Installed chrome Yeti exhaust tips
Installed black high gloss emblems front and rear
Installed Lamin-X fog light foil
Installed R tail lights
Lowered with H&R
Painted Talledega's high gloss black
Powder coated Yeti exhaust tips high gloss black

oh, sweet - what a difference. nice, subtle and tasteful mods, just my kind of car, love it. well done mate!!

front splitter on that will look really cool, too, btw...

Thanks!

You mean like a "R" front splitter?

Like this a lot! Subtle mods but makes it look much meaner!

Like the look of this.

Never really thought about getting the exhaust tips powder coated, but it's something I'll look into now. How much did it cost to get done?

Looks great! how much have you lowered it by? Has it affected the ride much?

Really nice! Like a stealth car now! Got to love the black wheels. It's my next mod!

Thanks for the compliments, it's appreciated!

The powder coating was 30 euro only.

The lowering springs are from H&R. They lower about 30 mm. The ride is a bit stiffer, but not too much. However, the roads here in The Netherlands are quite smooth. Lowering more than 30-40 mm means changing the shocks, and I have kept the original ones.

Had a photoshoot with the Scirocco yesterday. Very pleased with the results!

That bottom photo needs to be entered into the photo of the month comp I think.

Scirocco in good company :-)

I love this car! Do you have a link to the exact springs you bought? You car is the perfect height. I want the same

Very cool

Thanks! I have H&R 29013-1 (1,4 122 hp).

Did the Talladegas fit straight on, or did you need spacer? You should think about getting a splitter. That would finish the front end off nicely.

The wheels could use a spacer, but for me it is fine. Not a big fan of spacers.

I could use some help with a splitter. What to get?

Very nice Roc! love the black on black look, and part of me wishes i had gone down that road myself.. what camera are you using for your photos? the aperture is amazing! my highest/lowest aperture which ever way you want to look at is f/3.5, and its no where near as sharp as this! you must be down to f/1.8 or something! the photo's looks great! (sorry for geeking out about the camera haha)

Thanks for the nice comment. I use a Nikon D700 and Nikon 85mm 1.4 aka king of bokeh! Love this combo!

You've got love Bokeh! i think i might have to get a similar lens for my canon.. Car parts, or camera lens.. the eternal problem haha!

One advantage if you use Canon...the lenses are a bit cheaper (or less expensive) compared to Nikkor.
