My Bagged Silver Rocco from Belgium
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2015 7:22 pm
Hi Guys/Girls!
My name is Kevin, 22y old..
I'm new to this forum from Belgium so please excuse me for possible mistakes in my writing.
I own a 1.4 TSI 122bhp Silver Leaf Scirocco from 2010
Got It at a VW dealer 2,5 years ago with around 6200 miles on the clock (10 thousand KM)
I'ts not the fastest one on the planet but I'm happy..
My build from start till now : (some pictures are a bit crappy, sorry!
)
In My opinion, the stock scirocco suspension was way to high.
So I started of a few weeks after I bought it to lower it with an AP coilover kit and kill some wheelgap.
next, I got a set of 19" replica Rotiform BLQ's and did some carmeets here and there over the weekends
Drove around like this a few months but since I started to roll more heavily into the stanced car culture
I had It with seeing replicated wheels everywhere so I decided to get myself a pair of nice clean looking real wheels.
Always been a fan of Rotiform, Especcialy the "IND" model so I got these fitted and loved the result.
As a next small update I decided to remove that horribly ugly looking dust holding windowscrathing rear wiper
Ordered a glass plug from gecleant.de and It looked so much better IMO. This removal should be a factory option, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who likes this better
And I wrapped my blinkers in smoked orange and installed orange led's for that US-Lights look.
This is where the Lovers/hate part start..
The coilovers did a great job but I always liked how cars looked on airride, when I spotted some bagged rocco's on different carmeets I knew I needed this in my life.
If understand not everyone is into "stupidly" low cars but I'm not hating on stock suspension cars either so keep it decent in the comment section please.
I still accept honest critics though
Looked around for a good set of bags and my eyes fell on an barely used Accuair E-Level system that was for sale for a very good price and was almost plug and play for my car.
Since this is one of the best systems on the market right now I drove over there, bought it and got it installed over a weekend and resulted into this.
Since my rear wheels are 10J wide, I needed to camber the rear with the maxiumum amount of factory camber I could get and so they could fell nicely into the arches.
here's a picture together with my buddy's black rocco.
next possible hate part.. I wanted more low in the front, so I got my frame/chassis notched and also now my cardan Isn't hitting my chassis everytime I hit a bump.
And oh yes.. we have a lot of bumpy roads in banana belgium
Survived winter on stock wheels and the we arrived at 2015.
last month I got my wheels refurbished and ceramic polished with a brushed face finish at PUCpolish/Felgenwerkes UK and I love how they came out!
And as my last update till now I got my front bumper smoothed and my grille painted in piano gloss black.
And this is how I'ts siting now.
Here's some pics from our own last meet (Heaven On Wheels, maybe a recognazible name to some)
Comments/critics are more then welcome
Cheers!
