Scirocco Central

i Would like to introduce you all to my 2nd R. My original plan was to find another black one. but after not finding one with the right spec i had to have a rethink. So i thought i would do something different with this one. otherwise i would just be copying myself.


Colour: Oryx White
2013
Optional Extras: Panoramic Sunroof, Recaro Seats, Dynaudio, Cruise control, Electric folding mirrors, Colour MFD, Winter pack

Mods

Suspension

VWR streetsport coilovers
Superpro alloy controlarms with antilift
VWR droplinks

So here he is. In his standard form

Looks great, I bet the Recaro's look spot on.

Cheers Dave. i havnt got a picture of the Recaros yet. ill put one up when i do

So after having him a just over a week i got this little beauty in my tyre



Had do drive around on my Wally wheel (space saver) for a couple of days until i could get a new tyre. those thing are stupidly thin.

Was Really liking the look lol

Allthou the Scirocco is a nice car and all why one more?
No other cars in the price range that tickels your fancy? TBH it is pretty thin come think about it. An S3 is just and A3 with slightly larger wheels.

I did briefly look at other options. but nothing really caught my eye. The Rocco is still one of the nicest shape cars out there. just couldnt stay away lol

No irvysan. It's a pre-facelift R

So i left my car with my garage the other week with quite a long list of things to do. some of them were to put the bits from my old car back onto this one. so i'll start with the old stuff...........

1st things back on were the rear diffuser and the Dectane Rear lights. this picture shows the difference between OEM and dectane lights





And a side on shot

Next up was to sort the handling out before any engine work starts. No point in having more power but unable to control it. so this time instead of just replacing the springs i went for the VWR streetsport coilovers. i was always dubious of coilovers previously as iv always heard they are a rough ride. but im pleasently suprised. yes they are stiffer. you feel the road more. but they arnt uncomfortable at all.





the built quality of these are perfect. i had the garage set these slightly lower than when i was on the VWR springs. they have been on for about 3 weeks and have finally settled. ill post a picture soon of the height

Are those dectanes red/smoked or black/smoked?

They are Red/Smoked

I also decided this time that i would get the Superpro alloy control arms with antilift.



Being fitted
