Scirocco Central

Wasn't sure whether to do a build thread but I've done a little bit to my rocco so thought i'd give it ago..... so here is my 2010 black scirocco 170 tdi dsg when I picked it up it had only done 26,000 miles


So once i got it home and had nice weather it got a good clean





Next thing I did was plastidip the badges matte black and put my personal plates on german style.

next to be done was what was going to be last which was a set of wheels



Hated the look of how high it sat so H&R lowering springs were bought

Much better
Quick clean came next


I then put spacers on 12mm at the front and 15mm at the rear

Side view to show the height a bit better


I then gave it a full clean ready for a local show





Then a few from the show



My favourite picture from it

Next up was 15mm spacers all round


gave it a nice stance needs to be lower still though, I have changed the badges as the plastidip ones were ruined from polish so ordered carbon ones and put them on will put a picture up as soon as I get one.

Decided to buy some paddle extenders
Before


After


For now thats it done in the pipeline are coilovers, splitter and to fit the de-wiper kit I've got.
thanks for looking comments always appreciated

Cool. Do you live in Derby? Wouldn't mind picking your brains about your H&R springs. Where did you get them from and where did you get them fitted?

No I don't I live in Newcastle so only 30 mins away. As for the H&R springs I got them from PSI Tuning and had then fitted at a local garage that my mums fella owns. There is no difference in ride quality between them and stock.

Not really updated this at all, so since my last post some builder decided to not strap his ladders down correctly and this happened,


the ladders were that jammed under that the recovery guy had to winch them out leaving this



When it got dropped off at the garage I chose the damaged was assessed.






So I needed: Intercooler, radiator, new bumper and all the plastic trim to go with it, boost pipe as it had a hole in it, and the wheel arches for both sides.

Police did nothing and I didn't want to go through my insurance 'cause I knew it would cost more in the long run in renewals.

After 2 weeks I got the car back all fixed since getting it back I've removed the rear wiper put it on coilovers and had the rear lights tinted.


coilovers fitted


Gave it a good clean



Wiper removed


And last thing to be done rear lights tint




Next up is to have all the plastic trim sprayed black to blend it with the rest of the car, front splitter and to lightly tint the front lights. Also I'm after these wheels as well.

So I was after them and today I got them just need to sort a few other things out before test fitting them

Will you be selling the old wheels?

I've been that guy that had the ladders fly off a vehicle.

Had them strapped to the roof bars of a navara, one bar snapped which ripped off the other one and sent the zarges flying. Luckily no-one was injured and no vehicles (apart from the navara) damaged.

You from Newcastle-Under-Lyme? Your Scirocco is looking nice. Any test fitting pictures up yet?

I've got quite a few in mind. Looking forward to FittedUK, do you go any local meets? What coilovers did you fit? I'm hoping to get a cat back system next month
