Hello from the sunny Island of Malta

This is my silver 122BHP Manual 1.4tsi Scirocco in Silver, Although its NOT the twin charged version, it is the turbocharged model which is more reliable than the 160BHP one which, is known to give trouble.This happens to be my first car, below you will see the progress of the vehicle from the first day I got the car onwards, the first few pictures, show the car in its original state, slowly you will see the progress of the car, which I will be continuously updated as I make changes to it.

I hope you enjoy this thread, suggestions are more than welcome and comments are greatly appreciated.

Throughout this thread, you will see the progress the car goes through and descriptions of the Mods done!.

I have quite a few plans for the car, so stay tuned!.

Enjoy!

Next up, was wrapping the roof in Avery Gloss Black wrapping Film, together with the mirror caps. And whilst I was at it I got my front headlight tinted, Simply gorgeous!.

So, I had a small bumper "accident" and the car is at the body shop for some repairs, when I first bought the car the back and front bumper both needed new spray. So whilst its there the back and front bumpers will get repaired

I was thinking, whilst its there to spray the border around the front grill in the same colour as the rest of the car

So heres a photoshop of how it should turn out

Photo 1 original
Photo 2 silver border
Photo 3 fog deletes and silver border

Love the door sills, I got some off Amazon (I think) last year but yours look much more stylish.

Great to see a scirocco from Malta. I'm half Maltese and visit regularly and am always on the look out for a Rocco on the Rock!

BIG UPDATE LOVING THE NEW LOOK!!!!

So I decided to paint the border around the front grille, also the strips on the side from black to silver, in order to bkend with the body.

THE DROP
I decided to get a set of Eibach sport kit lowering spring, creating the perfect wheel arch gap
