Scirocco Central

My first post on here, but just thought I'd share with you all that I'm hopefully selling my beloved Golf mk4 tomorrow, and I'm picking up my 2.0TSI Scirocco in Deep Black on Wednesday This will be my first new car, and I cannot wait! Will post up some piccies when I get it, but until then, here's one of my golf!

Picking up on Wednesday, you lucky thing!! Enjoy!

aaaah i'll always have a soft spot for mk4 golfs! have you joined us from the uk-mkivs forum?

Yeah I've been a member on ukmkivs.net for the whole time i've had my car, I'm already liking the look of this forum too!

4 days to go.... And counting, it really couldn't come any sooner

Good choice on the colour... enjoy...

Same here, golf mk iv sold, waiting for my candy white..

Meant to pick it up last wednesday, booked time off work to go and get it from Cheltenham (I live in Cornwall), Tuesday afternoon I get a call to say that the delivery company has had a few drivers off ill, so it wouldn't be there until Friday, worst case scenario would be Monday. Obviously this couldn't be helped, but I asked Martyn at the leasing company to keep me updated, which he hasn't bothered to do at all, so today (Sat) I ring Chelt VW and they say that the car arrived yesterday, but as the fleet guys are off now won't be ready until monday. I have to say the guys at VW have been really helpful, but it seems as if the leasing company couldn't care less now that they've got my money and a guaranteed sale, the guy's even ignoring my phone. Anyway Chelt VW have assured me it will be Monday, so expect some pics then! Just thought I'd share my experience of www.newcarleasingcompany.com with you!

IT'S HERE!!!

I'm in love.

Took these pics just after giving her a coat of Zymol. Let me know what you think!

Everything is almost perfect, my steering wheel is slightly wonky, and the day after I got it I got a warning light on to say the rear nearside reverse light wasn't working!

i'm drooling!!! its gorgeous!!! (nice house too from the glimpses)

S

That looks very, very nice!

I sometimes wish I'd had the black but I know I would be compelled to put black wheels on for the true stealth bomber look. Oh and a little red led strip of moving lights in the front grill below the bonnet to fulfill my childhood nightrider fantasies!

i suppose it would be a better version of Kitt though..

Haha, definitely a cooler version of Kitt! Thanks for the comments, I personally wouldn't have actually gone for black but it was the only one which they had in stock and I needed it asap! Now I've got it I'm really pleased though, the metallic fleck in the paint is gorgeous, it's gold and blue. And thanks for the comments on my house! It's lovely being tucked away from prying eyes, it puts my mind at ease.

btw you can change your profile to 'I drive a..' rather than 'I've ordered a..' now!!!

S

Sweet, will do, thanks!

Meant to say, I did a 14 mile trip yesterday evening from cold, and I managed to get an average of 45.5mpg by driving like a saint! The temptation was there but I had to resist it! I also beat an 08 plate Porsche Boxster off the lights today, not sure whether it was just him getting a poor start or what but he was definitely going for it! That put a big smile on my face.

Glad ya happy, my steering wheel is slightly to the right too i took it to the dealers and they said it was all fine, its still on the wonk lol so just gonna put up with it till tyre change then get it sorted me thinks

It looks stunning...first class choice on colour by the way...

Has anyone got black wheels on their Scirocco? Or powder coated the interlagos? Wonder if it would look good with the black paint....
