Hi Folks,

I've just received some pictures of my Scirocco R from my dealer, so I thought I'd share them with you all, so you could see what an R looks like in Reflex Silver. I particularly like the picture of it rear-end :yummy:

I'll update you on what it's like to drive in about 15 days time, after I get back home and pick it up.

Best Regards
George T. Smith

Hi Raffoul,

I got a bit carried away with myself when I ordered mine and it ended up costing me 34,335UKP (I don't have a pound sign on this keyboard!) The same car if I was to order it today was over 36K :eyepop:

I qualified for the 2K scrappage deal on my 15yr old & 'slightly' knackered Corrado VR6 Storm that was probably wasn't worth that much. So I'm really only handing over 32,355UKP. So all in all I reckon I got the R at a very good price :)
The other way I look at it is that I paid 31,360UKP for my Mk5 Golf R32 2 1/2 years ago, so I reckon I'm getting an even better looking car, with a higher spec for only 2K more than I paid for my R32. And considering the price of the similarly specced Golf R, the Scirocco R is an even better deal :D

Best Regards
George T. Smith

Cheers Trix,

I keep promising myself that I'll buy a different colour each time I change my car, and then I bottle out at the last minute and order another silver one. Mainly because it's just such a damned easy colour to live with!
The Scirocco will the 6th silver car I've bought since 2000 and I'll now have 3 silver cars parked in my drive. :rolleyes:

Kind Regards

Funny, that's what my girlfriend said to me as well! :(

But in all truth, scrapping it wasn't an easy decision to make. My partner broke her heart when I handed the keys over to VW.
But it had sat outdoors for the last 13 years of it's life in all sorts of weather, and I was completely fed up constantly spending out my hard earned just to keep it in roadworthy condition. The bodywork was seriously tatty and deteriorating every year, and since I started working overseas 5 years ago, I just didn't have the spare time to keep on top of any of the repairs. :shrug:

It would've also cost a helluva lot more than 2K to get it fixed up and nobody was remotely interested in buying it in the condition it was in. So I bit the bullet and took the scrappage deal!

But I'm sure the spirit of my once excellent Corrado will live on in my lovely new Scirocco :)

Damn, that's a fine looking Roc!!!
Thanks for the pics...I was looking everywhere for some nice and good pics from all angles of the R in Reflex Silver....hope there will be more soon.

I too love the rear!

The only mod I would do is...I would lower it...otherwise it's an excellent piece of machinery with awesome spec.

This is how it would look lowered (35mm):

Wow!!! Thanks for photo-shopping that picture! It definitely looks better with the suspension lowered. :clap:
Unfortunately I live out in the sticks, and the access road to my house is a natural disaster each winter. So I fear that if I was to lower the Roc, I would only end up doing some damage to the underside of the car. Not that it will ever be out of the garage during the winter! ;)

Cheers Again :)

Lovely motor George, looks super. I'm liking th dark rear lenses on the R models.

Round where I live I've seen only 1 R on the road and it was in Rising Blue. The xenon headlights looked really nice and white by the way.

How fast does the R feel compared to your old Mk5 R32? I only ask because the old R32 had a 3.2-litre V6 block.

Hi Gary_Monkey,

My R might be in the UK, but unfortunately I'm not :cry: I work overseas and don't get back home until the 12th May, so I'll pick it up on the 13th or 14th May :clap:

But I did manage to borrow their demo manual R for an afternoon when I was last home, and I can honestly say it feels a lot quicker & more nimble to drive than my R32. So I'm hoping the DSG box makes that experience all the more pleasurable!
And as I recall, the R's turbo soundtrack was no slouch, but the sound of the R32's V6 still puts a big grin on my face :D

I'll post again once I've driven it for a bit and managed to stop grinning like an idiot :hyper:

Later,
George

Glad you like it, and hopefully the pics will tempt others to go down the Reflex Silver road :yes:

I was very reluctant to go for yet another boring Silver car, but after I saw how gorgeous the 2.0TSi looked in the pictures from last years Frankfurt Motor Show, I knew the Silver R would be a wise choice. :nod:

Later,
George

Be my guest, the last I heard was that it was sat outside getting poo'd on by seagulls, or scurries as we like to call them. :fall:

So the next email to the dealer will be to ask them why it's not parked in a nice warm corner of their showroom. :mad:

Later,
George
