After looking for what must have seemed like ages I finally put a deposit on a candy white Roc R, I gotta go sign the documents today.

Specs:
DSG
Black 18 Talladegas
Leather
Rear Sensors
Sunroof

Big Smile on the face

Its a used 10 plate with 3700 on the clock so I hope its been bedded in properly.

What are the issues with retrofitting a sat nav, cruise and a fiscon bluetooth on a 10 plate car, is it possible?



Pics below!:

Nice one , sat nav and bluetooth are quite easy to fit (sat nav being a very easy job, it took me about 10 mins to do mine and thats with programming with VCDS) , cruise is a harder job as it means a whole new stalk and possibly a new controller, not a cheap job either, if you want i know of someone who supplies and fits all of the above at very reasonable rates

Its got the Black wheels! Wonder if that's from a Golf R or someone decided to paint the silver ones Black?

Never did find out if they changed their options to allow Black wheels for the Roc R in the end.

I hope it's painted rocco wheels as the golf has a different ofset

by how much???

[ayc1985]

I would like to know too, what does different ofset mean, will it affect the handling or performance of the car?

[trix]

take a look at the offset calculator in the wheels section it should give you an idea, & also http://www.driverstechnology.co.uk/wheel-offset.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

(also handy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_(wheel" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;))

Golf is 44 and roc is 41

off to the dealers now, will post the tyre sizes etc soon. Will a bigger offset mean anything to me such as replacing tyres more often etc?

Nope, its just a handling thing, as the tyres will sit in a slightly different position, nothing massive but after VW made the ofset 41 for a reason

I think you will find the Golf R is 51

thought golf was 51

[gasiorx]

you have 18" in black? it can't be from golf, because you can spec only 19" wheels in black. It's very interesting, i've never thought i could spec my scirocco in black wheels.

[wigit]

its not rocket science that the previous owner/dealer may have had them refinished in black

Car looks great. I have a RB R and have just fitted the rear cup-holders as per Chungsters parts guide. Plonkers at VW gave me 4 rear cup holder mechanisms, but charged me for one.................

So 3 spare with no covers (covers about £2 from VW)

I have got Bluetooth and Reversing camera going in this weekend..........
