Scirocco Central

Hi. Been two months since i picked up my scirocco from a volkswagen dealer in Oslo, Norway. And i have ofcourse enjoyed every minute with it since!

From the factory, the order looked something like this:

2011 1.4TSI Manual gearbox
Black Oak Brown Metallic
- GT Package (GT-interior, alu pedals, black trim on vents, 18" interlagos etc.)
- Bi-Xenon with autofunction
- Multifunction steeringwheel and cruisecontrol
- Panorama sunroof
- RCD 510 with media in and bluetooth for phone
- Reversing sensor or w/e its called.

This is what ive done so far:
- H&R 35mm lowering springs
- Replaced almost all the standard bulbs with LED's
- TSW Nurburgring matte bronze 19x8 ET45 as summerwheels
- Black trim around the RCD as in the Scirocco R

More to come

Some pictures.


From the very first day, just got home after i picked it up at the dealer.


Just a random pic taken in Oslo.


A shot of the interior with the replaced centertrim.


Springs arrived.


Testing the TSW's while mounting the springs.


After the lowering, looks alot better!


And finally, a shot taken some hours ago at Holmenkollen with Oslo in the background!

More to come!

very nice

Interesting colour, steering wheel is on the wrong side though.

Looks like you left it parked up for an hour in Liverpool

Rims look good, when are you fitting them?

Like the leds gnna do the same on mine

@maxreaction, as quick as possible, been calling around to the local wheel and tireshops, but theyre all out of 235 35 19 tires , and the ones who have seem to overprice them, so i'll stick with the wintertires for a few weeks more ;( Got some other and bigger plans for the car now though, will post pictures when im done

how much did you pay for the piano black and for the leds?can you replace them if you dont have xenon?

I dont know how much the piano black is in the uk, here in norway, everything is so expensive the 1.4 160 starts at 32k £ with manual box and 17"s... but i payed something like 50 quid for it.. Was worth it in my opinion though Im not sure about the leds, the vw salesman at the dealer did them for me.. I payed around 80 for all of them :E

thanks man..

crappy picture from my iphone.. will post some better later.

Looking good... Where did you get these rims ?

ebay.com

Didnt find them at ebay at first, so i was gonna buy them from a us wheelshop, but then i found a guy on ebay who had TSWs and i just mailed him and asked if he had those. Should have orderer another ET though, they are all ET45, but i had them spaced out with 10mms in the front and 15 in the back to make it look good. Turned out great in my opinion though

It's a shame that they are not available in EU. It would be better to get them local and avoid all custom issues...

Still iphone pics. ;/


Removed "Scirocco" and "TSI"

Love the classic/mesh style rims !

Still can't find perfect one for me , any ideas ?

Regards !

BBS RS, LM or CH? ADR also got some nice ones. All these are kinda expensive though.. Some BBS replicas maybe?

Some new pics from today.

Excellent pics / choice of alloys!

I'd love to see a Black Oak Brown Roc parked beside a Sumatra - just to appreciate the difference ... .
