Scirocco Central

Well the day has come. I'm trading in my rocco for a new car this afternoon. Overall I've enjoyed my 18 months with the car - apart from 1 or 2 minor niggles - but due to a change of family/domestic circumstances I now need something a bit more practical. My new car is a 9 month old Golf GTD 5 door ...

my avatar gives the game away as does my build thread http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9388&start=20" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Ohh, Golf GTi Edition 35. Very nice. I'm just waiting for a new Golf GTD to be delivered. I've loved my 18...

picked up the car after having it swapped back to standard, realised how poor the stock brakes are and then delivered the exhaust to its new owner from the forum :yes: What car are you getting next, wigit? Anyway back to the thread. I spent 10 minutes trying to get into mine this morning thanks to ...

Pewter Grey. I have a 59 plate in exctly that colour

Not today but yesterday. Got my car back from the bodyshop (a car ran into the side of me at a roundabout ). They've done a very good job of the repair but somehow the car feels 'different'. Might be a good excuse to get a new car

Does anyone know the offset of the VW Donington alloy wheel?

Great photos!! Love the sky in the first 2 shots

Lovely. My 'roc is Pewter Grey but the Indium looks a bit darker than the Pewter

In general the local VW dealer that I use - Verve - are pretty good however there have been a couple of times over the years when the service department haven't done things that I asked them to do. Also I never get them to wash the car

There is another roc in my work carpark this morning!! A salsa red one. I must find out who owns it as mine has been the only one since I got it last September

Where are all the rocs? I am asking this because this weekend I've done a return journey from Glasgow to Manchester via the M74 & M6. On the way down on Friday afternoon I saw 3 rocs - 2 candy white and 1 black. On the return journey yesterday I saw 1 solitary RB roc. This says to me that the ro...

I just got my insurance renewal in from Directline. Its gone up by over £120 to £608 :eyepop: They are having a laugh. I'm 42, maximum NCB, the car is garaged every night and I have my wife as a named driver on the policy. I honestly don't know how they can justify such a large increase. Needless to...

I don't remember seeing the antlers and red nose in the VW accessory catalogue

I hope winter is over. I changed back to my Interlagos alloys at the weekend. As 182_blue says watch it snow this week

I bought myself one of these babies (PA Foam lance from Polished Bliss) and used with my Karcher and Megs Hyper wash produces superb results. Looks as though it's been snowing in the road when i use it, all the neighbours think i'm nuts. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pa-foam-lance-cat2.ht...

I've always found that with the rocco and the Golfs I had previously that you can't go far wrong with the genuine VW wiper blades. Not that cheap but they are up to the job. IIRC I think they are made by either Bosch or Valeo

Morning all,

I've purchased some Osram Nightbreaker bulbs for a good price from a pal of mine in the motor trade

Is it a relatively simple task to change the bulbs?

Thanks

Just for setting the picture. Was everybody else going faster than You, with one hand on the wheel and shaving/doing makeup with the other?

Yeah, I was gripping the wheel with both hands - knuckles white and beads of sweat on my forehead
