Introduce my rocco and advice
Hi everyone,
Would just like to introduce myself and my rocco
I bought her a week ago and fair to say i am in love!
59 plate 1.4 TSI in candy white, immaculate all round.
Really want to get down to some detail with her and add
Some small things to make it stand out from the rest!
I have a smaller budget than some of the guys on here but wanted some advice
On what you guys think i should start getting in!
Any help would be much appreciated guys!
Thanks
Jack
Ps. Will upload pics soon for some reason it wont let me on my phone

Re: Introduce my rocco and advice
If you go for 19" luganos then your looking circa £1000 second hand with tyres.
I love the luganos but just can't afford them so I've just had my 18" interlagos painted black instead

Re: Introduce my rocco and advice
Welcome! Honestly mate best thing is to live with it and change what you want, spend some time having a read through and you'll get some ideas.
Alot height the arch gap on these so could start with springs and maybe spacers to get the wheels sitting flush. Or even debadge, interior/exterior bulbs are easy. My first change was the bulbs. keep us posted!

Re: Introduce my rocco and advice
or you could just get a brand new set of aftermarket 18"/ 19"s for the same price of second hand luganos and not look exactly the same as every other rocco out there ....

Re: Introduce my rocco and advice
Gas struts are such an easy mod and something vw should have done from the factory haha.
The centre console stuff is fairly straightforward (plug and play) but not a comon mod.
DRLS are my favourite - have a a look at my thread and you'll see an example
