Black MK3 from Australia

Post by Jezze95 »

Hi all
My name is Jesse Im 20 years old from Australia and this is my MK3 Scirocco R. Bought my MK3 in December 2015 after owning locally built Holden(General Motors) and Fords(local) since getting my license and have been completely converted into the Euro bug! Its currently a 188kw 330nm R completely stock other then 35% tint on side and hatch windows and lowered 35mm on H&R Springs. Next mods will be swaybars, rims and an exhaust then possibly a tune. Also added a few photos of some of my other 4 cars 2 being a 1964 Holden EH and 1969 Ford Falcon im currently restoring after coming from an apprenticeship in automotive body.

Thanks Charlie. As much as Black was the last colour id ever pick I love it plus it makes the facelift abit more subtle meaning people spend more time trying to figure out what it is!

Looks great! :)
What rims do you have in mind?
If you are into driving, i would recommend upgrading with a super pro alloy wishbones/ adjustable ball joints => incredible handling and steering feel :)
Cheers

Thanks ROC82
Ive been looking at the following wheels for mine TSW Bathursts or Genevas or VMR V810's in a 19x8.5 however not sure what the quality will be like for either as haven't seen them on any local cars! Also looked at 3SDM .08 rims but they only make them in 20's and i would prefer a 19 in that exact shape as i want to stay away from the stance style being this is a sports car and i want to keep it someone practical! Finding the right offset is a massive problem to as by law in Australia we cannot legally run spacers so il have to keep hunting and checking the forums! Absolutely love driving especially in twists Il look into them was looking at H&R sway bars as i just want to get rid of the boaty feeling and give it the grip it needs!
