Which meet is that?
What are the coilovers like? I'm looking into get a set of coilovers, but not quite sure what to get. I'm going for a custom exhaust system.

QUICK UPDATE

The wheels went back wasn't happy with the finish but after 2 weeks and them sending the wheels to a different company to correct I got them back today and went straight to test fitting them.

The wheels are 19x8.5j and 19x10j

Image

10j pokes a little

Image

The rears do have a nice concave to them, just not that easy to show on the photo

Image
Image

I've gone with 15mm spacers on the front

Re: James' black on black Rocco New wheels fitted!

Post by JamesE »

So finally got round to getting tyres fitted to my Rotiforms, had to get 1 repaired due to the tyre place damaging it while balancing the wheel. Looks a lot more evil now. Still a lot more on the list to do.

It looks great! Not easy to make a non r black Scirocco stand out, but you did it.
A pair of facelift xenons, tinting the front indicators, and fog delete kit would make it almost perfect in my opinion :)

Thanks man, would love a pair of facelift xenons but can't see it sadly, front lights and indicators are going be tinted and the grill and door strips are going be body coloured blend them in. Hadn't thought of the fog delete but now you have said it think it's a must haha

The fog deletes you could get them i guess from benny1703 since his is planning on selling the front bumper.
He also has a nice t5 modified grill for sale :)

Hey,
Are the tail lights painted originals, or some aftermarket stuff?

I'm guessing it's applied in the same way car wrap's applied, so perfectly removable? Is it DIY+ebay stuff, or did you have it professionally?

Yes it's the same as a car wrap so can be removed and you could do it yourself I had it professionally done.

I next changed the interior trim to matt black made a massive difference in my opinion
Image

Next came the biggest change so far to the car:

boot all loaded up
Image

After a couple of weeks at the bodyshop here is the outcome
Image
Image
Image

Next job was to get the exhaust done,
Image
Image

At its first show with the kit all on, here it is at the big meet
Image
Image


Next steps are to tint the front lights, new spoiler and then air ride eventually.

Wow! That looks awesome! In my oppinion the R body-kit is the best one for the Scirocco.
Is it OEM or AM?

Huge improvement, well done!
Are the bumper DRL/indicators just plug and play?
