Picked this up a month ago





2010 Scirocco 1.4TSi in Candy White.
Options it came with: 18" Interlagos, Multi-Function Steering Wheel with Highline MFD, Parking Sensors, Factory Tints, Front Fog Lights.

Got it at 10am, home by 10:15am, And had these (freshly refurbed the night before) White Genuine Audi S4's from my Passat fitted by 10:45am. Lol.




And a few more pictures..





Changed the tax disk thing to just a clear circle to neaten it up.



Then changed a few lamps to LEDs for the Xenon look.





Ended up doing ever other LED a few days after (Boot, Glovebox, Footwells, Rear passenger etc)
But no pics.

My plans at this stage were to get a set of Coilovers, a black roof, Xenons and a few bits of smoothing (front bumper plate recess, bonnet badge, and bootlid badge)

Removed the mudflaps aswell because I hated them.

Then fitted a Forge Diverter valve blowoff spacer that my mate bought and they sent the wrong one.




It makes a quiet dump sound but I like it. Lol. took 2 mins to fit. And never paid for it. Lol.


Decided to paint my VW badges because I was bored. I was gonna do them white, but the paint out a can isnt a good match, so black it is. Lol.



Coilovers arrived, so I went to my mates bit and fitted them aswell as fitting coils to his Golf mk6.





Its only dropped 35mm at the front and 40mm at the back.
And thats on thier LOWEST setting. Ive made a complaint as they say 90mm lowering in the product description. So ill see what they can do.


Spent about 3 days changing my Interior trim bits from Silver to Piano Black.
Rather than spend over £100 buying VW's Pieces, I decided to pop mine off paint them Gloss Black.
Took ages to get them all flattened and polished so they look good. But it was worth it.

Heres the only before pics I have:




And now the new pics:




And this is as far as ive got in a month.
Black Roof and Xenons should be next week.
Then Remap after that.

Thanks for looking.

Looks fantastic!

So much better lowered, just dont know what VW were thinking.

What's next?

"And this is as far as ive got in a month.

Ive done the Xenons, got them the other day, a lot brighter and whiter.
Im getting £940 on Monday so ill be getting a remap and a black roof pretty soon.

And I want to save for 20" Wheels & Tyres.

Black roof should only cost £80, that's how much mine cost. Bargain!

[scott.taylor]

Thats what my mate got his done for, so im going to them, another place said £110. Lol.

[Chase]

Looks really good especially lowered, Where did you get your LED's from, link?

[scott.taylor]

Got them from Ultraleds.co.uk. Spent about £50 on them all.

[scott.taylor]

Got some Xenon-look bulbs fitted, much whiter and brighter. Happy days.



Went and got some body/paintwork done from a friend.








Also got a Gloss Black roof and Gloss Black door-rubstrips.

Its all getting a final flatten and polish at the weekend. So should look sweet.

Also booked in for a Stage 1 Map in 8 days.

[wigit]

coming along fella just needs more tapping with that lowering stick and some spacers to fill the arches

[scott.taylor]

Thanks, I know its sitting a bit high. Cant go any lower though, coilovers are all the way down.

Might be buying air ride again, but after new year sometime. Coz its no where near low enough. Lol.
Want a set of 19s or 20s aswell to fill the arches better.

[lokyt]

What gloss black paint did you use to paint the interior trims Scott? Spray paint or paint brush jobby? Like you am tempted to do the same as a change to buying them from VW.

[sciroccorocket]

do what I did on my old Roc GT and wrap them

[robmx]

Did you weld up the badge recesses or just sling a load of filler in there?

[lokyt]

You got any photos of what the trims look like after you did it? Was it easy it is to wrap it in carbon fibre wrap/gloss black wrap.

[scott.taylor]

I painted the interior bits with rattle cans,

emm, the badge recesses weren't welded, just filled. Tbh, they are not very deep.

[scott.taylor]

Wee Update:

Got the Car Stage 1 Remapped, it was a custom written map which seems to have worked really well, Im extremely happy with how it drives now. He said it should be upped around 30bhp, would need to get it checked to quote a figure, but tbh, im not bothered.

Also got a set of Xenons for cheap (brand new in box)
Heres what they look like at night.




And this is how bright they are when you stare into the beam.

I hope they last, but every time I've known somebody smooth recesses with filler, they've cracked within the first few months.

I can only commend you on the progress you've made on the car, it's coming on well. You definitely need 20s tho, I've just fitted some to mine and they're the only wheel that looks right in the huuuuuge arches.

[scott.taylor]

Not updated this for ages...

Not really done anything to it, except,

Bought a Glass Rear Wiper Delete Gromit

Before:



After:



Bought a spare Rear Bumper to start smoothing



I then cut out the reflector housings and the towing eye cover



Since then its been filled in and skimmed a few times and ive not had a chance to finish it, ill probs just end up getting my mates painter to finish it lol.


Since my Audi S4 alloys got stolen, ive been running about on the standard Interlagos wheels

So I managed to get hold of some new Rimmage

Then got these in the post



...

To use with these



The wheels are Genuine 18" Mercedes AMG wheels, 8J ET26 with 205/40's (Front) and 9J ET30 with 225/40's (Rear)

Ive bought the tyres and the wheels are away getting Fully Polished (Faces and Lips) over the weekend cant wait !

I will put pictures up once they are finished and on the car.

Heres some new shots until then...

Hi Scott,

Just wanted to say hi and very nice brief my friend, I'm just down the road from you Airdrie and I work in Livingstone, Mitsubishi Electric.

So quick post to say hi and well done with your car, still waiting for my ROC, supposed to be April but now being told May, so very frustrated at the moment, although i must add posts like yours keep me going.

Cheers buddy,

Luke.

[Cool Hand Luke]

Ps sorry to hear about the Audi wheels, did you have any photos of your brief with them before some sick fekker stole them..?? Only in Scotland eh..??

Bad news,

Luke.
