Just went in to have something sorted on the car, and they have a Viper Green in at the moment.
Well, I didn't think I would like it, but I think it looks fantastic!!!

Definitely the coolest colour on the Scirocco., although this is once again a matter of taste of course.

With the amount of attention my black one gets I can only imagine what it would be like to own a Green one!
But then I am not sure it wouldn’t be too much attention for my liking...

F@ck me this is one seriously GREEN car!! :clap:

The showroom lighting seems to make it change colour from every angle. Car is specced with DSG, Leather, Parking Sensors, Pano Roof and Sat Nav. For sale to the first person to pay the cash £26,500 although he said he would be willing to discuss!! :yes:

Looks to me like the front grill has been damaged next to the headlamp so this would have to be fixed before it was picked up.

I will put up a couple more posts with more photos and Andy or Kev can put them in the gallery.

Roc On!!

It's not damaged they've just not put the cover back on yet, the cover comes off in order to get the tow thingy screwed on thats all.

They're are a bit lazy though, I would have put that part on before putting it in the showroom. Once they take out the tow thingy they leave that in the boot next to the spare wheel kit, so should you ever brake down all the parts required for a tow are in the car!

Very nice spec, just a shame it doesn't have Xenon's or folding Mirrors I may have been tempted to do a swap.

I only know this as I saw a few cars in dealer compounds back in August/Sept before they entered the showrooms, they tend to leave the plastic cover in the glove box during shipping.

Top pics... but even then... they don't do it justice... literally other other car in the showroom fades into the background once you clap eyes on it... & even when you ARE looking at the other cars you can still sense it in your periphery vision lol :D

It's the Roc version of the Ford Focus ST ASBO Orange :D But far more prettier... more tart than hooligan :D

Couldn't agree more - the viper at Colindale is actually up on the first floor from where you enter the showroom. You can only see the very top of the roof of the car from the entrance and even then it catches your peripheral vision. Once you are up on the same level its the only thing your brain lets you look at which is completely mental (exactly like the colour) :D

I would say its more of a whore than a tart!!!

Roc On!!

The colour looks ace, but I'm not too sure about owning a car in that colour in a very not-sunny country. Isn't the whole point about metallic's that they change colour in the sun? Atleast its kinda pointless in grey and miserable Norway. :P
