... Scirocco
Hello!
Until a couple of months ago i was the proud owner of a GTI Pirelli which i loved for 2 and a half years. However, I took quite a fancy to the Scirocco R so after much deliberation about various cars, I went and ordered one. As I didn't really mod the Pirelli, and given their shared platform, I knew I wanted to do a few things to the Roc when she arrived.
Here she is standard:
First thing to do was put my number plate on (although blanked out), plate holder and black VW badges front and rear:
Having ordered some new seats, they were eventually installed and the interior retrimmed in red nappa leather. Was done by D-Class over in Chobham and they did a fantastic job. Delighted with the colour, just how i wanted it. The seats are Recaro Sporster CS's with Carbon Fibre backs. Only got the 1 picture atm, will take some more at the weekend when i get the car back from its latest adventure.
Next up is fitting my 19" black BBS CHs which have been sat in the lounge for a few months
along with Bilstein PSS10s on the 23rd July.
Followed by the APR RSC TBE on the 30th July. The APR has never been fitted to a Scirocco, buttttt, this will be a first!
Then a short shift, engine mounts and EVOMMS shortly after. The lovely people at JKM doing the hard work.
Then finally, clutch, intercooler, fuel pump which will then mean i am ready to go Revo stage 2+. I'm of the opinion that I want to remap it when the car is ready, rather than remap first then play catch up with everything else. Also, given I have never remapped before, I want to do 2+ from the off which i'm sure will be awesome. Brakes may follow after, although the car won't be going on a track and i'm by no means a late braker so would imagine the standard R setup fine for the time being.
Will keep this updated with no doubt a gratuitous amount of pics!
