I'm looking to buy a Rocco just like that, nice purchase.  Do the '59 plate ones come with all the MK6 interior gubbins like the later ones?

59 is usually a mk6 steering wheel with the mk5 climate control.

Look for a 10 plate or a 60 plate, that's the one with the XDS and needle sweep switchable through VCDS and the mk6 climate system . There's plenty of threads about the model year differences on Scirocco Central Forum

It has the Mk6 interior Dave.
Cheers for the insight into your ownership Gray :)
Already a step ahead of you on the Vcds stuff though ;)


Gonna start a new build thread.

You thought it had died?!?

WELL YOU ARE WRONG MOO HAH HA HA.

But no, I'm going to keep it for the rest of the month (and perhaps into October) to finish off the shows and then I will be splitting it.

I fitted some 12mm H&R spacers at the weekend after a days work at teh unit giving me a final ET of 32 on an 8.5 with -2.8 degrees of camber (the other side has -3.1 which tucks a bit more when fully aired out which is annoying!!)  :ashamed:





Should have done it ages ago. Looks spot on IMO for what was a daily driver.

Car's now basically done.
It will be seeing a couple of other shows.. Players & Westside - But everything is up for sale now.
I have got some standard Monza 2 alloys which will be getting put on and will be selling car as standard (with the bodywork..).

The list of available parts are as follows:


Newsouth Boost Gauge in Vent Pod
The Merc Wheels
The BBS RCs
AVH2500BT headunit / bluetooth / ipod setup
The air ride inluding boot build (being removed early october).
12mm H&R spacers
Subwoofer enclosure (not the subwoofer).
The modded R32 rears
I would also swap the colour coded splitter/skirts/rear valance for standard ones as well with cash my way...
K04 conversion kit.

I will do a proper for sale thread when I have the parts together

£60 as no bolts.
Well, bolts are too long as I bought the right bolts for my merc wheels. Haven't even been a mile on them yet.

Theyre up for 1k
I am swapping them for some porsche splits for the scirocco a week on Saturday.  If you want them then thats fine but would need to be before this.

Mercs did sell to a friend in the end.
BBS RC's are sold too.

I took the Golf out for one last weekend, to a local meet up and to Players, boy it was good to drive I really did miss it.
But onto pastures new.

The last photo I took at West End Dubs a local meet with my other half.

My Scirocco wheels are in for refurb so I'm using the Golf at the moment.

As soon as the Scirocco is back on the road, the seats are being moved over into the Rocco, Audio being stripped, lights, etc.
Air is coming off in October, as it's £300 and needs to wait till payday.

Can you use you air on your Rocco or are the suspension/chassis build totally different? I might have your Powerflex bush off you too, too poor to come down and buy those lovely R32 lights plus wiring! :sad1:

The air would fit but I just don't want to put air on this car that's all.
Been there and done that now :)
Not want to have the "scene" life anymore, going for an outright performance build!

Am open to offers of course on all the parts  :love:
