Hi guys, well finally took delivery on Friday of my brand new Candy White 2.0TDI Bluemotion. Have to say, did shed a bit of a tear and a lump in the throat when they drove my Golf away.......then this came around the corner
I’ve only driven about 200 miles so far so she’s still very new and tight, but already returning 50.2 mpg (51.5 according to the MFD so much more accurate than my old Golf). I have to say, she’s everything I hoped she would be. I was a little worried that after 5 years ownership of the MK5 Golf, the Rocco wouldn’t be very much different (especially as it shares many interior components), but it’s like chalk and cheese. I loved my Golf, but the Rocco feels much more, planted and well, sort of cosseting (if you know what I mean). More intimate that the Golf and the seats are superb, and yes, as many of my friends on here kept telling me, the black interior is much more sporting that my beige leather in the Golf
Only had her a couple of hours and already started to modify her. Anyway, enough pre-amble, here’s the first few piccies. Better and more artistic ones will follow.
The mods
LED Sidelights
Chromed Exhaust Tips (from a Skoda Yeti)
Anti Slip –Boot Liner
Sliding Cup Holder (an absolute bas*ard to fit)
Chromed DSG Pedals
Rear Cup Holder and air vents (complete with working air ducts to front).
Covered front Storage tray (from a MK5 Golf) – Not an ashtray.
Stainless Steel Sill Trims
Black “R” model fascia surround (prefer this to the silver one it came with)
Still to do.
Door warning lights. I already have the parts and harness made up, just need to get up the courage to take the door cards off a 4 day old car (gulp) ?
Rear reversing camera. One for later in the year with the assistance of a couple of boys off the forums.
RNS-510 Voice control. Need to sort out the additional wiring to get the RNS voice control working, as currently it’s only connected to the factory Bluetooth.
That’s about it to date.
As I said, so far absolutely delighted.
