I think I like them mate.
Having said that the up close pic I didn't think I did.
But the full on pics look good and love the wagon pics!
Respect for being different
Prob with u mate is that you have so many bloody great rims on that car and these are a bit out there!!
Hence a few not so positive opinions
Keep them pics coming mate!

Right then.
Been about 3 weeks with no update, so here we go again!
Had a nice drive up to Bradford on Thursday where I picked up my R32 front brakes and discs which weigh a bloody ton!
Then drove just around the corner to Michael at MJ interiors, Thought that it was worth the journey as he is renowned as being one of the best in the country for upholstery and I knew he had the correct material thanks to Robin who gave me a heads up.
So enough talking, you want to see the results right?  :signLOL:

Before:





After:




Not as far out as could have gone, the wife said I should have done red, as the red and silver theme is all over the car. But I decided that everything I am doing on the car seems OEM/OEM+ themed, so thought subtle rather than OTT modding would suit it.
And as a last minute fine touch I called Mike up and he did this for me:
Before:


After:



To do this amount of work in 2 and a half days was mind blowing, the quality is perfect and he works to deadlines great, and at a reasonable cost too I might add!
More to come soon i'm sure.

Very nice Big Al.  :congrats:

You can always get the stitching and the R logo taken off at a later date, it looks very smart.  :notworthy:

I did ask about the R logo, and he said he could do it, but it would be difficult to get a  perfect match for the rest of the leather.
Trying to decide if a badge or some large embroidery over it would work?

I visited him also, when i wanted mine done in red, and the whole section needs replacing, i think he or you could order the GTI one if you wanted to go down that route.  :happy2:

Saw a MK2 Rocco with some originals on a couple of weeks ago, not seen them in flesh before.

Glad you recognise the style, fifteen52 make them and are all into the  retro looks and styles, think they are discussing doing the pirelli pslots too.
I have asked about an arch flare kit that they showed in PVW but it's on hold at the moment.

Mainly as I have never had full leather, and since I did then I realised how cold it is  :grin:
That and I just wanted something different for the seats, just to make them look a little better in my opinion.

Like the wheels.  Probably only those old enough to remember them on Scirocco's will appreciate them.
