Re: Original Scirocco GTX 16v Rebuild

So everyone…..I’ve had many a drink so another update…. As mentioned before I was happy. At this point in my life the only cars I had owned were many mk1/2 golf and roccos.

Good respray place?

Hi gang. Its time for me to finally get the rooco full windows out resprayed. Does anyone know of any rocco friendly companies? I'm looking for quality, not cheap.

Re: 10k for a mk2 anyone?

Let me know what you think.
