Hey guys, just to let you know the alloys in the pictures are soon to be up for sale.

Thought i'd gauge interest while im waiting to put my new alloys on. I'll get some pictures closer up tomorrow if i have time and create a real for sale ad.

Theyre 17's, MVK's and have been scuffed in places.

Like I said just gauging interest at the moment, but if you are interested make me an offer...you never know!

[jabasco]

them wheels look spot on in my opinion mate!!! every time i look at this car, it looks better and better! love it!!! i would be polishing that up every day!!

You may recognise it as it was for sale on this forum...picked it up sunday and gave it a bit of a spruce up today. Rear arches were absolutely caked in mud...all clean now though and the wheels come off for a proper look at the weekend. It runs brilliantly, brought us back from birmingham fine (95000 miles) and has a full MOT.

I've got a list as long as my arm of what i'm going to do to it (many thanks to those who helped me construct that list); loads of little cosmetic things, a full service, new cam belt, new fuel filter, brake fluid etc etc.

Still unsure on the suspension/ride height front....as its going to be used as a daily.

Now I have to wait until my birthday before i can afford to insure it!

Also...in the near future the alloys will be up for sale...let me know if youre interested, ill put a proper ad up when I have some others to replace them. Theyre 17's and a little to large for my liking.

Here's a few pictures:

yeah got me thinking now??? they do look nice, but maybe 15's and get it dropped, oh yes!!!

very nice indeed. Agree the wheels are far too big. Some 15s, lowered and with some decent but reasonably-priced tyres like Toyo Proxes and you'll be flying

I like the look theyre just a bit big, the new ones are kinda similar but a bit more subtle and will hopefully give a better drive as I will be covering a lot of miles in this car.

As for the polishing...ive just returned from uni and havent stopped since I got back it scrubs up a treat! I started cleaning the engine bay too today... opened a can of worms as theres always another more and more to clean! I have 2 weeks until its on the road...I cant wait!

Ash, are you going to drop in to Inters this coming weekend, just up/down the road from you? Would like to see the car mate.

I'd love to mate but my car wont be on the road until the weekend after, which is when im moving back to loughborough. If all goes well I think i'll be able to make the national meet though.

15's + drop that will be looking very nice mate

[ash-lough]

Finally got the new wheels on...just needs dropping now and the long grille adding!



What you think?

[DT1]

More to the point what do you think?

Don't overdo it when you drop it if you plan to use it regularly. Mine is a daily, lowered on 16"'s, I actually took mine back up an inch to cope with the roads round here (kept breaking suspension bits), so I'm speaking from experience.

Of course, everyones tolerance to crashing and banging is different.

Have you seen the long grill on a Scirocco in the flesh so to speak? Or just pictures?

[ash-lough]

I like it, has taken some getting used to lookswise as it looks completely different.

I have a grille just haven't put it on as I'm waiting to put on a headlight loom and see what the difference is and if I dare remove the lights. However I do like the look of some of the home made smaller grilles I've seen.

Lowering it won't come for a while, maybe not at all as it is a daily. I'll see once I'm used to it.

There's a lot of little dings and small knocks to the bodywork as well as the area where its peeled so I'm thinking of having a full respray...maybe a reeeeeally dark purple, almost black. But that again is a while off.

I've been waiting to get a rocco on the road for two years now and tthe big day is Saturday!

Looking good

[ash-lough]

New look, wont be to everyones taste. New wheels and a tad lower next!
