Evening chaps, does anyone know of a good paint to replicate the original drum and caliper colour that greyish silver or should I just go with a satin black ?

James

Well, the original is just bare metal, so...

[scratchfree]

Wowhhhh can't be having that ha.. Satin black it is...

[scratchfree]

Had the last remaining bits blasted today an will get off to order coaters tmoz will have some pics then. Did every mk2 scirocco have a rear anti roll bar ? Mine doesn't...

[Mr Funk]

Don't think so, but don't quote me on that.

I've got to be quite honest it's not what I would have done (and clearly didn't) but its simply awesome watching the build. The dedication is superb.
Cannot wait to see it in the flesh.

UK Market 1.5CL/1.6CL/1.6GL/1.6GT didn't have rear anti-roll bars as standard I understand -

You know I had not bothered reading this thread because I was not too interested in "Best way to sell a 86 Scirocco GT ??"

But seeing what it is about now I just read all of it :)

Flip James, your attention to detail has to be admired mate

btw, who's house is it were the rear beam etc is on the living room carpet My missus would allow it, but many wouldn't ;)

Thanks for compliments.

House is my mothers but she is nice, and it is all sparklingly clean.

Changed title as requested mate. If you want to changed in future just press the edit button and crack on.

Good and bad news today, removed the rear light and found this NOOOO!



But received these so can fit them today, while I ponder how to resolve this RARE rust patch.
