Re: Introduce yourself
Hi there, another white one! Sciroccos are notorious for getting damp inside, so marine ply would be a better choice for making your own parcel shelf than MDF.

Re: Introduce yourself
Ahh cool some of you guys are quite close then , will be at the national meet if I’m not at work, I work shifts in the oil and gas industry and getting time off when I’m due to be at work can be a nightmare, will get a build thread started at some point.
Thanks
Si
Thanks

Re: Introduce yourself
Hi
I'm the new owner of a white mk3 Scirocco R and so far I'm very happy with it!
Is there anything I need to be aware of?
