Tigger73's Scirocco R

[Olle]

Was that cruise an organised thing or just a few mates.

I've been out of the ADL car scene for a while now, just looking to step back in

It was just something that happened at late notice. Yianni does quite a lot of filming at car events around Adelaide and he was looking to try something a little different so I volunteered my car.

Hey mate
Where did you purchase that brand of caliper from??

Thanks Shane

They're just the stock R calipers painted red



I used the brush on caliper paint from Foliatec. It's a 2 pack paint which dries with a hard gloss finish. It's good stuff

Just search online. I bought it off another forum member. I think he originally got it from the UK.

With the Calipers.

Did you paint them yourself and then add a sticker/badge?

Yes that’s exactly what I did. I also put a coat of UHT high temp clear over the top, however I’ve since had to try and remove this as it doesn’t harden properly and ends up as a dust magnet and then can’t be cleaned.

Ended up taking the clear off with isopropyl alcohol. Took a lot of work to remove so I wouldn’t recommend using VHT clear.

I'm looking at a new DSG shifter knob from Black Forest Industries. They have some pretty cool red ones that would match your red calipers.

I'm thinking about getting the orange/black one and painting my calipers orange to match.
