Well after 4 years and 11 months I have sold my beloved Scirocco R...
I wasn't looking to sell but a friends son who has lusted after it ever since I picked it up made me an offer I couldn't...

I am after a RHS (Drivers) side tail light assy for my MY12 Scirocco R.
I can get aftermarket rears for under $400 (for the pair) but really only need the Drivers side and dont really want to pay...

I originally thought that... till I fitted one to my Roc... now the Standard car looks to be too narrow at the roof.. IMHO anyway.

This Rear Wing makes the Roc look so much more aggressive... it really should have been the way it came from the factory.

Now it looks like it is readily available.. at least for a few anyway....

It all comes down to personal preference... I would expect most tunes to be of similar gains these days...the torque / power curves may be a little different which will affect drivability but overall...

Looks so much better...

A few more pics... not too sure I will post anymore after this as no one seems terribly interested these days.

I have my genuine BBS LM 19 inch 5 x 112 Rims (rims only) for sale.
These are 2 piece forged wheels with no buckles etc, in very good condition.

Rears - 19 x 10 52 ET...

You will not notice any Torque Steer from a Scirocco in normal everyday driving.... With worn tyres in the wet (yours are new) then you could potentially notice it depending on how hard you launch......

You will know if its torque steer... the car will change lanes under power... just turn off traction control on a wet road and you will see what it is like... Oh... make sure the road is wide and no...

I wouldnt bother with 5mm spacers...you really cant get hub centric spacers for 5mm and you run the risk of vibration at speed if the rims are not properly centred... dont expect the wheel nuts to...

60,000.................. holy cow... mine hasnt hit 20,000 yet and is 3 years old....lol

Ahhh that makes more sense...
I am trying to find out more info on what the specs are on the V718's shown on the pic in the link below.
...

So you are running 12.5mm spacers on the rear??? Effectively giving you an offset of 22.5
and 25 on the front...

Wow, I would have thought the rear tyres would poke more than they do in in the...

Haha... yes... if only it was that easy....
I guess if I had a rim handy it would be easy

I would love to see a clearance template for the VMR on the 35 offset.
Just not sure if they would clear my Brembo's.... just in case I decide to look at alternative wheels :)

I wonder if the...

The centres are done in Hyper Silver which is quite dark... and the lips are polished...

This pic shows the difference a little better...

Very nice.... what offset did you end up getting...
These VMR's are a lovely wheel.....

Haha.. I had 24mm spacers on the front... I am in the process of reversing the centres on the BBS LM's which changes the off-set by 16mm so I will be back down to 9mm (custom) spacers to clear the...

With a spacer anything more than say 5mm you really should use new extended bolts...

All the information is in the threads or on google..
The Soundaktor is found under the plastic trim at the base of the windscreen... or I believe you can have it turned off via VCDS.
The flapper...

Personally I prefer the sound without the Soundaktor... Once you know what it is and how it works... it seems a little contrived for the actual performance of the car...
Not to mention there have...

Anything you do to the car can potentially void the warranty... it is a risk that you take I guess.....
The warranty thing would ONLY be an issue of you had a major engine failure of some kind... I...
