The Yellow Scirocco is another one of Mark Hammonds old cars, he owned it twice i think. I was going up to the Blue Mountains once in my Corrado and it was coming down towards Penrith, i wondered what the hell it was, looked like another Corrado at first. Looked very wide!! Was all over in a few seconds so good to see a pic.

I love the look of it with the BBS CK's... and I am warming to the Vortex Wing... it looks pretty good on this one.

Agreed. Looks nice! Like you, im warming to the Vortex wing..

There is a black r around here (Armadale/North Caulfield) with what looks like these BBS wheels in black or anthracite. Lowered and very mean looking.

Took my car to Mr Detail (http://mrdetail.com.au/) in Melbourne last week to have the full Nanolex treatment (Paint, Rims, Glass and Interior) + Paint correction.

That should give those not familiar with the Indium a good sense of what it looks like. It is one of those colours that I think will look very flat on a grey Melbourne day but absolutely sparkles when there is good light for reflections

I'll post a few different shots elsewhere.

[longman]

Looks great Mac, you are so right, the colour of the sky and surrounds makes such a difference as to how smart or sexy it can look.
Congratulations, hope you are as happy with it as we all are with ours....

Well yes in a word though she hasn't driven it yet.

She loathed the BMW so I stood a very good chance of improving my fortunes on this one.

She will like driving it..she loved our old MkV GTI and the car in D is pretty benign below about 2500rpm.

Winner I would say at this early stage!

I have the option of getting black rims before delivery but will not get to see them on the car.

I'm worried it will look too boy racer?

Haha. At first I thought you were being serious!

If I really had the choice, I would have gone Indium with black wheels. Looks phenomenal. Ahem, Ian......do it!

[Lucas_R]

That looks like United Grey with the Golf 35th Edition rims?

Isnt the Idium grey on the Scirocco R a darker shade of grey?

Ahem, Ian......do it!

I believe he is, hence why he has black Vic Euro plates ;)

Looks great! Definitely my 2nd color option after CW!

[ConR]

I believe he is, hence why he has black Vic Euro plates ;)

Now I want to paint mine grey.

Ian wanna swap? ;)

[Mac135]

I presume i'm being baited....

Have to admit the pic looks good esp considering that i'm generally very dubious about black rims. Other priorities at the moment might mean the talle's stay silver for the moment at least. Having thought out it forvall of three seconds I've decided I don't like black talle's.

Could be pursuaded by the rims in the picture from the concept x though.

[ConR]

No bait. If someone were to offer me that grey Roc for mine I'd do it in a heartbeat. But I'm taking my mods with me ;)

[Mac135]

So do you hav all th mods on yet? Wasn't today the day.

Should have it back tomorrow!

Lol. For real though. I would swap for that grey. No hesitations!

That gray looks amazing. I'm giving the dealer a call this morning and getter her to swap the rims for the black r golf rims.

Thanks!!!

Just be careful as the offsets are different. That is what I was originally going to do but can't be done. Get them to spray them instead. Dealer originally agreed to do it as part of the sale and when I asked about offset after it was brought up on here, he went and confirmed it couldnt be done.

Golf R wheels on Rocco R

Are the golf r rims or painted tallies? The dealers in Sydney get them sprayed and donot swap them. I can't imagine them putting spacers on them from the dealership.

[she_dub]

Stos is absolutely correct. Most likely painted Scirocco wheels- same tallies. No dealer (in their right mind) is going to put spacers on, considering it's illegal.

[Cookie28]

Although if you look in the pic it looks as though the back wheel is sunk in more than usual so they may have gone for the black wheels as opposed to having nice offsets haha, they obviously don't care about stance :P

[Mac135]

Although if you look in the pic it looks as though the back wheel is sunk in........... they obviously don't care about stance :P

Do you think or is it just a trick of the eye?

[Cookie28]

Honestly I'm not sure and I was looking at it on my phone but that's how it appeared to me

PS I love your dog's name (I get called Mac by everyone haha)

Edit: just had a look on my computer and I think that you can see more of the bumper than normal for the Rocco's so I think they may be the golf R wheels put on a scirocco but if anyone has any more info please feel free to correct me

You did pretty well... what lens were you using?

[ConR]

Couple snaps with new kicks. They'll be changed soon hopefully ;). I regret going with black wheels now. Ah well.

Crap iPhone. Friend has a crazy Canon with a Hubble like lens. He's going to snap some tomorrow. These will do for now. Last pic is from yesterday. I painted some Audi bolt caps in matte black and put them on this morning, so you no longer see the silver bolts.

No....he had the car for 4 days. There is no way for the amount of detail he goes into that he can finish in one day. Car has to be extensively prepped and cleaned (claybar) first, then parts removed on the car such as front and rear bumpers, lights, door handles, reverse sensors before the wrap begins.

Great job! How many coats did you put on? I didn't use the gloss on mine did you?

[RoccOwner]

After a few months, break dust will turn your plasti dipped rims into a dirty brown color. And unfortunately you can't clean the plasti dip without tearing it. Enjoy it for a few months. You can carefully clean it with a soft paint brush but it will never be the same as the day you first plasti dipped it. I helped RoccoR do his rims and he eventually got them professionally painted.

Thanks for the headsup RoccOwner I have to say it is starting to look a bit brown and I thought it just needed a good clean. Did you use the clearcoat gloss when you did his rims as im wondering if that will help with them going poo brown over time.

We put the glossefier on his rims which gave them a glossier look but I think it's the actual nature of the material that allows brake dust to collect and stick to it. Even after professional detailing there was still a slight brown tinge to them. Eventually RoccoR got them professionally painted and although more expensive, looks a million times nicer over the plasti dip. Perhaps there is a way to protect them from going brown but I'm not sure. That's why I say enjoy it for a short term and then evaluate your options. A good paint with clear coat will set u back 200 a wheel.

Nice photos mate...Is that the spot down Lorimer st under the Bolte? Was parked down there whilst at a customer appointment last week and walking back to the car I thought to myself it was a great spot for pics...car just looked good down there lol.

Had the same issue on my GTI, I just used some industrial adhesive. The one in the dual-squeeze tubes you have to mix before it becomes sticky. Had them on for 6 months and they haven't moved a bit since.

I used a tiny screw between the slats ( as that stainless is nearly impossible to hand drill) and the small screw in combo with the tape is holding it.

The right footrest is amazing on country/highway drives when you have the cruise control on. Never had it before but my Polo has one and it's great.

Well the springs along with the engine mount provide for a fairly rough ride. Lets just say pot holes are a painful experience :(

I won't be going back to tractor height, but am most likely going with progressive springs like those from H&R or I need to stop feeling queasy about the price of the DCC coilovers lol

[RoccoR]

Yeah the KW's are the way to go, but you're right, that price makes me feel sick :(
Damn pitty to hear that the VWR springs are no good. I heard that the H&R arent really all that compatible with the stock shock absorbers. Something about spring rates and causing the car to bounce.

Hmmm well the other thing I don't like with the VWRs is that the back is sitting higher than the front, so it looks like I'm constantly on the brakes.

Haven't heard about the compatibility issue before.

Other problem is I've driven a Golf R which has coilovers and it's like riding on a cloud. I want that! :(

Hahaha yeah I can imagine.
I would blow $3.5k on ACC coil overs in a heart beat however I'm looking at buying a Merc A45AMG when it comes out so can't justify spending the money.
With regards to the front looking lower than the back, I believe they have done this to keep the overall "stock" stance.
All stock Roccos have that look of the back being a fraction higher.

Damn pitty to hear that the VWR springs are no good. I heard that the H&R arent really all that compatible with the stock shock absorbers. Something about spring rates and causing the car to bounce.

I can relate to the H&R doing that as I'm on the H&R 35mm springs. At sweeping bends on very rough tarmac around 130kph, the Roc feels like it's washing outwards from the corner. Done the same on smooth tarmac, gripped very well.

Suspicion: spring rates along with absorbers don't line up, hence the frequency of vibration/bounce on rough surfaces is so rapid & smooth that it feels you're driving on an air-hockey table.

I wonder if anyone else have the same issue?

[RoccoR]

Yeah exactly what I've heard before.
My understanding was that H&R springs were not progressive but the VWR ones were. Not sure where I heard this but please feel free to chime in if know otherwise.
With relation to the ride quality with the H&R springs can u comment?

I'm not sure about the H&R 25mm ones, but for the 35mm that I'm using, obviously I went more for looks than ride quality. I mainly do my daily driving around with ACC in 'Comfort' mode. Still, the rear end of the car will get totally crashy when going over railway lines, manhole covers or a kink on the road surface. So depending on what kind of roads you mainly drive on, I guess the H&R 35mm ones would be a hit and miss. I mainly drive on smooth suburban streets so I went for looks than comfort. No complaints for that.

Will post another report on how it behaves when I take my car for a long trip out of town, but for now I can say that it doesn't like rough surfaces.
