    First couple of mods today - got the front windows tinted in 35% film.

    Also picked up a spare tyre, jack and toolkit from Volkstorque (VW wrecker) in Lonsdale. Wheel is turbine design off a Passat and is 18x8ET41 with 235/40R18 95W tyre. Checked the fuel flap and it's the exact spec for the 18" option for the Scirocco so it works out wellt. Wheel and toolkit cost me $300 so I'm now all set for country trips.

    I'll look at cleaning up the rim and fitting it properly in the boot on the weekend. Also going to test-fit on the front just to make sure it clears the brakes....

    Thanks guys. I've been busy prepping the last car for sale so once I get this one out of the drive I'll hopefully have some more time to spend on the Roc.

    There's a few small things planned:

    - front number plate mount removal
    - custom plate
    - fabric protection

    Still undecided on what to do with the protection on the paint. I had Opticoat on the last car but wasn't 100% convinced it was the ultimate solution as it stopped beading after ~6 months and even with a decontamination it only lasted a short time. I also got quite a few stone chips on the front bumper (not that this was an issue with the Opticoat) due to country driving.

    Thinking on spending the $ on a clear bra this time around however they are pretty pricey. After discussion with the vinyl wrap guys it looks like it's probably going to be better/cheaper to leave it and just repaint the bar when I go to sell the car if it's been hammered with stone chips. Also the edges of the film do tend to pick up road grime and need regular maintenance.

    So thinking maybe just a good wax/polish every 3-6 months may be the way to go this time around... Anyone have thought on this given that a fair few km are going to be put on doing country driving.

    Yeh i dont believe in the paint coatings. The VW's have good quality paint so as long as you wash the car correctly and give it a light polish and wax once or twice a year you are golden.
