My new Rocco

[vivaladan]

Hey guys,
not often i post on here, but thought id throw up a few pictures of my new scirocco iv recently purchased :
its a 2.0 tsi with a dsg gearbox, a world of difference compared to my old fiesta.
Will do some small touches to it to being with but mostly enjoying it at the momment!

Even though im overly paranoid about all the electrics and the dsg gearbox... but then i just worry too much.

So heres my old fiesta...

and heres the rocco! (excuse the poor pictures)

Considering its only my third car and my first car was a 1996 clio i dont think iv done too bad!

Cheers for looking

Wow. 3 spokes.
Nice VW.

 

[Simon_16v]

Nice! My mate has one of these but its the R version in white

 

[vivaladan]

Sadly i couldnt afford the R
So this was my compromise haha
Still more then quick enough for me though, i think an R may have been too much of a big jump from a 1.4 fiesta haha

Nice car as it is. Going to ruin it like the Fiesta?

 

[DaveDreads]

Someone already did that by speccing hearing aid brown interior.

It is a nice car though.

 

[vivaladan]

Im going to modify it eventually, i know peoples opinions on "ruining" a car but everyone has different tastes.

The interior looks alot better in person

 

[ben_p]

Like it, I also like the interior!

 

[182Trophy]

Looks lovely mate, enjoy!

 

[Gally]

Like it. Decent spec.

 

[Ian_182]

I like that, such a massive improvement over the crash test fiesta.

 

[Rob]

Very nice, not sure on the interior colour though.

 

[banther]

I would really like this exact (minus interior) Scirocco.

 

[vivaladan]

I know the interior is a bit of a marmite taste, I was unsure seeing in pictures but then in person it does look awesome, not sure id pay the £2000 optional extra for it though haha

 

[banther]

How much did it set you back in total - if you dont mind me asking.

 

[vivaladan]

£14000
Which I'm pleased with as it's had the front bumper resprayed, alloys refurbished, fresh service and MOT and 2 year servicing plan with vw. It's also only done 36000 and the interior is immaculate. The body work has some very minor things to sort out but the car needs a thorough detail anyway

 

[Scrooge]

Very nice, I also like the interior but f**k me it's in desperate need of a clean. The leather looks hanging!

 

[vivaladan]

I think it's the poor lighting and the fact it was taken at night that makes the interior look worse :/ I'll have to get a better picture of it soon!

 

[_Tom]

It does look very dirty leather tbh.
Nice car though mate. I really like them, just a little boring to drive.

 

[Darren S]

I don't mind the leather too much - a little 'old manish' I suppose - but certainly no deal breaker.
If you were closer, I'd volunteer to clean the interior with some Meg's Gold Class Leather Cleaner. I've got a slightly unhinged addiction to the smell of that stuff. I think 30% of the weight of my 182 seats is through layers of that stuff on the bolsters.

Nice car! Get yourself on sciroccocentral mate

 

[vivaladan]

Nice car! Get yourself on sciroccocentral mate :smile:

im already on there mate haha

 

[Andyy]

im already on there mate haha

Nice one I will keep an eye out for a project thread!

 

[jesus]

I love both of those! Fiesta was done perfectly!

 

[Crybert]

Wow £14000? Is that right for one of these? Seems mental money if you ask me. You could have picked up a decent mk5 golf gti for half that!

 

[vivaladan]

Cheers jesus the fiesta was a good little car!

I think its a pretty reasonable price for what iv got, especially since i purchsed it from Volkswagen. Theres alot that i could of got for that kind of money... but this is what i wanted.
