Gorgeous mate,
How does it perform compared to a GTI? know its about 260bhp, can you really feel it? Fifth gear review showed it the slowest of three in its class.
And even though it is the top of the range Rocco, I still don't like the standard wheels. Sort them out and should be mint!

It seems a bit sharper and a tad more colour difference if that makes sense, glad i did it and only £100 to swop  :happy2:, it wasnt just about the newer unit for newer units sake, i just wanted one more compatible with a 2010 car and also having the unit that should be in a 2010 car


Nice car ....Worth buying for the needle sweep alone.

PS I'd get a new map for your RNS, it looks fooked :laugh:

yes i know  :laugh:, pic was took at home and i dont want people knowing where i am  :happy2:

I guessed that, better hope the tip ex comes of the screen easily thou  :grin: (joke too)

Seriously what the LED screen like compared to the older A and B RNSs?

unfortunately that would mean either owning a focus or a megane  :laugh: , tbh theres other reviews where the scirocco wins all its rivals even against the Golf R, im not using it on a track either  :smiley:, anyway im loving it, really getting used to it, feels comfortable, goes quickly and corners better than my edition 30 did, i like the adaptive chassis control and it seems more planted at higher speeds

heres a review of the R against the RS

Sorry to go off topic 182.

Jules is yours an 8P3? I thought only 8P3s did that? Or is yours a 2008 8P2 and you had it coded?

AFAIK all 8P S3's do the needle sweep, mines an 08 pre-facelift and it does it

I had a 08 plate S3 the other week for a couple of days and that did it. Where as my mates 07 plate S3 doesn't. He was gutted..  :grin:

Nice car fella........ The Taladega's are the best wheels VW produce at the moment imo..... would love some of these on my MK6.

I know a guy who brought some reps of these recently from this shop on ebay..... they did look very good.
