My Scirocco R (updated 23-5-2011)
« on: September 07, 2010, 12:31:49 pm »
Well, i guess i should really start a thread in here :-)


when i first saw her





and when i got her home



















The Needle sweep






Just a few bits done upto yet



Covered front cubby added (with OEM piano black lid and custom R logo)










Added centre cup holder (not an option on the Rocco)
















Added rear cup holder (not an option on Rocco)












C Version LED screen RNS510 Added





location deleted from screen, hence the white marks






Gulfs footrest added











Audi S3 jacking points added














And finally first aid kit and warning triangle added







**Edit**



Not so much of a mod but the usual rust has appeared on the brakes so i put a bit of paint on  :happy2:

From this















To this (the dark parts on the face is copper grease)
















Update 20-10-2010

Alloys painted and put on












And my original rims all packed up and put away







Door warning lights added



Today i added Door warning/ puddle lights to the Scirocco , i have always wanted these and it looked relatively easy so i bought the bits.

 I am quite pleased with the results and it was all done using the parts/ connectors and power/ earth points that VW intended (well if they fitted them to the golf or scirocco anymore), i also used Genuine VW felt tape to add the new cable to the old loom, then covered the rest of the cable so i wont gent any noises etc.

2 x 1K0947411A Light units
2 x 000979009 Repair wires
2 x 000979019 Repair wires
2 x 1J0971972 Plug








Plus some of these just in case LOL
7L6 868 243  Door trim clips



Repair wires halved and rejoined with alternate ends on




The Old one (just a reflector, no light)




The scary bits








The results (after a bit of VCDS coding)









All New 2011 'R' DSG Shift added











Passat silver switches added and folding, dipping, puddle lights fitted, crap pics but you get the idea

















Switches from this




to this





Bluetooth added







Led reg lights added

decided on yet another little mod, anyway these finally came through today from VW (on back order), i wanted something brighter and not so yellow as the originals but dont really like the aftermarket bits , i recently noticed on ETKA that VW had just added LED lights to the scirocco so i ordered a set to try them.
 I popped them in, (its a simple unplug old one and put new one in job), they are so much brighter than the original ones and give off a crisper whiter light without looking silly like aftermarket stuff can, sorry its daytime pictures but you get the idea :thumb:

The items





The old ones



Side by side




All done

I like the piano black ash tray lid - nice touch especially with the R logo.

The 2nd (higher up) bottle open grip - just wondering what is actually designed for ???

Also how much are the warning triangle and first kits - mine are missing from the location on the left hand side of the boot?

Theres only supposed to be one, when in the top position its used as a separator for two bottles, the First aid and the triangle were about £30 for both iirc
