X5Pea has just bought a rocco and has a deposit on a mk6 gti, i think those r32 seats are going in the rocco, prefer the mark one next to it

I loved it too :love:

There are so many small details on it that have been done and I couldn't spot where a single corner had been cut in it's build. The colour maybe an aquired taste, but then so are most colours.

It was tooked away in a corner so a lot of people may have missed it unfortunately :sad:
This thing is fookin amazing. I love everything about it, there must have been some serious money gone into it! I am not a big fan of the colour but if you can get over that it is awesome. All the detail that has gone into it is remarkable, one of the cars of the show IMO  :drool: :drool:

If anyone knows him, could they ask him to post up details on here please, it would be good to know all that went into that car, i read somewhere that the back arches are actually off the front just swapped ie the drivers side front, on the passenger side rear. I want details.  :party: :party:  :driver:

ow do , cheers for the comments good and bad, first negative things ive heard about the car to be honest. Dont think its a marmite car but each to their own and all  that :happy2:

Car is obviously a GTI as mentioned 260 bhp ish prob more now  :grin:

Lights were replaced from local VW dealers, i didnt even notice they were slightly different  :signLOL: not sure if i like them or not now, need to pop outside and have a look.

Front aches were cut along the curv then plated to pull them some 3 inches.

Rears were a Drivers front arch on the pass rear and passengers front on the drivers rear keeps the line of the arches pretty much spot on and gets em out 3 inches as well.


Happy to answer any other questions

First off i would like to say you are mad, but in a good way.  :rolleye:
Have you any pics of your interior, and who did you find to do the the re-trim on the interior.
Also i know its a bit of a chew could you please list all your mods on the car.  :drinking:

Colour - not a fan but ETTO.
flared arches - not my cuppa tea but they're really nicely done
rims -  :sick: but again, ETTO
grille/bonnet - well have a look at my sig
interior - frikkin lush

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
