Scirocco r mods

[Rev 555]

I understand Ian

Black wheels look great if the design is simple and there's enough space between the spokes to show the brakes.

So a black wheel with 10 single spokes.. forged.. would look hot.. for example..

Tallies in black don't do it for me.. I love my tallies in the graphite that I have, but I wanted something different again.. It really never ends.

Its going to look awesome on your car. Can't wait to see them on Bec. Now why haven't they left the state yet???

Yay! I think they will look awesome too!
As to why they haven't left the state.. Not blaming anyone.. haha.. just having a good giggle about it all..
Looking forward to seeing them on... Eventually..

So what have you got planned, or is it a surprise? Or maybe I missed something further back in the thread...............

Probably some Advan racing rs?

Should have them next week and the tyres should arrive shortly after.. excited!

Oh just some new wheels for now Ian..

Probably some Advan racing rs?

Nope, I don't think they're forged anyway..

[Bain]

How about a hint?

Black, 10 spoke, forged..

What country of origin?

[Mac135]

So It wasn't something I've missed and it sounds like a secret.....

So how long are we all to wait for the reveal?

Has anyone done the OEM plate bracket delete yet?

OEM plate delete with before and after shots. Worked with Philip from LAKIN plates who helped me to get the measurements right to ensure correct fit on the Scirocco. This is the first one he has done with the NSW skinny plates.

LAKIN Custom Plate Brackets

He is a top bloke and was extremely helpful. Quality is first class.

That looks fantastic. And +1 for Philip - he worked with me on a bracket for my GTI, and I couldn't be happier with the result.

I know its been said before, but why not just get the Euro plates. Covers up the holder and IMO look better than the larkin plate holder which still extends beyond the number plate*.

Because the only Euro plate suitable in NSW is non custom white (any personal choice for letters/numbers = slimline Euro plate same dimensions as the premium plate shown here).

[BLAKROC]

Pulled the trigger and ordered some H&R sport springs for around $250 landed from Europe after deliberating on KW DDC coilovers for too long.. can't justify 2.5-3.5k on handling/lows.. yet!

The Golf R guys seems pretty happy with them, also had the same type on my old polo..

Next - tune.

Lol I love your disclaimer. Yes I agree its not perfect but its better then before. Personally I dont like the Euro plates so this was the next best option for now. When I repaint the front bumper further down the track I will get the holes plugged in properly.

Has anyone done the OEM plate bracket delete yet?

The day we picked up our R and got it home the first thing i did was removed that bulky and horrible looking Oem bracket.

After doing removing it the last thing i wanted to do was to put on another bracket (not to mention the prices for the lakin brackets that i received was ridiculous) I wanted mine to sit flush and smooth so i shaped mine to the bumper.

Anyway here's mine........
