Mk1 Scirocco- light Blue

Looks good Glenn. I know already that there will be a few jealous bodies on this forum!

it is a chrome [ or stainless ] covering that clips
over the gutter. This may be a different gutter to yours.

Glenn.

Early Scirocco uses aluminium extrusion, very easy to bend out of shape, has a tiny slot in the rain gutter at each end for a dimple in the ali to clip into.

Later versions use the clear plastic coated foil stuff, which with sun action goes brittle and yelows, usually falls apart trying to remove it. Held on with a black mastic stuff.

Where will you put the rear number plate??

Shame I cant get all the headlights to work.

this is the aluminium gutter trim................

More gutter trim


this one has been drilled at the ends where dimple was.
Its sitting up a little bit due to paint.

the Sirocco sign on the rear needs the original number plate lights fitted in
to give it that " Lairy night time " look.
I was wondering if white neon strips would illuminate it better. Will try the lights first.
Maybe a switch to flickering light could be fun - or good for braking.

Use it for brake lights, I reckon that would be killer

[Jarred]

looking mighty fine Glenn. Well done.

[Hydro]

Thanks, I am making some headway now.
Went through all the fuses replacing them and or cleaning ends.
Most things work now.......eexcepttt....rear washer, demister, and the right blinker is a bit dull. [funny that it works better on the Trouble light switch...]
Might try to bleed the brakes tomorrow - see if my son can spare 5 mins

[Hydro]

do I need working Hatch " struts "....[ the pressurized stuts that support the Rear Hatch ]
to get it registered..?????

[Jarred]

I doubt it, it doesn't affect the safety of the vehicle at all, so i doubt you'd need it for RWC. There's nothing on my old RWC's that would indicate the need for this.

having said that, you'd kick yourself if it came down and bopped you on the head one day.
