I also managed to nick blag one of the first batch of poster brochures for the launch night :wink:

Haha I also managed to re-locate 3 of these, they have the proper brochures now in Listers so I re-located one of those too! :cool:

Don't know if it's been posted yet, but you can configure your own on the VW site now too.

Well, I've been down to the local dealers and they have a glorious RED Scirocco in the showroom. It looks verrry nice, although I agree that the arse end looks a bit heavy.Red and tan leather.....mmmmmmm

Not tempted RR?

....The standard Salsa Red looks verrry dull!



But Firespark is the best red : -




That bulbous bum looks better in that colour imo.

No, not tempted - The 3-door GTI offers much more, let alone a 5-door. The Scirocco is neither one thing nor the other for my needs.

Great write up & pics Robin,

I’m still not convinced yet with the styling. However the Mk5 took over 4-years to grow on me.

Work is manic at the mo, so no spare time to surf the forums. Be back up to speed soon.

ED starting to loosen up now, handles really well at high speed on my private runway, needs a clean though.

Keep smiling Hotrod :smiley:

It does look lush in that Firespark Red - those wheels also suit it nicely and the gap between wheel/arch doesn't look that bad (in those pics).
But I have to think practically now as we're expecting our first munchkin next April!  :grin:
Anybody want to buy a 360? :sad:

They had one in the showroom at the local dealer. Love the front end  :drool:





Big gap between wheel and wheel arch though.
