Old Corrado meets New Scirocco
« on: 02 September 2008, 18:33 »
I popped into my local VW Dealer on my home to pick up a new thermostat and seal and saw a New Scirocco parked up outside and a space next to it. I couldn't resist as it was even the same colour as my (dirty!) Rado.









Gutted that for the first time in ages I'd not taken my DSLR to work so only crappy phone pics I'm afraid!

that rado needs rims.

is it just me or does that rocco look really fat? i've seen a red one at my local vw and it doesn't look half as bad.

They're no that bad! I admit they're not the best but they've grown on me enough not to rush into swapping them for something else for the sake of it and wait until I find some that I really want and can afford.

Needs saying again - they look lots better in the flesh!

Saw a Rocco at E38 and tbh they do look a hell of a lot better in the flesh this one was bright white and looked cool as for a bog standard car.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

G60's too common, Sebrings it had them as standard so no thanks and same for the estos. Besides they're all 15's and they look lost in the Rado arches unless it's decked and and I'm not slamming this car as I don't want to compromise the superb handling for the sake of looking a bit cooler. It's all ready dropped 40mm and has upradated shocks and the ride is spot on. Not to hard but with little body roll. To keep that and go lower I'd nee coilovers that would cost about 1/2 what I paid for the car itself. Money I don't have.
