New Member, First Post.. Advice Needed

Post by adamfearn7 »

Apologies if i've posted in the wrong area or anything. I'm a new member and this is my first post.

Purchased a Scirocco 2.0 GT TDI in flash red with ceramique upholstery...

I have a few mods in mind and would like some advice or to be pointed in the right direction.

1.) the first mod is the interior, i've got half cloth half leather ceramique upholstery which is a risky colour but i liked it. My concern is how clean realistically will i keep it. Is it easy enough to change the seats, say to black leather from an R model. A quick ebay searched showed me i can pick up a set for around £1500, but then is it easy to fit? Will it fit my model?

2.) i'd like the calipers sprayed red, to match the car, i think its a subtle mod but it really stands out. Do i need any special heat proof paint? Can i do it myself or can you recommend anywhere? I'm based in Staffordshire if anyone knows anyone in the area

3.) a minor mod is that i'd like to change interior lights, ie footwell, vanity mirrors all to led. What bulb does it use and is it easy quick job?

Any help would be fantastic. Apologies again for probably posting in the wrong area..

1) R seats are same as normal. around £600. the recaro buckets are more. around £1800.
2) follow a DIY caliper spraying guide, they apply to all models.
3) there is a page on here somewhere which lists every bulb needed. pretty easy, have a search for scirocco interior bulbs
