Scirocco Central

+ 1 - the subtle changes are spot on!

They made me like the new design.

Must admit that red r and the green look good

Does anyone now what the models will be GT R-line etc and what gets what?

The press release just mentioned the changes, but nothing about actual model line ups.

It only took a few days for the new polo to show up on the German VW site so I would think the scirocco info will be there by the weekend.

Only thing I like is the reverse camera

Looks okay. Still prefer the current model. Looks like they just stuck on the GTI MK6 Xenons.. not impressed! What happened to the MK7 Square Xenons??? What happened VW?
I was worried that my Scirocco will look dated. Now I can relax...! WHEW! And don't forget the ugly honeycomb!

I am so so so disappointed with everything except the LED tail lights. not worth a damn penny for an upgrade. GOLF 7 R is much much better now

at least you can get 19" cadiz alloys on the R in the UK by the sounds of it unlike the Golf R, all be it the Pretorias look superb on mk7

I like the colour pics luisguedes posted, especially the rising blue (as per my current car) they look better than the silver grey car in the official pictures, which is so dull. I hate the honeycomb grille, I think the current one looks so much better, and the gauges on top of the new dash look like tacky aftermarket rubbish.

I would have to wait and see what the new specs are before I'd think of upgrading though.

As i see it.. i'm happy with my GTS only the new R rear looks good..

I have 2011 1.4tsi 160 dsg with glass roof and 18 interlagos.
I like my car looks than R model because of the slimmer body.

I hate the front bumpers of the facelifted models.
I like ONLY the front lights and the rear bumper of R.
I hope these parts fit my rocco.

Attention, the reverse camera it's not on the boot logo. It's on the same place as before, above the license plate.

Forget the front fog lights, will not fit. For the rear bumper, you'll need the new boot and the new tail lights. They are all compatible with the old one.


Made new pictures for the new headlights. They look AWESOME

What about the new dashboard? Will it fit in the old one?

I'm not sure. But if it does, it's not easy.
I believe, that's the same thing that happened with the transition from the red to the white.

Even if you swap the lights on the front, surely some difficulties will apply with regards to the indicators which are currently in the headlamps and the new ones are below?

Some useful changes, they haven't ruined it too much and the new range of more efficient engines is good id defiantly buy another and upgrade my 1.4 122tsi for a more powerful 2.0. some time in the future. Be interesting to see a revised model in the flesh especially in some of the new colours .

Would be interested. But decided on an A5 / S5 when I come to buy.

Unless, at a push, they whack the high end US powerplant into the Kia Optima. Would like to test that then.

Nop. They are exactly the same

Ordered a new 1.4 TSI on the 08/02/14 and now this news crops up of a facelift model due in mid August . Got no build date yet for the model I ordered and am wondering if it would be possible to cancel and wait for the new version. Dealer had no idea there was a new version coming out until I informed him about it.
