Scirocco Central

2011 Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0TDI R-line

Bought this car from an owner that I think did some great work to the car before I got it. I've different VW and Audis the last 15 years, and I am glad I ended up on a Scirocco this time. I just love this car in every way. Even though the car looks good from the previous owner, I want to put my own personal touch to the car. So I have a lot of mods planned. I will post them as I go along.

Specs:

• 2.0 TDI 140hp
• Indium Grey
• GT package
• DCC

The previous owner did these mods:

• KW coilovers with DCC support
• Xenon in all lights on the front
• Tinted windows in the doors
• Door handles from the R
• Lamin-X tint on headlights and foglights
• Tinted turnsignals in bumper and mirrors
• Tinted rear reflectors
• R roof spoiler
• 20" Advanti rims
• Rear R-bumper with Golf 6 GTI exhaust

This is how the car looked the day I bought it:












... I have several plans, stay tuned

Welcome aboard!

That's a nice looking 'rocco! Liking the wheels a lot - what's the specs of them?

Looking good, interested to see what further mods you add

that car is absolutely stunning

Mod 1

The previous owner had the original taillights tinted. I bougth a pair of new LED tails and fitted them instead

New lights:

Not much tyre on those wheels

Where you get the tail lights from?

Mod 2

The car had LED bulbs in the originale license plate lights... I wanted to swap the whole assemply for a complete LED unit.

Mod 3

The car didn't come with cruise control, so that had to be retrofitted. Inspired by this thread i went to the local dealer and bought a new stalk. A local scrapyard had a 2012 VW Touran that was totaled after a crash. Looking inside the car I saw it had cruise control, so I checked the slip ring controller part number, and it was the H-version. I bought it of the scrapyard. The retrofit took about 20 minutes and the cruise control works perfectly, also in the MFD.

Mod 4

The car came with RCD510... Wanted the RNS510. Got a hold of a brand new unit, LED version H (HW: 61). The retrofit took only minutes and coded the unit using VCDS 11.11. Activated "Navigation" under "CAN Gateway" and also got the MFD working with it. Love the new RNS510 :=)







Also activated "Video in Motion" by software hack, not hardware. Works like a dream:

Mod 5

The previous owner fitted 35w Xenon to the fog lights. I coded with VCDS so that the fog lights works as DRL, and only them. And since I am a "LED whore" I swapped the Xenon kit for some high output LEDs instead. Nicer color, a bit brighter and lasts a whole lot longer.

Xenon BEFORE fitting LEDs:


New high output LEDs:


Fitted resistors so I don't get the "bulb out" warning:


Xenon vs. LED (LEDs on the right):


My daughter watched and made sure I did everything correctly:

Mod 6

Found a key-thing on eBay... What a great mod for a great German car

Advanti Raptor

Amazing colour! Fits perfectly to the R-Line Exterieur.

Omg that is gorgeous! I wannit!

When you swapped the RCD for the RNS, was there already a loom/wiring for the navigation antenna? As I was under the impression that the sharkfin fitted to models with the RCD was just a dummy?

pics and details of front seats please

Nice looking motor that...but blimey, is that rubber bands on those wheels. Wouldn't fancy the chances of tgem lasting too long on bad roads...
