looks good, where are you getting the short shift kit from, and is it easy to fit.

Heya guys,mordred, the sills where a last minute addon! I think they look great!
joe, the shortshift kit is the VWR one and they are based in Blakelands, Milton Keynes. Not sure how much it costs as its a Christmas present! It can be fitted by any reasonable mechanic and it's gearbox end...

Hey Oli,

I think the quickshift is great! (although I never drove the car without it fitted!) My mum (I'm sounding very young here) did though and she said it makes a difference and feels much nicer. I dont think the throw is particularly short but definately a nice little feature.

I'm well impressed with the car. the 140 engine is enough for most, the satnav is bloody clever, diverting me around a closed road only as much as required and only lost about 5 mins in a 150 mile journey. Dynaudio is great, harddrive works well, panoramic roof looks class and the seats are soooo comfy!

Overall the Roc is a fantastic product whichever engine and options you go for. It stinks of build quality and feels great! 'sigh' .

very nice, almost the combo i went for but i wasn't brave enough to order truffle without seeing it in the flesh. I still haven't seen a truffle interior with my own two eyes!

Heya Candy,

The day I ordered mine, bout half an hour before, I saw one parked in the VW parking lot with white and truffle. SOLD!

It looks great in the flesh but I think it is hard to confirm in photos as it looks a different shade in everyone! So happy I chose it in the end!

I am not crazy about truffle but colours are a matter of taste. I think it pathetic VW only offer 2 leather colours also in my opinion VW leather is not good value for money. Far better to go to one of the aftermarket upholsterers who will do a better job with more colour choice for less money.

I consider myself 'told'.

Lol, I agree with the poor choice of colours Tallguy, but I love the truffle, so rich in the flesh!

Pleased your happy with it Ruben :yes:. You'd think VW would offer dark red and grey or cream as additional leather colours.

Yeah It's lovely, not getting to sit in it much at the moment as I only have a 3mile commute and dont want to fill its first few thousand with silly little journeys, especially when it's this cold!

Some more colour options would be great! get on it VW! :)
