Volkswagen Scirocco Mk3

[voyageur]

Hello guys,

after two evenings of modifying the new Volkswagen Scirocco I'm finished with it. If you think about purchasing one:
do not buy the white one! The panel lines around the hood are huge gaps!

Modifications:

- Interieur improved with flocking and partially painted flat blue.
- Roofliner painted flat black.
- 19" BBS LeMans from ScaleProduction with Pegasus tires.
- PE brakes, also from ScaleProduction, with calipers from the parts box.
- Exhaust tip from a Tamiya 996 GT3.
- All lights have been reworked and improved.























It was quite fun to work on that little gem for two evenings. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

PS: In some pics it may seem that the rear wheels have positive camber. This is due to the lighting, they actually have about 1° negative camber.

Who makes this diecast? Also the wheels look good on it. Im still mad we won't see the scirocco here in the states.

Is that a Welly model?

Looks great. Shameful VW doesn't import the Scirocco to the US...nor Welly, for that matter

Actually, Volkswagen has announced that we will be getting the Scirocco! Most likely for the 2012 model year. I'm very excited about this but I have a feeling that it will end up being priced higher then a GTI. I'm guessing in between a GTI and the R32 Golf.

Oh my goodness , I really love what you're doing when transforming the diecast.
The rims suit it perfectly and the ride height is just right.

You've got that sober european touch that I appreciate on tuned cars, not too much, not too flashy, just the right parts at the right place.

even though in the European market, the 197bhp Scirocco is cheaper than the 197bhp GTi?

I'm not sure, in just speculating. I could see them putting a premium on it just cause its the "Scirocco" but I really hope it would be priced cheaper....better chances of me getting one then.

Looks really nice, the change in wheels help it a lot

Hello,

Seb and me bought each an Scirocco from Welly. We took the same colour, but different rims / wheels.

Here´s my result...

First, I thought about reworking the original rims...








But at least I took the BBS from SCALEPRODUCTION...
