Andy's '92 Scirocco

[Andy_1.8Se]

Hi guys,

not been on here for a while.

I sold my AX GTi at the beginning of last month, thinking i didnt really need a car while been back at uni. . . i was wrong. its been doing my head in so ive been on the look out for a new car. came across this on sunday, and im picking it up tonight.

What you all think?

black 1.8i VW Scirocco, mint interior, new alloys (not really my cup of tea but i can live with them), loads of parts recently replaced, folder full of history, 10 months MOT, 9 months Tax, 2 small patches of surface rust and a small scratch.

all for the bargin price of £550.

i love the Scirocco and this is a good example of one shame about the wheels though like you said.

got any plans for mods like lowering?

Satin black for the wheels and coilovers would look cool.

I was also given the original Scala alloys, one of them needs some curbing taking out but the rest are fine, I was thinking of having them all powder coated either Black, white or graphite?
not too sure atm.

another little update

been thinkin about getting one of those eyebrows off ebay, but wasnt too keen on spending £20+ on a bit of plastic, so after a trip to B&Q and minus £3.50 for some black plastic angle i was home making my own.

turned out like this, pretty impressed, looks just like the ebay ones

(no i didnt fit it in the snow, i just took a pic while it was snowing)

and today,

went to Halfords to get a new headunit as my pre-historic one couldnt play a CD with skipping every 3 seconds cos of the ride with the coilovers on, however after arriving at Halfords my old (very old) ipod died while hooking it up to a headunit. i dont just mean, died = battery ran out, i mean died = put it in a box and bury it.

SO, i had a head unit in mind and now needed a new ipod (8gb) had a quick chat to one of the members of staff and had £10 knocked off the total price (better than paying full price i thought) so i ended up walking out of Halfords £228 lighter but with these

its all fitted now and looks great with the green black light, it only uses ipods or USB sticks so no more stacks of CD's getting scratched to death in my glove box. All there is in my glove box now is 2 cables, 1 for ipod, 1 for USB
the head unit is an Alpine iDA X300 if anyones interested
the ipod is just an 8GB Nano.
if the ipod hadnt died i'd have come out with a headunit and sub+amp combo.
