Thank you sir! A video will follow once I receive the GoPro camera I ordered. Really enjoying the car at the moment and it just had its first service with 14000km on the clock.

Got my APR tune (http://www.goapr.com) updated to the latest version this afternoon, and the difference is quite noticeable indeed. I can actually feel a more consistent power/torque distribution across the power band. Driving it using the pedal shifters is now an absolutely delight - both sensory and aural.

OP, just so you are aware, all of your pics in this thread are being displayed upside down, may want to remedy that. Nice car.

Cheers for the feedback guys. Always helps to know that the car is looking tasteful. The Scirocco R might not be the only daily much longer due the impending birth of our first new born son.

Looking at a BMW M135i or Audi S4 to complement this car.

I will post pics up once the stuff I ordered from Germany (for the Scirocco) arrives and is installed. smile


Ps: The pics show up normally on my Safari browser. Hmm..strange.

Cheers guys for the kind words.

I purchased the GErman flag from Euro-Badgz and cut it in half to attach it to the grill.

First part arrived from Germany today. Very pleased with the workmanship considering that it was a 1 month wait. smile
