Dan's Garage - 2012 VW Scirocco R - Grey
This weekend saw me look after the first in a pair of new VW Scirocco R's. The second (white) will be in a couple of weeks time.
This one was in for a minor correction and sealant. The car had less than 1600kms on the clock and there were some minor issues from the pre-delivery detail that needed rectifying . These included some swirls and scratches that were missed. Some light buffer trails in the passenger side rear quarter. Plus a mess of polish residue on the plastics and lodged ion panel gaps etc.
I should also note that the owner has wasted no time in visiting APR for a stage two tune, as has his friend with the white Scirocco. These are some serious machines. :2thumb:
Residual polish from the pre-delivery detail still on panels and caught in panel gaps

Gloss black highlights. Looks awesome but will be a challenge to keep this way.
