DA ROK - Baxters TSI Single Cab

[BaxMk1]

Finally managed to pick up my new baby from Austral last friday! So far so good!!

Black TSI300 Manual Trendline 2wd

Factory fitted options:
-Style pack
-Colour coded bumpers
-Rear Step
-Rear park sensors
-Bluetooth
-Cruise
-Fog lights
-RCD310
-4 speaker Stereo

AfterMarket:
-RCD510
-Rhyno Liner

Thats it as of today.






Next mods will be getting the dash fascia wrapped in a tungsten brushed steel (similar to Mk7 fascias), some Highline A/C vents for the stainless rings. get the tail lights tinted just slightly as the stand out so much, get one muffler cut out as it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
looking at lowering it next couple of weeks, and some wheels. Will be getting lowered all round in the next week or so

I bought 19" te37 replicas today, put them on to find nothing but i hate them http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...s/facepalm.gif too small and dont look agressive enough, i have other wheel plans in mind which will go ahead when i sell the te37's






Please excuse horrible phone pics and poor editing as im new to this site and not usually a forum user!

Good to see some Brissy based TSI Amarok's.
Hope we can get you out to some of our events.

And i agree, those wheels look tiny!

Thanks Team_V, Yeah would be well keen to come out to some events. Im new to this site and have no idea what goes on in the community so would definitely be keen to get out and about!! especially when it gets some APR lovin'

These have MASSIVE guards. make 19's look like 16s haha

I think it looks worse than it is due to lack of tyres, however they're certainly a big set of guards to fill!!!

Looking forward to see how this one progresses

Well the events section is here, we usually have 2 meet-ups per month.

I get the same thing with the wheel size on the Tiguan.
19's look small on it so i can't imagine how big you have to go on teh Amarok.
Hit up Sharkie as he is also based in Brissy and is going all out with his.

Welcome Bax! Nice Rok you have there, I love the TSI so far

RE the wheels, they look tiny without tyres, which by Rok nature is fairly large and would look better with tyres fitted IMO.

Given the size of the Rok, I prefer chunky looking rims as thin spokes and big Rok bodies don't gel for me.

Let me know if I can help with anything and if you want more power, just wait a month or 2 for the tunes to come out

PS, I'd also recommend a RNS510 to replace the RCD510, they are that good IMO.

Loving that single cab, if you wan't to see mine it's black with 20's to give you an idea, kinda looks like a tonka toy sometimes. That liner looks very very nice. I would definitely recommend factory head units. I have the mongoose QVW, which was really cheap but really slow!
There is a silver Rok near me with those 19's you have, it looks nice.

Thanks sharkie! Will be opting for some 20" bbs lm reps I think!
Very interested in some performance mods!!!

Yea I work at vw so I'll just wait till a warranted item comes around :p

Cheers bombsquad! Just Sussed the photo of yours with the 20's. That's definitely a goer for me. What size tyres are you running? And are they 111v load rated??

To be honest i think the LM's will look just as small given they run a stepped lip.
My opinion is that thin spokes don't really work well with a ute that big, best to go for some X5/Range Rover style wheels.

Having said that, it is your car so feel free.
