Cheers Andy. Mirror look pretty good what's next on your list? Unlike Bec, Bain or Con i don't see any 'to br fitted' items in your signature

I won't have any as of tomorrow either

Nothing for the moment Ian... there are a couple of performance based items I am keeping an eye on but for now...this is it.
I am still pondering what to do on my wheels... and again there are a couple of options but I am still undecided... it is a long term project so there is plenty of time to do whatever I want to do...and to keep it just a little different to the rest.

Enjoy the UK...

It is still going to be a rare sight - VW won't sell that many in a year. If i read the VFACTS data correctly only 15,000 or so coupes were are sold last year, though might be more this year with the toyota 86/BRZ. If VW sell 1,000 R's they will be doing well.

Dare i say more exclusive still in indium

This is true... Indium and Reflex Roc's will be rarer, I believe..

More will be revealed in a couple of weeks.. hopefully

Ill have to edit mine - no more purchases for me. I just spent 12k on a motorbike and gear for it.

Just had my Roc APR'd by Dean at Volkspower, with the latest map. Very impressive results after a few 'learning' k's on the clock. My car has only done 650km, so still taking it easy, but the mid-range is very strong. Once run-in, I really think the real-world performance won't be too far off my friend's 997 GT3. It's certainly far quicker than any boof-head, standard Aussie V8 I've driven, and would also sort out a standard Focus RS.

Intake, TBE, KWs and some new ARBs for the next round.

It's a great thing, the Roc - I'm very impressed with it so far (excluding the axle-tramp and creaking tailgate!). It does need a proper diff, but could be worse

I'll stick it on the dyno at work once there's a few thousand k's on the dial. I suspect it won't be far off 200kW ATW. Once it hits 250 ATW, I'll leave it alone!

Thanks ....

I'll see how many Roc's I can see in the wilds of East Anglia. Thinking of visit Lotus given i'm in that part of the world.

I was hoping to time this trip with GTI international http://www.gtiinternational.co.uk.but can't manage to do it and the next trip will fall into mid July. I month either on both counts. Aaarrggh!!

So i'm staring to think about some mods for the Roc.

For the moment i'm happy with the performance but would like to lower the ride height a little, nothing too radical and replace the standard wheels.

Have been looking at lots of wheels on the net. I think the talle's are visually a bit heavy but think with the indium i need to stick to a predominantly silver wheel. As much as i like the route Con has gone down, the bronze doesn't work with grey. Nor in my opinion does the charcoal (grey on grey) that Bec has had done to her Talle's. I think silver works with the indium as I'm not into black wheeks full stop.

Any way have seen these:

Yes they are standard VW wheels but they look good, will be a bit different and fit the car. A bit more agressive than the standard I think.

Any opinions? I'm talking here about the look, not dynamics or reducing sprung weight etc.

Also keen to hear any thoughts on which springs to install. ATM I'm thinking VWR or H and R. The purpose is to remove the slightly on stils look But want to maintain the use of ACC so not thinking of spending the kind of money required to fit the KW adaptive set up.

Again thoughts and opinions welcome

There's an indium grey Roc in Sydney rocking black rims. They look like ADVs (or VMRs). It looks insanely good Ian. Just my two cents. Grey and black goes. Alternatively, if you wanted something along the lines of mine, a copper colour would go. Have a look on vwgolfnet. There's an Audi with HREs in copper in the picture thread. I think it looks amazing.

Those rims in the link are nice. Much better than the tallas.

My feedback on springs: go all out and do coilovers. My back is starting to hurt with my H&Rs haha. Not kidding. It's a rough ride. I can't use Sports mode. It's too rough. Maybe others don't mind as much but I do. Stock shocks also aren't going to last forever with a reduced ride height. Expect to look at changing them after 30k or so.

I wish I had done coils from the start.

I agree with Con I think Black wheels look great on a grey car. My original colour on order was an Indium Grey and was considering Black or an anodised red for my wheels I like to mix things up) but a white car came up first. Silver still works though! It really comes down to personal taste.

Yeah I love that pic. Have seen it before. Looks awesome. Pure sex!
