It is with mixed emotions that I have to announce that my Scirocco is sold...
The new owner will hopefully be taking up reins in regards to making this car the fastest 1.4TSI in the world! He certainly has a fantastic base for modification as it is!!!
As of today, I have 19 days left with the Scirocco. This time will mostly be spent making the car look better than brand new!
Ironically, the day I sell it, I will have had the car for exactly 1 year to the day!
I will certainly be floating around the two forums so any questions about the 1.4TSI, drop me a PM.
Anyways i'm off to go enjoy the car for the next couple of weeks.

Right so I'm looking to get rid of the 1.4TSI Scirocco...
It is rather sad but I am looking to trade up to something with a little more scope for power modification.
I have nearly hit the upper limit for the 1.4TSI at 220bhp. There is probably another 20-30bhp to get out of it, but that is it!
I'm gonna be completely honest and frank - this is the finest and fastest example of a Scirocco with the 1.4TSI engine in the UK.
The spec list is MONSTEROUS, to an extent that it is better equipped than a majority of 2.0 GT cars...
Anyways I suppose I better put a spec list and some pics up:

Things that will be definatley done prior to selling the car:
All stonechips on bonnet and front bumper removed
Full detailing service to be carried out, including paint correction. This will make the car look better than brand new!
Complete refurbishment and re-powder coating of the alloys. I'll be going gloss black again unlessa buyer specifys a specific colour.

Zircotec ceramic coating to exhaust manifold, turbocharger and downpipe - approx. £1000

Whiteline bump steer correction and anti-lift kit - approx. £300
Any of these extra modifications may or may not be fitted and if a serious buyer (i.e. someone with a deposit) got on board with me now, we could discuss what to have fitted based on what it is they want from the car.
(Thanks to my mate Dallan Tan for taking the artsy pics...
)Right so to the crux of the matter - how much?
Just configured it up on VW.co.uk... The list price of this same car today is £27,000.
Total cost of modification to date is about £5500.
The car owes me £28000. Taking into account 1 years depreciation and 11,000 miles of usage, I have come to a figure of £22,000.
The car would be available to collected as of 1st June 2010.
I will be very sad to sell my baby... She is my pride and joy! However i'll be 21 next January and insurance will loosen right off and allow me something with quite a bit more power and a lot more scope for modification. PM me if you fancy a chat about it. I'm always happy to talk about the 1.4TSI and Scirocco's!
Cheers,
Patrick
