Mk2 Scirocco 16v Antenna – Which are proper?

We’ve been asked a few times, “Which antenna is the the proper Scirocco 16v Antenna for my Mk2?” Well the answer is here. PN: 357 035 503 A / 357035503A. Fuba was the original OES manufacture for Volkswagen of these antennas.

Even though they look similar, antennas for Mk3 and up have a slightly different angle than a Mk2 Scirocco antenna. For example, this photo shows the Mk2 Scirocco are 135º-140 / 45-40º. Als Mk2 GTI & Jetta GLI are the same. Most  later VWs are 120º/ 60º depending on what side you are measuring.

Make sure you get the correct 16v Antennas for your Mk2. They look a little funny if the wrong one is on the roof. Click here to order the correct one for your Mk2.

Finding the Right Antenna for Your Scirocco 16v:

Enhancing Style and Function

The antenna on your Scirocco 16v isn’t just a functional component; it’s also an aesthetic element that contributes to the car’s overall look. Selecting the correct antenna is crucial for both optimal radio reception and maintaining the car’s classic lines.

Why the Right Antenna Matters:

  • Optimal Radio Reception: A properly functioning antenna ensures clear and consistent radio signal reception, enhancing your driving experience with uninterrupted music and news.
  • Maintaining Authenticity: Using the correct antenna style preserves the car’s original aesthetic and enhances its overall value. The wrong antenna can detract from the Scirocco 16v’s iconic design.
  • Improved Appearance: The antenna plays a subtle but important role in the car’s overall appearance. The correct antenna height and style complement the Scirocco’s sleek lines, creating a more balanced and visually appealing look.

Finding the Correct Antenna:

  • Research Original Equipment: Investigate the type of antenna that was originally installed on your specific year and model of Scirocco 16v. This will provide valuable information about the correct size, style, and mounting location.
  • Consider Antenna Style:
    • Original Style: Stick with the original style of antenna for a truly authentic look. This often involves a shorter, more subtle antenna that blends seamlessly with the car’s roofline.
    • Aftermarket Options: Explore aftermarket options that offer improved reception or a slightly different aesthetic. However, ensure that any aftermarket antenna maintains the car’s overall style and proportions.
  • Check Antenna Angle: The angle of the antenna is crucial for optimal reception. Refer to your owner’s manual or consult with a knowledgeable mechanic to determine the correct antenna angle for your specific model.

Key Considerations:

  • Antenna Height: Avoid excessively tall antennas that can disrupt the car’s aerodynamic profile and potentially interfere with car washes or garage clearances.
  • Material and Finish: Choose an antenna made from durable materials such as stainless steel or chrome to resist corrosion and maintain a polished appearance.
  • Professional Installation: For optimal performance and a professional finish, consider having the antenna professionally installed by a qualified mechanic.

In conclusion, by carefully selecting the correct antenna for your Scirocco 16v. You can enhance both its functionality and its aesthetic appeal. Remember, the right antenna not only improves radio reception. It preserves the car’s classic lines and contributes to its overall value.

Reproduction Mk1 Scirocco Gauge Panel

This week, we made a reproduction Mk1 Scirocco gauge panel that is no longer in production. These were made at WCR North in the Seattle area. If we can not get parts, we want the next best thing, an original copy. With parts like this, attention to detail was critical before making the mold. We repaired some scratches on the aftermarket original Scirocco gauge panel. Then, we textured it exactly like the original part. After that, we casted the mold.

Considerable amount of time, R&D and detailed work is put into parts like this. The time it takes to make or find a minor part like this. Out goal is to replicate the and/or obtain the original look and finish of our builds.

FF Transmission Rebuild

We got the Scirocco S close ratio FF transmission back from the rebuilders last week. Here are a few photos. We had our VW transmission guy break it all apart and bring back the case. After that, we blasted it and powder coated it with a OEM cast silver finish. We also retained the OEM end cap and powder coated it the same bright green for a fresh and finished look. There are a few more items that need plated on the transmission, but overall it’s coming along.
