Mk2 Scirocco Storm decals

Rear Storm and Volkswagen decal JPGs

If you need new rear decals making for your Storm, open the thumbnails below to view them at actual size then right click on the images and save them on your hard drive. Then put them on a disc and take to your friendly neighborhood sign writer. 

The Storm decal measures 355mm X 23mm. The VW decal is 205mm X 25mm.

Storm decal

Below shows the correct location on the rear panel. My car has the Original decals so they should be accurate. These are correct for a Cosmos blue car. On Havana brown, use a silver vinyl instead of black.

Mk2 Scirocco Cheetah

The body was painted in a white Pearl effect as were the Kamei X1 bodykit, mirrors and bumpers. Because it was a show vehicle, it naturally came highly specified with steel sunroof, electric windows and exterior mirrors. A four speaker system audio system came with an electric aerial and fader switch in the centre console. Other features were A/C, power steering, auto transmission and tinted glass.

The full leather interior was of a deep red colour. The steering wheel was also black leather trimmed. Even the sun visors had a leather/velour covering.

The Scirocco Cheetah is unique in that it has the later twin wiper body style with steel sliding sunroof yet retained the old boot floor with the full size spare carrier and small › Continue reading
