Exotic Mods VW Scirocco by Caractere – First in the country
December 23, 2009
Ever seen a Scirocco in the flesh yet? Now picture a dressed-up version in white, on 20′s fresh from the paint oven. It’s just obscene that some people get to order their cars before trying, and when finally here, is then sent to a shop for an extensive makeover. Not easy being first.
Exotic Mods undertook the project. We haven’t experienced the Scirocco prior to this and ironically, were expecting one from VW Malaysia just 2 days after this one. Honestly, who’d be as interested in the stock one after checking this one out? plus the suspension has been fiddled with, even the power has been upped, this is no ordinary Scirocco. We had a short test drive in this one instead.
Exotic Mods needs no introduction. They are the trailblazers of the Euro car scene here in Malaysia (in case you’re wondering [title]- first in which country?). Producing modified masterpieces is one thing, Engaging clients such as the owner of the said Scirocco is a whole other story. With more done-up Euros, namely Porsches, BMWs and Mercs passing through the hands of Shedden EE (owner), They have enough portfolio to publish a monthy eurozine.
Before we get to the climax of this feature, i’ll let you in on a little about driving it, which most VW aficionados could already visualize. The above was the Scirocco we got. Tangy lambo green does make up for the lack of “extras”. The Scirocco drives much like a Golf. Being larger and longer, there’s a certain “sporty executive” feeling about it. I’ll let Keshy furnish you with the rest of the Scirocco Test Drive which will be published soon.
Coming back to the feature, Caractere supplied the aesthetics. Most of it actually and here’s the list:
- Caractere front bumper add-on
- Caractere front grille
- Caractere side skirts
- Caractere roof spoiler – sports
- Caractere rear add-on
- Caractere Twin Exhaust
- Brembo GT kit Big Brakes – front
- H&R sport springs
- H&R anti-rollbars
- Exotic Mods Stage 2 remap
- Prius 6000K HID Conversion Kit for Fog Lights
- Blesk LED Parking Lights
- Blesk LED License Plate Lights
- Blesk LED Side Mirror Flood Lights
Now that’s a Cutting-edge VW.
Teens are so yesterday. 20s are the way to go.
Bespoke Caractere twin exhaust.
We thank Shedden for the heads-up on the Scirocco Project. If you own an Euro, typically one that’s 2000 and up, give Exotic Mods a visit. Chances are, they’d have something you need.

I love the Scirocco. Theres something about it that keeps everyone looking, car enthusiast or not. Ive pointed it out several times and people love it.
Just hope it doesnt become too common, or else
nice car.
that is one hot car. too bad its not red in colour
This white Rocco from Kota Damansara?
looks like any other civic from the rear…
nothing special
haute hatch!
‘Teens are so yesterday. 20s are the way to go.’ (tell that to R Kelly).
yeah… if u’re in japan. hell the roads here are riddled with so many potholes, 20s are just impractical.
nonetheless, i agree, they’re the perfect size for this ride.
it is definitely one hell of a sight
it’s definitely got some character
anyone know where i can see this car in person?
sat on this ride yesterday. nice exos note. high torque. nice sounds system. steady cornering. eye-catching car. attracts so much of attention on the road. few thumbs up shown from the street !!!
Is this car in vw showroom?
