The 75-77 models had the flat front turn lens and steel bumpers. The 
did have a Special Edition in 77 and it had checkerboard sport seats 
and some other things I can't remember. In 78 the Scirocco's came 
with wrap around turn signals as well as plastic bumpers (well 
covers) and the first dash with out wood grain or silver inserts. The 
S model or maybe it was called Sidewinder got the special dash as 
well as a front spoiler, sport seats, oil pan shield, and other trim 
stuff and fancy stripes. Also had the back hatch area around the 
window all black (decal). As far as performance there was no 
difference as they even went down in size to a 1.5 liter with a cast 
crankshaft. Then in 79 they went back to a 1.6 with a forged crank.
I guess I should write a FAQ on the early Scirocco's as this is one 
area I remember quite a bit on. Well I probably forgot a few things 
Oh just remembered the 78 got the combination rear/front wiper switch 
as the 75-77 had a separate switch on the dash.(underside).
Sorry as this stuff brought back memories.
