    If it's at the rear, just a thought but check your rear springs are intact and maybe the rubbers on your exhaust so it isn't moving Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

  3. Do you have a TPS genuine parts supplier near you. Owned by vw but cheaper than the dealership and normally get it next day. I've always had great help and service with these guys Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

  5. As a man with corrado front seats in his living room, I second that[emoji23] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  6. Unfortunately the project car hasn't moved in over a year apart from up and down the drive since it was fitted. Its not been driven to settle but has been on a while and moved nowhere. I have wondered if the wheels and tyre set up didn't help me in it looking dafter than anyone's. I'll get round to the fronts soon. Thanks for all your help Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

  9. REAR SUSPENSION UPDATE As much as I've wanted to keep the car totally standard, I can not live with the ridiculous look of the car on the new suspension. Finances are not good due to me already having paid out for these items last year so a lot of thought has gone into this. I decided to try some lowering springs and was looking at the eibach ones. Didn't fancy paying that price and noticed people have been using H&R ones. I had a look and found an Amazon bargain at £60 reduced from £215. Bought, delivered today and they're GREEN but the picture was black ( so much for me keeping am oem look) but I'm desperate and have fitted them. And surprisingly I like them. When the rain stops I'll put a picture of the car with them on , but for now a close up of the difference. Hopefully the car won't be embarrassed when it finally gets to go out, one day. But I appreciate everyone's help. [ATTACH]84001[/ATTACH][ATTACH]84002[/ATTACH][ATTACH]84003[/ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  10. [ATTACH]83997[/ATTACH] that's my rears and they're isn't much in the measurements... but mine looks so much worse Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

  12. So I've faffed even more with the rear suspension. Bolt eye to bottom cup = 315mm Top plate to top of cup with the compressed spring in = 295mm So all that sounds the same. But on the picture of my car it looks more ridiculous than any oe set up. I have wondered if the lower rubber that fits on top could be smaller to close the complete gap but I don't think that would be the right thing to do. So I understand more in why corrados need a shortened strut to help them sit looking better. I've considered a lowered spring but that has mixed reviews and I don't understand how that would work correctly when the piston is so long.....I picture the suspension could lift up and the spring come off its mounting(or perhaps that sounds extreme) So unfortunately unless someone comes up with a great suggestion, due to funds these have to go back on as the car need money elsewhere. Any thoughts greatly appreciated Cressa Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

  14. Assuming the 16v brakes aren't the same as the 280mm vr6 then I would say yes they should fit. If they are wrong send me them back Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  15. [ATTACH]83992[/ATTACH] SOLD Genuine vw splashshields. I purchased them last year for my vr6, gave them an extra coat of black hammerite prior to fitment, but they do NOT fit a Vr6. So getting them out the way now. Part no. 357615311A £20 posted for both Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  16. Have you tried doing the wiki repair on your mirror switch. Easy enough to do and got my mirrors working as it's a common fault Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  17. Crazily mine is the same Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  18. Got my car in the air at the moment so can't compare unfortunately. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  19. My rear bolt eye to bottom of the cup is actually shorter at 310?? Aghhhh Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  20. [ATTACH]83990[/ATTACH]That ridiculous too high. .. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  21. Thanks for those. I've only got the rears off at the moment. Gutted that in being an oe replacement it sits ridiculously high. I do know my spring is 345mm uncompressed and other quotes I've found have said that is what the late vr is !! Who's make are your struts? Sorry for all the questions Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  22. I'm just on the rears for now. Could you get me a measurement from the centre lower fixing eye to the bottom spring plate please. I want to see if these Monroe struts are longer. Something Is wrong with what I've bought. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  23. That's a proper man thing to have. I'm feeling good as I've got the old front seats from my Corrado in the living room. Result Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  24. Ha ha sorry mate i obviously mis read that. I'm thought you had 3 alloys not 3 sets. Isn't that classed as hoarding[emoji85] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
  25. Easypops how much are you after for the 3. Ideally I'm after some to refurbish so I'm slowly cheaply collecting them. And I don't need to have Tyres Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
