  1. what short/stubby aerials do people opt for?
  2. Thought about getting these wheels back on that car (its mine pictured in your post) but up close theyre not as nice as i hoped - wasnt keen on the soft rounded edges on the spokes.
  3. metallic black is an awesome colour - the same colour as my old g60 - i really miss it! has it always been met black? i always thought it was midnight blue!
  4. yeah that can happen - same happened with my g60 - off the road for 10 months! good that its back! :) when you 1.8T'ing it?

    JMC's G60

    Congratulations mate! Great stuff. Very much looking forward to seeing it in full force this week now :)
  6. mk4's are generally priced around 8-10k - for a good example. still think thats very reasonable for the car you get. will likely be the next car i own
  7. sorry to hear about the charger mate. thats a real pain in the ass. i remember when i had my old g60 - as much as i liked the g60 engine i was never happy about the charger unit itself - always on my mind that it would be best gone. after reading loads i really settled on the 1.8t being the best move. not a cheap replacment for a 500 charger, but a much much better replacement. good luck with sorting it out...
  8. from reading the threads on the diavia system - i actually dont think it would be too hard to fit. you'd need to be prepared to buy a few new parts like condenser and drier though. Just the compressor would be 10+ years old now. And agree with Zak - the amount of times I used the air con in my gf's car - I'd def make use of it. Have been starting to look into fitting the later climate control system from a passat.
  9. alternatively just get a mk4 r32..
  10. That will be the same with any nice car though - be it a new one or an old one tarted up. A second workhorse is def useful but i certainly wouldnt use much money on it. i bought a POS car for 280 two years back for that - an estate with loads of room - didnt spend a penny on it for a year then scrapped for 40 quid. i'd suggest if you have the physical space for two cars then consider that route - allowing the C to continue its course and stay good. And for goodness sakes - dont put any eyesore manifolds on - best to get rid...
  11. it really depends what you use/need the corrado for - a play car or a daily workhorse? let me know if/when your manifold is for sale :)

    Carbon Grill

    the day i start seeing people put that kind of tat on corrado's is an early warning to sell!
  13. looking good! will catch up in a few weeks mate - got another week of the heat :)

    Air con

    anybody using the forum nowadays fitted the same climatronic system as described above? install for the diavia system looks straight forward with some effort as andy brookes described viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24242 but interested in the later (and potentially better) system.
  15. have people read the latest thread on aircon setups? viewtopic.php?f=19&t=75287 - fitting climatronic control from a passat. considering something along this line myself after becoming used to aircon in my gf's car.
  16. think youre missing the best road down to monaco - via the routes des alpes - from geneva to menton. very famous route that goes over all the major french alpine passes and mountain villages/resorts. i'd skip out paris/marseille/hours and hours of highway and head for the mountain roads - thats where the fun driving will be...
  17. cant comment on the 268s but the 263s are excellent - improved the drive of my VR considerably. plus will suit you better long term if going turbo.

    will go for one of the spoiler switches in the new year mate - but std green. think moving to red would be too hard with the center console. will pop over in the new year - good to see you the other day. have a good break
  19. That pic above is easily the best of the bunch
  20. I think only electric heated recaros in excellent condition should fetch the 700-800 mark - but as said above - you'd rightly expect exceptional quality to warrant paying that price. Will be putting a fully restitched dark charcoal gray leather interior up for sale after xmas... :)
  21. what made you change to the speedlines?
  22. interesting! is your friend making these as kits now?
