  1. Awesome job you're doing there mate, the paint looks spot on. Want to pick your brains a bit though, you mentioned getting some 5 stud G60 hubs to fit your 301's, what are they ?? Are you talking VR hubs or that Bahn Brenner hub conversion business. I'm gonna be fitting some 301's when i can find some, and i'm having a respray in a cpuple of weeks too so its good to get some inspiration from yours, love it !!
  2. I might just do that, i can't get red tint in a can over here so i'd have to get a body shop to do them though. I've ordered some to see what they're like for myself as they wern't that expensive.
  3. As above, wondered if they're any good, as my Savage Sprayed ones have faded back to orange ....... http://www.empiregfx.com/shop/product.p ... 289&page=1 Heres how they look with the square Reverse light cut-outs
  4. Yeah i'm getting confusious. In regards to making it wide track your offset will be different. Not sure that with those parts listed that the rear would be different though ?? Those pics in the link that i posted make it look easy, obviously worked for him ! Bahn Brenner do a 5 stud conversion kit for G60's too.
  5. I'm planning on doing mine too, i was going by this thread which made it look easy ........ viewtopic.php?p=657169#657169 I was going to get new rotors and bearings at the same time
  6. That is mint, i've always fancied one too, not sure about the colour myself but yeah i'd have it. Were the first ones '88 or '89 ??
  7. Hi Dinkus :salute: , long time indeed, are you still a man of double silver Corrado's !?? Did you get one resprayed in the end? Cheers for the info, never realised the later ones didn't have the Corrado script.
  8. Hello all Just found this thread which looked useful for me as i'm getting new paint soon. Anyone got a bigger list yet ?? Whats the deal with the Door sill scuff plate thingo's, are late ones available still ? Matt
  9. Nooooooooo, that looks so wrong ! Was that in Ipswich Steve??
  10. I've seen that grenn one before, its on 16" Porsche BBS RS
  11. Oh man, that upsets me just looking at it, i really don't get why people do this. A guy i worked with (in the UK) had his car keyed all over when he went to a football match, they done every panel on his including the roof, around the tailgate etc, he had only had the car for about 2 weeks. He did get it sorted through his insurance though, i'm interested to know what your insurance company told you ?? Isn't that what insurance is for, things like this?? If you were planning on repainting then it would kind of do you a favour if they paid out for you. Hope you get it sorted mate.
  12. Thats nteresting stuff, thanks for that.
  13. As above, why do most people tend to powder coat wheels, particualy when refurbing BBS RS'. I'm half way through refurbing mine and have been advised not to powder coat the centres by an alloy wheel repairer who told me it peels alot easier. He advised that i have them sprayed in 2 pack and then clear coat over the top, he had a freshly painted set of BBS LM's there and they did look really good. Just wondering what the pro's and con's are of 2 Pack and Powder Coat on wheels.... Cheers
  14. Cheers Anyone fancy helping me out with the hub question?? I need ETKA !
  15. As above, are the Corrado hubs and CV's the same as Golf VR6 ones ?? The reason i ask is that i want some but there are no Corrado parts over here, but Golf VR6 parts are easy enough to get. Cheers
  16. Welcome to the forum. Someone posted a llink to a Youtube clip with an R32ed Corrado that sounds like yours not too long ago, sounded aewsome. Matt

  18. If you've got Australian residency then i'd bring it with you mate, it will more than double in value if yo decided to sell it here. There is only 6 in the whole of Australia that i know of. Bring a 2 door Mk2 Golf and make a profit too, they only had the more door here, 2 doors are very sought after too. Matt
  19. Poo bum about the bolts dude, what torque setting did you use on them ?? Were they genuine BBS bolts. What did you use to seal them, just normal silicone ?? I'm picking your brains cos i'm gonna refurb mine and sell them soon...

    Axle stands

    I want to get my car completly off the ground soon, all 4 wheels up fairly high so i can get underneath and do a hub conversion etc. Bearing in mind all i have is the jack in the boot at the mo, what is the best way of actually getting it onto the wooden blocks or axles stands? one wheel at a time ?? Anyone have any pics ??

  22. What is Dave ?? Never erd of it.......
  23. Cheers for that, pretty easy mod by the looks of it. i'm assuming the offset is not changed either, which is awesome as RS 301's are ET33, the same as standard G60 BBS.
