Keyo

Ok great thanks for posting, that's what they are meant to look like , glad you posted as my Hella are that fogged now I feel happy that these ones I have purchased look a lot like stock.

That could be an option but I'm hoping they are more like the stock Hella lenses and the pic posted by Dragon Green are glass ARZ ones, but as mentioned they do look like a good fit which is the important bit.

Would rather them like the Hella to be honest , it does say chrome and crystal clear, so you have to get some chrome bulbs with them unless you want the orange showing through. I think that picture might be arz marco ones as they are described as crystal clear. Diedrichs (ones I have purchased) [ATTACH=CONFIG]97189[/ATTACH] ARZ Glass [ATTACH=CONFIG]97190[/ATTACH]

Looks like the last stock Hella ones sold for just over £100 a pair. https://www.vwheritage.com/535953142b-front-indicator-assembly-clear-right-vw-spare

Will do Gerry, I'll post some pics, but I imagine they are good quality as they are German manufactured. To be fair it's them or ARZ glass ones I believe that are £100 pounds or so including delivery and I think the ones I have purchased look more like stock Hella from the pictures. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Indicators-Blinkleuchten-Set-Clear-Glass-VW-Corrado-New/323828728359?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 I believe the stock Hella Indicator lenses are now obsolete unless they run another batch.

My front indicator lenses were badly fogged and had several bad chips/ small cracks . Stumbled across these tonight, hope they are good quality. Under £40 for the set delivered. https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/hd-karosserieteile/7038489 Please note this company is actually based in Germany.

I've purchased cars far away before and have asked the seller to drop it off at the local specialist for a pre inspection, but these were Porche 911's that the sellers wanted top money for so didn't want to risk it . However if your serious about the car £60 wont hurt for a pre inspection.

Ive got two new toyo proxies on my spped lines stored in the garage , If I had know thay had a bad rep there's noway I would of purchased them Also owned some 18 Hankook Venus on my old R129 SL500 and the car slid out at the back a couple of times, but it was sort of fun.

Still for sale.

That's interesting, I use to rate Perilli tyres in till I owned a Mustang GT S550 that had them as stock brand new, The car drove like it was on ice with really bad rear wheel hop, changed them out for some Michelin Pilot sports and it transformed the car. Sometimes I think Large car manufactures do a deal with the tyre manufactures and might not manufacture their tyres to their normal quality to strike up the right price to the car industry,

Are Avon 205/45 R16 any good for a 16 rim, they were a good price so thought I would give them a bash, but only done about 70 miles in them in good weather.

The interior, body coded grill and alloys would lead you to believe it's a Storm unless parts were adopted form another Storm model. I think the storm badge is missing from the gear stick trim.

Thank Fen I'll keep that in mind in the future but I can't bring myself to peel off the membrane now it has been newly fitted. One thing I was thinking is some waterproof treatment to the bottom of the internal door as this looks like a very damp area and prone to erosion.

Ok thanks Dox think I will leave it be for the time been. Cheers.

Thanks somone showed me how to remove the doors cards a few weeks ago so can get them off in under 5 minutes . Does the whole window aperture have to be taken out of the door to replace them or can you just pop them off when they are in the horizontal track at the bottom of the door? Can you inspect the door rollers visually by lowering the window when the door card is off by looking at the horizontal strip at the bottom of the door. Cheers.

Thanks Dox, my driver side glass does shake when half way down and you can move it a little from side to side , is this the rollers causing this. Looked at that thread but can't see how you change them, is it a big job? I actually have 4 new rollers as spare at home. Cheers.

Of course I didn't as there was bound to be something I missed ha ! How do you check them , do you have to lower the window and inspect the rollers in the track ? Cheers

Did the crappy job of door membranes today. All I needed to do the job was some 15 meters of double sided butyl tape. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DOUBLE-SIDED-WATERPROOF-MEMBRANE-JOINTING-BUTYL-TAPE-DPM-VARIOUS-WIDTHS/182833094846?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=690136424080&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 1 per door sheet membrane https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-door-membrane-protects-from-damp/253356930907?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Heat gunned the old butyl off then applied new membrane using the old membrane as a template. Used WD40 electric contact spray on all connections whilst in that area. Before [ATTACH=CONFIG]97185[/ATTACH] After [ATTACH=CONFIG]97186[/ATTACH] Happy with outcome ! Just has to replace one of the speaker connectors .

These look the same as your Sean but with a different ET. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Astra-G-Mk4-EDITION-100-BBS-RX258-17-5-Stud-Alloy-Wheels-Alloys-Set/264182966715?hash=item3d828829bb:g:2UsAAOSwA3xcWrB1

Bloomin hell never new that, have seen them relating to Volvo as well off ebay.

I can vouch for this , when I first got the Rado broke down twice in the first couple of weeks, first time was contacts on the battery needed a wire brush and he got me on my way. Second he checked fuse box and blown fuse , got me on the way both on the roadside .

Good stuff Sean, Did you flog the wheels ? Are the 17 even rarer then the 16 ?

Agreed I would rather get a bare set for between £150- £250 and get them powder coated and make sure they are straight on the roll machine, then look for some tyres , tyres only have a life span of 10 years I believe so that is worth looking at as well if alloys come with tyres.

I really like them as well, wouldn't mind a set if a bargain come up , would have to know the 7J fit though and would go for 16. Will have a look on your sig. Did'nt 7.5J stick way past the arches though Sean ?

I don't think they are expensive because it says the wheels and tyres are in good condition (but that would have to be the case), so if you worked out 4 tyres and cost of refurbishment etc. If you have an early 4 stud model you can get in to a set for quite a good price as they are more common, however 5 stud come on the market less often. 4 stud https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-16-BBS-RX214-Alloy-Wheels-x-4-4x100/233253981494?hash=item364f054d36:g:xEsAAOSwo5dc~tKD&frcectupt=true Has anyone got the 5 stud BBS RX fitted then guys , I have seen them on photos, what did you have to do to get them to fit, also do the tyres stick out over the arches ? Does the 7J make the steering a bit stiffer then stock 6.5J, I personally really like the look of split rims , on a F40 or Lotus Espirit wow! And some people pay 4k for a brand new set of BBS splits in the VW community so they are highly sort after in certain circles.
