Hi, I have had an issue with only one full beam working and unsure if went at the same time but the blue dash full beam indicator has stopped working, thought it was a coincidence and thought that the bulb had gone. I today removed the near side bulb to exchange it but the bulb looked OK, sure enough the same problem and the full beam near side light was still out. Is this a common issue that can be sorted. Also is the dash bulb an easy one to sort. Many thanks.

What you think of the new wheels??? These were the original choice but due to a change of mind went for the brocks and sold the design 90's i had. Feel now should have just stuck with these as i think they look the balls!
-
Have put some 16 by 9 inch brock wheels and was wrongly advised by the shop as to the needed and the wheels are slightly too wide and rub on the arch. As such i am looking to get the inner face of the wheels milled off in some way to bring the wheels in slightly. Does anyone know where this can be done? I am based in hHalifax West Yorkshire but will travel to get sorted out. Thanks very much for help.

To be honest i was in no rush and it took around 6 months but was on and off with it. Have seen a few stuff in and out quickly to be honest its just when you go all that way things take time so everything looks right, not like some of the absoloute s***e that some people pay for with saggy corners and bad stitching.

Here are a few more pics for you. Thanks for all the good comments.
-
I got absoloutley everything at once.....the seats door cards, dash, centre console, roof, etc so got done as a package so unsure how much just dash would be mate.

The interior was done at MJ interiors, took a while but was well worth the wait. Was wrongly advised about the wheels from where i bought them from that needed an et25 wheel when have found out the hard way that really should be et15. Was thinking about changing the wheels due to this but thinking about changing arches to accomodate by getting factory recess taken out, rounding off the arches?????? not really sure as yet. Thabks for all the comments.

have a set of 8" design 90's and have been advised to go for a 205 40 16 tyre to get the look i want. i am however having problems in locating a good set. the best ones so far i can find seen to be yokohama a520. wondering if anyone could recomend a particular model that are good?
-
i have a set of design 90's for my rado and am about to purchase some adapters. i have only seen one guy with them on and he has 20 ones on front and 25mm ones on the back on 8" wheels all way round (with an ofsett of 52 or 53 unsure which)......... is there a reason for being 25mm on the back or is this just simply for a slightly wider back end??? he is also running 205/40/16 tyres which i am opting for and also a new set of coilovers. i ideally want the same effect on both front and back. anyone help??

am giong to be getting the VR turbo'd and have as yet made no serious enquiries. i am wondering who out there has done this, what is the extent of what they have had done, the cost and what BHP this has given. i have been looking at EIP tuning's manifold as well, anyone had any experience or heard if these are good or not? Thanks.

-
i was possibly thinking of purchasing a set of 17x8" Borbet E wheels for my aqua blue vr. i wondered if anyone could do me a piccy of what this would look like? the car is currently lowered 35mm so ride height looks just right on the 17's already on but want phatter look. thanks.

HELP.......Wolfsburg Golf GTi???????or not???????
radodale replied to radodale's topic in General Car Chat
after digging all day it appears as though it is only badged up as apparently they only make wolfsburg 16v's in purple and black and would have had cromelux glass. log book turns out to say golf 16v only but feel the pair are worth it for the bits so i am taking a mate to go see with me and he is v interested in 4 branch and interior. cheers for link to other forum, all registered and maybe of use. cheers. -
i have been offered what i have been told is an f reg wolfsburg edition 16v gti, it has electric recaros a few wolfsburg badges (which are available as aftermarket ones). he advises me that it is stated as being a wolfsburg edition on the log book. i am to see it tonight as i saw it 9 months or so ago and paid no interest. vw cannot trace specifically and state the vin number is showing as a golf rallye which does not mean it is a rallye but that it is a limited edition and they couldn't be any more specific. can anyone confirm what i need to specifically look for or if it is on the log book is that good enough. in addition what would this be worth????

i tried every possibllity (or i think i have) to get different seats b4 getting my car retrimmed and have been advised that the only way to fit any aftermarket seats is through using the subframes off a set of recaros that originally came from a corrado. before i luckily managed to source some i spoke with someone at recaro over here who managed to have a word with a fabricating company regarding making some subframes as they cost £550 each from stealers. they need an actual frame to copy which. the trimmer can take mine out and possibly give them a 3 week deadline to sort them for when mine is getting done. not sure on the cost but can mention to MJ interiors situation as i said to MJ that many people who want different seats will have the same problem and therefore possibly a lot of people might want then. send me pm if interested further and i will get you more info.
