  1. very nice, estoril blue is one of my fav colours
  2. try and get a 2nd panel and bumper. Someone in work did this too me, went through insurance new bumper from VAG is 550 + VAT + respray. Worked out about 800 quids worth... Hope you get it sorted. Car looks good. Andrew
  3. vr6stormer, nice one mate - I was in the pub enjoying a few breskis before I went to the game (sintellins born and bread!)
  4. local community reps can check speeds in the local area. Happens in my Mums village, however AFAIK there is no legal element which lumps you with a fine/points. You receive a formal letter from the plod. Although I think 3 of them and you may be in more bother.
  5. i could be interested in a bumper swap later this year LOL!
  6. standard valver offset is et35 IIRC
  7. two corrados within an hour driving past the "Cabbage Patch" pub in Twickenham about midday ish. You wouldn't have seen me as I was in the pub! I waved in spirit! Green one, on a private plate (too far away to see anything else) and a blue storm (poss - touch drunk!) Andrew
  8. just to book the trend, I wouldn't be in a rush to change the standard (late valver) steering wheel. Not seen one wheel that suits the age of the C so until I do you can't tempt me! Lippy

    H36 VDM

    very nice - I've been looking into 15" rims, you may have persuaded me!
  11. stick a pic up mate, looks like you've got a good buy there
  12. h100vw, hi gav, thanks I have been dead busy recently and haven't had the time or daylight to give it a thorough check over. However, out of interest in this thread I did check the wiring to the boot light - low and behold the little git had disconnected which meant that my alarm kept going off! So, for the moment the alarm is working perfectly (just jinxed it) however if I have any more problems I know where to be looking. Cheers Andrew

    20vt

    on a bike you subconsciously prepare for it as you are driving. If you are a passenger then you don't have a clue when the driver presses the loud pedal! as my girlfriend keeps telling me off for doing!
  14. coolrado, if you don't go with them I may need some emergency rims and 100 quid would be about right... I should know this week if I need them, you got a picture of em Nice one Andrew
  15. is that the same for the 1.8T and the V5? changing the subframes etc, is that as painful as it sounds?
  16. rmn, ok springs I can cope with, as long as the shocks are OK! cheers mate Andrew
  17. g60griff, whats the issue with adaptors - are they a bit risky or are you OK if you get TUV approved ones. Any recd suppliers? or is ebay first port of call all for research purposes ofcourse! Andrew
  18. Madjackal, thats what I think, but if you dont ask you don't get! incidentially that was also my thinking behind asking for a pay rise!
  19. ok, sorry if this has been asked before but 13 pages is alot to re-read at work I have a valver 2ltr with Koni shocks and a milltek exhaust. both these were listed as valver part #'s with different numbers for equiv vr models. Does this mean that if a 24v "fell" into my engine bay that the suspension, and exhaust (ignoring the other valver parts that would need uprating for now) would be useless? If a 1.8T or V5 also fell in, same question! Cheers Andrew
  20. bcstudent, i think it depends on the version of VAG COM but I could be wrong. Vince told me that my Throttle position switch was on the blink when he plugged in VAG COM at the RR day.
  21. stanbates, quaife/peolquin manufacture limited slip diffs (LSD) to improve traction amongst other things. limit of technical knowledge>
  22. interesting point... this could is similar to a problem ive got (GT136)... anyone! :D Andrew
  23. do a search for idle problems mate, loads of threads and poss cures. Also if your a 2ltr valver you should be able to hook up to VAG COM and get some error codes from the ECU. There is a thread with people local to you with access to the software. Think it is in the engine bay section... Welcome to the forum, stick a few pics up if you feel like it! Andrew
