Cheers Rodders, I quite like the look of a bit of dish on the rear - especially if it's on an 8j...

Awesome looking car mate! PM on it's way (Doh! sorry for x3 PM's)

Yes, I just noticed they were called silver roses. (V.nice G60_Stoney) It's just that the rears have a different profile to the fronts - whereas the D90's are the same?

Cheers VR6 Storm. Are the wide rears slightly different to the fronts then? I've seen some which look like they dish outwards at the edge of the rim... http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/album_ ... ic_id=1567 http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=1564 Whereas these just have a larger lip??? With an offset of 52 – what sort of width adapters would fill the arches nicely – whilst avoiding rubbage?

Hi guys, I’m tempted to acquire a set of D90’s for my VR. I’ve had a trawl through ebay – and ebay.de and have come to the conclusion that D90’s are all 16” with a stud pattern of 5x130. This is good news as I think 16” would be perfect, but I’m just wondering about the width and offset/adapter combination. The widths I’ve found are 6, 7, 7.5, 8 & 9. I was thinking that keeping the same width all round would be easier – as I could rotate the wheels tyres as required. So with that in mind any set between 7-8 wide all round would do me. The offsets listed seem to vary for each width – 7j – ET 55 7.5j – ET 65 8j – ET 52 Is this correct?

Pointless - as mentioned above - people fail to use lanes 1 & 2 if there are 4 or 5 lanes available. Motorway skills should be taught as part of a M-way test - before you can use 'em.

Ha - I've recently bought my first Rado - and my son's only 4 months old!!

Sure - I was thinking standard factory trim.

Quickie – was there just one colour of beige leather for Raddos made – ie for all markets? Would an interior from U.S. or Germany match the UK leather? Cheers, Ryan.

Put the colour coded grill on today (thanks again to Stan 24v) - no chance of photo's due to the weather. Now on the lookout for smoked rear lights....standard or FK.

Good stuff Foggy - I'll be interested to see the results...

I'm glad people are still looking at this... I'd be greatful if you'd post your findings once you've had a go, Cheers, Ryan

Cheers Steve, It's got Konigsport coilovers - and I think they're set fairly low...and firm. I do like the look of it - but it's not practical for my commute - there's about 10 huuuuge speed bumps through the village just before the office (they're the big square ones - not the ones that are fully across the rd), and the scrap is not nice if I have to go over them straight on. So to remedy this I'm having to wait for a gap, and go over both (through the gap between them) which is a pain in rush hr as gaps in the traffic are sometimes few and far between! So - long term it will by sitting higher (not by too much I hope) and have a slightly softer ride (I must be getting old)

Same as turning it on - push it away again :wink:

No additions (I'm trying to clean up the rocco for a meet at the weekend). But I spent a whopping 56p on a new battery for the alarm fob - much improved - but it still won't do anything like the claimed 10m range in the booklet! Also found that the spare fob doesn't work :cry: Looking at getting a handbrake gaitor, just waiting for a sample (probably get matching gear gaitor too). Need to give the interior a bloody good clean 1st though...job for tuesday.

A new battery has improved things - but I'd still like a better solution than Keys, Alarm fob & immob fob!

Ah - but things change (bet she would have thought them a bloody good idea with 4 kids!) And now they are here - is it too much to ask not to use them if you don't have kids :x

Hmm that's funny - I thought the same thing (but didn't really use them unless it was quiet) until 4 months ago when my son was born. Now I realise what a great idea they are. I don't use them very often - but I know what a difference it makes when my girlfriend is battling through the crowds to get MY shoppping, having to contend with a screaming baby, a full trolley (Yes I'm FAT) and the best the weather can throw at her. Last thing you need in that situation is no room to manouvre the baby/babyseat into the car (which can be a PITA at the best of times). Just to add though - YES - I think all spaces should be this size!

What about Lupo? I think Adam G on No-Rice had one on his rocco. (well someone with a white rocco had one)

I use the spaces next to Disabled spaces in Sainsbury's - gives you more room on one side at least - failing that I park miles away from anyone else!

It's got RED written on most of the old MoT's!

Yep - I do really like it - but need to sort out a couple of things to make it a bit more Ryan friendly! Not sure where it fits in the fleet - the mk1 gets more smiles/mile for me - it's a car I've wanted to own since I was 10 or 11. The Bora is an awsome car for eating up m-way miles - nearly 60MPG to Wales at 80mph+ The MPG could be the C's downfall - but I'll reserve judgement until I've had it for the winter. I did enjoy myself today when a c*ck in a repmobile decided to drive 1m from the rear bumper in heavy traffic on the A34 :evil: ...I waited patiently for the cars ahead to move over...accelerated gently...he was still pressing - gave him a wave and off went Wedge :scatter:- he was a spec in the distance by the time I reached my junction :-P

Nice. Interior looks very tidy!

Hmm - bad light - have to wait for some sunshine and take some more. Doesn't look like Burgundy!!!

V.Nice mate. Liking the rear lights too…I’m undecided on mine – some days I really like them, some days I REALLY want (dark/smoked) crystals :lol:
