  1. thats what i thought originally but i think its the angle the pic(s) have been taken that makes them look elongated
  2. then again going by this website's http://www.cottingham.co.uk/macf1/index2.htm pics it seems all Mclaren F1's had the C's mirror tho some do look a bit funny looking then again probably a different angle that the pics have been taken at
  3. :D :D :D :-P :-P :-P :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: luverly dubberly
  4. pretty sure its only the Mclaren F1 GTR that uses the Corrado mirrors tbh........the "standard" Mclaren i think uses a very similar design to the C ones
  5. on the later 2.0 16v's and 8v's the rear centre armrest became an optional extra tho it was standard on ALL UK-market VR6's,G60's and of course 1.8 16v's :wink:
  6. AFAIK the price per side for the heat-pads is about £50-ish
  7. well after being a totally commited Ford man.....escort1300's,XR3i and Sierra XR4i i got into german coupes over 10 years ago 1993 to be exact and went through Porsches(924lux,924S and 944 turbo) til i got bit badly for something stupid on the 944 turbo...A/C compressor clutch at a bill of over £400 :x :shock: :shock: .......after a very brief flirtation with a mercedes 190e auto(3 months to be exact)i bought a hi-mile but FSH'd Audi UR-quattro which i loved but the future missus heard horror stories about maintenance of them etc so sold up to keep her happy :roll: .......eventually ending up with a brand new Ford Ka in 1997(great handling wee motors btw)then after a couple of years smoking about in that the missus let me go for something german and expensive :-P .....looked at a low-mile N-plate 2.0 8v at the local VW dealer in early 99 but A) it was sold B) they wanted £13,500 for it :shock: :shock: :shock: and C) i would be hankering after more power :wink: ...............so walked across the road and spotted a pretty nice BMW 318ti sport-pack.......bought that but always hankered after a C,looked at a few in the next year or so,inc a 42k mile 95N VR,50k mile 95N 2.0 16v,a 56k mile 95M storm,even a 22k mile 96N 2.0 8v auto.........then after 2 1/2 years BMW ownership (about the summer of 2001) set a budget of up to £11k-ish and got feelers out for a mystic blue storm............even considered getting a brand-new BMW mini cooper but thankfully realised early-on(this was just prior to the MINI being launched btw :wink: that they would be common as A******* :roll: anyway nothing was coming my way so just happened to glance through the autotrader and a low mile classic green storm for sale at a newly opened lexus dealership in edinburgh drew my attention........a phone call later had me heading 125+miles down just to have a look........2 weeks later and about £10,500 lighter i had my then 38k mile FVWSH'd 1 previous owner classic green storm.........never once regretted it and have no intention whatsoever of selling
  8. then again ford do/did have 4 2.8+ litre capacity V6 engines in their model range from 1990-2000+.......not to mention the smaller cologne 2.4i V6 and 2.5i 24v duratec V6 and IIRC the probe utilises a mazda V6 Cologne 2.9i 12v...............sierra GLS 4x4(,Xr4x4,Ghia estate(88-93),Granada Ghia,Ghia X,Scorpio(87-94),Scorpio (94-99) Cosworth 2.9i 24v............Granada Scorpio 24v(91-94)Scorpio(94-99) VW 2.8 VR........................Galaxy V6(95-present?) :wink:
  9. well not in the uk.......UK-market 1.8 16v's came as standard with 185/55 Vr 15 on sebrings
  10. he bought a set of later fogs and indicators :wink:
  11. A/C is all very nice when it works but like other mechanical bits it also needs maintained......which unless you've had A/C on the car since new or know who had the car before and knew that they had kept "on-top of it" maintanence-wise to me its just another thing to go wrong(usually expensively :shock: :shock: :roll: )......i know ive been bitten by A/C before :roll: :shock: :shock: .......like paying £400-ish to have a compressor clutch replace on my 944 turbo :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
  12. i'm sorry struan but thats crap...........just look at the interior of the campaign.......early interior.....the K-plated VR that i was in when Pau1 whipped its ass in yer C before you had it also had the early interior.......the one's you have seen i would say are 99.9% sure to have had the later interior retro-fitted to them........the exterior facelift was for the start of VR production which was post Aug/sept 1991 in germany....so 92M/y therefore a few G60's made in 92 up to the 93M/Y(august 92)will have the later exterior trimmings
  13. dont do it.........you'll only regret it.....just ask Jim16vG60 :wink: :wink:
  14. well to be honest jim.......most places actually charge the caterers for their pitch so they bump up their price to try and offset this.......ok they still make quite a huge profit but at the same time they still have to fork out quite an unreasonable sum to make it
  15. ......i'll fight you..............Dr No...vocal chords
  16. vr6storm

    Coilovers

    if you can and of course if you are going........try and wait til Inters......that way you should pick up suspension kits a bit cheaper than normal.......i scored last year with my Koni coilovers........not cheap at £650 but still better than the £700 best price at the time :wink:
  17. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Cashback!
  18. yip i would agree with VR6.....best check your oil level 1st.....tho more than likely it will be the switch thats the culprit
  19. still won't stop yer paper boy nicking yer valve caps tho :lol: :lol: .......seriously tho ive heard good reports about the McGard wheel-locks........and surprisingly with a name like that they seemingly are sourced from germany :wink:
  20. you weren't the only one either Joe :roll: :wink:
  21. if you go to this thread here you'll find out.. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=885 .please use that one for posting about ages etc....keeps it nice an tidy :wink:
  22. i think there's a place in the edinburgh area but cant mind the name of it...............tho if u ask JohnJ from the forum i'm sure he had his interior done North of the border........but tbh if you travel a bit further you then have access to the skills and expertise of such well-respected trimmers such as MJ-interiors and DB-cartrim in shipley nr bradford and blackpool respectively.......dunno about DB but MJ does do a reasonably quick turn-around
  23. :oops: hell yeah :-P ........but c'mon i wasnt a million miles away tho :-P :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
