How come the roof has been fully masked? Spraying in phases or different plan for the roof?

Good luck with this pal, loving ur approach so far good stuff - cant wait to see the finished article.

Ye im not sure as it shows in the pic they are Borbet E's but in the shops they mainly seem to be under the CB name!? At the mo im thinking the Borbet's either the 16 x 7.5 with 205/40's or if possible the 17 x 8's with either 215/40's or 205/40's but will 8inch width fit straight on with no fowling!?

Recently bought back my onld G60 to find it sitting on OZ 35th Anniversary wheels which I want to get rid of ASAP! But the change needs to be right first time, due to tight budget! The thoughts at the moment are either Borbet CB's: Or BBS RX's: Both of the pics are 17's and my car is a J reg G60 otherwise the same as in the pic and lowered 35mm. Im not sure though on whether 17's or 16's are the right way to go and what exact offset and wheels width and tyre combo to go for! Any pics general help is welcomed!! + where is the best place to buy? cheers

Go for it with the black it sets them off real nice, edging on retro!!

So True !!!

Ye BK 17's they are ok and were on it when i bought it, but they are only 7 inch i think and offset is bit too big, their no where near the arches plus the tyres are extreme sh*t!!

just had it dropped bout 35mm, wish i could of afforded coilovers but when u go coilover you have to go the best and thats price!! I think 9's all round is not gonna happen but 9 at the back is sounding tempting but not likeing the idea of cutting the arches, what about 9's with offset 20 or is that where coilovers are needed?! the car currently: (now with europe flag instead of tacky England flag on number plates and smoked instead of orange side repeaters)

Hmm.. ye think Borbet A's a no go, but Borbet E's now in contention for sure. Its true the Borbet A's have been done Borbet C's na not so much need the dish I rekon. Size still not sure that wheel-machine.de is pretty awsome good tyre deals thats for sure. How have 9 inch fitments on the rear been for people stright on? adapters? how much tyre arch kissing? thanks

Ok so the Rado is been droped, not much 35mm on Sachs & Boge (damn those speed bumps) but enough for now, and wheels that i bought it with are sh*t! Fallen for both the Borbet A's and T's but what sizes to choose!? 16 x 7'5 inch up front with the would be good i think but want them to fit straight with no rubbing, but at the same time keep them as close to the arch as possible, so is et20 too much? ne pics? 16 x 9 at the back? or 16 x 7'5? its a daily driver so again no rubbing and not up for arch work right now, so will 16 x 9's fit straight on and if so what offset will do that? or will 16 x 7'5 at et20 do a better job? Decisions decisions, ne pics and advice would be greatly appreciated, oh and which rims Borbet T or A? cheers P.S. how do u put pics on here?

brakes dont seem to be binding, it is possible the timing is out as I have just had the cambelt done and perhaps the timing is not quite been set properly, it does link in with what 'flusted' says about feeling gutless as low down it is seeming extremely gutless even for a valver! What aftermarket oil coolers are about?

My recent purchase of a 95 2L 16v is going well so far just lowered it got it fully serviced, but after driving about 800 miles in it now im finding two key issues im a little worried about. Firstly the MPG return is being very poor, averaging between 20-27 MPG and thats even if being frugle with the right foot! Secondly Oil Temp is averaging 118 - 120 C today sitting in traffic on the M25 at idle and even at speed after didnt really drop below 108 - 114 C! Ne body else finding this? Are the two likely to be related? thanks

Dont worry, all sorted the hammer on the handle needed filing down abit, it seemed to be keeping the lock open all the time. Now all i need to solve is the intermitent passanger lock which sometimes dosnt open, with the pin going up and then dropping down ne ideas? thanks

The 'plastic section on the stricker pin', do u mean the lil white bobble on the handle mechanism? because the delocked handles only have a custom metal strikers i think. They are rear Passat items yea, sounds like ur design may be well worth it! cheers

After being without a rado for 2 months due to the sale of my G60, last weekend i bought a beautiful aqua blue 2L16v for a deal at £1200 (my second Corrado and im only 19, talk about hooked!), but my first mod has caused issues! On my last rado i found delocking my door handles, with modified rear Passat items simple and effective, but today i tried it on my new boy and after an hour or so in the freezin cold, i was done....or not! N/S door all good, but drivers not so, close the door lock the car and can still open the door but only an inch! Unlock the car same thing! it can be intermitent when it lets me open the door totally but is usually when the door is locked i.e. alarm goes off! Not much fun! Ne ideas? cheers

il try it when i buy it on sunday! cheers guys

Basically looking to buy a Corrado iv seen, and one of the little issues with it is that though its got a well nice electric recaro interior the passanger seat only moves forward but not back, what do u guys rekon this is likely to be? Motor or Fuse, or something else? If is the motor how much of a job is it to replace one? Cheers

Recently my C is showing around 118c and 120c at 80-90 mph, though this has been at night and apparently having the lights on can upset the MFA readings. So what are your G60s showing at motorway speeds?

Have come to the conclusion that either there were no UK Black or Blue G60's with black factory interior or they are very rare? I have seen some LHD ones but no UK ones! Can nebody clear this up for me? cheers

Keep playing these PS games with cars being Nos'd, the latest being Juiced, which actually manages to have a Corrado VR6 on it! So NOS'd my two Corrados on the game! which is pretty good by the way, and got me thinkin that i never here many in the VW seen using NOS, ne G60 or VR6 NOS'd beasts out there?

All sorted now, not cheap but done, £75 new lambda and then got Janspeed in Salisbury to adapt the bypass, so now fits sweet, charged £50, recomend them for exhausts

See the thing is i love the sound and performance but just annoyed its gonna cost me, im taking it to a place called Janspeed on monday to see if they can manufacture it to fit properly!

Basically last november i bought a miltek cat bypass and back section for my J reg G60. Was well chuffed with it and have been until this weekend! It gives good performance yet is subtle, what i wanted. But i am having running issues with my car and it now sems like the answer maybe that what seems to be the design of the decat pipe. Where the lambda sits it forces it into the heat shield and has screwed the wires. This is partly my fault for allowing a crap garage to fit it, but though they are part to blame for leaving it even though it was such a tight fit, it does also seem to be a design fault! Has ne one else had a similar issue with their Miltek, as i have always heard good thing about them until now. cheers

Was a problem with timing being off previous, so possibly and the idea with the injectors is a new one, and might not be far off il check tonight, thanks

Had this problem a while now, thrown way to much money at it with no return! It is an inconcistent idle issue which occurs at high an low revs, making the car buk when driving. The only thing that concistently seem to make it idle again properly is disconecting the left hand connector to the ISV. Which would make u incline to it being the ISV, but after a purchase of £215 today, but still dosnt work, it is not the ISV! Also been replaced is the water sensor, Co2 sensor and knock sensor. Also tested is the idle switch and full throttle switch whcih seem to work Please if ne one has had similar issues or can shed any light on what it possibly is that would be great cheers
