I paid £750 posted from Germany for the wheels, it was the car in my sig that cost me £950

I'm think I'm going to colour code the centers and have the rim, bolts, center nut and badge chrome. I cant wait to get them on the car. :D

Just arrived and look the b8llox :D There 8,1/2 X 17's :D , I've always wanted some RS's, now I just need to get them blinging 8) What do ya think :?: DAZ

Can you look for that switch for me to? Any idea what it cost? Sorry mate he only had one.

Thanks for your help guys, I went down about an hour ago and could'nt find a Corrado switch :cry: , but when I showed the guy at the breakers the print off of the switch he went in the back and came back with a plastic panel with 2 electric window switches and a heated seat switch off a MK4 polo :? and it turns out the heated seat switch is exactly the same as a Corrado one :D And it only cost my £2 bargin

Hi, have any of you guys got a picture of a Corrado heated seat switch early and late if there is a difference please. My local VW breaker has a big box of switches (From various VW's) but I havent got a clue what I'm looking for. Thanks Daz

:? I think I got a bit mixed up, your on about the bit that covers the subframe slider ( the bit welded to the transmision tunnel) Sorry these are al the same. :D I think I got a bit mixed up, your on about the bit that covers the subframe slider ( the bit welded to the transmision tunnel) Sorry these are al the same.

The Recaro plastic trim is recaro specific, the corrado's is in 2 pieces, one covers the motor at the front and one that covers the subframe (has 2 holes for the switches). The golf recaro trim is different again, theres only one piece that covers the subframe and it only has one switch hole.

Yes mate I forgot to say, you can use standard corrado seat subframes aswell, but they will obviously be more expensive than scirroco ones.

If you've got some corrado subframes (rocking horse s**t, Gold dust etc) :( , these will bolt straight onto Ford recaros and into your Corrado, Golf 2/3,polo upto mk4 Recaro subframes will also fit but sit 1 to 2 inches higher front & rear. I'm not sure if Recaro's were fitted in scirocco's from the factory but if they were, I'd suspect that these would sit nicely in a Raddo. Using subframes from a standard Scirroco will work, as the seats sit lower, still higher than a Corrado but lower than Golfs etc, but its not a straight bolt off or bolt on job. Here what I have done in the past; 1) Get 2 scirocco front seats, seperate the back rest from the base, strip the base to the bare metal shell, Grind off all un-needed sticky outy bits (back rest hinge, seat pan etc) which will be obvious when your looking at the bare frame. 2a) (If retrimming, neater finish) Seperate the Ford Recaro seat, back rest from the base, strip the base to the bare metal shell, position the recaro metal baseframe on top of the scirocco subframe and weld them together. Rebuild the seat and have a trimmer cover the subframes ( looking side on) by extending the material or leather from the bolsters. 2b) without stripping the ford recaro's, weld the scirocco subframe and the ford base together, (without setting them on fire) if you do it this way you can see the subframe when you open the door as there is no plastic panel covering them. Hope this helps people :) DAZ

I've got a speaker in mine. :) Fitted it myself though, its the small center fill from an Audi TT. DAZ

yes mate they will fit, but you will need to buy some stronger front spings from Avo to support the extra engine weight. I contacted Avo with a similar question and that is what they told me. P.S they said the spings were about £25 each. DAZ

No probs DAZ

I'm not sure about the fog light and rear screan swith but I can't see why they should'nt as the golf 90 spec dash loom is the same as the corrado's as far as the swiches are concerned, Passat's (around G/J reg shape) use the exact same loom also, and the switches are identical to the raddo one's ( head light switch is the wrong shape). DAZ

Passat switch is the wrong shape (same style) , Mk2 golf switch will work (looks different though) quick fix, but the light simbol will be on its side. DAZ

I can't remember which switch it was but when my mates recaro switch broke he used one of the other swiches in its place that he had spare ( electric window, sunroof or spoiler switch) DAZ
