i know a couple of folk who have had steels banded, on their corsas, i could ask who did them if you like?
-
i'm going to be really honest and say i think they look naff :( the speedlines are a much nicer wheel i think you need more mods to pull off steelies, it just looks "temporary" to me sorry about that :(

whatabout a skoda fabia VRS?

so if i just clean them and sand a little they will be alright?

got some pads with some calipers i bought, the pads are like new but have been used (not very much) but they have been put in a box with the braking surface touching the back of the next pad, meaning there is copper grease on the braking side on 3 of the 4 pads. would i be wise just to bin them and get new ones, i had planned to buy new discs and pads all around anyway so getting the pads with the calipers was an added bonus really

taking the headlight out is easiest way i find. just undo the two screws on the top that you can see, then there is a circle shaped hole in the slam panel, shine a torch down there and you will see the other screw :)

is it possible to get a device that turns your mains power from the wall 240v into 12v power. bought something that needs a 12v power supply, thought i had a spare car battery but its been binned now can't find anything online, only stuff that does 12v to 240v, not the other way round

lovely stuff, are the rears standard corrado ones or mk4 golf ones? where did you buy the rubber boots that cover the slider bolts?
