  1. indeed, i could happily spend my days doing that btw, i started work on my window lastnight, drilled the old rivets out the old mech, job looks quite straight forward now i can see how it goes together
  2. i may of been wrong, just reminded me of that, didn't mean to worry ya
  3. looks like the intended market for the VXR is doing itself proud imo
  4. http://www.mat.fi/project1984toyotacelicaturbo.htm 311 photos, but omg, thats amazing time and effort there 8) 8) 8)
  5. number plate fixing kits i do believe this effect is created with touch up pens WOW, whats that? an extra 20bhp at least

    Which Seats??

    can you fit any seat into any car? the new corsa VXR has nice seats
  9. have you read the thread at all? :lol: ;) no i haven't :lol: i think i should :oops:
  10. its styling from the late 80's early 90's tho, and its quite tame compared to some of the other stuff :lol:
  11. i paid £85 to have mine replaced, including parts/coolant etc
  12. i was told that even if the emissions past they won't pass it without actually seeing the cat. thats what my local station told me, i just told myself they were jealous of my decat
  13. i wouldn't get a car thats older than my main car as the 2nd car, if that makes sense, i would just imagine the golf costing more to keep going i'd rather buy a £200-300 car that was up to 8yrs old (ish)
  14. so is the dye a spray on that in effect covers up the black? or does it actually dye the leather so there isn't any black underneath? looks fantastic, i just can't get my head round it
  15. ^^^just noticed you mentioned that aswell :( :lol:
  16. damn, i nearly pointed that out after reading my book. some of the performance packages sound impressive, like the 240bhp (ish) turbo conversion for the 16v

    new fogs :lol:

    what do people use to infill the panels, plastic weld or just fibreglass?
  18. what have you done exactly, retrimmed some cloth seats in red leather or dyed the black leather red?
  19. Nope, they are late spec Golf VR 288mm calipers with EBC green stuff pads and discs.... forgive my lack of knowledge but are corrados 280mm then? is it a simple upgrade?
  20. i'm being really lazy here, but what is the brake setup you have on the front? are they standard VR calipers jut painted? what discs and pads are they? Thanks
  21. very tidy!!! i take it not all corrados have the arm rest seperating the rear seats?
  22. i reckon if we ban all women from driving everything will work out ok :lol:
  23. also the fact the news has come from mycarcheck.com :lol: and the way its written is typical internet crap, written to scare people and cause arguements "rust buckets from the 1980's" :lol: great line
