It looks so much better with 16" Speedlines! I love it. :grin: x2 !! Cant believe how much better they look in 16's!
-
Go for Azev A's in 16's. Perfect :D

Black ones available from my local aswell couple of months ago. but then again i brought mine from ebay, i'm too lazy :sleeping:
-
yeah, they are the same set. I have them, i think they look ace and had mine for over a year (11,000 miles) and still look brand new.

Pricey, but the best mats for a Rado by far. You can still order them through the stealers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-VW-FL ... 240%3A1318

Looks stunning mate. Paints my next call, same colour. -
Never thought of boiling water to be honest, seems a good idea though. Didn't want to knacker the paint up either. Its took 2 corrados and about 3 years of ownership to pluck up the courage :lol: I just thought if it goes pear shaped, i'll just attach the side trim back on. Whats the worst you can do with a hair dryer :shrug: To be honest now its done, its the best paint on the car :lol: and it cleans the side of the car up perfect. As long as you heat the hell out of the trim, and go very very slow you should be ok, or was i just lucky :cheers:

I gave this a go at the weekend, It took ages!! There is loads of useful info on here, some horror stories and some not so useful info. I was a tad nervous about ruining my paint to say the least, so thought I'd post how i did it in pics and hopefully help others! Sorry in advance if this thread is useless, it kept me occupied for at least 10 minutes :D I found the best way was to heat up the rubber trim as much as possible. Gently pull it away from the sticky foam leaving the foam on the car. Then heat up the foam and pull that away. I was then left with er.. crap all over my door. Spent hours with Autoglym Tar remover removing every last little bit. You could probably do it quite quickly if you wern't so picky, otherwise you will spend hours making it perfect(trust me, Hours!!). To finish off i needed to T cut (horrible stuff) the entire revealed section. Then give it a dam good clean and polish. I chose my weapon (thanks to the missis :)) Every one knows what they look like attached! Started with the front wing piece, didn't take long at all to remove. Its the doors that took ages for me, depends how brave you are i suppose, i took it really slow! Extra set of hands is very useful! Finishing touches! Not the best pics, but i don't think its looks that different in the pics. Looks alot better in person. This took me soooooooooooo long its untrue! but its definitly worth it. Just make sure you get the kettle ready, and the biscuits :lol:

Sounds Awesome!!

Sorry in advance if this has been covered! Been after a this for quite some time now (too cheap to pay for it). Just found an ebay advert selling it for £10, brought it, within 10 mins i have an address to download it from :clap: Better than £80! I'm waiting for someone to say they got it for free, or i have been diddled out of money. Well in advance :D Link Removed.

Fix up the few Scuffs, new grill, maybe sit it a bit lower. Spend a few pence and it'll look mint! :D

I love the colour, would never have another car in the same colour though. Looks really nice when its clean, but as soon as its got a couple of days dirt on it the car just looks really dull. Thanks for that, do you have to use the resistors? i assume you would to lower the voltage.[/quote:1t2a0x4j] Yeah, if you dont use the resistors they flash really quick. you have to solder the resistor on each side, really easy. There is a pic on the forum somewhere showing you how and where. If you buy them and cant find the pic, i'll take a photo of mine for you -

Dont waste your money on green bulbs mate, the only thing they do is make you indicators harder to see.(My bro nearly drove into the back of me!) Get yourself some led's and relays. 10 min job and they work a treat! http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/382-36 ... 16690.html These are the ones i got, just cant remember if they were opposite pins or not. -
MMMM As a Utd fan i dont think this thread is appropriate :lol:
-
Cant stand them. My brother has one in his, he's been searching a year for another grey plastic trim to replace it :lol: but as said, you really cant get them to fit properly, or was that just me :shrug:
-
lol. My mate used to live there, by the chinese take away. Always used to drive past a Tornado red C there too.
-
mate, i have a 9A and my clocks are exactly the same as yours. and mine are defo valver clocks
-
Just noticed your from Cannock. Saw an Aqua VR on one stop in hednesford this morning. was that you?
-
yeah i had one for my 21st birthday. has to be one of the best days ever!! I went with drivers dream days, they hold it on the same place as gti international this year. Didn't get to do handbrake turns or anything like that. but did drive alot of cars. Ferrari 360, porsche 911, lotus elise, subaru WRX. the missis drove an Aston and my bro drove a Lamborghini. :D Cant think of a better day out really

Join the club mate, have a read through this. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62564&hilit=isv+remove
-
Nope! Been reading topics on here, there aint half a few about 9A's. Looks like the ISV id first on the list
-
Cheers Jim. I've heard alot of good thing about them, but for some reason got it in to my head they were miles away! Will have to call them. I'm gathering they are the best people to have a look at my dodgy idle aswell.
-
Idle is up and down on the revs, but when you get going its runs fine. i took it to the garage last year, they said there was nothing wrong with it, and it never did it again, until last week.
