Nice! tbh I prefer them to your old ones :(

It is, but im not sure about where to buy one ;

what are those ones? i know a man who has died and left a set behind and i wouldn't mind having them, although am sure someone said they wouldn't fit my C. they are on a transporter pickup at the mo, and looks like there are spacers or adaptors behind them They are Borbet As - 7.5J front with 9J rears (16") with the flat caps, they are 4 stud, so you'd probably need some sort of adaptor to fit..someone could probably elaborate more! My arches need rolling at the rears, 7.5J fronts clear no probs 8) My corrado is wound down -60mm btw. Side shot attached.

I think this looks awesome! Just me? so what :D

looks good, whats the quality like on those ones? No idea mate, i'll let you know when they are fitted! 8)

Cheers :cheers: . In keeping with the spirit of this thread, you're more than welcome to come down the road and take my SRP if needed 8)

Factory corrado also had 4x4 ride height ;) . I reckon that with a few subtle mods it could actually look nice. Or wait and see if they release an

Wow, thanks for the offer mate - it's very kind of you, but I think that it would probably just be cheaper for me to go and buy a bottle :lol: . Maybe I should stop being such a tightarse and spend the extra £12. I felt well dodgy spending £40 alone just to wash the car! :lol:

I guess stonechips are better than a bra! (imho, anyway - but maybe i'll change my mind once fresh paint is on ;) ) I'm in Croydon mate, probably too far to go get that stuff from you :( But thanks for the kind offer :). Yours is looking great from the avatar - I guess that's also down to the Autoglymness? So there you have it - if you plan to make your C shiny on a budget, get clay + autoglym 8)

:lol: :notworthy:

Are you using the money to get a boob job? :lol: Love that car btw 8)

Happy sunday all, Went to Halfords and bought the meguiars claybar set, Autoglym SRP, poo halfords car shampoo and a Mit. Due to being on a budget, I couldn't get the resin protection :( All in all it came to about £40. Oops!! The claybar set was £24 alone, so i deemed it as a 'must have'. You guys weren't wrong about the claybar though, I didn't know my C was THAT green! Sooooo happy with the results ^__^! The only downside is that über blemishes and chips stick out like a sore thumb in some places :gag:

Thanks for the quick replies :D So the AG super resin and the claybar will be definates...Is it advisable to use a shampoo with wax in it? (got some turtlewax stuff sitting on my shelf, could save ££?)

Sorry to hear this, I read in the paper the other day that this was the latest carjackers method of theft....bastards! Lets hope there's a happy ending

Good morning chaps, Seeming as it's my half day from work, I plan spend the afternoon trying to mint the exterior as much as I can, only with a limited budget. Went on some car cleaning website and filled a basket up with £65 worth of goods that i'd *really* want. However for that money I could get something far more worthy, such as working engine components Therefore, I'd say that I don't plan to go over £25 but would stretch to £30, and due to the only downside of online shopping (delivery times..) i'll have to go and abuse halfrauds :( So, what's the best polish, wax, shampoos to get? Reminder that halfords doesn't sell dodo juice IIRC :(. Oh, and for now I have a general car sponge :norty: The car is metallic green, so specific wax/polishes would be handy url: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/categorydisplay_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_categoryId_33974_langId_-1_topCategoryId_33958_parentcategoryrn_33958_crumb_33958_topcategory_33958 Obviously I know that it won't look as good as the 'full works', but i'll save that job until after a respray 8) Cheeeers :camp:

definately the AMG 8)

If i remember correctly, my pulley was completely siezed up and my tensioner arm needed replacing :(. Therefore, I disconnected the bolts of the pump (not the hoses!) to get a little play so I could fit the new belt. You might have better luck tho 8)

See attached pic. PAS fluid resevoir is actually to the left of the battery. The belt is below betweebn #2 and #3 near the bottom, there should be 2 belts - you want to check the small one! The pump is also down here :D

No PAS fluid, PAS pump fubar'd or PAS belt has come off 8)

I have a 13A Arc welder and its fine to penetrate 2mm easily, so I think you should be ok 8)

Hi, welcome to the forum! Your corrado looks nice, I think lowering it would finish it off though 8). Paintwork looks mint! That silvery corrado is interesting - never seen analogue clocks with a late dash!

Depends on the rollcage material mate. Stainless = TIG Welding(Not familiar with rollcage stuff, sorry). All other steels should be ok for mig, unless it's galvanised (not 100% sure on galvanised steel, someone may need to verify)

Considering your age and NCB, i'd say a 1.8 16v. Group 15 compared to a much higher 2.0 insurance group. Oh, and comparing 2 factory examples - the 1.8 is slightly quicker 8)
