like Dec says, some grilles are already fully open so no work is required... keep an eye out on ebay, you can pick one up for about a tenner like the one below. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-CORRADO-FRONT-GRILL-GRILLE-16V-VR6_W0QQitemZ170196499349QQihZ007QQcategoryZ9889QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem i seem to remember reading on one post that it makes naff all difference to cooling though...

i know what you mean, the standard C wheel has a nice feel to it. the Porsche wheels have a quite angular profile when compared to the roundness of the C wheel, but they are still quite substantial. the bumps on the rear of the wheel are a lot more pronounced on the Porsche too, so it still has a good feel. worth checking out the 928/944 wheels if you can, but i think they're similar to the RS wheel in diameter if they're any smaller than the stock wheel at all. later porsches have smaller wheels, but most from 1992/3 onwards have airbags. the trouble with smaller wheels in the 964 era 911 is that because the rev counter in in the center with 2 dial either side of it, your hands obscure most of the dials (including the speedo and all the warning lights!) when you're driving.

apologies for the delay getting back to you, was round the parents today and measured the two wheels - standard 964 is 380mm, RS is 360mm. doesn't sound a great difference, but very noticeable on the car!

they are quite massive, bigger than the corrado wheel. my old man has a 964 and we took the stock wheel off to replace it with a 964 RS wheel - same style, just smaller. both wheels have the VW/audi logos all over them so may well fit... they all fit together in the same way - pop off the horn button and bolt it on. it's still knocking about at home if you want me to take some pics of the fitting for you. IIRC it's a splined hole with a plastic tab that sticks out further to the drivers side - presume that's for indicator canceling? let me know if you want any pics or measurements. the RS wheel is closer to the corrado wheel in size but obviously quite a bit rarer!

Greetings folks, i've been borrowing info from this site for quite a while now, and thought i should probably get involved and make myself known! i'm running a blackberry VR6 and can mostly be found around the Hertford area (quite a few 'raddos round these parts... not sure if any of them belong to anyone on here!). so yeah, many thanks to anyone who's posted about ABS problems - got me through my MOT this week!
