you could get some narrow bits of bolsawood and some speaker cloth (like you get on home-audio speakers) and build yourself some new dash grills using the originals as a guide for the shapes you'll need.

heres my favorite 8)

looks good mate! i'd leave it as it is, its got a nice stance to it. Its amazing how much better C's look lowered and with some nice rims 8)

got mine from demon tweeks and it fit perfectly, ordered the 1.8 16v version from them and my cars UK spec manual transmission, maybe they've changed there stock since you delt with them benji.

It does have that stigma though. i'm not knocking it for how it drives/handles, its an amazing motor, but as alot of lizzies minus points were related to the cars image (too trendy, too boy racer etc) i thought it was worth pointing out that some people do have that view of the boxster...'oh, couldnt afford the 911 then?' type attitude. Its like skoda, dispite the fact that the octiavia RS won great critical acclaim and skoda is now owned by VW/Audi (it is isnt it? :wink: ) people still go 'but its a skoda!!'

Theres been alot of talk about the RX8 where i work, i think its going to go the way of the TT turn into a trendy car which to me reduces the desirablity. IMO the s2000 is lovely but dated, it wouldnt suprise me if it was replaced in the next year or so given the release of the RX8 and 350z. I've never rated Boxsters, they have that stigma of a poor-mans 911 but that said it is still a porsche. not very practical but i'd be looking at a lotus elise, fast, fun and not that common. I'd say a skyline, but then that will probably fall into the same catagory as the evo/impreza as being too boy racer. Toyota supra maybe? quick and a bit more practical....

I used to own a mk4 astra, and there was alot of interest on forums in that kit for the coupe, i think there's a company in germany who make something very simular. Not a fan of it on road cars really, it just doesnt look quite right out of the touring car environment!

its a custom job made by a company called A.C.C in newcastle theres some pic's on here near the bottom of the first post. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2882&highlight=gray+grey+16v

check out those alloys! :shock: thats 2 bargain GTI's in a few days, lots of cheap but worth it golfs about at the moment!

my camera does videos, i just set it recording then stuck me foot down! then i extracted the audio as an mp3. videos not very interesting, as the camera was sat on my passenger seat!

both looking smart mate!

been out this afternoon to try and record the sound coming from my engine, its just sooooo nice, though obviously i'm slighty bias! :twisted: the link's below in my sig | V

i've thrown the box away now :( if you go to http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk they have the 1.8 16v listed on there, mine came to about £60 with postage.

I drilled the airbox and put in a K&N filter yesterday, very easy to do and sounds awesome, feels more responsive too. I've not done the cold air feed yet, but i'd imagine that makes even more of a difference.

just been and done it, my god! the noise is fantastic, the engines always had a bit of a whistle, the combined with my exhaust and the induction sound..... :twisted: BWWWARPP WEEEEEE BRRRRRRAP! :shock:

recently resprayed red G plate valver with 89k on it? sounds almost identical to mine mate! a fine choice! welcome to the forum!

place your bets on how long it'll be before he sticks big bumpers on it :lol:

£150? you did well there mate!

:D how good are demon tweaks? ordered the filter yesterday afternoon and it was waiting for me when i got home from work tonight! thats well fast in my book!

K&N panel on the way, and i'm going to drill the airbox, got a full custom exhaust already :twisted: not sure about the 50mm inlet, it's more than likely standard, and i did read the thing about the cams, so that looks like it might be the way to go, cheers!

been talking to a mate about tuning and 'stuff' and she asked if i'd thought about 'stage 1' as she had it on a mini, and it was basically an air filter, a new needle for the carb and some manifold gaskets. She said it put the power up by around 10% and was fairly cheap. is this possible on a corrado? if so who does it, what sort of power hikes are likely and how much are they? ta chris (on a power trip ATM!)

nice one mate thanks!

best 2 mods i've done: lupo wipers and a full respray (cars not pink any more! :oops: )

I'm going to get myself a replacement panel filter, but i've read loads of post where people have been sent the wrong ones, so does anyone have the right part number for a 1990 1.8 16v? also, i know i've seen this on another post, does anyone have any more info on how to correctly drill the airbox? pictures would be good :D

is the heatsheild really obvious? i dont remember seeing one! :shock: can you see it looking down through the engine or would i need to be underneith? its definatly a sort of metal hitting metal sound, hard to describe really, sort of a loud BRR RR RR RR AP! noise. cheers for the tip though mark, deffinalty have a look for that.
