  1. i'll have a 'WTF?!?!' please

    Wheel size

    you could probably ring a dealer and ask TBH! whatever the offset they should still go on, they'll just rub, catch the arches or catch the struts! :lol: cant remember which way around offsets work (it is 5pm) so i'm not sure if you can space them... lower number sits closer to the hub? is that right?

    PCD should be right but the offset might not be, i seem to remember them being et42 or something silly?
  5. and its not as 'muscular' since its pre facelift (or 'corrado lite' as i like to call them) ;)
  6. they look alot like ats cup's...
  7. try without taking off the slam panel first mate, i saw chrisvr6nos/noskey remove, fit a new one, test, remove and fit the old one in the space of about half an hour without taking anything off the front, its just a bit fiddly.
  8. what you on about chris, looks fine to me for a mock up! i'm sure bix wasnt going for photorealism!
  9. top man, that'll be a dealer job then, its just theres an ECP 2mins from work so i can pop in for the blue sensor on my dinner rather than waiting til the weekend.
  10. thats wife material right there mate... - edit - unless you're married already... in which case 'thanks darlin' will do ;)
  11. isnt 'dedication' just the word we use for our oddly obessive compulsive actions where our cars are concerned though?
  12. aye VAG part numbers ;) just trying to find out if the second one listed from ECP is the 'yellow' sensor
  13. no matter what headunit you buy the standard speakers will let it down badly. I'd consider one of the cheaper options and some upgraded door speakers if you're on a tight budget.
  14. just read this on the bbc news site... ---------------------- Chris Hunt, director general of the UK Petroleum Industry Association, which represents oil giants Shell, BP, Esso and Total, said a week's worth of petrol had been bought in one day. But he said the panic buying was a "blip", as "once you've filled your tank you can't keep doing it". ---------------------- er... isnt that how cars work Mr C Hunt?
  15. its the only shop in Nepal that sells jammy dodgers ;)
  16. holy mother thats a big image-map! :shocked!:
  17. i've an aversion to stickers and tend to peel them off! :oops:

    Morning!

    vr6 ;) 30mpg is realistic, not sure what the fuel consumption is like on a g60 but it cant be 'much' better than that, my old 1.8 16v only got 35mpg! depends if you want to modify it too, g60's are easy enough to fettle to vr6 power but its not especially cheap to do. 'little' amounts of money and running a corrado doesnt mix unfortunatly!
  19. desperatly need to get mine in for its MOT since its long overdue. why dont they post you a reminder like they do for your road tax??

    Morning!

    hello and g'morning! what flavour corrado are you going for?
  21. when i changed the perished o-ring on the blue temp sensor i noticed the metal face was tarnished, so i decided its probably a good idea to swap it for a new one since they're fairly cheap. I also want to change the yellow one since the water temp guage on the dash has never worked and as I understand it thats what the yellow one does. can anyone confirm that these are the correct parts to get from euro car parts? blue ones obvious but its the yellow one i'm unsure on, I hear they're no longer yellow from the dealer?

  22. suppose theres nowt to stop you sticking all your tracks in one folder, but it'll make finding the one you want harder!
