Just a few pics to add - Newly retrimed in black suede With the Corrado badge replaced New OMP Corsica wheel, well impressed with it DDI clocks to modernise it, a bargain at 24 quid off the bay

What rubbish wether we've had for the past few days lol :'( , but never the less achieving has been done Well heres what the C looked like Wednesday, fresh back from the paint shop and outta the rain in my garage :lol: WOOOO HOOO no letter box, amazing repair work i am really impressed with it Old units V New FK units :clap: Sat lookin pretty, 20mm spacers had to be used lol. still need to level it out 100% but we had to call off play it off due to the heavens opening! The rear brace is from a Mk2 golf picked it off ebay for the pricey sum of £12 BNIB :norty:

Had my rado done 2 days ago and noticed yesterday little white bubbles in the front bumper. Guessing its due to silicone or water thats been under the paint. Contamination is a massive problem in painting, 85% is prep and the rest is a blowover tbh. Least my painters redoing it free of charge. As for the paint dryin different around filler thats aload b*%$ox :lol: , ive had a fair skim on the C and the paint looks ever so slightly better on fresh skim than i does on 15yr old metal haha

My 2.0L 16v, mid process of cleaning and tidying it. So W.I.P :clap:

Hi all, reet ive been on here abt 3 months or so. Time for a build thread. Bought the corrado at end of April this year. Been wanting one for abt 3 years now and could only just afford one as a weekend car. Insurance has fun raping me still been only 23. lol :( So here she is having a snow foaming - couldn't believe how well she came up after an hour soak and a good clean and rub down. Got the c home and started inspecting it. found the odd bitta rust as per usual, pffft it was nothing Buttttttt. . . . this i wasnt expecting lol. Not so bad looking eh? Well a quick bang with my fist and TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, we have a letter box :epicfail:. Turns out some numpty had whacked it full of filler and a J cloth to hold it in, not the best thing to do :nono: So began the strip down lol, but first a quick service. Just to be on the safe side changed a few things and added KR cams. So oil change, filters done, gakets and oil seals done, sump gasket and sump painted and timing belt changed, slipped 3 teeth whilst changing it lol, was well on its way out! by the end of day 2 of ownibg my first C it looked like this Left alone for a week i had the itch the following weekend. Under the bonnet needed cleanin and brightening up. So off came the inlets for a clean and paint up. So the C then sat for another week as i didnt have time after work to achieve anything, Sat morning got straight out and installed the new rear sparco brace, looks better on as this was a crappy phone pic :gag: :gag: I then unfortunatley got messed around for nearly 4 weeks by my original painter who didnt turn up on 2 occasions and then didnt respond to calls :scratch:, must not have needed the work lol. So the car sat untouched. I painted the rear lights all red and trial fitted the new seat to be installed. reet the rados away for paint, should be back next week sometime. :clap: Got these propa cheap from ed38, FK AK Editions :notworthy: , not even taken outta box and at half the rrp, a steal imo Thought id throw in a few twistss wi the rado and go brite lol, so had the Brocks refurbed. Diamond cut lips and Lotus elise bronze centres. F$*%in amazing colour in the sun IMHO. I know they aint gunna be to all ppls tastes :ignore: I love em! :clap: Sorry for the length of my first post lol, will be more pics and updates next week hopefully. And i'll get some pics up of my black suede headliner. cheers ppl

carefull use of a hot air gun, heating the trim up makes it black :clap: and then apply product to keep it up. Or so i have been told before lol

Sherry pearl and in for a full respray next week. Gunna be looing FRESH! :clap:

Its not servicable in a sense i dont believe although i could be wrong, i just cleaned mine out with carb cleaner and re-installed it. Mine ideled at 3.2k left it to settle and is now at acceptable levels. This was also after i changed timing belt and cams.

Well got some cheap FK high sports for the min and guna save up for Some KW V1's. These any good for a decent ride? or have i made an :epicfail:, lol

hot tunings a definate no no! mates got em on her polo and its the worst ride ever, units are solid and its like your back been broke over and over lol. I do like the idea of a shock and spring setup tbh, was looking into custom springs and shelf shockers. What kind of lowering do shocks take if i had custom springs made up?

Hey all need a little bit of help, want some coilovers but dont wanna pay over 250 really 300 at a push. not after a mega low ride but would like that option to be avaliable. Ive seen some JOM, VMAXX and jamex anyone have experiance on these or can offer any other options? cheers all :notworthy:

I have just fitted an early mk3 VR glass sun roof in my C and it appears to be working fine. Can anyone tell me if im goin to have problems, the 2 sunroofs are identical. I bought the full unit for 30 quid, what a bargain. cheers
