    Side trim

    Use 'white spirits' (won't effect the paintwork) & elbow grease. Allow the white spirit to soak into the old tape & it will come off a bit at a time. You will have to reapply the white spirit after each rubbing Stick the strip back onto the car with a general purpose double sided tape
  4. A lot of very subtle mods Amazing... looks better now, than ever
  5. Taken from a post I copied a while back More influential on the braking will be the pads you choose. It's tempting to pick sports/semi trackday pads but these can often need warming up before they start to work properly, meaning that you could find yourself with *less* braking capability when driving around town - not good! Stock VW pads are fine as they have plenty of bite, but you'll find something like Pagid fast road pads are very similar in feel, but cost a lot less than VW ones. I used to run a Zimmerman/Pagid combination on my VR6 which was fine, including trackday use. You can get that stuff at German & Swedish for something like £32ea for front discs and £26 for a pair of pads. Make sure the pads are 14mm, not 19mm ones as the G&S computer sometimes recommends the wrong ones for a Corrado and the 19's won't fit.
  6. That looks a good site, cheers 8)
  7. Yeah... I don't think there ever was any .29 VRG. I was looking for that a while back I'd go for the 'G6 OSF' as well

    Voltage stabilizers??

    Where are they advertised?
  9. And I thought I was dedicated... not exactly the warmest job to be doing in those weather conditions either. Looks great... respect!

    Car Graphics

    Good decision reaper1_3, I design & apply graphics for rally cars etc. but I wouldn't dream of putting anything on mine...
  11. Good memory Joe... heres the link http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... indicators
  12. I remember there was a guy from America who made clear front fogs & indicators for the c. I thought they were good quality but they looked a bit out of place on the C (because they were too clear in comparison to the C's headlights). He put up pics & prices on here but, didn't get much positive feedback with them at the time. IIRC they would match those angel eyes headlights very well. I tried a search for his post but no joy... anyone remember?
  13. The full red ones are only available from Carlsberg :lol:
  14. Yeah, I can't see them either :?
  15. Lively debate going on here then... just read through the thread :lol:
  16. I think it looks good... the only thing that looks like a C though, is the back lights :)
  17. Just off the top of my head... Replace all suspension bushings with OEM ones :roll: Fit some kind of soundproofing (Recommendations welcome) :scratch: Complete re-trim in black leather 8) Fix an oil leak somewhere around the gearbox :indiff: Fix the sunroof :mad: I'll probably add to the list as the C is now locked away for the winter.
  18. Cheerss for kepping us up to date guys. 8)
  19. Sorry about the accident m8... at least everything seems to be working out alright for you in the end 8)
  20. Don't know about that Joe... I used it on my VR & it just clogged my ISV (among other things). I wouldn't recommend it
  21. Just a note for further reference... 304 grade (aka Food Grade) stainless steel is the most common grade available these days & will discolour outdoor. The premiun stainless steel to look out for is 316 grade... :oops:
  22. Looks very neat'n'tidy Glenn... lovely car. Have you plans for any little tweaks or you keeping it standard? Nice location for the pics too btw
