My car looks best when viewed from afar. (It's that tiny 'dot' at the bend) :lol:

I know.... I was being a cheapskate. :grin: Phillips only cost me £18 from ebay, which is ¼ of the cost of Bi Zenons. Tried to take short-cut when changing the bulbs (i.e. not removing the headlight units) and failed miserably. Then discovered the screwdriver that I’ve got isn’t long enough to reach the middle screws. :lol: All sorted now. Car is running beautifully (touch wood touch word). I love it!

^^^^ Cheers for the comments guys. Just fitted Phillips X-treme; haven't tried them in anger yet. 8)

Watching BTCC at Oulton Park on ITV4 this afternoon , the camera caught a glimpse of a dark colour Corrado parked track-side. :D

While I was changing the light bulbs for the headlights, two alcoholics walked by and one said the other, ‘that’s a proper motor mate’, and he continued ‘it’s a f**king Scirocco!’ As they walked past and the chap saw the rear badge and said ‘it’s not a Scirocco; it’s a f**king Corrado!’ Highly amusing. :lol:

Be interested to know how it feels once fitted with the new 280 rear. Mine has only got 288 front at the moment so same as yours. :D

I'm not sure! :lol:

Yes it's parked on the left as you head south? Does look nice. That's the one!

^^^^ How cool is that! :clap:

Not much... Just 1 x 1 litre & 1 x 4 litre of engine oil.

Mad! Great work! :clap:

Anyone got a discount code? :D

I try to be careful on where I park my car... but sometimes there just isn't an option. :(

VERY NICE! But my Ice grey seems to be a bit lighter than everyone else's. :lol:

My car's bodywork is far from perfect, but still it's not very nice coming home from work and found this! :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:

Good man!

I like these but don't think they suit my very blue very purple Ice Grey Violet. http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=SP2116716AN&a=i#

Whereabouts do u live Kev? :D I HAVE FIRST DIBS! :lol:

Anyone got an Ice Grey Violet with non-standard, darker colour wheels? Please could you post a couple of pics? Thanks!

Exactly how I feel. The 4x4 ride height (esp at the rear) is kind of silly. :lol: I think a subtle drop of 30mm would suit the car better. Or, maybe what I really need is drop of ride height AND 16" wheels? :shrug: I'm just saving up at the moment for a set of coilover.

Cheers Kev! Next on the shopping list: - New auxiliary water pump as mine is toasted - New tyres cos my budget front tyres are just awful; noisy and bad grip - Getting the tiny rust patch at the wheel arch sorted - Getting the front wing dent sorted - New exhaust; mine is rotten! Just need to prioritise or win the lottery! :grin:

Spotted yesterday morning, a mint-looking Classic Green parked up in Small Dole (I think) near Brighton. I was driving past in my C.

The engine now sounds like a healthy VR6 should! :D

The stopping power has definitely improved..... and it may sound strange but the ‘nose’ doesn’t feel as heavy under heavy-braking. I haven’t upgraded the rear to the 280mm set-up as I’ve been told by many that the ‘improvement vs cost’ isn’t as drastic as the front upgrade. Bear in mind that I’m comparing the new set-up with new discs and pads (front & rear) against worn discs & worn pads.

Just had the following works done, courtesy of forum member ‘tandino’, thanks mate! - 288mm front brake upgrade - New rear disc & pads - New rear wheel bearings - Gearbox oil change - Bonnet cable fixed - Boot parcel shelf strap fixed - Driver’s seat tilt adjuster fixed - Diagnosed / fixed the loud rattling noise coming from the driver’s side of the engine - Alternator /Ancillary drive belt, tensioner / pulley & new water pump ‘tandino’ even washed my car! Top geezer! :salute: Also picked up a set BBS Solitude from ebay; they're in above average condition and I think I can just about get away with not refurbishing them. I plan to fit winter tyres on them so that's ok. Need a set of new centre caps though. 288mm Upgrade BBS Solitude
