im just running standard power bulbs so i guess it makes no difference to me??

what was wrong with the wire? seems brighter than standard to me so im happy

We steal their wipers but what about the rest of the car?? I read that they were the only Gti prt MK2 golf to be any good..... so im thinking of buying one for my girlfriend. just wondered what your views were on them?

is that the ring spot light kit? looks exactly the same connectors as mine.... although im sure there are hundreds that look the same :roll: i havent done my main beam yet but the difference in the dipped alone is amazing! will do the main and maybe even the fogs when the weather gets nicer.

£22k for that kinda car is a bargin though you gotta agree

i read about that in FHM last month. It has a diamond in the speedo.... at an added charge of course :)

which part of them fit??? there is no way you can look at those wheels and say they fit! maybe on a porsche, because they put massive arches on the rear to accommodate the wide wheels (but if you wanted that look why didnt you get a porsche?) Each to their own (and may i say i hear your engine / gearbox and drive train are fantastic before you think im being nasty here) but those wide wheels dont suit the C.

ha, i love that reply. Bobbywhacker, if your confussed sometimes when they install a car radio they mistakenly connect the wrong wires etc etc etc basicly they cause the spoiler to stop working automatically.

ditto!!! sorry mate.. i can not stand those wide wheels that stick out that far and where the tyre is stretched so much to fit the width!

nice pic bally, is that yer missus???

50 - 90mm! thats quite a big difference! i havent seen too many of these knocking about on ebay either... wheres the best place to get them would you think?

lovely cars... whats with the amazing lack of boot space in the bora??? and why SI VWW on the boot lid aswell as the reg plate?

After looking at other corrados. i think mine may have the later, 'not as deep' front spoiler. Can this be changed for the deeper one as it looks a bit meaner in my opinion. Is it separate to the bumper or do i have to change the whole lot? thanks

what i mean is.... i like the look without the inner ring of digits (which on ours would be kph), obviously i know those are kph :roll:

whats to be unsure about? it looks pretty dark in that cabin in the pic and you can still see the dials ok. i love those actually. i like the clean look without the kph

for starts the wheels i want are 7" wide i did a diagram and with the hub mounting point as my reference comparing against the standard wheel, the wheels i want were no closer to the inner arch but 20mm nearer to the outer arch. after looking at the car tonight i dont think this will be a problem. would like to see pics of VR6's with 16x7 and ET31-35 ish ta (p.s the new coldplay DVD ricks!!!!) 8)

i guess i can try them and change them back if it feels crap. do you like the wheels yourself? or do you think im going to all this fuss for something that wont look that good? anyone have any other pics of these TT wheels on a C?

i know your busy and we all appreciate your efforts. BTW i think these look great http://www.dubdesignindustries.com/cata ... 0rings.jpg are they similar to what we will end up with?

oh and i wouldnt go mad with the tyres... 205/45/16 me thinks. same tyres i had on my old honda.

so these TT wheels are only .5 of an inch (12mm) wider that my current solitudes anyway. time to start some calculations...hang on..pencil and paper and ruler out (like being at school again) so the current wheel is 6.5 inches wide (165mm) with ET 46. so from the hub mounting point i have 35mm to the front of the wheel and 130mm to the rear of the wheel the TT wheel is 7 inches wide (178mm) with ET 31. so from the hub mounting point i have 52mm to the front of the wheel and 120 mm to the rear of the wheel. from my rough diagram the audi wheel would sit another 20mm out compared to the solitude. the back of the wheel is 9mm in compared to the solitude so at least it wont hit any suspension stuff back there. 2 cm is quite a long way really isnt it, especially when i lower the car 40mm ( i will put those springs on one day :roll: )

Hi again, I have been going back over old posts regarding offsets.... all way too confusing for me. Some people have said the offset should not change even if you put wider wheels on? so what ever size wheel i get it should always be ET 43- ET46? Good news is i finally got my head around the fact that the higher the ET number, the more the wheels tuck under the arch. can some one tell me the width of the bbs solitudes? also are there any other websites / companies that do replica wheels where you can specify the offset?

if you going down the supra root, what about an imported RX-7. or the Supra's younger, tamer brother, the MR2 turbo. My friend has the mr2 turbo imprted from japan and he hasnt touched the engine but it gives him 240bhp (i think, may be 250??). mid engine, rear wheel drive, the thing flys, and is fairly cheap to buy now, around the £5000 mark. parts are easy to get as its the same engine as the uk produced celica GT4 turbo.

hmmm, so basically what your saying is that the TT wheels i like wont fit that well. i wonder if i can get a similar looking wheel with the correct offset? how wide are the standard BBS solitudes?

so according to the volvo page, the higher the ET the more the wheel will stick out past the arch? so VR6 should be ET 43. a higher ET would cause the wheel to look like it was sticking out and a lower ET would cause the wheel to sit in from the arch. So the wheels im looking at, the 16" TT wheels with ET31 would sit in much further than the current ones or have i got the wrong end of the stick?

the civic type r doesnt kick because it has the newer i-vtec as does the S2000 (its a smoother transaction that you dont notice) the older vtecs (integra, prelude and crx) were alot harsher and more noticeable and did feel like a little 'kick'
