    Ok i have these alloys in the garage!

    Im definately wantn them in black for just now, when i have the money i can get either set properly polished!

     

    So what do you think?

    im steering towards the TT's as they'l be different as every1 has them polished and i think the chunky 5 spoke design will suit the corrado?

     

    But then i also love the S3's?

     

    im stuck and there getting droped off with my panels tonight.tomorrow! :o :x

     

    heres some pics!

    Ok wee update, Roll Cage is just about in!Seats are having to come out tho. Cant wait till its in though! :D

    Coilovers should be on and Callipers should be all red by end of week.

    Wings,bumper,door and bonnet getn picked up on friday and 'should' be ready for Sunday. :?

    Im giving up on TT comps (living up to the lazy attitude of a student!) and letting the pros polish them,My wallet will be £300 lighter though! :cry: :roll: Gutted! however there will be a wee trick im doing with the comps which should make them different to all the TT comps that are goin about at the mo. They should be ready by the summer.

     

    So looks like ill be using the S3's for just now,not sure weather to keep them original colour or go dark mettalic grey? :? Im open to suggestions!

    All this modding im forgettn the heater controls and bonnet catch need fixed too! :x

    I now have a mk3 golf Vr6 Backbox which i got free of a college friend and will be using it along with my £11 DTM backbox to mix n match, yep sounds very dodgy but jobs being carried out by welders who work for the MOD!

    4 weeks left too!

    :shock:

    £1300! Amazing - the millage on the VR should be no problem as mine has done 229k miles now and is driving beautifully - i got it off ebay for £2500 - but urs in even cheaper - good move, cant really go wrong at that price - do you do much millage - is it a daily driver?

     

    Not really, im looking at a mk3 turbo diesel to keep milage and running costs down!

     

    trev-b Where were you on sunday?Scottish Vag meet?

    There will be a wee gathering of corrados tonight at the regional edinburgh meet! check it all out:

    right this is FAO who ever has had the exhaust lip and tow eye removed and smoothed over from there rear bumper?(Jay?)

    How much does this rougly cost? i know wherever i go prices can totally fluctuate!

    And the rear exhaust i take it just gets custom made to face down towards towards the road?

    TIA

    Bonnet catch has got very loose, so i remember reading somewere off here that there was a part(tensioner,clamp,etc) where you loosened off the bolt and pulled the wire through and tightened up the bolt again,thus tightening the wire, however the wee bolt snapped on me! :mad:

     

    Im drilling it out and already made a mess, can this part be bought? Could some1 check etka,etc?

    cheers!
