After reading alot of other posts about bush replacement it looks like i'll have to invest in a vice of some description and take a course of steroids. No doubt it'll be worth it in the end, just need to overcome the 'fear' of fecking it up, and having to get it towed to a garage :) where they'll point and laugh

Is this true? or are you yanking our chains? :) I know my wishbone bushes need doing, part of the advice from the last MOT, I might aswell replace the whole lot I think, is it going to be a nightmare doing it myself? How much would a garage charge d'ya think? questions questions always more questions :)

After 13 years of driving I finally succombed to getting some 'big' wheels, I needed 4 new tyres on the speedlines and thought what the hell! One trip to Elite later and i have some 17" Kosei WK 105 rims wrapped in toyo t1s rubber. They're a kind of dirty chrome colour which changes slightly depending on the viewing angle. I thought they complemented the car colour. My other planned mods have been taking their time coming into fruition, I've had a weitec suspension kit sat in my hallway for over 6 months!!! So I need a kick up the behind to put it on, although I quite like the 'Baja' look :wink: Just purchased 288mm front discs and calipers from Marc C, cheers mate :) who knows how long they might sit there tho.... Eug.

Looks lovely, nice job on the polishing :)

Looking good :)

This has happened to me before, I used a slightly smaller socket and tapped it over the lock nut (Carefully!) :wink: and then undid it. It helps to use a long extension bar when removing too HTH Eug

That's a great christmas pressie :) I think most people would place the new tweeters in the dash, just for ease of fitment but also it's not a bad location for setting up the car's focal soundstage, bouncing the sound back from the windscreen.

I just bought some of that roll for mine :) Part Number: 3A0 867 201H £5.54 + VAT HTH Eug

It must have been colder than I thought the other day, after lifting my wiper arms to clean the blades they both snapped at the arm linkage!!! So I thought it was about time to get this mod done :) , took a trip to the dealers to get two lupo wiper arms. Got a shock when he said they had them in stock! :crazyeyes: 5 minutes later I now have some better looking wiper arms and can now look forward to seeing where I'm going. Part numbers used V6X2 998 406 (two of) @£17.36 + VAT Eug

Is it wrong to like the Citroen DS? Those swivel headlights... The single spoke steering wheel...

Yes despite me wanting to see a Ghia :D your car looks pretty tidy I almost bought a G60 same colour before I bought the VR Good luck with her Eug. 8)

Me three! :)

I picked up a vibratechnics front mount at inters and fitted it last weekend, it made a hell of a difference, gear change was better, engine response seemed crisper and brakes seem to have more bite, I'm extremely happy with it, there was nothing wrong with the original either, what a difference!

hmmm, I diven't like the sound of that!! abs sensors falling off :shock: *puts on my thinking cap* the wheels would have looked excellent... :x

help anyone?

Many thanks to Graeme (biggrim) Lindsay Porter manual arrived this morning, cheers dude! :) Eug.

hi biggerbigben! okay the wheels offset are et30 *praying they fit* cheers Eug

Hello all, I need your help again. I want to know if mercedes wheels will fit on the vr6, the ones i want are 8 x 17's and I know I have to have an adaptor to get them to fit on the vr's hub but this is likely to be a minimum 20mm spacer also, which means that in effect the wheels will be more like 9 inches wide, right? Will they fit, are there any cost effective alternatives if they don't?

All the info you need is here http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10443&highlight=4+stud+5+stud HTH Eug. :)

I think halfords have a sale on...

How does the black plastic surround come off? Any ideas, can the mirror itself remain in situ? I undid a screw underneath the mirror and tried to pull it off but didn't wanna break anything so I thought I'd ask you wise people :) I want to colour code them but don't want to damage em !!

I love those wheels :D I love how subtle the mods are too, you should be v proud of her.

It's blackberry metallic although in those pics there is a hint of the sherry pearl about it :?

I've owned the corrado for four month's now and just getting the bits together to update her slightly. Barring the powerflow exhaust she is completely standard. Bits replaced so far are outer cv joints and link arms, and just plugs and leads. I don't plan on doing anything radical to her, just subtle mods here and there, including uprating the suspension, changing the bushes too and new engine mounts while i'm at it, (picked up a vibratechnics front mount at inters). So here are some photos of her last week and I plan to add more when the changes take place. :) cheers Eug. :)
