Any pics of the car finished on the coilies? Can't see the finished stance.

Thanks Jay. hope you are well..

Hello and welcome (see it's your first post). I would leave them silver as this does complement the dark colour of the car. Referb and paint spray or could go for powder coating.

Nice car. Well spotted there with the side repeaters one is above the side moulding and one is below??:scratch:..

Hello and welcome. From here in Yorkshire. :wave:

I would try trawling the UK on the internet i am sure you will find a breaker who would deliver. Found this....http://www.stevensvwspares.com/ Im sure someone on the forum would be able to help as well.

Me Thinks thats a good idea you have there. Will be in touch as soon as i get the cash. TBH i was swaying towards AP's. My son has them on his MK6 golf gti and the ride is ok on this car. Having said that the Corrado vr is lot heavier than a golf. So it would make sense to take you up on your offer and see how they are, thats very kind. BTW Where did you buy yours from Mr A5?

Reading your post you have covered everything that is obvious. have you checked the tyres, seating of the wheels against the hub? A long shot but just thinking out of the box. :shrug:

Just don't want to make a bad choice as there are so many on the market. Obviously when your on a budget as well. As always you only get what you pay for. Cheers for your comment Hairy. More feed back would be good. :thumbleft:

I have been looking into taking mine off the car. Looking at photos with them removed does look good. On the other hand they do actually stop rubs scuffs and knocks to the door panels. Reading the first post a car ran into the side on the motorway and resulted in slight paint damage and sacrificed the mouldings. Would it be correct to say that if they were not on the car at the time that there would have been a more damage and a much bigger repair bill? Not so sure now as my car is my daily.

Found this from the good old USA, might guide you in the right direction....http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112899

Woops double post sorry Mr Admin Delete this post. Blonde moment :bonk:

I am now ready for some new suspension on my VR. Rears are very tired and are starting to weep oil. I am Currently looking into these sets of coil overs. Not sure what quality they are, but they both are in the budget i have. Would be most kind to have some feed back. http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/volkswagen/corrado/apex-rdx-coilover-suspension-kit-corrado-18-18-g60-20-29-vr6-0988 http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/volkswagen/corrado/ap-coilover-suspension-kit-corrado-18-18-g60-20-29-vr6-0988 http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/car-parts/volkswagen/corrado/fk-highsport-coilover-suspension-kit-corrado-18-18-g60-20-0189 :shrug::shrug::thumbleft:

Cheers. Had a look still £385. I have read some reviews on ap's, just hope they are ok. My budget is around this price tbh. Your car is looking good love the wheels.

Can i ask the price on the AP coil overs and where you got them from?

I watched this last night what a complete Cowboy out-fit. The garage manager was full of s**t. The way he treated the lady driver was shocking. The owner was as bad all you got off him was a wheel barrow full of bull s**t and taking the camera crew round the place 3 times. Then had the point blank cheek to tell the BBC after asking for a refund, "it was bad luck and a refund was not possible". If it was me he would have got my response...See you in court.

Keep it !!!

Eyup and welcome fellow shire man.

Agree. Also right on the paper. "Police are aware so Smile for the camera !"

This is different for all of you are into cycling...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CORRADO-RACING-FRAME-WITH-CAMPAGNOLO-CHORUS-HEADSET-/231352672839?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Women_s_Fragrances_PP&hash=item35ddb1a247

Have a read of this thread. http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?111879-Coilovers-grease-the-threads!

Thanks for that Jon. I also read that someone had bother with a melting fuse, and to up rate the fuse to a 20amp. Would this problem be with every car? but reading between the lines it was just a problem with this particular car and not a general issue/problem.
