golddust 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Hi guys, I've got M3 mirrors fitted and the door mounting points smoothed so the mirrors are fitted to the black triangle by the window. Trouble is the M3 mirrors are at a strange angle when inside the car so I want to change them. Thing is without the door mounting points I can't go back to original corrado ones! Any ideas on what might fit? I wondered about Mk3 golf ones....? The ones on the New beetle are ok but too big! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Hello mate, I havent seen yr rado in MK!!! how long you had it? what mods etc you done to it?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golddust 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Hi, I've only had the car in MK for about 3 weeks, plus I don't tend to do the Saturday night McDonalds thing so probably dont see it on the MK roads that often! Anyhow, here's a rough list of what's going on: Nugget Yellow RS4 Bodykit all round Lowered 40mm 17" BBS Crap stainless exhaust (gotta go) 3 slat grill with eyebrow spoiler (coloured) M3 mirrors with indicators debadged, but Wolfsburg badge at rear and old side repeaters Black interior with Yellow Leather centres (want to get just black!) Delocked, coloured Mk4 type handles side strips removed I'll take a pic at lunchtime and post it here... Wouldn't mind meeting up in MK as I really need to look at another 16v engine to compare as I think I'm missing a vacuum hose on the airbox.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golddust 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Oh and I forgot to mention, under the bonnet it's got polished this and that and some plastic parts replaced with chromed steel, like the horizontal pipe in front of the head, rad fan housing etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

golddust 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Where abouts in MK are you? I'm a Furzton lad at present. Just thought, even if I do take pics at lunch I can't upload them until I get home anyway! Doh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bally 0 Posted October 28, 2004 oh right :roll: :lol: so did you buy the car already modded?? what BBS rims are they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted October 28, 2004 Sounds like you've got a nice C there that's been nicely looked after 8) I'll try and make it out to one of the MK meets sometime and have a look :) Just thought I should mention that C's weren't actually made by VW in Wolfsburg, they were made by Karmann in Osnabrück... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golddust 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah, I actually wanted a standard 16v in yellow but everyone I called was always sold before I rang! Finally I found one but it was modded :| Once it was obviously nice but last owner neglected it a bit so things are not what they could be.... Anyhow, I want to ditch some of the mods and improve on others. First thing to sort is the engine problems and lack of dash lights! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golddust 0 Posted October 28, 2004 I was wondering about the whole Wolfsburg thing.... It's a karmann interior which has had the centre panels on the seats redone in yellow leather (yuck). And I've found receipts for Wolfsburg badges in the history so I'm not so certain it was originally anything special.... As I said, the badges are in place of the VW one on the back, in place of the side repeaters and one beside the ignition. The side repeaters have be put into the M3 mirrors but I think I'd like to go back to standard with those as they look cack in the mirrors! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted October 28, 2004 did you get the car locally? all the questions LOL as long as you keep on top of things rados' are cool, cars!! a mate of myn has seen a low yellow rado in MK on black rims, not yrs is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golddust 0 Posted October 28, 2004 No, I got it in Slough. Might have been really dirty rims rather than black.... :oops: Otherwise, not me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always fit parts from more expensive cars :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
