Bally 0 Posted March 3, 2006 looking good baz.. with a drop will look very nice! did you go for the P zeros in the end?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted March 3, 2006 mike_g60, it's in the first page mate! ... in need of a respray on the driver’s side. At the same time I decided to have the rest of the paintwork done, so everything matched! It went to Crash, based in Corsham [nr Bath] who did a pretty lousy job first time round. It went straight back to them and in fairness, they were very quick to rectify the faults. I bought a pair of deseamed wingmirrors and these were sprayed and fitted at the same time.. Bally, yup, got the p zero's.. to early to tell if they're any good, but already found out i cant have anyone in the back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Looking nice mate, good choice of wheels there eh...? :lol: just gotta get yourself some flat centre caps... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWizardofOdds 0 Posted March 5, 2006 What a transformation.I think the Corrado should have come with Borbet A's as standard(where did you get them?).I do think that it would look the absolute conkers with the original rear lights though.Sorry,but I think those style of lights make an 'old' car look even older.I think the rear cluster(is that the term?)is one of the Corrado's strongest points.I hope I haven't offended you with those comments,but I really like the comparison in colours with the lights on a blue Corrado. But then,it's not my car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted March 7, 2006 gradeAfailure, cheers mate! yup, the hunt for flat centres is one of the next jobs. TheWizardofOdds, I got the borbets from german ebay.. they dont come up to often in a 17" though! Interesting about the lights, ive been toying with putting them back on after seeing Furki's at the weekend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dixxy 0 Posted March 9, 2006 And if you don't mind me asking... how much was the re-spray?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted March 9, 2006 And if you don't mind me asking... how much was the re-spray?? most of it was covered by insurance, so no idea what they would charge direct. however, its worth getting someone to crash into you if you can! I'll def be at NR next month. would be good to all go down.. PM me nearer the time and we'll arrange meeting point etc. Furki, thanks bud 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bristolbaron 10 Posted May 4, 2007 May as well do a general update as im here, as i havent for about a year! Last summer involved chip/pulley, charger overhaul, KW coilies and a full stainless system all from Gwerks.. [feck didnt realise how much money darrens had off me!] the S/steel system is awesome. quiet for normal driving, but LOUD when you properly floor it!.. perfect. Last summer also saw my first foreign show, at Mania in Belgium. The show was great, drove after work on the saturday night, and stayed in brussels before driving to the show and then back home again the next day. Edition was the highlight of the calender last year, and the decider with wether im actually gonna keep the rado or not. As i have a company car now, i only get to drive it every few weeks and its still parked on road, so seems less and less worth having.. but thats not the point! Every time i drive, i get excited about it again, and as long as that continues, its staying with me. This year will see: new wheels, smoothed wings, big brakes and a 'controversial front end' all will be revealed at E38. Unfortunatly, i wont be at the show on the saturday, as being Sept 1st, that means new registrations so a busy day as im in car sales. however, my presence will be felt on saturday night! May the 4th be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
