knottyedge 10 Posted October 20, 2014 The ones on there are those paper thin fake pressed plates Ive ordered some proper pressed ones as I have some on my golf and the look great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairyarse 10 Posted October 20, 2014 Had two new tyres fitted today on the front, plus they fitted my adjustable camber bolts for a tenner - happy days! Had a full geo check and setup done again too. It rides so much nicer now, I think the front tyres were just old and hard. Hopefully it will sort the tramlining. Before when I went to overtake on a single carriage way, when you crossed the centre line the car wanted to veer all over the place! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stereoflaver 0 Posted October 20, 2014 Going for ones like these They'll look good in the Wolfsburg surrounds. I've got period 3D look with honeycomb background (illegal now) but they are getting tatty now and would like to replace them with the same I've got. Do you have a link for yours ?

What a difference a little geometry setup makes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portent 0 Posted October 28, 2014 Looked at it once more in the garage and realised I've not driven it since I changed the oil and filter a couple of months ago :( I'll charge the battery tomorrow and take it for a blast later this week :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marks2 0 Posted October 28, 2014 Well for me this should be the what have I done to my Corrado over the last 365 days thread. So far this year i've managed to drive my G60 a staggering 24 miles. This makes a grand total of 224 miles in 3 years. Maybe I need to re-consider if I should keep it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
