Sweet m8.

how ya getting on with the ride of the car

[MikeVR6 0]

Hi Cheesy,

 

Really happy with the ride. :D

The car always handled well, even with 3 shagged shocks. :shock:

 

Now it goes round corners like it's on rails

 

Best £160 I ever spent 8)

 

Just need to get my new Reg (B16 VWC) sorted out and on the car.

Very nice car mate.. the alloys suit your car really well!

 

Great stuff!! :)

[MikeVR6 0]

Thanks Jim.

 

They're 16" Speedline Chronos.

Bought them with tyres for £450 second hand.

Only 2 weeks old! The guy bought them for his Golf and didn't like them!

 

Thought Speedlines would be in keeping with the Concours look, since they were fitted to VR6's.

Mike,

Your cars looking fantastic now. 8)

Only seen it briefly flashing past thru town since the new suspension. Nice to see pics of it. (surprised I missed the post 'till now :? )

(you always seem to find great backdrops to shoot against too :D )

Thanks very much guys, glad you approve.

 

Didn't use any coilovers. Just took an angle grinder to the springs :D

 

Seriously though, lowered the car using a Vipertech Dropshox suspension kit. Don't know of anyone else that's used this kit, but I'm happy with it.

 

The front grille broke my heart, though it does look nice. Cost me nearly 200 quid including paint :shock:

 

Took the pictures around the coast about a mile from my house.

 

Haven't seen you about in a while Chuck. Is the Corrado still going?

 

Heard a rumour you were buying a Mark IV Golf??

Hey Mike.

Yea C is still going strong. I'm out in Bangor loads at the mo too. Tho I never use the bottom end of the Airport road past your place now - what a mess. :evil:

 

Dunno where you heard about the golf tho?? :? I would never part with my C. :D

[MikeVR6 0]

Anyone good with photoshop able to do me a favour please?

 

I've bought a private plate "B16 VWC" and would like to change my photos to reflect this.

 

I'm completely crap with all image software :mad:

 

Cheers

Mike

Interior looks sweet as. Nice touch on the handbrake lever. Is that a factory leather interior, or have you had it re-trimmed? Looks pukka.

[MikeVR6 0]

Factory leather all the way.

I'm not made of money :D

 

Gotta love those heated seats, especially this time of year :shock:

Today is a sad day

I've sold my beloved Corrado after 3 years of ownership. :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

Of all the cars I've owned in the past 10 years, this has been my favourite and I'm sorry to see it go.

 

Had to sell it to finance my next motor

 

WATCH THIS SPACE.......... :wink: :wink:

[Bally 0]

Shame you had to sell it Mike, so you what you got no then??

[MikeVR6 0]
