Reflex silver Golf 4mo - pics added

[Goldie 2]

Me and my old man went to an all types classic car show today in Sunderland. There were all sorts of cars there, E type Jags, a variety of old Fords, MGs, Triumphs etc. There was a very tasty 3 door cossie which i would love to have taken home..

 

Heres a couple of pictures of my corrado flying the flag. I was really chuffed with some of the comments that people made, people really do like our cars..

Hi Michael,

 

ya cant beat a nice clean knob mate, well thats what my missus says :lol: but seriously the little touches like those will make all the difference 8)

Thanks very much Phil, very nice of you to say so....

 

Slight update, new rims, possible so long as they arent gone by the time i get north again. Not RSs, just something in the mean time, think i might try a few different sets on the old girl.

[Goldie 2]

And new rims, not got these on yet as have just got them back from refurb. Have had them done in an Anthracite grey which looks darker than in the picture. Really pleased with them apart from one area which looks abit oversprayed but i know im picky..

looks well,it will suit the green nicley.

[KADVR6 0]

Mmmmm not what i was expecting in the wheel department mate, yeh they are nice enough alloys BUT, they are "not you" if you know what i mean.

Need some BBS if you ask me...... :wink:

 

The colour does look better in the daylight.

[Goldie 2]

I know what you mean Karl, but i fancy something a bit different, they dont have to be permanent and you could buy 5 sets of these for the going rate of RSs...

 

I thought you might say Graeme.... They are a nice dark colour in reality..

[coullstar 0]

Get some photos up as if I dont sell mine Im thinking of going for the same colour on the BBS.

[Goldie 2]

Earliest will be next weekend but its not that likely, just get them done, you know theyll look good..

[StormchargedVR6 0]

Nice rims mate, always liked the TTs on the rado :)

 

Whats the weight like :?

[Goldie 2]

Im not sure what they weigh mate, they do seem quite hefty..

 

These may be on at the weekend..

Got my eye on a set, but fully polished 8)

[Goldie 2]

I think they are polished from the factory Shaun although ive seen sets that have had the full bling treatment..

 

I reckon they will be great for brake clearance..

No these are full bling :lol:

 

Its brake clearance is what i've got in mind mate :)

[coullstar 0]

Plenty of clearance on these. 312/R32's fit no problem obviously.

[Goldie 2]

I didnt get a chance to bring them home to fit them so no pictures, may be after christmas now..

 

Do you reckon R32s would go behind them?

[KADVR6 0]

i think you will/may struggle to get the r32 brakes behing these wheels as dont forget the r32 discs are 340mm?? in diameter, and the r32 callipers are bloody huge and i mean bloody huge :shock: and also the 3.2 TT's etc etc all had 18" alloys not 17".

 

and also they weigh an absolute ton, they have gotta be nearly twice the weight of a 312mm set up.

[Goldie 2]

Well, the R32 lump has changed hands to Mr Herisites as some of you will already know. Just didnt feel that i could justify the spend on getting it fitted a the moment.

 

If im being honest an ad has been drafted for the car as life situation means that it may have to be moved on. Ive no doubt that wont be the end of the Rado disease as i will end up with another at some point and can have all the fun all over again....

[KADVR6 0]

that will be a real shame if you do sell it mate, BUT for some reason i have had the suspicion it was on the cards :(

 

i/we will miss you if you go.

 

 

karl

[Goldie 2]

Ill not be going anywhere mate, just kind of approaching a needs must and i want a nice slow sale as i wont be giving it away..

 

Im sure ill end up with another further down the line, or a MK1...
