You bugger, I love those wheels on Corrado's. Personally I prefer them to the RS's. I think I probably prefer them to my RKII's in fact. 8.5in is pretty wide though.

Prefer the RH's though ;)

the rs's are a factory 8 x 17" et32 so slighty different to regular rs301's. Mine taper in as you get towards the mounting face on the inside so i think running 312's would have given me more clearance because he carrier and pad would have been further out and also because 312's have a slightly higher offset and alow for more clearance.

Loving the car, first time I have had a proper look at it.

 

Nice work fella

Thanks i just wanted a nice set of one piece wheels to run that i dont have to worry about cleaning.

 

Heres pics of my bay, i have a few more things to do to bring it up to scratch, especially after seeing Leons over the weekend

 

I plan to wrap up the exposed parts of the loom, clean or change the bottles and i need to bring my hoses up to scratch.

Zak, stick the bottles in the dishwasher, they will come out brilliantly clean. If you dont want to do that, was them out with some soda crystals, still get a good result. Black mani looks cool :)

Thaks Hassan i'll give it a go before i try new bottles :)

Loving the winter rims, these are my next choice i think! If you decide to sell them can i have first dibs :lol:

Just noticed all that money on fancy rimmage and you havent even put Lupo wipers on yet :D Get some on :wink:

[zak 0]

cheeky :lol: I havent put aero wipers on so far as i don't like the look of them, they stand out too much. But now my standard wipers are getting worse and worse im planning on making the switch. Just have to do some reearch as to what to go for and where to buy 8)

 

Thanks Hersites, knowing me they will be for sale before Christmas :lol:

Wow!!! that looks stunning, my first reaction as i scrolled down was omg! (in a 14y/o girl stylee! lol) the wheels look spot on!

[coullstar 0]

Yep, there easily better than the RS's.

Wow, what an awesome looking Corrado, love it, is it original paint or resprayed? Looks mint.

 

Can you do me a favour ? Go and measure from the ground up to the centre of your wheel arch ?? The height looks perfect.

Mate that looks amazing.

[herisites 0]

[Leonard 0]

Thanks, i'll measure them up and post later this evening, i actually raised the back 6mm on the coilover threads from when i was running the rs's as it looked like it had reverse rake with the ch's Front end has been resprayed but the rest of the paint is original, its just had a good detail from my brother whos handy with a rotary. Suits me fine as if i ever had a respray i would be scared to drive the car :)

no problem :lol:

Naah. load of crap. Hate the car, hate the colour, hate the rims, hate the paint, the whole lot. In fact i hate you too Zak.... :)

 

 

 

 

Looks brilliant as usual, i think mine can drive right over yours as its still on the standard shocks with the airborne ride height. Get li'l bro on the case for my car some time!

What did you do to your intake, is it only spray can paint, or?, and did you sand it down before or what? (Have to do something with mine closer to summer, so would be nice to know), maybe also what color it is? (Have blackberry as well and it looked very good...:) )

 

cheers

I enquired about some CH's once for mine only to be told they didnt do Corrado VR fitment???

They look awesome Zak.

[zak 0]

They did the CH 006's which were 8.5 x 17 et35 5 x 100 which would be a direct fit but i've never seen any for sale?

 

Mines are CH 003's which are 8.5 x 17 et35 5 x 112 fitment, ive got double drilled hubs and discs so run both 5 x 100 and 5 x 112 pcd so they bolt straight on.
