If it were me Id refurb the wheels and not paint em white. Maybe be better to sell those and get some new whites?

 

Nice car tho, Id maybe go for a black debadged grille aswell if it were me :D

Yeah.. don't paint them white. It just doesn't work that well IMHO! I'd get them refurbed definately, but would keep them silver or a slightly darker shade of silver!

nah i love the azev wheels, think they suit it really well. Probably wont get them done white as it may look a bit to chav like for my liking. Im definatly swaying towards a refurb and gun metal type respray. Already got a debaged grill on the way and hopefully just bought a leather interior for it to!

Looks in good condition mate! But do agree with the guys, wouldn't spray them. A refurb for sures.

 

Good luck with it and look forward to seeing how it all works out for ya!

Sweet looking Corrado :) Don't go for white on the Azevs. Red cars with dark wheels look lush - anthracite or black would look awesome!

Very nice... tints are bit OTT and not sure about the DTM tailpipe but other than that 8)

 

Always nice to see an engine bay thats been looked after. IMO says alot about the owner and how they'd treated the car

[Goldie 2]

Nice engine bay and the Azev As are lovely, enjoy....

[g164rge 0]

DTM is the style of upswept exhaust....

[richroberts 0]

oh see see. Hopefully it polish's up a bit. im not sure on it either, but got other plans for it first. Want a leahter interior!!! 8)

That bonnet isn't sitting right in the pic mate, it's likely that it's just not been closed properly or something, but check it out all the same!

Looks good - I say keep the wheels silver - Anthracite just makes them look like they need a wash IMHO

Cheers Goldie was just about to explain myself!

its just the bonnet resting not fully closed, ive enquired about that and got sent the pic below. Pick it up monday and cant wait. My last car was a 1.6 escort, hows the speed and handling going to be compared? Ive been on a motorbike for the last 4 months.

Looks good. I'd change the pipe from the top of the header tank to the radiator though. that one looks like it's been pushed over the end of the existing pipe and cable tied on. Not massively watertight I wouldn't imagine.

[richroberts 0]

any chance you could circle that on the pic as i cant see where your looking.
