Always bear in mind that you have a car that 99% of people on here would utterly love to own, and I think you can be proud of all the hard work...

 

Yep, precisely. Any critiscm is meant to be constructive and to prevent any of your moments of inspiration taking you down the path to the dark side of modding 8)

 

At the end of the day you can tell us all to p1ss off anyway, and do what you want to do regardless.....but as is the way with this forum, if you ask for opinions, you get honest ones back.

OSV, did you have headlamp washers?? Just noticed the big tank like mine.

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Looks like a normal tank to me.....

[Supercharged 2]

Yup, you can tell the big 7 ltr tanks as it has the cut away around the fan relays.

Thats what i like to see!!! Brand new is the only way to go on a C now there all over 10years old and your planning on keeping it. Car is looking beautiful, as usual.

Cheers Lee, I take that as a compliment from someone with your standards. As my car is essentially complete and how I want it I can afford to take my time on the odd minor tweek and as you say new is the way to go whereever possible.

How have you polished the outer rims ? I am re-furbing a set of wheels at the moment and I'm doing it by hand, 600, 800, 1200, 1500, 2000 wet + dry then G3 for polishing, but I need to buy a drill bit or 2 as my arm is about to fall off! lol

 

Car is looking as good as ever btw :D

Looking nice as ever, RS' will look great when you've finished.

Quick question for ya, your red rear lights seem to have a perfect colour match, were they sprayed with the red tinting spray or red paint ?? Forgot to ask you at E38 !!

Must be a trade secret 8)

yep :)

No secrets here :lol: I've been out of the country for a while with no internet access. I'm soorry I can't offer too much help as I sourced my dishes from Germany already polished as I needed a inch wider OE rim for the rear.

[ToffeeRado 0]

Very nice! I never see silver corrado's in person but I did see one this summer first one in 3 years, the last one I almost bought. I love the new wheels I plan to get a set of RS's one day :D

Re Red Tints:

My lights were done professionally by a Porsche specialist bodyshop called MC Concepts, they were based around Stoke at the time IIRC, bu I undertand they moved to the warrington area. They made a first class job, but with care and many light coats you can get a great DIY finish using tinting spray and T cutting to a shine for a factory look finish.

in the process of doing mine. They weren't finished for the E38 show, but now I have the color right I intend to flat them back and get a nice shine!

Cool - i done mine with 4-5 coats of tinting spray but not happy with the finish, still looks a bit orangey when the sun is on them. Maybe i'll give anther brand of tinting spray another go, just wondering if red paint (and pin striping) would work.
