Chris 0 Posted September 30, 2008 i normally don't like tints at all, but those look really nice- very subtle. there's something about black cars that makes them take to tints very well. i think they look good - in all fairness i would have had difficulty noticing they weren't standard unless you had said. i would say keep 'em unless they are affecting the quality of your headlights.... sorry about your bad luck with the FPR lovely VR again - good work :) cheers bud, wish i had the fundage to pull off the bigger conversions some of you guys are currently doing, makes my effort look alittle weak not to worry about the fpr, replaced it shortly after. it didnt just solve the running rough as feck + over fueling problem, it also sorted the long crank over issue ive been experiencing since day one. Looking good, was thinking of doing that myself. What did you use? Might be worth getting a smoked front numberplate as well. never thought about smoking the front number plate, i was just gonna do the rear one, maybe ill look into that :salute: . i just used one layer of lightly smoked laminate film (good stuff) so keep the tints then :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete_griff 0 Posted October 15, 2008 looking good buddy :) nice tyres - i found the t1-r's grip nicely but wear out like buggery if you drive it hard - hope they last longer for you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Awesome work mate, car looks great! I'm looking to do the exact same thing to a valver as soon i sell my polo! I might have to rethink the colour now though!! By the way, did u declare the Vr conversion to insurance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 0 Posted October 18, 2008 cheers guys looking good buddy :) nice tyres - i found the t1-r's grip nicely but wear out like buggery if you drive it hard - hope they last longer for you... i know, kinda wish i'd held out and bought some different ones. on day one after fitting the rm's i had to sort my power steering out, after i drove away i could see i'd left half the tyres on the road, they are mega soft Awesome work mate, car looks great! I'm looking to do the exact same thing to a valver as soon i sell my polo! I might have to rethink the colour now though!! By the way, did u declare the Vr conversion to insurance? unless your getting your hands on a solid, silly money vr i would advise you to really consider the vr conversion, if i hadnt been pretty much given a vr for free i know exactly what would be in there now.........ends in 32 :) dont get me wrong though, i love my new vr, its so smooth and sounds like a dream, but the r32 is much more refined and to say i have an r32 corrado would never fail to put a smile on my face :D the vr conversion has been confirmed with my insurance company and to with the dvla. as for the colour, black all the way for me, ill put up with the tough photo shoots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted October 18, 2008 I'm trying out the Potenza RE050A's at the moment - probably one of the most expensive tyres I've bought - but are well recommended - could be one to try next... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted October 20, 2008 The R32 conversion costs too much mate, more than double that of the VR conversion... just not possible being a student and what not! Whats next for your Rado? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete_griff 0 Posted October 21, 2008 The R32 conversion costs too much mate, more than double that of the VR conversion... just not possible being a student and what not! Whats next for your Rado? my r32 conversion has cost me about 2 - 2.5k all in by the time i've had the wiring done/got all the other bits done that i need. the only thing is that i am redoing a whole load of other bits on the car at the same time, so my costs have "escalated" to say the least! - i guess it is a corrado after all! the 24 conversion is cheaper to do as you can pick up the engines for about half the price and that's for a decent one too...

Abdul 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Did u fit the engine yourself mate? Everyone i speak to says 5k drive in drive out for an r32 conversion and 2k for a 2.9 Vr.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
