panels and springs

Recommended Posts

I'm just changing over my mk1 panels for mk2 ones and was wondering if the Mk1 bonnet can still be used? I've got both I just like keeping my options open. And I was looking at coilovers today and wasn't sure what was best for my limited budget ( the rest is going on the respray ) I looked into the Vmaxx but I've heard alot of mixed results. Any Ideas?? Thanks Kieron

Mk1 and Mk2 are best referred to, in relation to Corrados, as early and late....

 

Late bonnet will fit all cars AFAIK but the early bonnet won't fit the VR due to the bigger engine size.

 

Suspension boils down basically, I'm afraid to say, to 'you get what you pay for'. Typically the more you spend the better it gets. Occasionally a £200 set will out-perform a £300 set but IMHO you need to be looking at £500 minimum in order to out-do the ride from a standard setup (ignoring agricultural ride-height).

that makes more sense. I've got a early 16v so I'm guessing the bonnets will be fine which ever I decide to ride with. And I think I'll wait a little bit longer for the coilovers till I have a bit more money or find a decent set second hand

do late wings and bumpers fit early cars, baically could everything from a vr6 fit a 16v? bumpers, suspension, wings, bonnet? what else would i need to change if i had both cars at my disposal and was converting the 16v to vr6 spec?

 

thanks, sorry if its been covered
