C5 oem .....great white hope

What an awful job that is. Those three 10mm bolts are a real pain. And that's not factoring in the strained back and neck.

 

Can't have a Corrado with a jippy spoiler though. It's secretly half the reason we bought one in the first place.

Well obviously with the front end design of the corrado you are always going to pick up stone chips and with my car living outside its attractive to the local cats..!!

 

So i decided to get some 2000 grit paper and flat the scratches out and touch in the stone chips...

 

Came up well, still a few bits more to do but happy with the results.

you need to strip them down further than that Andy, can still see the shine on them, they need to be completly free off all previous top coats at least mate

Really nice. There's something about the shape of the seats that just finishes off the interior.

those side covers look pretty faded, dont know if its just a polish, but i bought replacements from vw for reasonable money.

How much better do they feel in the corners etc, are they as comfy as the look? A perfect addition to your already amazing car!

I found my standard (cloth) seats held me better in the corners than my (cloth) recaros. I assume it's the same with leather. But I definitely find the recaro's more comfortable for normal driving.
