Callum33 0 Posted March 1, 2011 Bought this 2 months ago and now quite aquainted with it so thought I'd start a little project thread as a record of what I do with it. This is how I bought it with the polished Lenso's and wolfsburg badges all over it The lenso's were taking a beating over the bad weather so got a set of G60 steels cheap But due to the lovely potholes and the amount of miles I do it was only a matter of time before I connected and bent two of the steels so its back on the lenso's (although ive had both g60 steels repaired the tyres are shot so cba to change them back) Then came time to try and de-wolfsburg the C since the corrado didnt have much to do with the wolfsburg factory didnt make much sense to me buy each to his own bought a second hand rear badge and then colour coded it to the body work with the rear part matt black so it stands out slightly Then only last week I got rid of the wolfsburg wheel centre's, didnt fance a VW logo on them so went for something a bit different, not too everyone taste but I like how it turned out. Bought the stickers then applied and lacquered to hopefully prolong the life off them and thats it so far, well except from it breaking down twice already so its had a new starter motor and oil sensors to stop it leaking. but had VW's for a little while now so know they just want a money injection now and then to stay happy:D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callum33 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Haven't updated this in ages since im trying to rebuild my polo and the gf's lupo in the mean time. With money being tight only done a few cosmetic bits but I think they make a big difference First of all I got id of the old door handles as they were faded and looked messy with the locks which I dont need The replacement was some seat toledo rear handles that were a pretty similar colour and after replacing the levers they went on, the colour match isnt perfect but its close enough so you cant tell if your not up close and smooths out the look of the handles The next thing I replaced were the old wipers as they had been bent to try to get a better clearance of water as rado's are known for having crap wipers And so I decided to treat it to a Christmas present of a Storm single wiper conversion as I'd heard good things on-line about them So all fitted and works a treat along with looking much cleaner and less cluttered at the front. Next things on the to do list are to either upgrade the lights wiring loom or replace the lights all together as their so dull then maybe look to save up for some decent coil-overs in the new year, probably be hard though now im on the dole!

Callum33 0 Posted December 11, 2011 nice, getting there! not sure on the wheel centres. i like the number plates can you tell me where u got them and how much? Their a se of dubmeister.co.uk legal pressed plates although I got them at their stand at edition38 and cost £15 for the set which is a little bit less than online but I have got them before for other cars from them and they have always been very high quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callum33 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Quick update, finally got round to modifying a steering wheel I bought over the forums, I had originally painted it the same colour as the car but didnt like it so after one failed attempt yesterday and finding a can of BMW sparkling graphite paint in the garage this is what happened think it looks awesome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
