ChrisL 18 Posted August 30, 2013 As I see it, I like watches and it was either buy another watch or a nice set of rare wheels. Either way they aren't going to loose money. If I bought an expensive Omega and decided to sell it I wouldn't get the money from anyone who didn't appreciate the value of a watch. Does that make sense to anyone except me????? Dare i ask are your old wheels going up for sale ? Could well be...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could well be...... I've never lost money on a set of bbs's...... Took me ages to finally get the tyres fitted on my new rm's..... The tyre fitter was nervous when I turned up with them in the boxes....!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisL 18 Posted January 21, 2014 Its whats behind the engine, the gearbox and the subframe that needs sorting. The croosmember is still as good as when I fitted it last year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1272_el_ex 0 Posted January 22, 2014 That looks stunning. Never really appreciated the shape of the corrado until recently. Colour really suits it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 18 Posted January 22, 2014 Got some new bits from VW heritage today: Not sure about the power steering bottle though as I expected it to be whiter, its more a green colour? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted January 22, 2014 That's normal Chris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 18 Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks James, makes me feel a bit better if thats the colour it should be, the bonus was it came with the cap!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted January 24, 2014 That brake reservoir got me excited enough to get one ordered… we just need to find some transparent brake fluid now so it stays looking like that.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted January 24, 2014 do you mind if i ask how much the brake reservoir was? Nice fresh bottles always lift the engine bay imo, and yours is already at a superb level that mine could never even think of achieving! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
