clumpy1 11 Posted October 12, 2014 Ha it does look brown with the light on it. Will look better once the Lacquer is applied Cheer's for the replies guy's, the Rc's need spacing out I do have some on the front but none on the rear in the pic's.I'll get them sitting right it's covered in the garage for winter at the mo but a couple of job's are lined up for over winter I've been eyeing up Cast inlet manifold's for a while now and with that possibly a change on the induction side as I could run a standard VR6 airbox with it just to confuse people more We'll see.

clumpy1 11 Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah I'm afraid I agree with OSV, debadged grill is a bit ...."king of the council estate" :) Right you calm fooking doon ;) I like to have shoes for all occasion's mate like I said I have a standard vw grille also have a brand new grille badge for it. The thing is I have a car that is not standard I am and have admitted before keen on non-standard part's I am trying to blend what I have got into as OEM as what I can muster/get away with I understand what you guy's are saying but at the end of the day it's got a R32 engine in there not everybody is going to like it but that's essentially what it is all about "Being Individual" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipVR 1 Posted November 5, 2014 Love the RC's, not a fan of RS's but I know I'm in the minority there! Looking forward to more wheel pics! I say each to their own on the grill, I've got a colour coded and black one, I prefer the black even though the colour coded is original on storms.

lilfuzzer 1 Posted November 5, 2014 Personally if you like the grill clumpy who cares what others think. A lot of people dont like my steels but to be fair it currently sitting on them almost 2k wheels and it doesn't look as good to me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are not the only one regarding the RS's I'm not saying I am of that persuasion what I will say is I am trying to get alot of thing's right and working together the RS's fit in with that. I'm like you bud I'll do it my way end of conversation :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I say each to their own on the grill, I've got a colour coded and black one, I prefer the black even though the colour coded is original on storms. RC's with the right stance are amazing. I know what you are saying regarding RS's as they have been done to death however on the right car again like the RC's with the right stance. As far as grille's are concerned I've got more important thing's in my life than to get anywhere near interested in being worried about what other's think about when seeing my car it may seem a bit abrupt but it's my car it's going on (that's not aimed at anyone I appreciate feedback from all) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted November 6, 2014 Just realised I had already replied to your post Kip I am a little excited 2nite as I've bought another car all will become clear soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted November 8, 2014 Ok folks I said I'd have an update well here goes I was a like Jim a little pi$$ed off with my car and I've only had mine a couple of years now (12 Jim you deserve a medal) Anyway I bought another runaround as the Vectra despite not putting a foot wrong just wasn't doing it for me. Here's a couple of pics I'll get some better ones when weather is better.

robrado974 1 Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks for making me feel old , I remember these being new ! . Can't be many left now James . I was driving around in the Corrado the other day and saw a Opel manta GTE , haven't seen one of those on the road for years ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KipVR 1 Posted November 8, 2014 Wow clumpy, isn't this a case of frying pan to fire!! Not my bag but I can see the appeal!! Congratulations You getting those ch reps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Cheer's Rob I remember them too!!! Commander's there are only a handful 5/6 it's so good to drive. Cheer's Kip I know it's not everyone's taste but they are soo easy to fix compared to the Vectra christ it's got 4 Lambda sensor's!! It is very comfortable and no to the CH rep's it's staying completely standard £112 a year insurance fully comp agreed value can't complain. The Corrado is going nowhere it's the fair weather car Commander for the rest :) Edited November 8, 2014 by clumpy1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted November 8, 2014 Bloody hell James - I'd forgotten all about these, haven't seen one for years. Had an SRi myself, oooh about 20 years ago now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted November 8, 2014 Well one of my mate's is a mk2 cav nut and even he is severely impressed with it even though it's not his bag (CD/SRI man). There may be some that say oh it's a bit basic that's the charm of it to me non pas non central locking no rear seatbelt's wind up window's but I tell you what it is more comfortable to drive without being wallowy than the Vectra. So cheap to fix/run everything about it it's all original 51k mile's all mot's full main dealer service history and in a couple of year's will probably be worth more than my Corrado :scratch: That's life for you think you have it all figured out then it take's a massive D*** on you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
