Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted January 19, 2014 Oh no, don't get me wrong in the slightest, I've owned a Peugeot 309, Citroën ZX, Nissan almera, BMW E30, VW Golf mk4, VW Corrado , VW Polo GTI, Porsche 964 911, Lotus Elise, VW Passat and now my second corrado. I know that there ARE much better cars out there and I wouldn't call myself a badge snob. I just don't like vectras. I know how good a car they can be, hence I said it's a bit of a Q car, but each to their own and all that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clumpy1 11 Posted January 25, 2014 Just a small update incase anyone was thinking I had forgot about the R32,thing is how do you follow Goldie with his new rim's. Well it would have to be something shiny just before christmas I got a polishing set and today got busy here's the result's (really hard to get the pic's right anyway) [ATTACH=CONFIG]77260[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]77261[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]77262[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]77263[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]77264[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted January 25, 2014 My mate had a Vectra GSI some years ago and i was always a fan of the bumpers, those wheels are a very nice bonus also.. I hope you aren't blaming me for you spending on the Rado… How are you for room for the strut brace with the R32 lump in there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted January 25, 2014 Well after seeing Your car and ChrisL's at Stanford Hall I knew something had to be done to be honest the engine bay doesn't really need much attention but due to the fact the steering rack need's attention the easiest way to do that is removal of engine. While it's out it would be rude not to tidy it up a bit also the suspension will be coming off not really down with the coilover's there are a couple of other thing's and of course Wheel's which I'm sure will divide opinion's but hey ho it will be more my car then. As for the strut brace yes there is plenty of room just need to get some new shiny dome nut's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 20 Posted January 25, 2014 Well done on the polishing, you've got a really good finish on that. Which are these wheels your talking about, I forgot what you said before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clumpy1 11 Posted February 8, 2014 The BBS will be worth good money… sure you'll be selling them on.. I certainly will Micheal they are 8.5 x 19 5x112 and there is five of them they are Genuine not rep's with genuine carbon centre cap's if anyone on here is interested obviously not for a Corrado but anything else I do have someone who has first dib's at the mo but if interested let me know.

Sorry Sean what do you mean 50mm? if you mean lowering amount iam not totaly sure mate it's a Bilstein B12 kit which include's an Eibach set of spring's which may combine to provide what you are asking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
