massbad69 10 Posted October 31, 2015 You're making nice progress with this. I had both my grille badges black on my vr. Thought it looked good. Thanks a lot Quite fancy doing all the rear badges black as well but I will need to buy other ones first to spray up along with the front VR6 badge. Meant to say, when I had the grill off I cleaned down all the metalwork as always to get it minty fresh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted October 31, 2015 I did that too. You can get the rear vw badge in black. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corrado-Genuine-VW-Rear-Trunk-Boot-Badge-Emblem-Black-Nos-/300992818115?nav=SEARCH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portent 0 Posted October 31, 2015 My Storm grey VR6 has a black badge too :) I have some good speakers (forget which) in my Audioscape door pods. They are running off the head unit and I think they would benefit from a separate amp instead. The sub in the boot (left by the previous owner - not really the sort fo thing I would add myself) is good though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted October 31, 2015 I've just ordered the Alpine speakers all round that are OEM fitment so will pop them in once the car comes back from the bodyshop in a couple of weeks. Then I will look at a new headunit in black to fit in better. Thanks for the black badge link I will buy that now. I will keep my eye open over the winter for the rear Corrado and VR6 and front VR6 badges for spraying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted October 31, 2015 Removed the badges from the rear and gave them all a first coat of matt black but also ordered new silver badges for the rear as well to keep the originals. They will stay off just now until after the year once the car has had a full paint correction and detail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted October 31, 2015 Front black sprayed VR6 badge on now and I think the all black front grill goes well with the Grey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted October 31, 2015 Nice! Thanks I like the black badges. Ordered new Toyo Proxes for the Speedlines as I've decided to keep those wheels for the forseeable future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted November 1, 2015 So now ordered black paint for the calipers and carriers which should fit in nicely with the black and grey theme. Spoke to my mate yesterday and he told me to get the small blister in the stonechip on the drivers front wing removed now, so I've spoke to the bodyshop and when it goes in next week, all being well that should be cut out and repaired, the tailgate blister the same and all the side dings popped out, fingers crossed. Once it's back then I can get it up on stands and have a look at the rear brake rebuild and see if I'm capable of doing it :shrug: Although I'm tempted to change the wheels I've decided not to, so I've bought new tyres BUT I was thinking about spacers all round to pull the wheels out a bit ? 25mm all round or what have others used ??

massbad69 10 Posted November 3, 2015 New OEM fitment Alpine speakers arrived for fitting sometime this winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted November 3, 2015 Hopefully ordered my last winter parts as the car needs a new balljoint and possibly a new drop link, so ordered a pair of each up. My tyres arrive tomorrow but I will leave the car sitting on the old tyres through the winter and put the new tyres on in the Spring. I think the short shifter and passenger regulator both arrive tomorrow as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted November 5, 2015 So popped the old rear Nokia speakers out and put the new Alpines in which was straightforward. Can someone tell me if I need to remove the full front door card for the door speakers ? Also do the dash speaker grills just pop off to get in to change them ? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
