Blackberry 20vt

[odub 0]

I picked this one up around a month ago from Karmannski

 

 

(sellers pictures)

It is a 95 2.0 16v in fairly good condition, especially the interior. Just a bit of bodywork to sort out but nothing that detracts from the car.

 

Since collecting the car it's just sat in the workshop whilst I've been sorting any niggles and fitting some other parts.

My Borbets are on replacing the original wheels with winter tyres

 

 

TT wiper arms fitted

 

 

 

 

I've replaced the knackered glass with blue tint, still heated

 

 

 

The bonnet catch was not fitted and with sheared bolts, now refitted

 

 

 

 

My vdo gauges I bought about five years back have finally seen daylight, all wired in and working well

 

 

10mm hubcentric spacers on all round to get get a bit of clearance for the Brembo stoppers

 

and the best bit

 

Front end all blacked out using lamin-x and black grille badge

 

 

Uprated loom in and hidden up, with genuine plugs on it and Osram Night Breakers

 

 

 

and finally for now, KW coilovers on to replace the shocks and springs with a bit more of a drop

 

Any comments or questions, fire away

Nice, where did you pick up the mirrors? Stick on or clip on?

They have their own backs and seem to fit well

I've been in the workshop sorting out the ride height today

 

 

 

The front arches are 585mm from the ground and the rears are 590mm. It's looking fairly low and I think I may have to roll the arches

Looking very nice... have you got anymore info on your Lamin-x front end

[odub 0]

thanks for the comments. What would you like to know?

Just wondering where you got your lamin-x from as I'm thinking of doing mine after seeing yours.

[odub 0]

A company called Funk Motorsport. Service was good and the lamin x will look after the lenses well

Glad it went in good hands. Looks happy.

Thanks Luk, next on the list is to sort the bodywork in places, figure out the abs fault (hard to do when I'm not driving the car yet) and get the alignment sorted. Currently the front wheels are on maximum negative camber

[odub 0]

A few more small updates

 

Red rears are on

 

DDI gauges with matching backlit face for the vdo dials in the centre consol

 

 

I'm just biding my time until my 20v is ready. Wil focus on some bodywork next up

[misterbeck 10]

Red rears are the looking great. Do you know where i can purchase from, or do i have to customise existing?

[karmannski 0]

did you manage to figur it out What was wrong with ABS?

These are standard lights with red lamin-x over them, I've had them for years and recently found them in a box. The film is pretty good but there are a few creases on the edges where the corner of the lens is. Not noticeable unless you are up close and looking right at them. I'll probably get them professionally sprayed at some point

I haven't looked yet, thanks for the reminder

[misterbeck 10]

Thanks Odub. I see that this american site does Corrado overlays for $25.00 if you don't want to spray or tamper too much with the OEMs. Ship to the UK too.

Not completely sure what the Slotted, Square and Solid options are though. I am guessing that the "Solid" would be the

option i am after.

You'll want to order some amber led bulbs too so the indicators aren't pink

[misterbeck 10]

Thanks Odub, do you know where i can source them from?

[odub 0]

I've bought these which seem to do the job

Hopefully they will last ok
