All ready got some of the RS771 but in 6.5J - think I just prefer the old skool 4 stud styles - also big fan of the Sebrings. Or if you posted because of the BBS RS split rims on the group photo yes I like them but don;t like the added lip just the way they came out the box. Oh also like don't like the price tag they sell for upwards of 2k ha.

When you mean the centre cap do you mean the ronal black circle or the whaffle. I do think the black circle could be a better design. Im just wondering if it pops out for a VW or BBS badge.

I love BBS Rs so I love the centre caps. If you look they have a lock for the caps as well which is a bonus as these get robbed a lot. Would be great if the M3 E30 had a stud pattern of 5x100 not (5x120) would just poke out the BMW cap and replace with a BBS , although they are 15 and 16 is what I like on a Rado. M3 also has a one unit cap that you cannot pop out for a BBS.

That's whole point though Fen if you look at the BMW version it has different style centre cap ( RS ) and straighter slimmer spokes, all together a much better alloy wheel IMO, also 1J wider and a wider lip. these Ronals are 16 as well

I've got my eye on them ha !

Been looking at some BBS RZ the BMW version and unfortunately they are 4 stud which is perfect for a 4 stud Corrado. Have seen the BMW version on a 16V rado and they looked the business ! Corrado stock BBS RZ 4x100 15 6J (4stud) looks like a none split version of the BBS RM (including centre caps ) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Bbs-VW-Golf-3-Gt-Special-Alloy-Wheels-6x15-4x100-ET45-1H0601025L-Ra-433-Rz/174139746301?hash=item288b89a7fd:g:0bsAAOSwwgVeB6t0 BMW E30 stock BBS RZ 4x100 15 7J (4stud) looks like a none split version of BBS RS (including centre caps) also has straighter spokes. All round a much better looking alloy wheel IMO . The centre BMW circle cap can be changed out for a BBS. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-BMW-E30-BBS-BASKET-WEAVE-ALLOY-WHEELS-4X100-MADZA-MX5-RENAULT-CLIO-CORSA/113734168527?hash=item1a7b15afcf:g:5gcAAOSwJUBd4xEc They also made the above BMW RZ in a 15 5 stud for an E30 M3 but a stud pattern of 120 x 5 . So no good for a Rado VR6 5x100 So in my plight I have managed to find these. Ronal LSX. 16 7J 5 x 100 optional offset 25-50 Quality German company that actually now own Speedline alloys and are OEM manufacturer for alloy wheels for BMW etc. (no cheap knock off from China). They make another version which is a popular mod for the MK2 golf the Ronal LS which is 4 stud and GTI engineering used this alloy all the time on their upgrades. Ronal has history back to the 60s and also Racing. Looks like BBS got all the glory. So the Ronal LSX is described as the modern version of the LS with 5x100 and 16. Question is has anyone got any pictures of these on a VR6 because they are ticking all the boxes and £566.00 a set so not ridiculous money. They look like the BMW RZ so just what I was after. https://www.ronal-wheels.com/int/lsx-sfc https://www.performancealloys.com/checkout/cart Thought peeps ?

Nice figures you just need these to finish off the car Shaun wink ! https://www.lkperformance.co.uk/wheels/ronal/578-urs-silver/14-inch?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIperCqIin5wIVmK3tCh04GQvdEAYYASABEgLstfD_BwE

What figures is your VRT running Shaun ?

I just hope they work mate purchased them second hand and wont be fitted late this summer, they did have a bit of a rattle and I pulled the bulb out and eventually the rattle was a bit of solder that I managed to get out. Time will tell. When they were for sale at Heritage a few years back I would of snapped a set up !

Hi mate, Im based in Sutton Coldfield, when your cars complete I reckon we should have a Midlands meet and go and drive some roads around Malvern and Ledbury.

These look even more like the Corrado Recaro Recaro LS https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RECARO-LS-LSb-seats-the-Pair-Leather/264529584394?hash=item3d9731210a:g:kq8AAOSwSK9dyWxf

Good that they came with the loom because a lot don't. 1k is a good price these days.

I want black leather chap too match my rear seats. Have you the link for the cloth ones wouldn't mind a look at them though, thanks. Thing is Sean apparently black Recaros are a solid 2k now so do you go for the new or old, food for thought. Folks forking out 1.5 k for them and then spending upwards of 1k to make them good. This company in the UK say they make them , picture is for illustration purposes. It says extra for sliders, I'm going to ask them is that including the metal centre beam with the holes in. https://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/shop/racing-seat-harness-roll-cages-brands/planted-technology-seat-frames/planted-vw-corrado-seat-bracket/

Thanks Cressa. How much did yours cost ? I did notice the Recaro heat elements are still available amazingly, not the case for stock leathers though. Annoyingly doing some research I saw some for sale in 2018 (Black leather) in my home city and seller was asking £600.00 grrrr! I also saw a post on the GTi forum from 2006 talking about recaro and they said Corrado ones at the time were cheap as chips grrrr ! I think a lot of them ended up rotting in modified Mk2 golfs . If a good set came up that were black and didn't need re trimming and were about $800-1K I would be tempted but otherwise I would go for the Recaro modern version of them, you can get electrics added but I would be happy with manual as less to go wrong and no loom to source. Its low on the priority list at the moment as I've called Vince and his booking my car in for a full rebuild , will also get my VDO gauge pods fitted at the same time. Having the bottom end rebuild with bores honed out to 3 litres and new matching pistons and full head rebuild. What are the guides to running in a new engine on VR block . not over so many revs in how many miles on the clock ? Cheers.

I'm going to put two cable ties together and put it on the bonnet cable. dangle it on the inside of the grill and leave a small circle on the end of the cable so I can hook it through the grill and pull on it which should release the pins I guess in an emergency ?

You can use an Audi 80 trumpet (same part number as Corrado) ready available off ebay if that has failed, also classics have now for sale the trumpet that does not have the screw. Member Easyposps member on here use to sell the cables I thik. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-UR-QUATTRO-TURBO-COUPE-80-90-COUPE-B2-BONNET-CABLE-END-CLAMP-811823555/303370573947?hash=item46a24b987b:g:7QkAAOSwwO9eFeGQ https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=443823597A&order=relevance&dir=desc

What specialist would you go for Pfnsht ? Color fabric etc ?

From my research you can still get these called (seat well) from classics. No 2 on diagram No 3 is obsolete although there is a new old stock for sale on ebay for one side of the car. http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1995/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/881/subcategory/184010/part_id/0/lang/e I would just be happy with a manual seat to be honest, not sure I would even be bothered if the seat adjusted up and down. Think its just one of these thing buy some old stock frames and take them to a fabricator and I want this . Would be great if you could get them off the shelf. There are two sets of Stock Corrado Recaros for sale at the moment and they look like you would catch the plague off them. Still 1.1 k - 1.5k I might even call the recaro main dealer in leicester I imagine they have a crap load of contacts.

I'm sure that is the way to go but would be great if you could buy the bases.

I've also noticed that on VW base seats they have a metal beam underneath with holes in to lock your seat back and forth for leg room etc, cant see them on the seat base. Damn would be all over the Specialist Small in black leather and black Recaro script writing if you could buy these bases. Would 100 percent need to raise and also back and forth agreed. Just don't want to spend 1.3k plus on some 25 year old worn Corrado Recaro seats, when the specialist S is the modern version and brand spanking new.

I'm on eibach springs (25mm to 30mm) eibach b4 shocks with 16s and 45 tryes, more harsh then I would like to be honest, is this why folks say speedlines are the best choice, is the ride a lot softer on 15s ? In my opinion you have absolute no choice with a late VR6 then to lower, looks far to high from factory and wrecks the whole look of the car. IMO

Guys do you think these will fit ? They look low and looks like you just bolt the seat on ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PLANTED-SEAT-BRACKET-FOR-1988-1995-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-PASSENGER-RIGHT-SIDE/371882729042?fits=Model%3ACorrado&hash=item5695f01e52:g:q1MAAOSwB-1YuxYN https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PLANTED-SEAT-BRACKET-FOR-1988-1995-VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-DRIVER-LEFT-SIDE/192120111030?fits=Model%3ACorrado&hash=item2cbb403fb6:g:vyEAAOSw4CFYuxVx

Tyres should be 205x45x16 . 40 especially if lowered will-be a well harsh ride . No need for spacers they fit perfectly, they are 6.5 J wide same as stock speed lines . RS771 are size 16 not 17 hence trye size 16. If you have aftermarket callipers that are wider than the stock callipers then you will need spacers as the stock callipers only have a couple mm spare.

I've got a very expensive year ahad with my Corrado to be honest. Got a complete engine rebuild to do as started to drink oil a few months back and the smell of burning oil. Also found a rust patch on the underside rear drivers arch corner where it meets the underside of the rear bumper. . Its bloomin cost triple then my golf to get up to mint. Sometimes you do feel like just cutting your losses.

I know the front and rear bumper bracket bolts are now obsolete(also one of the front brackets) , Heritage have got some aftermarket front bracket bolts and charging loads for them! Also the front splitter frame bolts are obsolete!
