Attached the grill this evening! It's a shock at first but its definitely growing on me already... looks sh*t in pictures imo and in evening with flash in camera but it'll give you an idea, will take more in full daylight tmrw! P.S anyone fitted this style of grill before?I'm having trouble figuring out where to fasten the grill with the screws... i think its thru the tabs but maybe someboy has input?? Cheers, John P.P.S gotta wash the car it got wrecked behind a truck today :( covered in dirt! I think when the car's cleaned up and shiny the grill will look much more appropriate also!

I don't understand exactly what you mean... like getting the doors done somewhere else and then putting em on my car with the mod done? :oops: Also, who are the top bodyshops in your opinion? Cheers, John

Hey Lee, been watching the corrado's progression over the last year but never really bothered posting, needless to say it's looking awesome :) I saw a similar mod to what you've done with your door handles on a Golf around 2 years ago (are they audi handles?) and attempted recently to ask the same modifier who did it to do the same job to my Rado.... his answer was: No f*ing way, that job was a nightmare could never get the door to open after it was locked, forget about it! ( http://www.fcauto.com was the guy...) Presumably I should just look for another guy to do it or is the job fundamentally flawed? Cheers, John

Grill didn't arrive yet ( Was hoping it'd be here yesterday! P.S When I took the pics at the start of this thread everyone said it needed lowering. That was the first day the new springs/shocks were on and now, after a couple days driving it seems the car has gotten lower with a bit of wear! Is that possible?

The yellow springs are the KW lowering ones that I jave yet to put on, the pictures on teh car are the KW shocks with new standard springs...

Nice Corrado, haven't seen many in that colour, personally not a fan of the grill but that doesn't mean it's ugly, each to his own... I'm putting a chrome rieger-style grill on my grey corrado tmrw http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39598 which definitely wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea! :)

very nice :) particularly like that colour, very rare... check out my C and let me know what you think :) Cheers http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39598

Hehe thought so myself bout the "bling" :D Well it cost around €100 off ebay so won't cry too hard if I don't like it but I do think that a Grey Corrado is capable of handling a bit of shinyness due it's generally very dull appearance... getting nervous bout putting it on now :-P

Cheers for all the comments dudes! I think I'll throw on the lowered springs over the next few days and see how it feels... As regards the chrome grill and rear lights? Any opinions there? I should have the grill tomorrow and will post pics of it on! On anything other than a grey/black corrado I think it'd look bad but I'm curious myself to see how it turns out on mine. Still undecided bout lighting too, oh wel!l P.S who are the best manufacturers for the custom rear Corrado lighting anywho?

Thanks man, I have 4 brand new KW -40 springs but chose against putting em on because of the shite roads in Ireland! I do agree that lowering it would indeed make it sexier tho... :!:

Oh yeah forgot to mention I just this weekend put on a KW Suspension Kit! (NOT Lowered) Here are some pics of the upcoming mods/mods done!

Hmm the [/img] thing didn't work 8) Oh well here's the rest of the pics!

Hey All, The name's John, I'm from the Republic of Ireland. Not Posted really on the forum but been reading topics for over a year! Here are some pictures of my Corrado which I've owned for over 2 years. It's a Metallic Grey 1.8 16v which I hope to someday uprate to a chipped 1.8t 20v but if a good vr6 lump comes my way I will do that. I like the original corrado design so I have done few mods, however... Here's the list of work I've done SO FAR: Full Respray (Removed useless plastic side skirting) Replaced Headlights (cost €400 from VW!!!) Replaced gearknob with a carbonfibre/aluminium one Replaced rear ugly grey badge with a spanking new chrome one (today!) Replaced Battery Replaced Head gasket (Skimmed Head..gone through 2 of em :( ) Replaced Fusebox Uprated Wiring Loom (didn't help really....input anyone?) 17" Compomotive RL-Silver with Toyo 205/40 tyres (recently replaced front 2 tyres with federal 205/40's) Sony Flip head unit and 4 6x9's UPCOMING mods: Rieger Style Chrome Grill (see pics...should arrive in post tomorrow will post more pics of it then!) Clear Rear Lights (maybe??...input??) Xenon Headlight bulbs replacement Leather Retrim (when I start working full time to pay for it 8) Any opinions or input on suggested mods would be great and let me know what you think of my Corrado! :) Cheers!

Thanks for advice guys, the MK4 idea intrigues me... It's possible to put MK4 callipers on the rear, straight swap or needs modification?

Hi Guys, just got home from driving my brother and GF home (1.5 mile drive!) and when I arrived at the house my rear left brake disc was so hot it was GLOWING red! I checked for friction but couldn't see any occurring, I rolled the car along to see if the calliper was locked up and it was fine (as far as I could see).... Any ideas would be a great help, thanks alot! P.S I'm not new to the forum but just haven't been on in a while :?
