    the 'wide look'

    Spacers push the wheel out a bit, whereas adapters change the patten, 4x100 to 5x112 for example. And they space too, as they take up some space to do their job ;)
  2. Available at your local VW Dealership.. ;) Mk V Golf "Twin-charger" GT
  3. Dip in general... I was offered a MkIV '03 reg for £5k the other day! C's aren't very good winter cars either. They'll climb again in value when the weather gets better and people want some more fun on the roads.
  4. The UK is pretty pathetic... Bit of snow and report of snow drifts, and motorways closed.. Bit of rain, and we flood. Motorways close. Bit of sun, and the tarmac peels off. Motorways close for resurfacing. And we're ripped off majorly on car tax, fuel tax, congestion tax.... *sigh*
  5. They all have a lot explained to them when taking their tests - doesn't mean they listen though. Tail-gaters, excessive speeders, parking, you name it... These people do it every day and can't remember. What's the chance of them remembering for the 3 days a year we get snow?
  6. Reminds me of when I saw a van reversing up the hill around the corner from work. For about 1/2 a mile! It was so low on fuel, he had to go up the hill backwards for the catchment in the tank, to get him to the top where the petrol station was :)
  7. I still remember a couple of winters ago, taking about 30 mins to get up my road (normally a 30 second drive!) and at one point, getting out of the car, whilst it was still in 1st, and chatting to someone, holding onto the door, whilst the front wheels span on idle in 1st ;) S'all fun! :D
  8. Was loving the roof of the car park this morning. Also offered to move my boss's MkV TDI. Excellent sideways hand-brake action! The MkV's ABS is very impressive in the snow. Puts the C to shame - which just does nothing!! (Disabled mine for winter!) RWD's are a lot worse in the snow. Especially with viscous diffs. 3-point turns end up being 21-point turns, as the car goes sideways at slow speed!
  9. Slimline V8 anyone? That might be more interesting. Yes, pants power from a 3.5litre, but the SOUND! :)
  10. http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.p ... eplacement
  11. They only need doing if they actually are worn. My C's on the original chains and is near 208k miles!
  12. Hmm, think that was a little bug there... 10093 times! lol
  13. ...........thus proof that GT4 is pants, and so is the PS2. Viva la Xbox!
  14. This has been discussed many times before - also quite recently. If you have after-market lights, both sides have reflectors, so you can have two rear fogs which look the same. Please use the search! Locking.
  15. I agree with Christ, erm, I mean Chris (same birthday, I get confused) here. I have the carbon plates, without the background, and its a nice subtle mod that takes people a few looks to notice, then when they do its always an 'Ooh'. I have a closeup imae in my album. The electrical tape is hiding what was written on the plate (another optional extra) as it got half cut-off by the corrado-forum.net plate holder.
  16. It's set to get worse than that, I'm afraid. By the wonder of the Search: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33483
  17. That'll be your old age, mate... ;)
  18. They're the In Pro Angel Eyes... just like mine...
  19. Ok, not sure I'd want to then - something will probably break! ;)
  20. Haha, done that before! Only, it was to get out of a space when I'd been hemmed in. Not sure the C, even with Mk4 Alloy rear calipers, could do it though ;)
  21. Jay, do you have a higher res. version of those pics? If it's cool with you - would like to put the rear one in the banner rotation.
  22. ...so even more annoying! (And likely to sheer)
