Well, I installed the smoked In-Pro's today.

Started peeing it down just as I crimped the last wire, so they're not quite lined up correctly and no photo yet.

I've booked the car in for my driver's side wing to be resprayed and blended, plus I'm having the 'Corrado' badge removed from the rear (as rust is bubbling up under the spiked bit) and de-rusted then smoothed and resprayed.

All whilst I'm at work and for £250.

Not bad I thought...

It's more likely the glass has been replaced with a non-heated version.

£4 non-heated

£60 heated.

I know what I choose when some twit smacks my mirror...

I meant the taillights, but I fear Mk4 HIDs or something are on your mind for the front after seeing my bright ones!

You've just gotta do one better, ain't ya... ;)

Including VAG-COM X-Men-like super-sensing :)

Schweeeet.

(Though surely you'll have to splice the Corrado bulb-holders onto the loom from the Mk4 lighting circuit... Unless you want Golf clusters! I assume in typical VW-style they'll be different ;))

the 24v fits in a treat, no harder than a vr6, you can bin most of the mk4 sh1t off it and treat it just like a 12v.

The whole point is that he wants to link it all up with his Audi TT dash, which likes the Mk4-y-ness ;)

You should receive 4 issues of the Sprinter per year not 6. Circumstances beyond the CCGB's control have meant that you've only received 2 in 2003 (#28 & 29) and 2 in 2004 (#30 & 31).

I've been a member for 2 years now.

I've received 2 Sprinters.

Both in 2003 AFAIK......

Any back issues? I haven't been able to email due to the 'server' walkout...

OSV, ok, well if it works, cool :)

Just saying its not the de-facto answer as will depend on how heavy the tint is

Then you don't have wholly red lamps - so some un-filtered light gets through...

Sorry peeps - but basic physics means that Red being a primary colour and being the filter - it won't let any other light through.

I doubt the 'Green' bulb trick will work.

I asked this question to one of Jen (my g/f's) theatre buddies who is a Lighting Director in the West End - he said its not possible...

I've just got back from holiday to find mine in the 'Post' pile - thanks Tempest :)

Haven't unpacked them though as I doubt I'll get them back in the box.

Shall fit and take the obligotory photos tomorrow if it isn't weeing it down. :)

Pull the switch out of the dash and unplug the loom from the back of the switch?

If your switch is buggered - break the little legs on the switch with hold the loom in to make it easier.

Kinda easier (and, erm, more obvious!) than removing EVERY bulb...

Then just plug the switch in when you need your lights on.

I drove like that for 2 weeks until my new switch arrived...

Is there any reason why the grey VR6 one says GSixty on it?

Might wanna change that!

And when you do, I'll have one ;)

As for their email - doesn't seem so.

And I get more response mentionning the forum to insurers now than I do mentionning the CCGB!

How else do you expect Ant (Bananaman) to do all the work on my car? ;)

I think I just got used to mine always being 2-notches being well-on. It's lengthened a bit in the cold weather, so you need 3 really, or 4 if you want it very tight indeed.

Get a dulux tester.

Cheap = free.

But won't last long... lol

It will make the handbrake alot better, there's an improved mechanism using the existing cables

Don't rely on it too much though.

My car managed to roll itself off the drive and into the middle of the road when I thought it was well-on on the handbrake! :oops:

Phone call from my neighbour "Dude, is you car supposed to be in the middle of the road?"

Halfords sell specific brake-caliper paint.

I have their red stuff on mine.... seems to do the trick :)

How about having 'corrado-forum.net' on the bottom of the shirt - sure the Vortex guys won't mind :lol:

Nothing here either ;)

RAC do cover the person - so again same applies.

My mum has the top-whack RAC cover which includes specifying a car with special cover - guess you gets that ;) So I pay nothing for RAC cover and get all the special treatment.

I've got them to flatbed it to a garage 70 miles away before - all covered :)

Avatar made :)

Get the ol' girl running sweet first, mate.

Your 15s will do for now whilst you get it running properly!

Darren is the Guru. Use the force!

He also has wheels coming out of his ears ;)

With 205 tyres, no.

I have 215s on mine, which only rub when the car bottoms-out in swooping ditches, etc - so hardly ever.

But then mine isn't lowered - so stick to 205 when lowering and you should be fine.

18in wheels will most likely need the arches rolling if you are doing a 35mm drop. The ride will also be very firm, as you'll have hardly any rubber between the wheel and the road!

18in wheels can make the car look a little wrong too... A bit too big....

17in is the sweetest, along with a 30-40mm drop (mine isn't lowered, Jim) and will preserve your teeth on those roads ;)
