Thanks guys, I had just come to same conclusion, that the part of the handle I can see is a cover that needs to be prised off. Will attempt to do so tomorrow. Cheers! J

Anyone know how to remove the door panel on a 16v 1.8? Ive undone all the screws etc and the only thing securing now seems to be where the main pull-handle (or whatever its called) for closing the door is, but I can't see how to remove this... Is there a hidden screw or catch? Thanks again John

Just as an end to this thread, I now have 14inch mk2 golf steels on as suggested as a temp measure... It looks a lot happier than when it was on the floor. Thanks to all the people who suggested things. Regards John

Thanks Paul, I'l keep those suggestions in mind. If you get the swordblade system up and running let me know. Ok, now Ive checked the spec - Its a 16v 1.8 on a H plate. The discs are 4 stud. So am I right that the wheels on a mk2/3 (non GTI) Golf are the ones that'll fit...? Cheers! J (for John - sorry didnt mean to sound mysterious)

Thanks for the replies, Yes they were aftermarket but couldn't tell you the manufacturer though. I thought they had locking nuts on but it didnt seem to stop them. When I get home tonight i'll check out the spec fully - I realise its hard to suggest anything until you know that! I found a breakers today who would let me have a mixed set of golf alloys and tyres cheap, so that might be a good idea. PS they broke the passenger window too so any ideas about where to get a cheap replacement? Thanks for the advice, I never realised this forum existed till today. When I get it up and running I'll come back and get some ideas on tuning. I used to race Beetles some time ago but these days its just a "A to B" type of thing with the Corrado (hence I havnt paid it too much attention) Anyway I promise to pay more attention to my corrado in future :oops:

Thanks, Its the 1.8 and as far as I can remember (I only got it fairly recently) its 5-stud... J

Hi all, Hope you can help with an idea or two.. This week some kind people nicked all the alloys off my corrado . As a temporary measure I need to get hold of some kind of wheels to get it off the ground and move it - any suggestions? I understand that Golf alloys might fit? But which Golf? Or any other bright ideas? Thanks a lot J
