You must be joking, for me its one of the reasons i went for the green. I wonder what a Mystic with beige would look like.. Good work CorradoRun, youre not hanging about, look forward to seeing this as it develops.

The cattle grid well and truly did you over there, hope you get it all sorted out. The VR is looking sweet as...

Following a conversation with Tekara at the South Coast meet ive decided to upgrade my front brakes. I still want to be able to wear the Solitudes so am going for the 288mm set up, kindly supplied to me by supercharged. Ive now got all the bits i need other than discs and pads which are in the post, happy days.... Other jobs taking me into April are to get a wheel refurbed and to finally, at long last, get the car lowered, i cant wait!!!!!! Photos to come as im going. Roll on the nice weather so we can all enjoy our Rados in the sunshine....

A big thankyou to supercharged for 288mm calipers, arrived quickly and well packaged up.. And another big thankyou to Tekara, dispatched goodridge hoses before payment had even been sent. Very much appreciated...

Terrible news mate... I hope you get it back in one piece and the theiving c***s get what they deserve..

Fitment wise i can imagine there being much difference as people fit late dashes into early Rados... I think you have listed the differences..

If you are only after a certain bit then it may be an idea to get someone to make you a custom exhaust. Dont know much about prices of this but youll only end up buying what you need. Ive been lead to believe that the superspring cat back system is £350. Get in touch with Vince @ Stealth, IIRC correctly he can get them.

Sounds like your gonna need to take your time, in the end you will end up with exactly the car you want and at a good price... Good luck...

Ive heard this aswell. Been recommended to me by several people and will be the one i go for when the time comes..

This car just gets better every time i see it, got to be one of the best...

Looks great... Good work. Always a nice feeling when you stand back and admire it after the cleaning.

Youre a brave man taking this on but it sounds like its going well... Looking forward to seeing the results.

ouch... Sound too much for a 30 year old. I used confused.com and got a policy with Admiral.. Set me back £580, im 27 with 5 years NCB.. I find the Storm isnt much more expensvie to insure than the Valver i had.. Mine isnt garaged either but parked on the driveway.

stel g60, id agree that the leon has the same 'lines' as a Corrado, with 2 extra doors...

Id imagine they will be calibrated differently so the miles and revs will be inaccurate.

I think ive seen this car at Peter Coopers in Pompey, it was December when mine was in for a service. I cant remember if there was a price in the window though...

Welcome to the Forum and enjoy... Any plans for your motor???

I think you can buy proper stuff for sticking it back o from Halfors or such alike. May be be good idea to warm the windscreen with a hairdryer to help it stick...

Looking like a top quality job, bet your well chuffed!!!!

With pink leathers and calipers i could be starting a whole new trend!!!! I think pink would look good on your silver VR dinkus, get them painted!!

I understand what you guys mean about red but i think the contrast against the green works well along with the all red rears on mine i think it could be the way. GIXXERUK, your car looks sweet as and is a perfect expample of what i mean about the contrast. Am beginning to sway towards the red. Anyone else got pis of any other colours, ive given myself 48 hours to decide!!

I believe 160bhp ish is achievable with cams and a few other straight forward mods.

Dont fancy gold or black but am struggling to decide between silver or red.... Umm, decisions... My rear calipers are only 9 months old and the ones im putting on the front have been painted by Supercharged so am hoping itll not be too much of a job.

I dont think green would like right on the calipers Andy. The other plan would be red....

I will be upgrading my brakes shortly and would like to paint the calipers and before putting them on the car, am going for silver so: Any suggestions on a make i should go for and wheres the best place to buy? Any tips or advice on painting them from anyones experience? Cheers peeps..
