OSV

No worries they're long gone now, Andy had them on C5OEM and he sold them, soon to grace a Jetta I believe. I do have my stock RS 301s though... and Comp MOs... and BBS CH.. and OE Speedlines LOL

Hey Bill, pics looks at bit more pokey than in the flesh, wheels are 17x 8" ET35 from memory, will be running 205/40/17 tyres so should all sit well hopefully! :)

Here's mine with an 8" ET27 RS, you're right without tyres and up in the air they look too wide!

Last Friday? Sherry Pearl? cream leather, VR, CCGB sticker, in Longton (Preston)

well the usual thing with insurance companies is an argument about what you can currently obtain an equivalent vehicle for, usually involving sample adverts to prove what is out there for the money versus any book prices they have, very difficult as yours is such low mileage, so I'd roughly guess-timate around the 4-5 grand mark.

eh?! how does that work?

Agreed value is different than a general market valuation and applies to cars of genuine merit and must be demonstrated as such to the insurers satisfaction.

I suspect more Storms have survived than any other model, I would imagine 1 in 4 of every remaining VR6 is a Storm

you can have the tool

Do you have the lockers and tool for the caps, might have a new tool somewhere. (found it!)

Looks good, certainly a man with a plan

yeh do see your point guys, oh well wheelbase here i come for some 8x17 BBS CH's then lol

They are 8.5 x 17 Karl, don't think you can get them in 5/100 there were very few of them made compared to say 5/112

Nice wheel choice, look forward to seeing the refurbished wheels on the car, its coming together very nicely

Too modern looking would look good on new Rocco, A5 etc

I'm guessing Azev A

Love to see clean arches, drives me mad seeing them crud encrusted on nice cars

I think that on such a well behaved and moderated forum that it was a real shame it was felt there was a need to change. It really has spoiled the dynamic process and its hard to follow. How about leave new system for one off or infrequent posters, ie selling only but for regular trusted contributors use the traditional system

looks that way

ok, keep up at the back. Perahaps I was shamelessly plugging the sale of a set of 263s lol

Aren't Schimmel 263 and Shrick268 ?

classic insurance but thats not a bad price

skim read, my bad

Looks super sharp, very nice

no one deux oeufs that

well today i raised the car 40mm as its was just to low for me, then just gave it a really good wash and wax and then it rained all day.

 

on my to do list is.

 

1, sell/swap the borbets, do like them but only if the car is low and i dont like them very very low.

 

2, change the storm single wiper to 2 normal wipers, gonna be difficult as the washer jet holes on the bonnet have been smoothed.

 

3, take off the swg scuttle panel and fit standard ones,

 

4, fit some better suspension as i'm 40 years old and the FK's that are on the car are just to firm/bouncy for my likening.

 

5, start looking at ways of making it faster lol

 

And also forgot how much attention Corrados get when your driving them around, and had sooooo many compliments on the cars condition, so for that Nathan can take the praise.

 

And the OBD2 is just great it idles so smoothly and the throttle response is so much more responsive.

 

Liking this car more more i drive it

Sounds like a very appropriate plan of action all round.

Rob as well as rolling them try to get them pulled a few mm too whilst keeping the factory line, they are inboard of vertical as standard so you can pull beyound the vertical for a mild flare. Very OE looking but better scope for wheel clearance.

No it was Nathans Blackberry C488ADO

Rc ?

Certainly much more in keeping with the style of the Corrado, be interested to see how you get on
