I'm only talking of impressions of their 'look' not the development timescale

They always look like hybrid between the styling od 928 rims and Design 90s, theres influences from both.

You need the ET 15 to clear the strut its the arches that should concern you.

Is the new owner on the forum? Glad you found a new keeper, hard to resist once seen! In its modded state this was my favourite Corrado very OEM+, no many of us left now!

OK we hear a lot about peoples favourite styling and performance mods. In my experience though it not always a straight forward or positive move. What difficulties have you had, which mods have you regretted and why. We can all learn from experience!

A small example I regretted buying brand new OE Passat rear door handles they didn't have the threaded striker adjustment of the original product and are therefore hard to fit through the door handle recess and to push the lock correctly.

What year did Andre Kain build his car in its first guise, when it was blue? That must be late 90s too, 98? Any one got pics before it went UPS Brown.

Did you remove every thing possible unnecessary from the underside of the seat before fitting it to the subframe eg other manufacturers fixings or rails etc. The base needs to be kept to the bare mimimum.

you need a specialist tool to remove the bolts and you may struggle to find them or need professional help

Don't sell the BBS they REALLY suit your car

A diamond cut rim would work really well on these!

Sorry to be a pest, I need to get this bottomed. The brakes are on and fine (thanks for sorting the bolts Dinkus 8) ) I have already got braided hoses on the rear from when I upgraded to MKIV callipers. I now need the braided hoses for the front with banjo fitting and the hoses over axle rears. I spoke to Stealth who seemed to think it was a MK3 Golf kit I needed and C&R were unsure. I thought someone had developed a specific kit, does anyone know as the Mk3 with 288 discs uses the same calliper will it be OKand are the axle hoses the same?

Which fitment Goodridge hoses are people going for and which supplier have you used? Have you gone for banjo fittings?

Glad its all coming good for you!

Any news on the Turbo plans?

I would love to see it with the inner lights replaced and a number plate frenched into the metal in the original position. However you can't for minute knock the quality of this car, and it simply keeps getting better.

Prefer the new one, looks good!

Needs plating and skimming look at Jayrenshaws gallery.

OK its only a model but it looks cool 8)

Love the look of them, got to admit.Due to the size of the cross spoked area on the front of the RS 301 it makes the brakes look far more impressive.

Brakes are now on full 312mm TT set up on the front to compliment the MKIV rears. Fill the cwheel nicely too!

Bs are awesome

A strong price doesn't guarantee a good car that is obvious. The point I was trying to make is that apparent bargain prices often can get you rough cars which need a fortune spending to get up to scratch, there are very few genuine bargains in life. I meant that a genine mint car can command a strong price. I have a mate who bought a C for £200 recently but as a G plate valver with worn seats some rot knackered paint, damaged locks, broken sunroof etc it is beyond economical sense to be anything but a banger.

I think you get what you pay for if its genuinely mint and wants for nothing its a fair price.

I think they will fit OK, as Corrado and Scirocco seats are often fitted to MK1 and MK2 Golfs so it should work both ways. The scirocco frame just sits lower which is more suited to a Corrado when fitting non VW specific seats. I can put my hands on a pair in great nick both height adjustable and in good nick. They are a mates think he wants £20.
