Bugger! wrong way round. :oops: Well you can still get em. At least i'm covered for a replacement if I lower the car too much i'm running the larger one.
-
The smaller ones are 50mm and are on the latest cars. They are also the cheaper of the two to buy judging by GPC.
-
Get the car. Ovedrafts are easy to arrange and often free. I only pay interest over £100.
-
The Black car would look cool on its original Pirreli P's i'm trying to convince him to get a set of polished 15"s. The car is now significantly lowered and to retain the OE cloth insets the seats are going to be reupholstered in half leather.
-
You'll be telling us Ferraris, Porsches and the like are quicker too no doubt. :wink:
VWs are cool not fast it just so happens the Corrado has loads of one and a fair bit of the other 8)

Heres a pic of my mates car, this ones only done 160,000 miles 8)

Love it! These early MK2s with the MK1 style side stripe decals are becoming rare now. The car looks standard, don't mess with it just repair the seat they're too rare to spoil. These early ones look so light in appearance compared to the later ones. Top Car :!:
-
These are my actual wheels, just a mock ip pic they are BBS RS301 17" :afro:
-
My mate just created this 'virtual' image of roughly how the car should look! Not perfect but you get the idea, pity he missed the side mouldings :wink:
-
Supersprint. They claim to deliver performance wth factory sound and whats more its true, great fit too.
-
I've done the handles using the Passat rears. I was just thinking of the mouldings and perhaps the badges before I finish it all off with the suspension and wheels. 8)
-
You've just got to love such a rare genuine Limited Edition car, the unique features really add to the cars appeal and rarity.
So much better than the usual badge engineered notion of a Limited Edition. :D
-
They're from the same range and quite similar to the RH Cup Evos fitted to A20LEE the Dark Burgundy Pearl Corrado. I believe they are an 8x17 and look excellent in the stock arches. There are pics in the members gallery. I think they are one of the few designs to really compliment the appearance of a Corrado. Should look cool. 8)
-
I've just had a Supersprint cat back system fitted, admittedly to a VR but the fit is excellent and it is nice and quiet like the O.E. system The backbox is stainless and the tailpipe is a 120x80 oval. Very highly recommend it. 8)
-
Cool, Thanks 8)

Kevhaywire: The mouldings look good on your car as do the colour coded rear badges. Think i'll give it a go. Thanks :D
-
Is it relatively easy to remove them without bending the mouldings. :?:
-
Anyone ? Please :!:
-
I know people have done this before, just a couple of quick questions. I intend to keep them to prevent dentsetc but i'm considering colour coding.
Do you think they will look good on a Silver car?
Is it best to remove them for painting or do them insitu?
How much is it for a new full set of all six pieces?Does anyone other than main dealers stock them?
Thanks
-
They are going on the Corrado a Satin Silver VR6. I detailed the polished set to add a subtle difference to the appearance in case too much silver cancelled out the impact if you follow my reasoning. Having got the second set I kike em both!
-
OK you win!
Its an awful lot quicker to say it than do it. :!: Having gone to the trouble to detail the polished set they looked too good and too much like hard work to use everyday. However and heres the rub, I wanted the car to look that way pretty much all year round (OE Speedlines fitted during Winter) so and I realise I have sanity issues, I sourced an untouched second set.
With identical tyres on both there should be a seemless transition and a spare if needed. :D
-
OK very good, but to get the prize (of course there isn't one really) you have to be more specific. I'm looking for 4 differences :D (Ok small differences I admit)
-
Can you spot the difference :?:
(not made any easier with the poor pic)
Crashed my Corrado!!

For a minute then I thought you might have given yourself the perfect excuse to take it off the road for the upgrade :wink:
Glad no ones hurt.
