ha ha & pic 14 - obligatory cheesy grin owner photo lol

great minds eh ;) lol i have found a range of sizes of BBS centre caps here http://www.performancealloys.com/bbs-centre-caps.aspx but they only list BBS or OZ flavours :(

Oddly, when searching for speedline centre caps i came across this link from last year http://www.hemmings.com/hsx/stories/2013/09/01/hmn_buyers_guide1.html A very nice article considering the site says they are 'World’s Largest Collector Car Marketplace'

do you need the full handle or is it the striker which is broken? if the latter daves16v does a repair kit in supplier section for both sides & this enables you to keep your current key ;) my drivers handle now feels great & ive the passenger kit ready for when that goes too lol

Nice thank you kindly Jim

cool. good luck & let us know how you get on :) Ive checked on the speedline corse site but cant find any centre caps listed. I also checked the german classic parts site & cant find any on there either

Tidy! I will have a look out but please do give us a synopsis once you have read it Jim :)

IIRC i think ive heard they are still available from the stealers, though ive never rang to check

my apologies sam i saw the thread but didnt read your original post

Hi m8 & welcome. Im not in your area but there are lots of helpful bods on here :) If you havent read the buying guide on here its worth a look & other than that id say hold out until you find the right one for you. Big & costly jobs on the VR are the obvious chains/tensioners but also check the running gear (front wishbone bushes, track rod ends & bushes, rear beam bushes & CV boots & steering rack gaitors etc) ;)

if southie is not responding & cant be contacted then someone could try contacting the supplier themselves & see if they can run the group buy southie did put the supplier link in the 1st post, http://www.classic9leathershop.com/bonnet-liners-for-volkswagen/ & they still have the liners advertised i would imagine the company may be happy to let a new person run a group buy as the probably want to sell more liners & it would be easy to make a list for a 2nd run you may have an issue with companies posting the 3M spray adhesive though as i know they they dont like posting such items any longer good luck all

f**ing scum of the earth! Dont f*ck with another mans vehicle i work & live in the surrounding 15 mile radius of birmingham - if i see it i will try & get some info & post

if it is not the immobiliser collar / chip in key issue (as you havent changed your barrel) it could be that the collar has somehow stopped talking to the immobiliser the issue would be the same - car starts ok but then cuts out after few seconds IIRC someone here recently had an issue where the wire which goes from the immob collar to the fuse board had a break in it - that thread might help you also

Mr_Rossy that would be very kind of you!! I would like a pair please :) Thanks muchly Edit - could i also have a 2nd pair for the gf's storm, thanks

I brought my KW's direct from KW & they matched the best price i could find online

hi, what year is the motor? in your post are you referring to the ignition switch or barrel? on late models the key has a chip in it which is read by a collar around the ignition which feeds back to the immobiliser, if the chip doesnt match the collar then it will cause the car to start ok but then the engine will cut out within a short time. i had the above issue when i changed by ignition barrel & in the end i had the collar recoded to new key in hindsight i think it is possible to split the black plastic on the keys in half & swap the chip over ;)

have you tried dropping Southie a PM? he was the person who started this thread

Welcome :) Glad you have finally made the leap to a VR - hope your enjoying it!? Have you any pics to post, its always nice to see new members motors. If you check out the 2nd page of my member thread http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=44751&page=2&highlight=g0ldf1ng3r it has pics of when i had fitted & adjusted my KW V1 coilovers. It is on the standard 15" speedlines & I went for a '2 finger' gap between the top of the tire & the wheel arch all round. I find this height on these coilovers gives me a great balance between excellent handling & stability whilst giving the suspension enough room to travel so as not to feel too crashy. Personally, i found that any crashy or harshness was vastly reduced once i had also renewed my front wishbone & rear beam bushes (as well as the rest of the running gear) Everything then feels nicely cushioned but when pushing it round corners it just grips & grips :D

good advice supercharged! vince at stealth said he took advantage of the box being off & replaced a few other parts as he had them on the but i cant recall exactly what he said they were

great find!!

Ive recently fitted the Infinity Kappa 52.9i 5.25" in my doors, to match up with the 693.9i 6*9's in the rear, & am happy to say they are awesome!! & i found them drastically reduced to about £60!! Unlike many coax speakers the infinity kappa's come with their own in line crossovers ;)

Thanks Rob I will probably stick to the ring xenon's as i find the light output is excellent in both strength & clarity

are you referring to the night breakers rob?

Morning Rog H4 is the correct fitment. Whats the review on the night breakers? I use ring xenon ultima but need to replace as one side has popped & am always interested thoughts on alternatives Thanks
