Pretty sure all late cars came with space savers, although there were probably a few crossover models that came with a full sized spare, and the humped carpet. Yours being a 95 model (assuming your sig), it should have a space saver and flat carpet.

Which model? There are 3 in total. Front, rear right, and rear left (gearbox) mount. Pretty sure they're all available from the dealership still, but sit down before speaking to them about how much they are!! Alternatively, Vibratechnics mounts are very good, although still quite expensive for all three. Depending on application will determine which type (competition or fast road) you should go for. There are some cheaper options from the likes of ECP/GSF/Ebay etc, but don't expect them to last long, although they are pretty cheap. I've just replaced mine on my VR, and went for competition front mount, and fast road rear and gearbox. I bought them from C&R enterprises and got forum discount which came in at £300 posted. Hope this helps mate.

:snipersmile:.......................:lol: It has nothing to do with them being BBSs James, I'm not the sort that gets blinkered by a manufacturer. I just think they look awsome on a Corrado. I understand if you wanna go for something else though Sean. Its your car and your taste after all mate.

:cuckoo::cuckoo::bonk:

The clips for the lamp holders were broken too mate. I found a note from the postie saying he had left them in the back garden. Went out and he'd obviously thrown them over the 7ft wall so they weren't great anyway. I'll probably get another set and have a go again if I can find a bargain set on ebay. For now though, it's time time make a definitive list of trim items I'm going to replace which isn't cheap!

I know what you mean James. I know some people hate green cars, but I love this colour so I don't wanna mess with it tbh. I know it's probably not gonna be exact, but it should be close enough. When is your being painted Matt? You've got the jump on me with stripping it all down, but I think your sanding as well aren't you?

Cheers all, I'm off on my hols on the 3rd so that'll take some of the wait off. He said it'll take 2-4 weeks. James, staying the original colour cos its a uuuummmmmm Storm.....................

Which tint did you use James? Mine looked pants when I did them, came out a candy looking colour which I didnt like, so ended up just binning them.

It was a chopper like this that scuffed my wing the day before National Day mate. You have to make allowances for these type of imbeciles unfortunately. :mad2:

They look cracking James! Did you Diy them? Top job if you did mate, well impressed! :thumbleft:

Well, just got back, and I'm very excited!! Car now booked in for full windows out respray on the 1st August. :dance: It came down to two garages after having recommendations, and reading online reviews on both. Both priced around the same, but the one I went with seemed a little more professional. Their workshop was in a cleaner state, and the fact they had a Ferrari F430, Aston Martin DBS, Volvo P1800, and a BMW Isetta Bubble as well as a few other in kind of sealed it. The Isetta and a T2 camper were back to bare metal, so they do lots of proper restos which is good. I need to strip the exterior plastics and trim, but other than that I'm good to go. Cant wait! :smug:

Personally, I think he over-reacted and was a little childish about it. :|

Looks very nice indeed! I like the straddling of two parking spaces to keep it that way too! :thumbleft:

I'm starting to worry now, I'm sure there's been a Vectra cruising slowly up and down my street lately too.................:lol:

That's for the 16v Fay, no metering head on the VR to adjust.

Cant wait for mine to be in this position, off for quotes and hopefully book it in tomorrow! :dance:

Thanks Kev. just curious as to mounting arrangements is why I asked mate.

Welcome! More and more of you guys from across the pond are joining our wonderful community, which just goes to show how helpful this forum is at the moment! If you have a look in the wiki section, there's a buyers guide and some 'how to' articles for common problems. I'd suggest for spares availability, it's worth joining vwvortex as it's primarily US owners on there, however the forum itself is apparently pretty dead. Corrado Club of Canada also has some good guides which I find very useful. Get some pictures of the car up if you can, always good to see others from around the world! :thumbleft:

Anyone got a pic of this fitted to a Corrado, I'm intrigued!

From what I've heard, JMR have a very good reputation for G60s. No idea about anything else, but I'm sure they will be more than capable on anything else.

Not the one we were talking about at Bruntingthorpe is it Chris? :silent: Fair asking price imho too mate.

ARZ tuning in Germany have a yellow fog but for one side only. They were for the French Market iirc, so worth looking on ebay.fr or trolling for french companies that may sell them.

Matt paint is probably your best bet. I think any chemical stripping would probably discolour the plastic. Harsh scrubbing would also likely damage the texture to the point of it being junk tbh. You should be able to get a replacement grille for around the £30 delivered mark though.

If your after a Classic Green Storm Chris, I'd reluctantly agree to a straight swap............:thumbleft:

Probably still out of budget! If we could get another dozen or so people, I'm in mate! :lol:
