nice wheels, what size tyres did you fit? im sure they will look good against the black paintwork

depending on the offset here shouldnt be any rubbing, mines is lowered a lot on a vr widetrack with 8 x 17s and there is no rubbing, most people will run 205/40 17's which give a mild stretch but if i ever replace my tyres i will be getting 215/35/17 which are wider but have a lower overall profile. i presonally think they look better too but they are pricy at approx £100 a corner

we should use this thread for all the blackberry owners to congregate lol

a few new pics

the wheels are 8jx17 et35 with 205/40/17 tyres, think i will change to 215/35/17 when they need changing. no idea on ride height its on kw v2 coils

cool, well good luck with it. another blackberry on the forum 8)

i was just watching that car on ebay, it finished half an hour ago? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-MAUVE-PURPLE-VR6_W0QQitemZ280134892832QQihZ018QQcategoryZ9873QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

anyone upgrading feel free to sell me your standard airbox setup 8)

the rear beam bushes is on my list of things to do, it's encouraging to read that the difference is significantly noticeable. did you use oem bushes?

all 8x17" zw1's are et60 then rh use spacers to move the out to suit diferent applications so there is no issue there. It saves them manufacturing different spec wheels, its easier to alter the adapters. The adapter are seure so you dont need to worry. the zw1's will look hot on a dark car like yours i was after 4 stud ones when i had my moonlight 16v, but i sold it before i had a chance to source them so now run it on my blackberry vr. The tednt to suit the darker colours more imo

Nice install, i like where you have gone with your car. What sub ae you using as it has a shallow depth and where have you mounte your amp?

Cheers Kev that gives me some sort of direction when i'm fault finding at the weekend

i think you would have a lot less clearance issues if you were running 215/35/16's

glad to hear im notthe only one, im sure it must have been covered before but the forum will not allow me to search for "ABS" SO any help regarding making the search work or identifying the component would be greatly appreciated :)

bump :?

Can anyone tell me what the component marked A in the picture below does? It is mounted on my abs pump in the engine bay. The reason i ask is that yesterday i came back to my car and there was a buzzing noise emanating from what sounded like my engine bay, this is while my car was parked up. I thouht maybe the noise is from something underneath the car as i was parked in a underground car park SO i got in the car and proceeded to exit, as soon as i touched my brake pedal the brakes were overly sensitive and the brakes locked. So i parked back up and opened the bonnet, i could hear a buzzing noise coming from the abs pump even when the engine was not running and there was no key in the ignintion. Initiialy i disconnected the battery and reconnected hoping this would do something but the noise still remained when the battery was reconected. After fidling about i disconnected the connecter marked B in the picture below and the noise stopped so i started the car and the abs light came on and went off as usual when i start the car. I tried the brakes and they were fine so i drove home. When i got home i tried to re connect the connector marked B and the noise came back. So my question is what does this component do? and what is causing this problem? Ive tried to search abs faults but you cannot search "abs" as it i sonly 3 characters long.

ive just bought two brand new ones recently so im confident on the price as i did my research, gpc's price is £24 + vat plus delivery so made more sense to get from my local ecp. droog - i only replaced mine two freshen the front end up, if you want you can buy my old ones of me? Should only be about £25... GPC sell them for £19 (No vat if you buy at Inters next month)

indicators work out approx £40 + vat from vw when i checked a few weeks ago, can get them for £35 inc from ecp for genuine ones

Im from Cranford, im going to try and make it to the next ace cafe if he weathers better so you can catch me there

FAK33 - i can imagin you regret it, i might be selling mine at the end of the year if your interested? Yes the interior is as clean as the outside, I have a factory electric recaro interior and everything works.... seat, sun roof, heater, head light switch etc. I'll get some pics up at the weekend.

hi the vr middle box and rear box is all one piece and needs to be replaced together. I posted a thread on here a few months ago. I'm thinking of going to powerflow and getting them to just replace the centre box as i like the oem tailpipe

Wow looks like all the blackbery owners have gathered in this thread :lol: Regarding the wheels i knew i had to get zw1's before i even got the car, although it did look good on the speedies over winter. I was never sure if rs's would suit blackberry but they look great on A1 VR6's car so i think i might get some oem finish 16's for next winter if i still have the car by then. 9 x 16's also look good, but makes the c look too modified for my liking. Also my mk1 is rather low and wide so i didnt want to go for that look with the c. yes the standard front end is the best look for the c, mine originally had the vr6 badge missing on the front i sourced a new one form arz and it looks so much better for it. Yeh it does, I've only just put the original badged grill back on after having a debadged one on for a while. Love the wheels, never seen a blackberry car before with RH's - think they really suit the colour.

mines looks spookily similar to yours from the front now that i have the 50mm spoiler on there

nice looks like pearl grey to me

i sold my 16v which i was happy with to get the vr
