  1. I'll let Matt reply first bud as it's his thread but no worries I'll keep an eye on thread :thumbleft:
  2. Jamie if Matt can't sort you out I have an early front bumper if you let me know what bit u require I'll cut it oot for u only Matt can't help.
  3. Cheer's so it's the crystal's red on bottom and clear on top with the clear part with red tint spray? I'll check out phil's
  4. Just seen this it was at Player's I'm liking the red rears anyone know where to buy these as they don't look like diy job's
  5. Knew it wouldn't hang about long am interested to see the new one too
  6. I get the feeling you are missing us Baz not thinking of a comeback are we??
  7. Nice!!!!!! Real or rep's? Hard to tell looking at it on my phone at a wedding reception ;)
  8. Totally agree with Sean shame it may be going off the forum but it is your car to sell to whoever we would all like to sell it to someone on the forum but that unfortunately is not doable these day's
  9. Thank's Chris no need to apologise I know what you are saying though ;) . I'm not bumming myself up but they actually look better in the flesh than the pic's like so many thing's. Appreciate all the positive comment's guy's I have been getting a little frustrated with progress which may have come across in my thread's/post's I'm hoping I will have more time now thank's everyone.
  10. Not 100% with what you mean Chris the pinstriping was green tape that was exactly the right size to cover the black plastic trim inbetween the two lenses ie the fog/reverse light I think you mean something else but thank's anyway mate praise from you in any form is true praise thank's
  11. Nice one Ron appreciate that coming from the Barry white of the Forum (I'm not saying you are fat/overweight)More to come Bud getting a little frustrated with the pace to be honest IT WILL BE READY FOR NEXT YEAR ( well that's what I believe anyway)
  12. Can't fault you Sean if it was me I would be wanting direct fit ie 5x100 but you are correct 16's is the only way to go I have been forced to go 17's due to the Brembo's but then with 250+ bhp you want to keep the brake's and change the wheel's not the other way about. I'm sure your choice will be sublime :D
  13. Some like to play thing's close to the chest's. These ch's should sell pretty quick mate and if you don't mind running adapter's I still have the Oz Vega's which will clear your brake's but won't mine and they are 16's plus they are alot lighter too.
  14. Totally agree sean it's the weight for me mate ;)
  15. I recently sold the Porsche Boxster Dyno's I had and to be honest wish I had tried them on the Corrado as they were very light and I mean very light for a 17" wheel they were about 3.5/4kgs. Are you going to give any clue as to what you have in mind next or are you being cagey? I can vouch for Comp's in any flavour light and capable of covering big brakes the C4S cab wheel's that were on it when I bought it hat off to Baron for finding them but they were heavy/cumbersome on Corrado Looked the absolute nad's though :thumbleft:
  16. In a way have to agree with Sean182 they do go well on Aqua Blue Corrado's but can also see it from your point of view Sean there are plenty of other wheel's out there BBS is not the be all and end all plus if they are any where near as heavy as the one's that came on my Vectra JJJesus you will totally see the difference with other wheel's Intrigued to see what you have in mind
  17. :lol: Cheer's Jamie it is an easy Diy job the Lacquering is the part where alot of people muck it up if you can get someone with a spray gun/compressor to do the lacquering it is the best way trying to do it with a rattle can does not get the level of finish we all want. I may do another set I enjoyed doing them.
  18. That will be an expensive list :bonk:
  19. Cheers Rob they do look good on DBP C's Sean it was the the E-tech stuff mate you shouldn't have binned them I would have bought them off you
  20. Get some fine glitter in it I don't mean chavvy glitter just a small amount :thumbleft:
  21. I have found out some more info on the Mk1 escort it's a crossflow with harris head cnc machined piston's Titanium part's double valve spring's twin 48 dellorto's 225 bhp and only weigh's 720kg's it make's Vxr astra's st focus's look pedestrian an absolute animal and the noise it make's is amazing Love it
  22. Same colour Sean? get some glitter in it
  23. Cheer's Baz:thumbleft: Yeah Sean Diy job with a little help It's easy Mic to be honest make sure you mask them off completely (the back's) and between the lenses I got a pinstriping tape from the local paint supplies shop also the reversing light if you want then tack rag them before applying the red tint. The next phase I cheated a little as I got one of my mates to give them a couple of coats of Lacquer from the gun rather than rattle can's then 2000 wet and dry to get rid of any imperfection's followed by a polish with the buff I used 3M fast cut (green) followed by 3M ultra fina (blue) and there you go :thumbleft: Today was the first day I have had a chance to finish them they won't be going on for a while yet got other bit's to do first when I get a chance.
