Henny 0 Posted January 12, 2005 G60Dub, the leather was already in it... I've not swapped anything other than the lupo wipers over yet (new set on order too! ;) ) hybrid, Brembos aren't on, but there's a nice new set of Mintex 1144s on the front... there wasn't much left of the old pads by the time I got her home (read as, they were down INTO the metal backing! :| ) Oh, and I've been looking at all sorts of plates... G60 ***, G6 o**, H***GG0, H*** DUB etc etc etc... just can't quite justify the £250 + at the moment as I'm saving for a 3 week holiday to New Zealand with my missus this summer... :? Banana Man, Aiming to get everything swapped over once the weather sorts itself out a little... need to sell 2 of my 4 cars first though so I've got some room to work on her! :| Anyone want a H plate Golf Driver (£300) or a stripped MKI GTI 16V (fully in bits!) ?!? :roll: :lol: Oh, and I did the first mod to it last night... It's now supporting Lupo GTI wipers so I can see in the rain... Hybrid? How the hell did you drive it with those wipers?!? :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted January 13, 2005 Nice colour, looks sound! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 0 Posted January 13, 2005 Nah not really tbh ;) M.K is well lit up... Tho those lights were sad i know but the only update i knew of, after puttin her up for sale on here was a few buts i noticed about the updated looms, which made as much sense as the lupo conversion to a noob like me self lol *blush* A.B.C stuff to mod like yer self tho :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 0 Posted February 5, 2005 Must be a few more mods on there by now? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 7, 2005 yup, just no time to take piccys... She's now on a set of 16x7.5 Borbet C wheels, and has a "slightly better" stereo than she had before... A new radiator and headlights (+ loom) have also been fitted as well as a set of smoked FK rear lights (which look WAY better than I thought they would!) 8) Pics as soon as I wash her 'cos she's flithy at the moment... :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Ooh would like to see wot the lights look like :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 16, 2005 right, time for some updates! 8) She's now on the Borbet C's I had kicking about (like you do) with 205,45,16 Yokohama A539 rubber all around... She's now got a set of Smoked in-pro rear lights. The front seats out of J-DUB are now sat in there (sold the rest of J-DUB's leather with the fronts out of this one to finance this car) The stereo has been upgraded to a Dension MP3 player with a built in 80Gb hard drive, it's now got an infinity Bass Link in the boot and a Jenson amp too.. The tracker has also been installed so I know where she is at all times... 8) She's got a new radiator after the one fitted proved to be the source of the coolant leak and she's about to get a full on service from me next weekend. 8) That's all for now, I'm happy as larry with this one, and I still can't get over the amount of Dynamat I keep finding inside the car! I noticed she was quiet when I test drove her, but having now stripped her out a bit to fit the stereo, there's dynamat EVERYWHERE! :D 8) I really must come up with a catchier name than HYYU though... :| :?

chrishill 0 Posted February 16, 2005 the borbets are back! 8) looks really good mate, those rear lights suit it down to the ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 16, 2005 chrishill, different set mate... J-Dub's still wearing her slightly battered set... (they are exactly the same though! ;) :lol: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted February 17, 2005 Henny , what you doing with the MASItalys then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 17, 2005 I still can't get over the amount of Dynamat I keep finding inside the car! I noticed she was quiet when I test drove her, but having now stripped her out a bit to fit the stereo, there's dynamat EVERYWHERE! :D 8) Good, keep it there! Makes hell of a difference! Car is coming along nicely mate... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted February 17, 2005 loose the red badge.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 17, 2005 Yeah - agreed. In fact I have a spare silver one that I am bringing next time I know i'm going to see you Henny, and i'm gonna do a sneaky little swaparoo ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 17, 2005 fla, The MASItaly wheels will be for sale shortly... I just need to get my butt into gear and put together a load of adverts for a load of parts I have going spare... :oops: The red badge will shortly be repainted black... and then removed completely along with all rear end badges when she goes into the body shop to sort out the little niggles with the paint and the small dents... ;) 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 17, 2005 You gonna sell those smoked side repeaters? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 17, 2005 they're fecked... :| I'm thinking of deleting them completely and doing something a little different seeing as there's a little bit of rust around them anyway... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 17, 2005 Ok mate :) I should just pop down Halfrauds and get some, but its a bit easier to wire someone some money online and have them appear at your door a few days later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted February 21, 2005 I'm surprised nobody has done an 'indicator in mirror - Mercedes-Benz style' mod yet. Could this be the first Corrado to sport such a mod? Or has it been done and I just haven't seen it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 21, 2005 bcstudent, that's kinda what I was thinking, only a little less "in your face" than the merc ones... I think that some smoked amber LEDs could easily be blended into my mirrors so that they shine well, but aren't obvious when they're not lit as this colour seems to work well with the smoked colours (as with the rear lights and current side repeaters!) I have a spare set of corrado mirrors (although they're tornado pink at the moment) which I may have a bit of a play with... ;) 8) Oooh! And I just got an email from ebay as I was writing this to let me know that I've just won a new set of wheels from Germany! :D 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 21, 2005 What wheels! What wheels! :) Not more Borbets? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 21, 2005 yup... more Borbet C's... 8) Slightly wierd offset on 'em though so that I can put the spacers behind 'em to clear the brembos when I fit 'em to this car without the wheels sticking out of her narrower early arches... Back up to 10 Borbet Cs now then... :oops: 14 if I win the other auction too! :| :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
