Neverite 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Hey people, i finally got the C up to a standard where im not (too) embarressed to show it in public lol, so as promised, here are some pics... and before you all say it, i know it needs dropping! any other suggestions/ideas welcome! and please dont be too harsh on me :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 18, 2005 Looks like a very nice clean example mate! Conceals its age very very well. Definately needs a bit of a drop though :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Looking goodNeverite, not to sure about the colour coded front grill but red raddo's look so much better with the rubbing strips taken off, i have to get round to doing that myself. The Leather interior looks mint, just add a nice leather handbrake gaitor from Dub Designs, you can get them with red stiching that will match the steering wheel.

bristolbaron 10 Posted March 18, 2005 ... and before you all say it, i know it needs dropping! It needs dropping! :D Nice mate, i've def seen this before, in Bath on pultney st outside the docs about 6? months ago. Was impressed by the leathers, but not by the grille!! :) I'm liking the wheels more then I thought I would too, but reckon dark metallic burgandy pearl is a lot nicer colour!!

Neverite 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Looks like a very nice clean example mate! Conceals its age very very well. so my 3 hours polishing paid off then lol, nice compliment :D The Hub, good idea for the handbrake mate, thanks, been looking for a decent one! and baron, very likely you saw her in bath about 6 months ago, spent alot of time with friends there when i first bought her. agree with you fully, leathers are lovely, grill is less than impressive lmao, and the wheels look much nicer on the car than in pics on there own.(though im sure many will disagree). cheers guys!.

JBOB 0 Posted March 18, 2005 I think the grill looks OK but of course its up to you, tidy looking c mate. Red isnt my colour but still looks really good........... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted March 18, 2005 looks good m8! 8) id go for a later style grill (if thats possible?) in black,with a black vw badge me self. but thats just me. :D neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neverite 0 Posted March 19, 2005 cheers Riley, been thinking about a late style de-badged, but not sure yet, have you ever seen (or anyone else) an early style de-badged grill? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpoid 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Hi mate, looking good ! i love red rado's actually, alot of people don't seem to but i think they look awesome. So how long have you had it, did you buy it how it is now or did you put the momo's on?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neverite 0 Posted March 19, 2005 hi carpoid, .ye, i put the momos on her (why whats wrong with em lmao). was bog standard when i bought her. was aquired around six months ago, only had the wheels about a week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted March 19, 2005 It looks good, its it was my C which its not, i'd drop it, paint the headlight surrounds to match the grill and add a Black VW badge front and rear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham_E 0 Posted March 20, 2005 sweet looking c you have there, the more red ones im seeing the more im liking them. wheels are 8) bit of a drop :lol: and a de-badged grill would set it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Reiger debadged grill in black and colour code the handles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boab 0 Posted March 20, 2005 im not sure on the red grill, think a 3 slat would suit it so much better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Nice looking C you have there dude... I think the grill looks good in red but I would change the badge to Black just to break up the colour a bit! I have the same steering wheel as you - a great wheel IMO 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrbeige 0 Posted March 22, 2005 Looks good dude, but would agree with the other guys about the grill - three slat would look better IMO, of course ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neverite 0 Posted March 24, 2005 badgeless grill it is then,(3 slat vr style) where is the best place to get one? ive seen so many different prices for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted March 24, 2005 got mine of ebay - FK one for £35!! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted March 24, 2005 If you want a 3 slat with badge, you could try Elma's whitehouse, bath road, brislington. Or VW Audi breakers in melksham - 01225 792900. May be lucky with a second hand one for a few quids! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
