dr_mat 0 Posted September 21, 2003 stormseeker: don't clean your engine bay! You have the authentic "I bought a VW and all I got was this lousy burst water hose" look about it, just like mine. ;) Buyers are suspicious when the engine bay is too clean. It looks like you've been Mr Muscle-ing away head gasket leaks... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KARMANN 0 Posted February 29, 2004 Hi there, thats a very nice looking car-can i just confirm the wheels as Votex from Wheel Mania? iv been toiling over these wheels for a while, think i may have just been swung towards them now. Do they come with the polished lip?Any problems with them fitting? Cheers Fraser Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted March 1, 2004 Hi there The wheels are performance alloy replicas,supposed to look like the BBS rims,fitment was straight forward but every rim designer has different tolerances. They have a polished lip,but the lacquer started to peel off :x ,like most polished lips the lacquer is applied thin as not to dull the polished effect and they are an arse to clean :wink: :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60bv 0 Posted March 27, 2004 just seem the pics. blimy, my friend bought a low milage golf vr, 28k onit, took it to mister vw for some warrantee parts, abs sensor i think, when one of the apprenties thought he would take it out for a rag. he lost control, went throu a brick wall rolled the car twice and landed in a deep pond, the car was a complete right off. vw gave my friend £1800 and told him to get lost, justise ah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted March 27, 2004 I would have took that further if it was VW, I'm a mechanic and test drive cars as well ,but you have to have respect in customers pride and joy,just ask yourself if you would thrash your own car like that?(sometimes :wink: ) I came off light and its made me slow right down and I tend to cruze more 8) ,life's to short for a quick thrill :x Just Cruze.................... :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ice White Socks 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Makes me think about an old advert for what I think was an Audi RS4. Showed a greyhound race with all the dogs running flat out with their tongues hanging out etc. You could see the traps in the background and in the end trap there was a cheetah just lying down looking really mean- I think it was trying to say that if you have got the power under the bonnet then you can afford to just take it easy- Like you say leave the racing to the 1.3 novas 8) . Saying that I think my Corrados getting a little long in the tooth for getting pummelled every weekend- Every time a thrash it something else either breaks or drops off :( Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
