Danny B 0 Posted March 18, 2010 I like white c's but I think as with some of the other comments you need a bit of black to break it up.....maybe front grill, splitter and handles :shrug: - as you seem to be swaying towards !! sorry really dislike rears, all red looks great on white IMO :) Great stance though, looking good :salute: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turbomagikz 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Hello matey Thumbs up !! white corrados ruled before "WHITE" was the in colour .... ive had white corrado for over 6+ years now ! i dont think that the corrado needs any colour codein of door handles grill splitter ect ? i think its sexy enuff as it is ....... just my opinion because WHITE is bright & well sex in your face ! .. as for the clear tail lights ... they are horible lol yerr horibble . now i know that because i have them on mine and still have ! but i sprayed them half red .... never even took them off car ... just masked them off and sprayed that red light stuff on them . . HOPE my little bit of "white corrado talk helps you " a couple of pics of mine that i aint drove for 4 months now .....cannot wait for the sunshine again . respect fella . ( HOPE you dont mind the pics ? its just so you can do your opinions against others ) cheers mark :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

borarob 0 Posted May 9, 2010 standard lights look 100 times better - i'd be tempted to leave them like that, and even put the side repeaters back to amber too.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STU175 0 Posted March 17, 2012 well this kept me busy today[ATTACH=CONFIG]56041[/ATTACH] had kept hold of spare subframe and steering rack of my old 16v so set about a rebuild. wire brush attachment to metal then acid etched primer them some hammerite i had laying around. came out pretty good i think. fitting was interesting in the end i sat the whole subframe on a scaffold board then slowly built up the height each side using some more scaffold boards untill it was high enough to get the bolts in.. works a treat if your fitting on your own. anyone see the un-deliberate mistake i made on the assembly i didnt notice untill i had the subframe in place ??????:bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16VG60 1 Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Some lovely work and a good many hours going in there Stuart. Our Rebuilt chargers prefer to sit in smart engine bays . Well done. I look forward to seeing you soon. PS I am still trying to get that Goodwood circuit site plan for you, but meeting with a little resistance at the moment.

16VG60 1 Posted February 6, 2016 Hi Stuart, yup you've got me there I have indeed got two Stuart's mixed up Ref your engine build I would recommend running it in for 2k miles on the stock G60 green tops and then a swap to reds for mapping post run in. I strongly recommend you fit a good quality adjustable FPR and ensure your greens are cleaned and flow tested first to prevent fuelling faults on that shiny new engine. We can of course look after all your fuel injection services and parts if you wish. Regards, John JMR Ltd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
