Fitted the corrado with Weitec coilovers & badgeless grill

i know it still can be lowered, but the problem is that my fenders must be rolled

fitted 4cm bumpstops at the rear, otherwise the tires hit my fenders

Only seen it 2 times irl on a corrado.

Saw them on ebay Germany, could not resist to not buy them.

offset and pcd is the same as the RS'es so stance will be the same.

If i want to go wider on the back, I have to redrill my hubs to 5x112.

finally after almost 2months waiting, I've got this

in the meanwhile i've added some extra carbon stuff

pictures when it's installed will follow

DHL delivered something this morning

what could be in here?

Original Debagged Schrick inlet manifold

:heart::heart::heart:

can't wait to install it, more updates to follow...

Annual inspection done today with no remarks

already lowered again and My new Rims :heart::heart::heart:
