Macdaddy 10 Posted February 13, 2013 Bolsters are mint ! Yep Bolsters are great, but so are the rest of the seats. They are just being treat to a deep clean and leather feed as we speak. More pics soon...... I'm about to deep clean the interior carpet while the cars empty. There's a few jobs which will get completed this next couple of weeks in time for Ultimate Dubs.

Macdaddy 10 Posted February 17, 2013 Well its been a productive weekend on the Corrado front. Splitter fitted Recaro's in but not yet wired. Messed about with the summer wheels and ride height: Problem is now when i have it sitting right in the arches the front splitters low and catches..... FFS !!! Looks like a bit of sensible arch gap is going to happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C5 OEM 0 Posted February 17, 2013 Car looks great Steve but I'm not feeling the wheels.... The rx's on eBay would be perfect for the complete oem package. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C5 OEM 0 Posted February 17, 2013 TBH i've been the same this last week, May look for new wheels soon. The rx's linked on here are great wheels and mint.... If I were planning another corrado they would be my first choice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 15 Posted February 17, 2013 Not convinced with the RX's, really liking the CH's at the moment and also still like the ZW1's Seats look spot on by the way!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I'm not sure i could live with RX's, As much as i like the wheel there's better suited out there and i'd always be looking at other stuff. I'm pretty tempted by a 17" speedline or compomotive wheel, On the other hand I think the corrado really suits wide wheels.... Anyway i've fallen out with the Rado, Having one of those 'just get it sold' weekends. Edited February 18, 2013 by Macdaddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted February 18, 2013 Tyres look too low a profile, so you lower to loose the arch gap and in turn the whole car is too low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted February 19, 2013 Tyres look too low a profile, so you lower to loose the arch gap and in turn the whole car is too low. I fear you are indeed correct, Its the 90mm splitter that will catch now so may have to revert to the smaller one again..... Another day of messing will no doubt sort it.

C5 OEM 0 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Keep the 90mm ditch the wheels....! Edited February 19, 2013 by C5 OEM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted February 19, 2013 My splitter catches on most things mate there actually quite flexible , like everyone else has said tho im not sure about the wheels but i reckon a bit of tyre black would make the world of difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted February 19, 2013 17" Speedlines in Gunmetal/Anthracite would look great on this :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 15 Posted February 19, 2013 Stand by earlier suggestion, these set up correctly with the right dish, rolled arches etc would look the nuts!! http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?79283-RH-ZW1-split-rims-17x8-5-quot See http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?32999-blackberry-vr-17-quot-rs199-s/page4 Or CH's http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?32999-blackberry-vr-17-quot-rs199-s/page12 I'd loose the 90mm spoiler for a nice set of wheels.

James. 7 Posted February 19, 2013 How about 16" wheels and a slight dish at the rear ? Though to be fair, I thought you had it nailed on with the D90's. It's all part of the game, chopping around wheels, trim and getting frustrated till something sticks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted February 21, 2013 Yep i guess wheels are as personal as jewellery! Ideally i want dish on the rear James yes, I guess this year will be year if the wheel swap for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted March 9, 2013 Well i've spent hours getting the Corrado right for Ultimate Dubs and now its back on the driveway. Heard a grinding noise whilst in the centre lane on the motorway, Slowed to the nearside lane for it to suddenly get worse. Pulled onto the hard shoulder and just before i stopped.... BANG.... Wheel off, Jammed into the arch and car resting on the front splitter !!!!! Fortunately i carry a trolley jack which i managed to use with the OEM jack and lift the car to free the wheel. Damage to the nearside wing and knocking at the front now....... Limped home..... Gutted! Looks like the brakes been sticking and heated up so much the bolts have come loose.

red arrow 0 Posted March 9, 2013 Not good news - although could have been worse. Anything I can help with give me a shout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonytiger 0 Posted March 9, 2013 Hope the damage isn't too bad - but as said could have been so much worse, for you and other traffic if the wheel had actually come free. Good luck getting it sorted out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
