Recommended Posts

History

Full VWSH up to 57k when the Big 60K service was carried out at VW.

I purchased this car Easter Friday 2004 on 61k from Ben Taylor who was a CCGB member and the second owner.

 

Car

 

Latest hefty work carried out with JMR - Corrado specialist in West Sussex.

Regular fluid changes and checks carried out by myself and Hugo Jackson - BMW trained technician at Barons who is currently on number 6 VW with father and brothers owning MK2 Golfs.

 

Servicing

 

Genuine VW parts always used purchased from Colbornes VW in Guildford, Synta Silver and G12 always used. Recent plugs, Red Beru HT leads, Synta Oil (changed 3 in 12K), oil filter, recent water pump, brake fluid change, coolant change etc - all receipts kept - quite impressive amount of spending!

thanks VR6, yours must handle like it's on rails! 60mm drop on the 15's! miss the handling of the 15's actually. Might go inbetween and bet some 16's. Not sure which ones though? Keep the RS's for shows maybe 8)

Yeah it's not bloody bad actually! The 60mm is a bit of a guess really as I'm not 100% sure what the actual drop is.

 

I'll be getting 16's when I get some new alloys and think i'll put the suspension up a bit.

which 16's are you thinking of? or think look good on a C. The Borb's on Henny's car and the OZ's that look a bit like the speedlines (name?) look smart i think. Would really like some 16 versions of the BBS solitudes from the storm if they exist

Me?

 

I fancy some RH cup's or a few types of BBS like the RC's or LM's (should be easy/cheap!) or some other nice deep alloy, maybe porsche stylee.

biggerbigneil, OZ saturns look very similar to the Borbet's too... there's a C in the autotrader at the mo' which has these on it... first time I've seen 'em on a C (aqua VR6 IIRC) and they look spot on... 8)
