looks like the hard work payed off

Fancy polishing them for me

I would give em a shot but i got enough polishing to do for myself look up perfect polishing kits and you can get a alloy referb kit for £40 comes with 180,240,320 abrasives then grey cut,brown and green finish polish and all the relevent mops and instructions simples!

they look much better martin

wat colour r u doing them then? i like them all silver

wheels now painted, not perfect but they'll do for now

just had 2 days of complete hell which resulted im both Lupton and I missing Spring Fest ..........had a bolt that wouldn't budge, then the wheels fouled the springs which we sorted with 5mm spacers, went to take it for a test drive but it wouldn't move, we'd somehow dislodged the drive shaft from the passenger side wheel . Anywayyyyyyyyyyyy, got it sorted and have some serious scrub on full lock with the arch liner but it'll wear away eventually


here are the results

Looks good mate. At least it's done now.

really looking good for the clean never doing a corrado again they know im not a fan after it all it looks really good.

cheers fella

took it to ATS today to have the alignment done but they couldnt do it, too low for ramp and too low for camber/tracking equipment. I've raised it 10mm tonight but the wheel still scrubs on full lock, do i need bigger spacers maybe...????

going to run it to work tomorrow then have alignment done thursday morning hopefully

its an issure of just running that low. there should be a sign of where its rubbing if its the liner just take it out.. I took a heat gun to my mk4 ones to heat them so the plactic allowed me to stretch them.

i've seen the signs of rubbing as there's no stone chip paint left on the inner arch , going back to ATS thursday morning to see if they can get it on the ramp

raised the car another 20mm and went back to ATS, they still insist they can't do alignment as they cant see the top of the tyre so i've sacked them off as a shower of shite, took it to A14 tyres in Bury who also happen to be a powerflow centre. he hooked me up and only needed to adjust camber on drivers side front, also noticed i may have a split CV joint gater as there was black oily sludge on inside of rim. Best bit of all was he didnt charge me anything......for freeeeeeeeee turns out he also runs a Rado so he was biast

going back monday to get priced up for powerflow zaust

looking good nelds, when your there can you price me up a 16v golf mk2 xorst system from 4 branch back, just wanting a straight pipe and backbox, cheers jim

will do the price may alter tho not knowing what sort of tailpipe to want.

if mine wasnt so low i was thinking of side exit

OMG I want a corrado, it's looks sexy as....fook!! Good work

finish your bloody Caddy first ....... cheers fella, i'm really liking driving it at the mo, just the zorst to sort, going to lose as many middle boxes as possible

went to Powerflow as planned, got quoted £340 for my zorst.....oouch!!

Jim, he reckoned it'd be a similar price for yours

Have a little look on ashley competition exhausts website, i've used them on every car i've had since i was 17, well over 20 cars. never failed me. cheap and reliable. a mate just bought a full system including manifold for his escort gti , for £270 delivered.

always had a soft spot for corrado's, simple transformation with a massive impact, like it a lot sir!

Love your choice and colour of wheels.Simple,clean and effective.Very nice job

haven't done much to the rado except wash it as i've been busy with this................new grill, new roof, new rims, new interior (free back seat from phil) new carpets etc........
