FAT 'N'LOW CORRA-DO!

u know i will mate! what are the standard lights like then? i never even noticed these all red's were any different?!

dropped it to within 2 threads of the bottom on the rear coilies,aint rubbed yet but i did have my trusty hammer to hand just to make sure there were no issues! i think the splitter is bottoming out before the wheels scrub so thats sort of a bonus?!

nice one man i hope u can still roll that low from now on just keep off that hump back bridge in trusthorpe lol
lets have a look at her

will get some pics up 2mo mate,not looking too bad! cleaned all the windows on the inside and gave it a quick polish and tidy so its a nicer place to be! not even gonna attempt the humpback,reckon i might get beached! the backroads closed as of next monday so i thought perfect time to give it a go!

For tinting your lights, have a look on the Corrado Forum.There's a guy that sells tinting film (I think he has a post in the Ebay section). It's £18 for enough to do both headlights, and he has a few options (yellow, light tint, gunmetal i think)
And the light on your headlight switch only comes on for sidelights, I checked mine this morning Either that or my switch is biffed too

lol yeah mine comes on with sidelights!! will look into the tints,im sure dubway does somesort of printing,maybe he can do it?! i think wayneyb off here can get that sort of stuff n all,will have a word! cheerz tho matey!

What is it your after exactly? Tint on the outside of the lights?
or the insides blackening?

just some tint for the out side,quick and easy fix,with dramatic effect,if the head lights go well could do front indicators and fogs!

Im abit amature at doing lights and stuff tbh, i have only done work on my own, and without looking at the lights close up i cant assess how hard it would be to do. Like i dont know if they curve, in or out... left to right up and down, if you know what i mean... say your trying to sticker up and egg, you will get loads of corners on the stickers, and if its on the light you will be able to tell really easy.
I just bought in some tint rolls to do my windows, i will see how much offcut i will have. But i can buy you an entire roll in if you want? its like £7 + postage, ill get the size later if you want.

cool! i reckon u wont get much easier than rado lights,not concaved like mk3s,nice flat rectangles so should be a bit easier than tinting an egg!!lol

practice on your head?

cheaky twat!! ure as bald as me!!!lol

got some pics today,testing the camera out as it was playing silly buggers,not done alot since the last pics,drilled my airbox as i cant see why vw didnt position the air feed better rather than behind a headlight wind brake,so i drilled it inconspicuously and run a cool air feed,cheerz dyson for that!!lol oh and the rear is finally even now and the front is dropped but i need to bite the bullet and let other slim have my deep chin spoiler otherwise its not gonna be much use to anyone,roads round here are toss!







oh and my boys playing silly buggers!!

is it starting to look a little redder,been caining it with polish every chance i get!?

Looking awesome dude. Have you knocked the snorkel out of your airbox? And removed the the Carbon Canister?

eh? nope im guessing,which bits are they? i had a look at it all but werent too sure what i could chuck away coz i know what vw mafs are like! expensive!!!lol

the snorkle is at the front of the airbox, got a little opening already but can knock more out,
And the Carbon canister is the black cylinder under the airbox, has a few pipes attached to it.

whats that do then the carbon cannistor? the front is just pointless might knock it all out 2mo,but it is a bit of a toss design fault!lol

It was some kind of filter, for the fuel tank vent but at this age it's pointless.
Have a search on the corrado forum, it'll tell you which pipes need blocking etc.
And then you have a lovely big whole for a cold air feed from the brake duct

nice one dude,will check it out,u going to spring fest?

hmmmmm i dont know if im being thick but i dont remember seeing anything under the air box,i see something on the side which was round and had a small hose attatched,but i took the whole bottom half of air box out to drill it and never noticed?! maybe being an old one it doesnt have it?! tried rado forum but i cant fin much using he search bar. snorkel is going in the bin tho!

Not sure yet, depends if my pipes turn up in time.

The CC should go through the intter wing, about 2 1/2 inches diameter. it might be just behind the airbox actually. Not had one for a while

right will have a look on mine 2mo and take some pics so i dont chop something off,is it attatched to the air box,coz it didnt come out with it?!

no it's bolted to the wing, whip it out, and put a cold air feed pipe in there, attach it to the brake duct
