Going to get these wheels on the car then I'll decide whether to hord sorry keep the comps just in case I change my mind......... I'm gonna need a bigger shed I think[emoji15]. Yeah I'll try to put a little how to together, the only problem is, it takes a long time in between colour/clearcoats for it to dry properly and you really need to do it with 2 pack lacquer so it drys as hard as the surrounding lacquer, as 1k lacquer will never dry as hard and it just polish's away if you get what I'm trying to say........... basically it's a right ball ache!

Wants to go a bit lower now kelly! [emoji87]

Its a massive bonus being a time served machinist [emoji6]

I used to run them on my mk4 GTI and it was far from standard had a non too shabby 310bhp and they were fine I thought

that was the only tyre our suppliers had in stock in 195/40 17, though I may get brave and try a 185/35 17 which would be almost the same rolling radius as my 195/40 16's on there now, only nankang make those though! I don't want to have to wind my coilies up that's against my religion![emoji23]

Hi you will probably be best off going for an oe one and keeping your eye out on eBay would probably be your best bet trying to find one, though they are quite rare and tend to go for £150+, hope that helps[emoji106]

Great work! Now share the beer! lol

Baby got booty #obsessed

Nice wheels mate Price on the Gold ones maybe?? However what I really wan't (if you get the time between fitting wheels) is a write up or little how to on how you took on the stone chips. After a chat at VW Festival you said you dabbed a few in and flattened them back. The finish was perfect... A little guide maybe I could make a sticky in the body work section!! Need to do my own but no matter how I do it they end up looking like a teenagers forehead fuck sake... Also have a massive key scratch on my 300 I want to tidy up.... Only if you don't mind sharing your secrets chap..

Sounds like you're a lot more into it than me, I just wanted a pond so I could throw food in there and stare at fish after a shitty day of working on cars![emoji23] might have to have a chat with you about ulcer problems though, lost a couple this year[emoji35]! Anyway back onto the correct subject! These turned up yesterday BBS Avantgarde design S in 8x17 5x100; [emoji16] Ordered up a 195/40 17 nankang ditch finder pro or whatever it's called[emoji3] to give one a try, Took her into work today as the sun was out, got the air con re gassed; it's all working spot on now[emoji41]I'm sorry but

Bought in some pipe for external wastegate, so got on with that. Decided against a screamer pipe, think she'll be load enough

haha. love this site, so agricultural.

Those nankangs aren't too dreadful to be fair, there's a lot of modded cars that wear them!

They look nice! Always liked those wheels, I'm with Bealieboy though, needs more lows!

My 1995 corrado vr6 65k miles from new. 1 old lady owner from new. Only done a couple of hundred miles in it in last 5 years. The last vr6 corroda peter cooper hedge end southampton sold.

I paid a oner for my oem one and it is v good condition. They do as Ben says make £150+ all day long though!

Whats the question bud? You wan't to know how to fit it or you are looking to purchase one??

They remind me of Borbet C's I think they were. They look good Ben

That looks a lot different now Ben. What's with the ditch finders though?! [emoji23]

Thing is mate I am planning on stripping this engine bare and rebuilding it with a much higher spec and once rebuilt it will only run on race fuel, the stand was the best one I could get so fingers crossed it will hold. It's only gonna be in the stand for about a week then it's gonna all be in pieces and cleaned I am just researching all my options for cleaning and increasing the piston size.

Definitely Ben. I never wanna hear that thunder noise again. Haha [emoji85]

Cheers Dave. I'm gonna get the 24v in over the winter but I'm gonna smooth my engine bay and paint it while the engine and box are out

Wow this engine is dirty!!!!!

Can't beet a nice set of BBS i have a set on my JAG, I want some for my VR6.

So the scroll is looking good ! Got my spacers now for dual idlers. Next on the list is to sort the other spacer And also waiting on sump to arrive Getting boost intake made up in stainless as mine has seen better days.

Oh yeah, hark who's talking, or should I say sleep talking?! I won't embarrass you publicly Ben, but you did have rather a lot to say for yourself that night in your sleep. It must have been the wife beater/ bulmers combo! [emoji23]

After that she pretty much sat on the drive or locked away for around 18 months. I don't think this did the car any favours at all to be honest. However she did fit in with the rest of our cars rather nicely! After cleaning the car a few times I noticed small amounts of rust etc arches wings and such so decided a respray was in order. I tried none original wings and they failed looked like shite. However I have seen how these can be fitted to a top notch standard since. So my views have changed. However I paid a small fortune for genuine. This was her all prepped waiting to go to the
