yep, catch on litterally everything, small stones, cats eye etc etc :grin: part of the reason im running the later spec splitter on mine.
but lets face it, standard height corrados need an oxygen supply to the cabin theyre so high.

i am finding it hard to sell though proberly because its a cat c
i need the money to plough into the golf and get a cheaper car
as this is my daily
-
well a good thing has happened
a van cut a roundabout and took the front wing and bumper out
been driving it around until i could get it into the bodyshop
had the wing repaired also had the changed the bonnet to the early one as my vr bonnet was dented
so that was painted along with both sides and the front bumper
looks a pretty tasty raddo now get some pics this weekend
only trouble i had is it is leakin water after it came out the bodyshop not sure if something has been knocked
rad weld sorted it out today
off to get some electrics done next week as they are a bit of a mess at the moment and i have a few issues
with them
driving home in the dark from the bodyshop i hit a huge pothole bent the wheel and put the abs light on but it seems to have fixed itself lol
but i might decide to keep it a little longer now or at least until my golf is on the road again

Nice car, i like the before pics if im honest...
have you still got the oil breathers instead of a breather pipe?does it not effect the running??
