Questions questions questions...

1. Dirty Engine Bay... Can you buy anything to keep the engine bay clear of road grime? Cos its disgusting at the mo despite repeated cleaning! 

2. Wheel spacers... Any good places to get these? And good places for extended bolts too?

3. Corrado/Mk2 Coilovers... Same diff? I.e. can I buy coilovers for my Golf and then carry them over to my next car 

Cheers all

1 Wish I had an answer to this.
2 Try aftermarket wheel specialists. Buy a chav car mag for the adverts.
3 Spring strength may be different, certainly will if you get a VR6 Corrado. Speak to Richard at Venom Motorsport.

1) I run the undertray from a MK3 Golf to keep the majority of crap out. It just needed a bit of modifying.
2) Wouldn't touch FK Automotive spacers with a stick on a MK2 as they don't fit the rear hubs properly ( thats what I found anyway)
3) IIRC the Corrado has MK2 Golf Running Gear upfront but Passat running gear on the back so ensure they are interchangable before buying.

Could be interesting!

Still researching the other two... But thinking universal spacers are a bad idea and looks like the best thing to do is spend a bit more money on something like these...
