tiny (solid ) brakes , can i upgrade to 16v with no problems ?  you will need to change the carriers, calipers, and tbh there isn't any point.

does the corrado front end bolt straight on ? No, and it won't do apart from a major front end rebuild, and would still look naff. [/b]

anybody got any big bumpers for sale ?  check the for sale section

also have an annoying rattle front end , thought it was the grill , but ruled it out , any ideas ?  exhaust heat shield on the bulk head

surely 16v brakes will b better than the tiny things on it now ? i just got rid of my mk3 1L polo and by the looks of it they had the same brakes ?
is the heat shield a common problem , couldnt actually see 1 , will check tmora tho

It's only 72 bhp mate, the brakes are fitted to the car that will stop and surpass the requirement to stop per engine size and car. Hence the 139bhp 16v having 256 vented discs. There is no point in upgrading unless you are going to run a lot of power and require the stopping power.

Anyone on here with a driver will no doubt tell you the same.  :smiley:

when i used to have a driver and rag the sh!t out of it i found the brakes were pretty good in comparison with the power it had stopped pretty well.

Slick what does IIRC mean?

as slick said they are 72 bhp, or 75PS depending on what way u look at it!  :nerd:

welcome to the forum by the way pitchy, u got alot planned for your driver?, any pics?

Yeah but they still need an injection point of some sort, and i thought they were single point, not multi.  :undecided:

cant you fit vented disks off an 8v gti or are they all vented at the fronts?

I did this on my mk2 polo coupe  :smug:
