Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Rado across the ditch

    I have just jammed my new rims on my rado so thought I might share a pic or two with you lads - now with BBS RS 003 16x7.5" and 16x8.0"

    I hunted NZ for nearly 3 years for a set of these wheels and built them up to what they are now over the past few months:

    -Original barrels
    -Mirror polished 1.5" lips front, 2.0" lips rear
    -Original nuts & bolts all mirror polished and still with BBS scripting on all
    -Half height centre caps
    -New BBS emblems
    -195/45/16 Kumho Ecsta Sport tyres
    -Centres and barrels powder coated in 'vivica paladilim silver comet' - looks different in all sorts of light, it's a dark metallic silver but looks like battle ship grey in some pics.

    Probably a bit OCD and OTT for most people on here but hey, I have the disease and really like them* ;D

    Bit of an update with my Corrado.

    I sold the wheels to a guy in Luxembourg and made some other changes.

    Removed side strips
    Added 16v badge on grille
    Lupo GTI wipers
    Smooth front bumper
    New coilovers

    Refurbed my other set of rs003:
    16x8 et12
    16x8.5 et6
    Gun metal metallic centres, polished everything else, chrome bolts.
    195/45/16 rubber all round.

    I have also ordered some Weitec Hicon TX (height & damper adj.) coilovers from the States and have some 195/40/16 T1Rs coming in from London (can't get them here!!). Tyres and new coilovers are due here in December and when they arrive I will be able to go LOWER.












    I also sold my mk1 RatPig!
