    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!
