I don't mind them. BBS still look the best though.

Decent BBS are over £1k.

Plus everyone with fancy wheels ends up raving on about the handling when they have to switch back to the 15" standard wheels

These look so boxy and dated nowadays, sticking a set of aftermarket wheels on it won't change that fact.

The panels are odd colours and quite a few patches I've done with rattle cans.

Going to try and rebuild my old engine myself. Then swap back.

This needs the fog light intake mod to make it look newer.

Not exactly original, but all the Corrado's over here seem to run Borbet T or A wheels. Perfect wheels for the car imo.

I was going to suggest Borbet A's, you need some dish on the wheels.

Cleaned it at the weekend, only took one pic, took me nearly 7hrs



Clayed it, Lime primed, then collinite 915 wax, i also machine polished the windows with ClearVue and tried to treat the exterior plastics, but thinking i may have to paint the handles, bumpstrips and roof trims instead.

I didn't bother with it tbh

Ordered some of that IronX stuff i keep seeing pics of, hoping that will clean the wheels up. Also got a bottle of poorboys natural look for the interior.

And just ordered a short shifter kit for it.
