@ dragon green Post # 16 : This might help,I wrote it about 18 months ago http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=88371 = = " it does indeed, Dragon, it does indeed... " and Many Thanks & Appreciation for both this ^ ^ ^ Post #16 above, and also that helpful Link to your original 09-Sep-14 thread article with its own educational & very helpful information... so, Ta x2 !!

@ Jon_vr6, Post # 10 : I'm apparently a nutcase... all i say is I'm thinking ahead. Rather have the part with me then spend a week finding a part == sound logic to Me, Jon... which makes experienced, 'non-nutcase' sense in the long run... I'm with your approach [and forward planning !!]

Cool, I've got red dials, blue LCD (reversed), red switches, blue ABS, blue climatronic LCD (reversed) with red buttons, blue stereo...can you see a theme :lol: I'll take a photo and post it up later of all the coloured goodies ! ^ ^ that'd be very good to see, please, eugopnosaj, Ta... ... and very helpful as it seems that you & I share the same taste in desired Corrado interior illumination : I've got the blue back-lit dial & red switches theme in my Mk3 Daily, which I achieved with Mk3.5 Cabrio OEM clocks & switches [ ie, without any bulb changes or-the-like ] and I'm aiming for that same scheme in my Corrado [via the right bulbs & a strip of coloured LED tape, as per your Post #8], together with the matching blue back-lit & red switches of the CLIMAtronic upgrade]... ...so your own outcome sounds to me very much my own ideal Regards & Appreciation of your helpful offer with the PIcs

sold The great Corrado interior trim giveaway - free stuff!
vagstuff replied to Purple Tom's topic in Parts for Sale
Hi, Being the hoarder that I've finally acknowledged I am (and am having extensive rehab for) I have kept every single piece of Corrado interior trim that I've ever acquired, in case it comes in useful in the future. That use is now more likely to be for someone else so I'm offering it all for free to the first person who comes to collect it. It consists of the following: x4 black gloveboxes x3 centre tunnel trims (front and rear) x2 sets of dash under trays and fuse box covers (no clips before you ask!!) x3 bootlid trim covers Plus various others random bits of trim as I find it. It is ALL black, so no cream coloured stuff unfortunately. I don't want to entertain having to post it for fear of it getting damaged and I'd just like it out of the way as soon as possible please, so first to come to get it wins it. Location is Derbyshire DE7. Thanks Tom ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mon 21-Dec-15 18:09 Good afternoon Tom, Yep, I'll take the lot, please... and I can collect as soon as tomorrow [Tues 22-Dec-15] to suit you... another nice 'stretch of the VR's legs' into the lovely Derbyshire and your Fab Unit !! I've just rung you but it's engaged, so I'll try again shortly, but thought I'd go 'old skool' and "get mi towel down..." via this thread. Regards, Thanks & I hope I've followed the right protocol with this ? to Jon_vr6 : if I can help out with those clips then I will, FOC... I'm not far from you [30 mins], and will happily drop them off over the seasonal break Robert ________________________________________________________________________________________________ -
Trimsport VW Corrado Carbon Fibre Rear Number Plate Holder
vagstuff replied to G60MAT's topic in Suppliers Forum
Yes please [as I dwadled & was too slow off the mark in the 1st batch]... and Many Thanks for doing a 2nd run -
Evenin' All, Many Thanks to the OP & subsequent thread contributors here, as I'm going through the same considerations as regards what I put on a set of 17" RX228's on my VR6 in the New Year, in either a 205 or a 215 / 40 / R17 profile : it's interesting that the narrowing-down of opinion [on this thread] is pointing towards a considered, focal recommendation of : tried&tested&proven Bridgestone RE002's... and Thank You, as ever, Goldfinger... very helpful viz mileage etc vs Rainsport 2's [or 3's, albeit I'm already dissuaded from the 3's] ... I've had very positive experience of Rainsport 2's [205/50/R15] on mi Mk3 8v Daily, which [for the most part] I drive in the style of a James May 'Captain Slow' manner, so as to maximise the day-to-day MPG, and I've managed 40k miles out of a set [including swapping fronts-to-back] That said, three things stick in my mind : 1] the VR gets driven more aggressively, and will also go onto coilovers at the same 17" RX228 wheel & tyre-fitting time in January 2] whilst I've always felt very assured in the wet with the Rainsport 2's on my Mk3 [and psychologically I like the tread's 'V' pattern, as it "just looks logical..." for maximum displacement], I've always had a 'nagging feeling' that the V-rated sidewalls seem a bit soft / 'baloon-ey', and that slightly puts me off going with them again on a VR6.... albeit the 17" 215 / 40 / R17 option does come in the XL-rated spec 3] what I'm wanting for my VR6 is a 'square' 40-profile sidewall, which is why I'm fancying a move to the Bridgestone RE002's with its XL spec [or possibly considering Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's ??]... ... with the RX228 being a 7.5J width I'm fancying that a 215 width with a firm, XL sidewall [ie, the Bridgestone RE002's XL characteristic, or perhaps the Rainsport 2 in an XL spec] would achieve that 'square sidewall' aspiration [i don't like the 'stretch' effect [u]at al[/u]l, which is what persuades me towards a 215 width ] So, for what I'm trying to achieve, what would be the considered recommendation between : Bridgestone RE002 XL Rainsport 2 XL ** Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 XL ** I guess if the Rainsport XL spec would solve my "a bit soft / 'baloon-ey' " sidewall reticence in the shallower 40 profile then maybe that's psychologically the one for me viz both tread pattern/assurance in the wet & the longevity experience [but I've read in one qualified Review that even the Rainsport's XL credential is still a bit soft on the sidewall ] ... ... the VR won't be getting 'ragged around', but it does get driven in a much more spirited fashion than mi Mk3 ! ie, even if I get 60% less life on a more spirited VR driving style then I'd still be very happy with a 15,000-a-set outcome And am I down the right lines with fancying a 215 width over a 205 width on a 7.5J rim ? Many Thanks for any opinions & assistance, and I hope this can be of help to the OP too in his deliberations ?

Don't be lazy with the advert if you sell either. Put as much information in it as possible, a good advert can add a good deal more to the sale price, as well as hugely reduce the amount of time its sold. Green VR6 Storm, low miles, good history, genuine reason for sale, call for more info. - won't cut it amongst enthusiasts. == sound advice, as ever, Sean

E30 arms and fitted with bosch aerotwin flat blades. Arms cost me £18 (ebay) and the blades £25 (Halfords trade) = great cheap upgrade Many Thanks, MZpog, for this really helpful commentary on your BMW E30 wiper arms and the 22" bosch aerotwin blades as a VFM cost-effective upgrade... . .. your thread updates & helpful Pics are much appreciated, as I'm currently going through this dilemma between E30 VFM vs going for the much-more-costly TT arms

Sun 08-Nov-15 23:41 @ JD Westy : Aye there's a pub called The Snakes Pass I keep meaning to visit ,lets make a date ....... I drive my VR daily year round so don't need to wait for fair weather : ) @ Chris Smith : ... A little meet up at Snake Pass Inn could work in the meantime. @ VR6 Lee : Yep == count me in, Gents, for either the Cat & Fiddle or the Snakes Pass Inn... and, like J D Westy, winter's fine with me too if it can happen... and "Many Thanks" to Lee for getting this potential ball rolling, and Chris and 'JD' for also enthusing about it possibly happening this side of Christmas, Ta x3
