  1. Just looked on Vagcat... Part 535853393. Thanks, will contact dealer tomrorrow!
  2. As per above, Looking for the 2 bits of trim/bushings that hold the lower grille mounts in place. I seem to have lost mine. Thanks
  3. Still here. Open to offers!

    coilovers!

    I have a pair of JOM coilovers, fronts only. Lockrings will need unseizing but they appear sound. PM me if interested
  5. Car is now lowered... Opted for a Weitec 40/40 shock/spring Kit that I came across on eBay, the good thing about this is that Weitec are, in my opinion, very good! And the rears are height adjustable so can go down to around -80mm I think - which means that if I want to go lower at the front (more than likely!) then I will just need to get front springs and the rears can just be adjusted. New top mounts went on too. I'm yet to go for a spirited drive but she handles a lot better already! Got a new exhaust system to go on, a homebrew affair from eBay but it looks to be a straight through system to a Milltek stianless 'suitcase' silencer with a stainless rear box.
  6. I know this probably isn't much help but there are always a few on eBay at any given time! Expect to pay around 20/25 quid.
  7. Stealth quoted me circa £65/hr last week for a RR & tuning session. They recommend a 2hr session for a 1.8 16v. Definitely going to invest once i've got new injectors and timing belt
  8. As per above, Looking to make a straight-through centre pipe for my Corrado - unsure of the bore size. Can anyone assist?
  9. I've read around and found that Bosch injectors for a particular Mercedes model is a direct replacement for the Corrado. How much will I be expecting to pay roughly?
  10. Gave her a wash yesterday (first wash since I bought her back in August last year!) she didn't come up too bad: Halfway through a coilover nightmare! Coilovers I bought have seized lock rings, in touch with FK in Germany so that should hopefully be sorted soon. Bought a replacement metering head on eBay which was supposedly set up on a rolling road so i'll chuck that on ASAP - fuel economy isn't great currently. I need to have a thermostat fitted too as it's running cool which isn't great for economy either. (or keeping warm!) I have a lovely small stainless backbox that I got from a Scirocco, brother said he will adapt/weld it on for me: Also got a VW centre section for 99p on eBay (bid by accident!) and again, brother will assist and cut the silencer out for me.

    Rear Coilovers

    Rear Coilovers

    Looking for a pair of rear coilovers, I did need lock rings but I don't trust FK to supply the correct items so I am now looking for a set of rear coilovers. I have FK Highsports up front so I'd ideally welcome a set of rear Highsports, failing that please let me know what you have. I am located in Oxford. I travel to Bristol every now and then so something in Bristol or between both cities would be great!
  13. Bosch H3 bulbs, brand new boxed. £10 per pair collected from Oxford. Can post for £12.50/pair 3 pairs of Bosch H3 All weather/all season 1 pair of Bosch H3 Cobalt Plus 30 blue/white light 2 pairs of H3 Plus 30 - 30% brighter [ATTACH=CONFIG]77265[/ATTACH]
  14. Just purchased a pair of Lemforder jobbies from ECP for £33, that's with Club Polo discount so i'm happy with that. Thanks for the advice!
  15. As per above, Looking to fit coilovers ASAP and in need of some new top mounts. I know the quality of pattern parts varies so I was wondering if there were any trusted manufacturers that fellow members can recommend?
  16. Quick update post... Had to chuck the RX2's on with some half decent part-worns as I thought the budget tyres on the Sebrings were the source of a drone from about 40mph and above, I was wrong though and the noise is still there! (Sebrings are up for sale) Purchased new leads, cap & rotor arm and managed to break 2 hall sender wires last weekend as the hall sender plug was loose! Purchased a distributor and fitted yesterday and she has never been so good! (in my ownership!) next plan is to set the C02 and ignition timing as I timed it up by ear. Then I may buy new injectors. We'll see. Purchased some FK lights back in November: [ATTACH=CONFIG]76992[/ATTACH] Never wanted to fit them as they were so I tinted the bottom half red - fitted them today, need to T-Cut the red as they're a bit flat but I think they're alright so far...
  17. Many thanks but this is all sorted now and the Corrado is back up and running :)
  18. As per above, Need a new distributor with working hall sender. Martin
  19. As per above please, need one in working order i.e. both MFA1 & MFA2 switches working. Thanks!
  20. Will the backbox fit an early 16v? Any pics?
