Haven't seen a rado on the road for ages, until last night when I was out for a pedal on the bike; Blackberry M plate going over the bridge at Crowthorne Station about 11pm... :clap:

lovely, cheers.. Watched a mk1 storm in green get towed by the DVLA a while back, was sitting on the verge outside an old boys house, went round to see if I could buy it as the rust was getting a hold and it needed saving, but he was adamant that it was a classic worth at least £10k and refused to sell... :cuckoo: :(

How far is your commute? What about cycling?

Discovered the original exhaust system had, after being on the car for 15 years, corroded badly enough to need replacing. Ordered a Milltek cat back system... better be good.... :?
-
Firstly :( pretty f'd off. Agreed to put a bike rack on the car for a trip and now have some nice scratches from it... never again...... Any ideas on the best way to remove/hide, its down to the primer in parts. Wondering if there are any miracle cures out there these days or if is tcut going to work, never used it before so a bit wary... Failing that, anyone recommend a company that could fix?

Looking a little shabby for the mileage... Wondering where that was imported from, not seen a high level brake light before (unless thats an aftermarket thing) Hints at a US import but the bumpers are Euro, and it states theres a 2.9 engine?! Money could would be OK if it wasn't an Auto, although I've only ever seen air con on the Auto so thats a selling point I guess....

Yey, after sitting for over a year the rado passed mot with just an advisory on corroded disks!!! on the theme of car tax... was going to get it online but can't find anything that says whether I can drive the car before the physical tax disk arrives, anyone know..?

Just add kickstart theme tune...

Something I hadn't watched for a few years but stumbled upon again today, you've probably all seen before but theres always a few who haven't so thought i'd put it up on here.. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=O22a0jQKcm4&feature=related Enjoy...

so any other effective methods of removing the glass intact from the bracket? started cutting the plastic bracket to get to it, but theres parts that i just cant cut being to close to the glass...

yeah, bonnet wedged shut, got them to get it down from the rack it was on so I saw the was engine there from underneath, didn't look that bad, not entirley sure why it was scrapped tbh....

How do I remove the fog light unit from the plastic surround, the replacements came from car in scrapyard and the plastic surround was damaged to the extent that it was taped to the car. I've done a search but found little, am I looking to remove just the glass or is there a way to remove the foglight unit? it seems to be clipped in with tabs but i can't see of anyway to remove this without damaging the tabs...

Is there a thread here listing the locations of Corrados in scrapyards in the UK? The A1 scrapyard on the bearwood road between Wokingham and Winnersh has a grey VR6 with grey leather interior if anyones interested, most parts there, including engine, I had a look at the interior, its in reasonable condition but the drivers seat is in need of repair, bolster shot etc. Only had the fogs off of it btw.
-
Another one for you, the revised roadgoing Caparo T1 is getting Corrado Mirrors, the recessed ones in the wing weren't too good apparently...
-
I have never found another car where you can only close one electric window at a time...

Aye, does looks sweet, pondering painting my rear lights all red actually, so influences going both ways....

Imagination time: Corrado colour schemes you like
Talc replied to boost monkey's topic in General Car Chat
The black with the orange reminds me of the Porsche GT3 colours. I do like this: I'd like to see what Corrado's look like in older VW colours too... -
Yes they did, got a full grey leather interior on mine...
-
The wiper conversion is a must... headlight loom upgrade is good but make sure you get a decent one, a friend bought one off e-bay and the quality was poor, the box with relays or whatever they are seemed designed to take on water as opposed to keeping it out... Sunroof could do with some grease in the runners too.. I think the sunroof installer at Karmann was allergic to grease as the sunroofs have none and tend to jam when full opening, taking a health dose of paint with them when they do...

Seen some good, some bad, the express weren't impressed with it, basically summed up as a golf gti with all the practcial parts removed... I've got mixed feelings of the look of it myself, just need to see it in the flesh to help decide i guess. It's probably going to come down to what top gear say about it for a lot of people.. and I do hope they review it in this series.
