Oh right, well it sounds like you've got the same setup as me there and I too don't think I'll be doing the ABS upgrade from a MK3. I think with the new discs it'll cure the wobble under braking and that's good enough for me, like you say the brakes will never be as good as newer systems, but I'm sure a little bit more tinkering and they'll be as good as they can be. Anyway many thanks fender, that's one issue sorted haha.

Ok cheers fender, I've added braided lines to the system aswell, so with some new discs and maybe another through bleed they'll be up to scratch. Dude, as Dox has said I live in Mansfield but I work in Lincolnshire at Coningsby during the week. Whereabouts are you and what have you got?? I can collect if not far :)

Evening All, Right I apologize if this has been asked/discussed before but what front discs are you using on your VR6's and what is the general opinion on grooved/slotted discs?? I've just done a 288mm upgrade on my fronts and unfortunately the old pair of what I thought were good plain Pagid discs from my donor MK3 are abit warped so going to change soon and looking for some wisdom :) Cheers.

Hi, the glass is the only problem with it, due to the crack in it. But I would prefer to buy an entire unit that's in good order rather than just the glass. How much you asking for an entire unit?? Also do you want my old unit, if the glass is changed then that's another one u could sell on...?? Cheers.

Hello ladies and gents, I'm after a complete headlight unit for a VR6, passenger side. Mine currently has a stone chip in it that looks like a bullet made it and my MOT is due :( Even just the glass would be great if anyone has one... Thanks.
-
Ah wow awesome :) Well it's good to have someone who knows what they're on about on the other side of the desk!! I'm sure I'll be in contact fairly regularly now haha
-
Not sure tbh. Though he has now said he's spoken to someone in Nottingham and they should have some that are hopefully the same. Won't find out till next week now though :( Do you work at Volkswagen then??
-
Mansfield. The chap there said they were discontinued 2 years ago apparently...
-
That part number according to VW is now no longer available :(

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I'm after the little countersunk screws that fix the ABS ring to the hub for the front. I'll have a look at that website. Cheers

Hello all, I'm currently in the middle of restoring my VR's suspension and running gear and I'm wondering if anybody knows anywhere to get nice new fasteners?? Cheers
-
Ah right ok Goldfinger I'll have a look at that at some point, thanks. Hi Sean, haha yes I'm one of the other two Corrados on base, seen yours quite a few times, very tidy :)
-
Hey Goldfinger, No I haven't got a thread in the members bit yet, what's that about??
-
Cheers Chuggs, Yer the Corrado is a great car, definitely my favourite car I've owned so far and the VR6 lump certainly is a reliable and acoustically awesome engine too. The car is currently going through a suspension and brake restoration and modification phase. So very excited to see the results :D
-
Hello everyone!! Haha just stumbled on this thread, the chap in the photo is me with my VR6, not a bad little article hey!! Thank you all also for your kind comments :)
-
Hi Matt, Tbh I'm not currently in need of one, tho if I may ask, is there any way of getting the illumination in the switch to match everything else in its original green colour, or is mine just a bit worn. Think it's pretty cool that these are availible again too, nice one :)
-
Ah right ok cheers.
-
Sorry to ask this question, but have you got a pic of one of these shiny switches??
-
Still waiting on yours Dan, guessing it hasn't got through...
-
Ok cheers Dan, hopefully it'll come through this time :) I've emailed you my mailing address, let us know if its come through, otherwise we'll have to do this via phone Cheers
-
Righto I'll email you my mailing address now. :) Ahhhh that explains my last post, I didn't get the email with the pics of the box.
-
Very nice pics Dan, was hoping to get one of the paperwork stating they're VR6 compatible but otherwise looking awesome :D How do you want to do the payment stuff then?? Email me your account details and I'll email you a mailing address??
