Did anyone that went to last weeks Elsecar meet take any pics of the White Corrado and the Black Cabby that were in the show and shine ?? Im a bit of a pic freak at any shows I go to and like to use up memory on my PC 8) :lol: but the pics I took of these two cars didn’t come out at all !!!! Ive been looking for an excuse for a new camera lol Any pics would be good Cheers J

iow_corrado_g60 When I bought the car it has similar mirrors on but they were both broken (It was parked on the street in Hammersmith :roll: ) So the base plates had already been sorted for me. My brother got some new mirrors and I just used three screws from the inside of the door to hold them on. the problem was that the prev owner has used fibre glass and filler to fill the OE mirror holes and it had started to sink :roll: So I welded them up and smoothed over before it went in for paint. Bobby Ive got a Seat Ibiza front splitter that has holes the exact same size as the Mk2 (Big bumper) front indicators, so Ive got some smoked ones in there 8) A few people said that it wouldn’t pass the MOT with the indicators being so low but it passed last September :D Some better pics

The painter is a mate called Dean and he's in Huddersfield. I haven’t got a phone number for him but if anyone wants directions then Ive got the address 8) A few people have been to see him after Ive pointed them in the right direction and they’ve all been very impressed with the work and the price :wink:

billinjahg60 Cheers mate :D Furk'z The Megs stuff might work but TBH there is a few scratches that the first bodyshop caused that can only be sorted with a fresh coat of paint :roll: The shop I use has just started out and has very few overheads so he does me some really good deals, Like £20 to paint both doors :wink: his work is A1 and I wouldnt go anywhere else now.

I took the car to Elsecar Cgti mega meet yesterday :D Its the first time ive ever entered a car into a show and shine competition and I really enjoyed it 8) I even got my G/F to wax the car while I went outside for a look around :D 8) I meet quite a few people and everyone that I spoke to had very positive comments about my car. Ive got some scratches and some small marks (like water marks) on the bonnet that I just cant shift so I was going to get the bonnet resprayed last week but the bodyshop I use had to shut due to family crisis. Apart from that the car looked pretty good IMHO :wink: As usual I forgot the camera but here’s a couple that Ive found :D

More sideshots 8)

Thanks guys 8) Its been a lot of stress but im getting it to how I want now. iow_corrado_g60 The mirrors are from a Yamaha bike but TBH im not 100% sure which one. When I got the car it had very similar mirrors on but they were bust so my brother found some replacements. The headlights are Inpro angel eyes that I completely took apart only 2 days after getting them and painted everything that wasn’t needed to reflect the light. I did take loads of pics as I did them but something happened to my cameras memory :( andy Funny you should say that because everyone seemed to be getting out of the way last Saturday as I was coming up the M6 8) including BMW's :wink:

Thought it was about time I posted some pics of my car 8) Its a 1990 1.8 16v that my g/f friend (Cat) bought me for my Christmas present 2004 8) I use the car everyday to get to work so about 250 miles per week. Last October Cat asked me what I wanted for Christmas and jokingly I said I wanted my car resprayed. Can you guess what I got :D :D :D It originally went into a bodyshop on the 14th Nov 2005 and it was supposed to only be there for 2 weeks. I finally lost my patience and pulled it 19 weeks later :mad: most of the work was done and Id only paid a £200 deposit so it ended up being quite cheap :lol: Since taking the car from them ive found a few things wrong like - both doors/rear panel/spoiler and sunroof being a slightly different shade of black :roll: I managed to find a small newly started bodyshop that have done a fantastic job of sorting all the problems and only charged me £200 if I promise to recommend him if anyone asks :D I have had some good luck however :lol: I managed to get a minty mint black leather interior which after selling my cloth seats and including travelling to London to pick it up only cost me £190 :shock: Next I want to start on the engine but im gonna enjoy the car for a bit seeing as its been off the road a lot because of idiot bodyshops.
