    Respray

    dubbprince, just had some paint work done at a place in Newport Pagnell called Finishing Touch. I had quite a bit done and was worried about the paint matching but you wouldn't even know - it matches perfectly. Generally very happy with their work and customer service. There not the cheapest but they are reasonable and should get the work you want doing for the price you say. They've also resprayed a corrado before mine so they're getting to know their corrados now! I had a little bit of rust under the rear badge so asked them how much it would be to totally debadge the rear end whilst they were there. They said it would be 3 hours work to weld them up etc whereas to just sort the rust, colour code the vw roundel and tidy up the rear panel would take just one hour labour. I didn't think it was worth the money so just got it tidied up and im well happy 8) Their down Union street and there number is 01908 61818.
  3. Thanks to kevhaywire! Bought some standard size JBL rear speakers off him, he even threw in his 'modded' cradles to make it easier for me! Top bloke, cheers mate :mrgreen:
  4. Lovely clean car mate :D I love those wheels, they just look right dont they...
  5. Cheers exturbo2003, :) You nutta! Didn't think it would go any lower :lol: Must look the dogs...
  6. Thanks a lot! Think it'll be a saturday job - not looking forward to it! Why me :mad: :mad:
  7. This aint gonna be easy is it :roll: Could be another problem though - my passenger window isn't working that the moment so i cant get that down. Is it still possible to do it?
  8. Alrite mate, yeah i went to inters,didn't think much of it really. You go? Hows your car,you get that bonnet sorted out? :lol:
  9. I've had some problems with my doors not locking and while inspecting, the passenger door has decided to lock now - permenantly! Cant open from inside or out :shock: I've sorted out the locking of the offside door now so all is secure thankfully. Anyone ever had this happen and know of an un-drastic way of getting it open? Cheers Rob
  10. Looks well tidy mate, nice one :mrgreen:
  11. You have PM Kev :)
  12. I think the FKs use the same moulds as the inpros and both kinds dont fit particularly well! I've got the FKs and need to file the holes in the tailgate down a bit to get them to sit perfectly :roll:
  13. Theres a group buy going on for the inpro ones which are virtually the same but apparently better quality and 'E' marked. Dont think its too late to get in there... http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7730

    Ballys 16v

    BBS LMs would be my ultimate wheels me thinks followed closely by RS301s and the RCs 8)
  15. OSV, your car is stunning :-P . Perfect wheels, perfect colour! Im f*****g jealous, well done 8) Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the wheels? I'd say definitley colour code side mouldings or even junk them completley. I think it would look even more smoothe and classy :)

  22. Cheers DaveM, you seem to know your stuff with saabs! The saab is a 1979 900 2.0 turbo so probably a B motor as you say So this saab uses a pretty big turbo then which would ultimately give a fair bit of lag? I'd rather have a turbo with minimal lag as the 16v already suffers from taking ages to spool up! Cheers Rob
  23. Think i saw one of these on ebay. It looked like it was just a normal 16v metering head upper part with pipercross foam cradle on the bottom. Think the foam was all round therefore exposed to the engine side as well?
