  2. The question isn't should I smooth my bay or not..
  3. Was the question 'what is your opinion of smoothed bays?' No. Your opinions are irrelevant. Keep em coming guys!

  5. I wouldn't recommend cutting it, you'll be left with years of grief.. I take it the arches aren't yet rolled? That'd be first step..
  6. Its my brothers address, who cares! :lol: :cheers: :bonk:
  7. My brothers mk2 parked up on the main road.. turn the corner and it's there again! :lol:
  8. Agreed! Easiest way if you only want to take one photo is one through passenger door. The amount of cars for sale I see with NO interior photos is just as boggling!
  9. Guru's pushing it :lol: I just went through all the options when I put a FMIC on mine.. Hardest part is finding a 180 outlet! Quite why Classic Parts are doing the AC cooler though I have no idea! I'm pretty sure it wasn't even that common in Europe..
  10. The one you've linked is the smaller, almost 'top mounted' cooler for cars with air con. These aren't suitable for the Corrado bay. The one advertised is the full, front mounted G60 version, which is slightly narrower than the rallye one. This IMO is the best suited for a Corrado as you don't need to cut the towing eye to fit it. Price is about right, these sell for £250-£300.
  11. That'll depend if it's a mk1 or a mk7 gti :lol:
  12. The closest we'd ever have to a modern day Rado is the quattro concept..
  13. If you're selling parts, put a price up. As it stands I offer £1 for each of the above.
  14. i'd imagine you might not be in luck.. this thread is 3 years old!
  15. They do indeed! much, much more so that I thought it would. I made a start on the headlights today, one side down, other to go!
  16. Theres a layby across the road from my mates house at the cribbs junction.. http://goo.gl/XgBy4A
  17. Looks great bud, very clean also! Cheers bud, S club all round! :lol: Hmm. I'm not gonna lie, fuel isn't great! A full tank is 70ish quid and gives 200 miles, however I do town driving only. With motorway if I'm doing a distance this goes up to 300 miles. Having said that I only do about 50 miles a week, so a tank lasts a month and if I'm doing motorway it's at 97, so could be improved upon! Running costs - great! I've had no issues with the car at all and spent money mainly because I wanted to. Cambelt etc was more expensive than a 'standard' car, but thats been the only major expense. For what they cost, they're a very, very capable car.
  18. Not quite! Players Pat! He has an account but isn't very active on forums.. I can't remember the username though!
  19. Thats Pat's Rado.. as above, painted 'm3' rears.. it's the dechroming of the outers that makes them look factory - plus they'll have been done at a bodyshop, he defo won't have touched them :lol:
  20. wow! knew it was too cheap! Looking forward to seeing what's a worthy replacement!
  21. Thanks guys, it's an absolute pleasure to own. Old enough to keep me interested, new enough to cause me no issues! I miss Corrado ownership, although I do look over my shoulder when I park up, it's still not quite as exciting as looking back at a rado.. however, full time ownership will have to wait at least a few years for me now. [crypticanswer]There will be corrado related updates soon, but a daily isn't on the cards. [/crypticanswer] :smug: For now I'm planning on sorting all the little bits on this car and have another estate planned for afterward, but not in a hurry. Cheers Baz
  22. SO what's Baz been up to after leaving the Corrado fold I hear you all cry.. Well as i've just added a thread on AudiSRS I thought I'd copy/paste for you to see too! The basics: Audi S4 Avant - PFL B5 Volcano Black Pearl Black leather/Blue alcantara I bought the car [i don't do 'names' or 'he/she' so it will remain called 'the car' throughout the thread :lol:] last August as a replacement for my previous daily - a mk4 golf estate. I'd been running that and had a couple of garage projects and decided a fast daily that covers all basis would make more sense! The car I found was solid, with only a peppered front end and and some servicing work due so a deposit was placed and it was bought home from Essex on my way back from the Belgian GP! Within a week the car was in the bodyshop having the front end painted. One returned from there, it was straight into the garage for an oil change and to have Supersport Coilovers & the wheels fitted. They're 19x9 Touareg Atheo with 215/35 tyres. The wheels are ET60, so 20mm adapters were used. From start to finish the transformation took 3 weeks! The car now sat well and was ready for its first outings - Forge action day at Castle Combe & Players at North Weald. Fulled up ready for weekend.. Meeting a younger sibling at Castle Combe.. No blue tape! Freshly painted front end on route to Players.. With the car dropped down, I was experiencing some rubbing on the front arches, so they had a gentle roll to accommodate the wheel width. They now still well, with no contact at all. So after a couple of months of enjoying the car it was time to start sorting the annoying jobs.. FIS repair, done by Jason - [email protected], who came well recommended on here. That saw me through winter, with only enough time outside for maintaining the waxing! Then a neighbour decided the paint looked too good! So we were off to the bodyshop again to get the rear bumper sorted. There had been a couple of slightly annoying small marks anyway, so I wasn't too upset about a note being left - I'd have got round to doing it anyway! Normal service resumed.. http://distilleryimage3.ak.instagram.com/5b301f74a4a211e3942f12aef9ad78f3_8.jpg I had the bookpack with the car when I bought it, but no actual service receipts to confirm when first cambelt change was done. As the mileage was at 130k, I started worrying the second belt could be due/overdue. After researching best parts to use, I had the cambelt, tensioner and waterpump changed. Many thanks to Trig - http://audisrs.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=545 for the tool loan! I also had the gearbox & diff oils changed as again I had no record of them being done. Avenue Drivers Club meet at Queens Square, Bristol Spring action day at Castle Combe. Private parking! The start of the summer.. VW & Audi track day at Castle Combe. Which takes us up to now! This weekend I've been sorting more little jobs that need attention: Scratches on the Instrument cluster polished with 'polywatch' - used to fill scratches on plastic watch glasses. Drivers seat alcantara defuzzed, using a razor.. massive difference! Next job - Headlight lenses! Thanks for reading, Baz
  23. I sold a massive collection as a kid in the late 80's for pennies.. it still upsets me to think what they'd be worth! :(
