  1. coolrado, true, but youve gotta be crazy to leave stuff in the glove box these days.. plus, the boot is fully lockable with the roof down.. and its about the same size :lol:
  2. its taken me a while to come to a decision, the car has huge potential with the roof down, but with it up its veryvery ugly.
  3. Hmmm.. My first thought as a MINI dealer is there's probably two sides to this story. I dont know if thats copied word for word, but what has a glovebox fault got to dowith her convertable roof!? And a delay on a lock for a glovebox doesnt really warrent the dealer being named in person before the issue put forward for BMW customer relations to have an input. However, I can understand her frustrations!
  4. Blimey Jay! cant believe how quick this has all been. I've been away for the week with MINI, but richard has been keeping in touch with Ben about a possible sale. Didnt realise it had all happened. Good luck with the new car.. Ill be looking forward to the results.
  5. way hay! thats great news.. between this and pron ill never leave the house!
  6. Cant see how watching two blokes in dresses is gonna help :lol: I have some pics on the pc at home of where to drill. ill post em up next week.
  7. ahh sh!t bud, thats rubbish. at least youre not on a training course all week and got to go to NR :lol:
  8. wash the car, then use 50/50 [i think!] vinegar/water on a soft cloth over the whole area. then wash again and polish then wax.
  9. PM replied, ive just had an email from DDI to say the dials are back in stock, if someone wants to speak to Dinkus about arranging a group buy im definatly in.
  10. if it gets built just like that im getting one.
  11. i sold my 16v last year to make way for a G60 that was knackard bodywork wise, but with a good engine. I havent looked back. 8)
  12. winner! yup, ill take em for $67 if you're happy to post em. PM me paypal details or bank details if you prefer. cheers, Baz.
  13. yeah was a real shame about the car, but if you're offered ex amount to PX your car and cant get the same amount to arrange to transfer it to some random guy in england, what are you gonna do?!
  14. our wheel refurbisher at work is called jinx, perhaps you could get a namesake discount :lol:
  15. mike_g60, i wouldnt be too worried about the rear 1/4s, as you've only got about an inch gap at the end of the rails that may notice. If you blend them as well, you start bringing the rest of the sides in, which will be more obvious as they're at the same angle as other panels. I say roof only or whole lot!
  16. Do not change the recaros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you're thinking of retrimming them, dont. Buy a set of MK2 Golf Recaro cloth front seats, put them on the rado subframes, and retrim them, putting the originals in the attic [or my car]
  17. there should be details about the headlights on the site or on the corrado club of canadas website. Use the search here and you will find plenty of info about them.. they've been a hot topic! Again, id recommend speaking to dinkus about setting up a group buy etc, as hes in contact with zarmann. Cheers, Baz.
  18. a very rough guide: £150-£500 I would budget at least £200 for a decent job, depending whos doing it. Its easy in that you dont have to worry so much about the colour match as you would with a side panel and theres less likely to be any dents, however, allow for removal of sunroof/offer to do it yourself to keep cost down
  19. Your only plug and play option is to take the subframe from a set of corrado recaros.. rare and expencive. good luck with the butchering!
  20. too right! me too! 8) Dinkus is friends with Zarmann from DDI, http://www.dubdesignindustries.com/cata ... cts_id=178 he comes on here every now and then. Last time i checked, they were out of stock of the dials. You do the reverse led your self, theres a thread about it if you use the search. there rings are available from http://www.tachoringe.de/ can work out cheaper to buy from there, as they get sent from there to DDI. If you email DDI they will get back to you with dial availability, or contact dinkus to see if he can arrange another group buy. HTH, Baz. P.S... I'm definatly up for a set of dials if a group buy gets sorted.. they also did blue tinted wingmirrors last year. i want a set of those too!
  21. i hate it when the ron fairy visits me in bed. :cry:
