Hi guys, I finally bought my first Corrado Monday.
Walesy replied to Rento_VW's topic in General Car Chat
190mm lip :shock: :) The car looks lovely mate, and in my favourite colour too. Whereabouts in California are you from? -
Ignition switch or barrel? - got in my car this morning and the key literaly refuses to turn, I assume it;s the barrel that's fooked?
-
Looks like Bordeuax red to me mate, the paint code should be on a sticker on the inside of the rear panel (in the boot) and also on the first page of the service schedule booklet in the owners pack

Noisekiller under bonnet foam/sound suppressant.
Walesy replied to shawshankkid's topic in Suppliers Forum
Sounds fair to me, i'm having a new bonnet which will need painting cos i've got a couple of dents in mine so i'm gonna need some, it's a late ('95) car so stick me down on the list :) -
Aqua blue with cream interior is one of the best combos IMO
-
:oops: If you can buy it back, i'd be interested in the bonnet if it's in good condition and not too expensive..

It might be worth adding who you're insured with to your posts, it could be usefull for others.

:( - Shame! , is it a twilight violet?

The window control unit might be buggered mate, it's located behind the drivers side rear interior panel. -
Absolutey loving the ronals mate, IMO it needs to be a tad lower and it'd look perfect 8)

Cheers for the reply. Here's a list of what's available: So i'm assuming that won't be all I need?

What exactly is needed when doing a TDI conversion? i've seen a 130 PD engine and 6 speed box for sale - can anyone give me a list of EVERYTHING i need to whack it into a 16v or 8v rado? cheers

Top Gear... back Sunday night with 'that' Golf!
Walesy replied to jazzdevil's topic in General Car Chat
:lol: - indeed! - the little scrotum is fast becoming my least favourite of the three tosspots. They make it unwatchable for me, I got as far as the end of the golf bit and had to turn over and that will be it for this series for me. -
Yip.

Great to see this car being looked after so well 8) , it was in a right state when I bought it.

It'd have to be the TVR for me, they may be a PITA but it'd be worth it every time you took it out. Shame to hear you're thinking of getting rid but it doesn't really suprise me. Someone's gonna get themselves a very nice Corrado as and when you do sell, and not one that you see whored at every given oppertunity either. P.S your ghey.

I have to be honest dude, I really can't see why you would rather have that on your drive than your lovely 24v rado but I spose I would say that being a rado nut :) Me and my missus have often said we'd like a leon though as a 2nd car, they look far better on the road than most modern cars IMO - and that looks like a nice one too! enjoy dude.

I'd agree with the others, I wouldn't pay any more than £2k

Do you ever have dreams involving your Corrado?
Walesy replied to joebloggsVR69's topic in General Car Chat
:lol: Grumpy fecker -
Nice work mate :) I saw your car in Crantock beach car park the other night, I assume you were in the surf (what little there has been recently!) Next time I see it there i'll know where to go for the DVD player :lol: :wink:

Do you ever have dreams involving your Corrado?
Walesy replied to joebloggsVR69's topic in General Car Chat
I still have dreams about my first corrado now and then :( - I've had many rados in the years since I sold it but none have come close to it, it was a really well made example. I rang the bloke I sold it to last summer to see if he'd sell it back and he wasn't interested as he still loves every minute of owning it - which I 'spose is a concilation. -
My mother in law lives on a hippy commune in S.France, it's a beautifull part of the world and you can get ALOT for your money out there, my missus and I have considered it as an option - but France is certainly not somewhere that you can just get on with your own thing and be left alone, there's a hell of alot of red tape over there.

Yep, as time goes by we seem to be having more and more restrictions/laws/rules put on us, it seems to make some people in our society feel safer. I can see myself moving to NZ in the future.

I remember driving up someones arse years ago 'cos I was lighting a 'cigarette' and not looking where I was going :lol: - luckily it was in crawling traffic so there was no damage and the guy let me go on my way, I 'spose I was let off lightly. Fortunately, I no longer smoke and now live in an area that has no traffic so the chances of that happening again are zero 8)
