    metallic paint

    what is the best way to get rid of surface scratches in metallic paint.
  5. Am tidying up my corrado and have noticed a thin strip on both the drivers and passenger door. It runs on the inside of the door aand is parrallel with the door rubber. It seems to be some sort of seal as it runs the whole length of the door, Thing is it is bubbling and peeling away from the paint and looks unsightly(paint underneath is fine. Can I remove it? How do i remove it?
  6. My corrado has a different key for the passenger door to the rest of the car. Is there a way to make all locks the same, i.e can I get a lock for the passenger door to match the rest? Apparently the previous owner had to change the door handle but why would you change the lock?
  7. just out of interest how did you pay?
  8. I am considering starting to do my own work on my mk2 Golf gti. May then move onto the corrado! I have done an oil and filter change, air filter. I think the front brake pads are starting to bind, they are a bit low. So need changing really. They start to squeak/squeal when they get hot which stops when you apply the brakes I have been looking at the Haynes manual as a start, and it seems that you only need basic tools Seems okay, just need to get some copper grease and a set of brake pads. Have to admit to being very wary about working on the brakes as if you make a mistake you could bascially end up killing yourself! Is there anybody in the wrexham area who I could turn to for help if i get into difficulties? Bit cheeky I know but am p****d off at paying garage charges. Hell they charge 7-8 times more than i earn per hour!
