i'd happily pay £5k for a really good one, its worth it if its actually mint. I'm sure a properly mint A1 condition example would be worth more. I think the next 5yrs will be quite interesting, as the 2nd parts values seem to be going mad, yet people struggle to sell a complete car. I don't think the prices will drop anymore, but corrados will be getting rarer. There always seems to be 3-4 being broken each time i look in classified section. What are mk2 golf prices like at the moment?
-
Yeah, i should really get out and meet up with some fellow corrado fans. always seems to be something up with my car when the chance comes around :lol: it should be back on the road by the time the roads aren't so dirty
-
have you got the pink G12+++++++++ coolant? really helps when spotting leaks, i found mine hard to trace as the VR6 bay is quite a warm place so leaks dry up. I've had them from Aux water pump, thermostat housing, radiator, underside of a coolant pipe

You mean no hair? :lol: Couple of possibilities 3corsameal; Saturday; Long Melford Bypass/Sudbury - I was in the passenger seat and original owner was in drivers seat Sunday - Same area again. Me and mate in car Sunday afternoon - Great Cornard/Bures/Ballingdon/Sudbury. that would of been you then :wave: My mate commented on how mint it looked, paintwork did look nice. I've been debating whether to get rid of my debadged grill since seeing it. (i hardly even see corrados)

i drove past a blue corrado just like that at the weekend, with two chaps in it. I was in my escort though so didn't wave. can't remember where i was, but pretty sure the chap driving had grey hair
-
this is what happened when my switch went. The lights just wouldn't turn off. Be very careful and don't play around with switch too much, as i did that and it burnt out the wiring back to fuse box
-
yeah, you could do that in green oak with decent gallows brackets for support instead of posts and a nice slate roof
-
just been speaking to our planning guys and there seems to be a few factors that influence if you need planning or not. Depending on your neighbours etc, you could always add one and then if someone mentions it/complains, you could apply for retrospective planning
-
was it on here that someone posted the one that fell down in the snow :lol: EDIT: no it was another forum i use PMSL :lol:

I design timber frame structures for my job, i make a 3D model of each bit of wood and then a machine cuts and labels every of wood from that. I don't mind helping you design something if you went down that route. ^some wood :lol:
-
So these are cool, but a rear window wiper should be removed and a rubber gromit put in the hole. is this correct, if i wanted to be a part of the scene :confused4:
-
you might find the bits you need here http://www.biggred.co.uk/repairpricing.html i have rung them in the past and found them very helpful
-
took the words out of my mouth :lol: looks nice due to different wheels and some extra lowz, but doesn't mention much maintainence etc
-
if these came standard on every corrado, the "in thing" to do would be to smooth them off.
-
here it is after a couple of weeks on the road, hit a kerb, blew out two tyres and bent the alloys beyond repair, its great fun. saved the rado from all the salt, which was my main concern
-
My solution was to buy this for £150, seems to of got me everywhere so far :)

i like my shiny seats

DIY HID projectors into stock corrado headlights
Jim Bowen replied to corradog60stage4's topic in Exterior
I have been told that shortly all HIDs are to made illegal/mot fail in the UK unless the car came from factory with them.......anyone else hear this? -
i did try to delete this thread after about the 3rd reply, but couldn't... its haunting me now :(
-
my mate had one of these, they looks great on the octavia rims.
-
i couldn't remember a length from memory, but i bought a roll of the stuff and yes, used the old ones as a template. although once fited each end you can still bend the stuff around to get the best fit
-
i can only help with the brake question. I had the same union round off when fitting my 288's and had to cut the brake line and replace. Its not as hard as it looks.
-
any publicity is good publicity? 5 pages about the CCGB, wonder if its inspired anyone else to sign up? Sorry for my negative comment, i appreciate the fact i got a card, but didn't like the dirty corrado with a tow bar. I'm only really interested in receiving the sprinter mag which i don't seem to get. (think i have just been a grumpy git recentely) :(
