also how do you spelling "Char-Ac-Ur-Teurs", not characters? :lol:

is there anywhere you can buy these, have seen them for lots of other cars, never a corrado one? thought i'd have a bash, this is the 1st effort of mine, not 100% right yet. Think i'll have a 2nd attempt before i get some colour etc on it i think the wheels are a bit big :lol:

i've been doing 500miles a week in my VR6, thing is i do have a 2nd car but never use it because its slow and doesn't handle :( i seem to get about 300-320 from a full tank (15gallons)

yeah, mine is doing this too. not sure what to do, most aftermarket ones look a bit weird to me :lol:

whats it meant to be? apart from a corrado with stickers on? is it a copy of a real racing car?

potn are having a vip sale today, if you ordered from them before you can get lots of bits cheap. i noticed an isotta wheel on there for about £60 instead of £150 odd http://www.potn.com/vipsale

was going to say that, i thought they were quite rare now, painted ones anyway

i don't know whats worst a crack in my bonnet or a hole in my bucket :lol:

Vauxhall Nova 1.3sr - drove for 3yrs Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 sport - drove for 5yrs VW Corrado VR6 - had for just over a year :lol: i don't change car very much

this thread has originated from here: http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... 2&start=15 basically i bought a coolant hose and some clips and it came to £52 ish noticed someone else has bought the same part and wasn't much time inbetween me buying it and him buying it, so inflation can't come into it. i've just been on phone to the dealer i bought it from and then main VW office. the dealer told me all parts should cost the same, no matter where you buy them (didn't really tell him the scenerio, presumed he thought i was about to order a part through them) then VW main office said prices can differ due to dealers being franchised. i think a £20 increase on a £30 part is unreasonable. So this is what i purpose, VW said i can launch a complaint and they will look into it. I'm think if i get a few part numbers, this hose being one of them, i will phone a few dealers and get the price sent to me, so i can compare the prices etc. then get back in touch with VW The point of this thread i spose is to find out if anyone else has encountered this before and if anyone wants to suggest some part numbers or even get a price from their local dealer.

a halfords carpark no doubt :lol:

a golf/passat car crash

i have this thing called a little green cleaning machine, its ace for carpets, feck knows where you get them. got JD & coke out of a GF's dads brand new white carpet quite well :lol:

i know that mine, from ground level to roofline is 48" after lowering 40mm not sure if that helps :lol:

As far as leather care products go, i'm told alot are gimmicks and these so called conditioners do nothing but sit on top of the leather for a few days, car leather is protected/sealed so your just adding stuff on top.

mine will be going to Vince in the new year i hope, gotta arrange it all, but sick of the ride now :(

wow the pic in carpark looks bloody fantastic!!! 8)

why did you jack on the sill? :!

mine fell side ways off a stand as i jacked the other side up (with the jack from boot of car) ooops, learnt my lesson :lol: i had put an axle stand next to rear bumper to slide under car and it fell on that, so the side of rear bumper was holding car up :! bumper crumpled up to less than half the height it should be, but luckily just pinged back and the only paint missing is underneath on bottom edge

that sticky foam is great for badges, i used it on my numberplate though (which is what it says its for on the packet) and it fell off

same with my mirrors, both just dead, nothing at all happens

i was thinking about this lastnight, if we could get a corrado floorplan and highlight the safe places to put jacks/axle stands. had mine fall over not long ago

oops i meant groan :lol:

over £50 new over ten years ago :! no wonder there aren't many around :lol:

thats exactly the moment i get the noise, as i lift clutch and you feel it engaging, very strange creaky groin from along the length of car. thanks for all the tips, i really need to get around to sorting all this, no fair when its dark after work :(
