i find the front of the front arches get the most stone chips

why would you want 3?

they remind me of vauxhall rims

are they 190mm shells, i have a tl-01 and have found most shells that say they fit, (from the hpi ones) all look shocking i really shouldn't buy another shell but i want to now :lol: where u buy em?

is this out now? red golf on the front?

nice!!! every time i've bought pvw (a whole 2 times now) :lol: its not had any corrados

when i've sprayed with cans i've done a really light coat, then let that dry, following by a wet coat, then as thats almost dry give it a dusting of paint while standing a bit futher away people say to flat back the paint before laquer when you spray with metallics but i've found that to be crap? odd

:lol: i'll probably have it sprayed anyway, so can sort these bits out, they only tiny things, but still i noticed them whats up with you paint? how did you paint it? and what paint did u use? i thought they made one in your car anyway?

on mine, it has a funny mark on rear bumper, looks like its been touched with something while paint was wet. Rear spoiler is all knobbly along the bottom, like its been sprayed while sat on some paper and got bits stuck to it, needs sanding smooth and there is silver paint on the rear quarter where someone has slipped while painted the rubstrips

got my model out the box and they not 100% perfect in my eyes, could be better. maybe i'm a perfectionist, but i was a little disappointed at some parts, i'll get pics, just thought i'd let people know.

some kinda 4x4 vauxhall with a broken transfer box :lol:

my thread from when i had similar probs http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... ht=coolant

some manic googles searches going on i reckon :lol:

corrado with rwd conversion

hope its not a chrysler crossfire :lol:

mine has passed many with the bulb/sensor disconnected

i'll paint mine black for now. i think i'll get mine sprayed in classic green pearl too, when my real corrado goes into bodyshop i'll get them to do it

not sure if they would of done that tbh, the guy who works on car used to own it

got my model out of box, its blue, but the rubstrips down the side are in silver........:lol: gash, i'll have to paint them

i can see what you mean, but can't help are the rev counter and fuel display ring the same size? i.e: can you swap them?

i think they are normal pads, VW ones hope its not another stuck caliper :lol:

hi people lastnight my car started sounding different, (1995 VR). When you reach about 40/50mph i can hear a kinda droning noise, and you really start to notice it when slowing down casually while in gear. it reminds me of when you used to put cardboard on your back wheel of BMX bike and ride round thinking it sounded cool :lol: its very faint tbh, it doesn't sound like a wheel bearing to me? i have just had a new caliper put on, and that has started to sqeauk/squeal as i press the brake

# Kev got his from http://www.modelenium.co.uk Neil so could try there. thats where i ordered mine, got it today :D

i'll get a pic next time i'm there, the guy in the garage showed me it

this is useful "Many Corrados have a problem with the passenger side window not closing all the way. This is because a plastic tab that keeps the cable in place breaks off. It tends to only happen on the passenger side because the tab is facing the other way on the drivers side. VW says there is no way to fix it, and since it is all one piece( motor, cable , tab, etc) it costs $500. There is a way to fix it however. First the inside of the door needs to be removed. There are 3 screws covered by plastic tabs on the sides and a screw behind the speaker grill. There are 2 more scres in the door handle(this can be removed by simply pulling it apart) There are also some tabs at the bottom which need to be undone. With the inside of the door gone, there are two plastic moldings(these are located where the glass goes into the door) which need to be removed. They simply slide of the metal rail of the door. The reason the window won't close all the way is because with the tab broken the cable gets pulled down instead of the window going up all the way. The way to fix it is to find a way to keep the cable from being pulled down. There are probably other ways to do it, but this is what I did. I made a double sided hook(hook on both ends) out of a piece of metal wire about twice as thick as a coat hanger. It needs to be strong enough so thatpliers are required to bend it. It needs to be about an inch long or so, but you will have to play with it a couple of times to get the right length. What you do is hook one end around the cable, and the other end around the metal rail the moldings sit/rests on. This needs to be as tight as possible , or the cable will still get pulled down some. It will probably take a few times before you get the right length, but it does work, trust me. Test it out by closing the window a few times before you put everything back together. Some cars might need more than one hook. Next, to get the moldings to fit on with the hook there, you need to cutor burn a small slit into the lower molding. Don't worry, this is the lower of the two moldings and is completely covered up, so you can't see it. Then put the top molding on and put the inside of the door back on and you're done."
