the pics were from the original auction will get some better ones done over the weekend - i havent got the foggiest what im going to do about the rears - probably nothing ! just keep me eyes on ebay.de for some of them! all of the pics ive seen of Jets have had red all over the show - steering wheels, gators, so does any one know which bits were red / purple as standard?

All in all they cost me £50 quid shipped from Germany (in the biggest box you have ever seen) - and they arrived within 36 hours of me buying. I was a bit surprised as for some reason i thought it was red leather but nevermind

Ive already got a pair of fluffy dice and i actually like them !! fluffy dice are soooooo uncool that i think they have come full circle and are now retro chic !! Ive already decided that for the time being im just gonna get another wing mirrir switch and have one both sides !!!

alright peeps, Brought these of ebay.de G60 Jet door trims - Fronts only, LHD and damaged but i like em !! :)

cheers for that, he doesnt have the loom though so need to source one of those. hopefully should be able to work out whats what once i get the loom, but if someone knows what colour the switched power lead is and any other leads i need to know it would be appreciated i take it its a independant unit and not controlled in any way by the ecu?

righty well that explains the lack of wires - better try and source one of those then !!

alright peeps, do early corrado electric windows have a controller box or do the wires run straight to the motors?? as i have a crappy after market kit and the switches have broken and i have been unable to source replacements. I have brought some original early window switches but they have less wires than my aftermarket ones. Does anyone have a wiring diragram or actually know what wire does what with early switches as i have the wiring diagram for the aftermarket switches and may be able to knock something up by splicing wires etc cheers Brett

like it says i think its a M reg and its got a silly motobike battery in the boot?? i think theres a skyline person on the forum isnt there?? cheers brett

http://cgi.ebay.de/Mittelarmlehne-VW-Co ... dZViewItem looks a bit barry white but cheap enough !!

Say no more ....

well im not going to be lowering my car as it wont fit in my garage (extremely sloped drive and flat garage) apart from the 15mm lowering top mounts so it looks like OE's for me

alright peeps My Corrado was missing the door speaker grills and this seems to be common problem seeing all the other posts about it. When i located some replacements on ebay they seem to have locked in great so where do they all go? Is it a bad design or something as they they are not the sort of thing you remove??? Do they fall off or something???? hmmmm is there a big pile of them some where with all the biro's???

Argggggggggghhhh! Ive still not managed to sort out some sub frames for the Recaro Speeds i have and the Recaro Website no longer lists subframes for the Corrado at all !! So is there a definative answer as to whether Scirocco sub frames are the same as Corrado ones (because they are still listed) Cheers Brett

alright peeps, First off i do know and have used the SEARCH !! Basically i want my valver handling and steering like when it came out the box so if someone could do me a list starting with all the wearable parts which generally need to be replaced so i can get it ticked off. As i doubt anythings been changed and as its 16 years old im pretty sure everything needs to replaced. I do not want to fit any aftermarket lowering kits or anything like that (as my brain is spinning after reading all the other posts!!), i just want it to be like it should. Also if there are any parts that are better / cheaper than VW ones let me know ! Say for example that £130 bush kit from Venom? I know all things have been covered before but a nice easy to understand list would be great cheers Brett

i live in New Barn, 5 minutes away from Gravesend

i already own W8 8RET which was fine when i could afford modern motors but now im stuck with the h reg rado and a v reg van its not much good to me !!! ive seen on the DVLA site B17 ETL which could be pretty good with a nice illegal show plate (Bret L) but its 400 squids !!

can you search reg plates on that site then? and if its not listed can i ring up the dvla and see if i can get it even though its a standard non personalised plate?

alright peeps i really would like to get my hands on G608 RET but its probably on some old 1989 sfitter !! anyway to find out?? cheers brett

like it says - cheap as chips preferred as its only for the rear bench north west kent - se london would be great !! Cheers Brett

alright peeps, looking to get me rear bench retrimmed but i aint got a clue what i should be paying - its a early with the bulge cheers brett

so whats the definative answer on the passat chromies - are they a straight fit on a early C and if so whats the part number?? cheers

i can understand about the 1.8 being more powerful because thats what happened around that time with cats and emmissions etc, take the vauxhall 2.2 engine - only designed to match the power of the older 2 litre but with lower emmissions

alright peeps one thing that has always puzzled me is why did VW just up the VR6 engine by 100 cc for the rado, youve got a perectly acceptable engine - why just enlarge by 100cc - surely it would have made the car more special, saleable and more able to compete with the big boy german motors if it was 3 litre - it cant have been that much more difficult if you are going to make the effort of upping it by another 100cc. was it tax reasons or something as we all know the block is capable, even if it didnt up the performance at all it still would have been like - yeah well ive got a 3 litre like etc etc. hmmmmmmmmm Brett

also spotted in Peckham - a Mini Cooper S, driving school car !! way hay

alrighty peeps whilst driving through Hackney the other day i saw a Transporter van with what can only be described as some nutters idea of a reiger infinity bodykit slapped on the side of it - i couldnt get a picture of it as i was driving if anyone else sees it or knows it please post a piccie and give us all a laugh Brett P.S I also saw a couple of weeks ago a mark 4 convertable with them stupid ronal or whatever teddy bear wheels (im not sure what size they are but they looked tiny and the tires seemed mahoosive)
