Thanks for your nice words. I don't have an online shop, I only offer my things on ebay, ebay classifieds and some forums. Personally, I don't like Facebook. It's not about selling as many parts as possible, it's just a hobby for me. -

However, I think that the pictures show that I try to offer the best possible quality. And this brings us to the primary point of the thread. Many Corrado drivers are looking for centre console for the dashboard. We have already found a good solution for the LHD Corrados. (535 863 241 E) Many british Corrado drivers have asked if it is possible to produce this centre console for RHD Corrados as well. The part number for RHD should be 536 863 241 E. Correct? The basic question with such a complex part is of course how much demand there is. So I would like to ask you to estimate how many parts are needed at all. Greetings Chris -

Meanwhile I am more interested in headlights, fog lights and turn signals. That gives more pleasure than plastic. This also resulted in cooperation with other well-known manufacturers such as Spoonfed and VX. From a technical point of view, almost anything is possible when renewing headlamps. However, until now I still depend on used OEM parts for the most part. If you want more information about this: http://www.vwcorrado-forum.de/mbb/showthread.php?tid=46425 -

In between I also experimented with 3D printing. Especially for smaller parts 3D printing should be optimal. Unfortunately I had to realize that the quality is not good enough in my opinion. Therefore I stopped the production of some parts. Especially the clips of the speedometer are complicated to make. There are 3-4 different versions of these clips. It is almost impossible to make a universal version that fits all frames. (535858508 & 535858507) (535 827 769) Most materials used for 3D printing are simply too hard and brittle. Maybe it would be possible to assemble them once, but they would break at the latest when disassembling them. -

This was followed step by step by larger plastic parts. Unfortunately of course primarily LHD parts. For example: Number plate holder in European or American design 535813990 535813989. Frame for additional displays for early types 535 858 203. Air intakes as replacement for defective fog lights. Door sill plates 535 853 813 A. -
Dear friends of the Corrado. After the last update in the forum my old account is unfortunately not longer usable. Therefore I would like to use this thread to introduce myself and my work and to talk about a new project at the end. Some of you already know me and my work. My name is Chris, I am from Germany and I am engaged in the reproduction of Corrado parts or the procurement of alternatives for some years. I will write the thread in stages. Please answer only when the thread is finished, so that it remains clear. I started 6-7 years ago with the insulation mats for the bonnets. OEM material and cut. VR6 and G60 version. After that I produced the first badges because most of them are worn out or missing completely. The main thing was of course that the parts look exactly like OEM.

Under the following link you will find many pictures and explanations for the regeneration of fog lights, main lights and indicators. I also offer all headlights as RHD versions. http://www.vwcorrado-forum.de/wbb/board16-technik/board23-technik/46798-regenerierung-hauptscheinwerfer-nebelscheinwerfer-und-blinker/ Regards Chris
