Top of my bucket list for a long time has been to drive around Spa. Me and a friend decided to take a trip to the Nurburgring and then head over to Spa. 95F_3474 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_3422 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_3421 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_3046 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_2960 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_2959 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_2879 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_2661 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_2660 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_2112 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_2111 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_1704 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_1681 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_1680 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_1491 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr 95F_1490 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20180717_202022 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

After nearly 2 years of being sat in the garage, nice to get her out for a wash, polish & wax ready for the 30th Anniversary at Stanford Hall IMG_20180505_153534 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20180505_153639 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20180505_153845 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr FB_IMG_1525722239306 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr FB_IMG_1525722267215 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr FB_IMG_1525722298977 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

While getting the fuel tank straps done, I had my rear caliper carries shot blasted and coated, ready for the MK4 Golf rear calipers IMG_20180303_130139 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Gloss red to match the Porsche Brembo calipers IMG_20180310_110000 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20180422_101259 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20180422_131649 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Brembos are a tight squeeze under the 16" BBS IMG_20180422_151822 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

Busy time working on the car recently. Unfortunately I had a issue driving 1 day, when the front near side wheel felt like it was going to fall off. A few mechanics told me the gearbox was causing the issue, which was worrying after not long having the gearbox rebuilt. After refurbishing my dirveshafts and fitting new inner and outer cv joints and doing both front wheel bearings, the issue has gone. While the car was on axle stands in my garage, I decided to tackle a few jobs First up, rusty fuel tank straps. IMG_20180210_112540 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Looking a lot better after being shot blasted and then treated with a zinc coating to help stop rust.

Thanks for the comments guys, she's a labour of love! rado20vT what intercooler do you use on your 1.8T?

On the way to the ferry for DMPD 2015, I managed to get put a rather large hole in my Forge sump by catching a speed bump. corrado_broken by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Thankfully one of the guys at Auto Finesse had a sump on one of his cars at home and with minutes to spare we made he ferry.

A friend didn't like a set of BBS he bought, promptly snapped up for the Corrado. 8.5x16" 3 Piece with magnesium barrels.

rado-steve, what happened to your Nugget?

Wanted to make the most of the new refurb gearbox, so bought a GEMA short shifter and will be installing the Gruven short shift for reduced side to side. arz_short_shifter by Paul Taylor, on Flickr My rear number plate holder was broken, so the Corrado got treated to a carbon one from LWS Design corrado_carbon_number_plate by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

Hi guys, after a fully working rear spoiler module - part number 535 919 845 A Many thanks Paul

Whilst the gearbox was out, I decided to fit a Forge baffled sump as the car does a lot of track days. _20141118_153114 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20141207_134353 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

IMG_1710 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_0739 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr After doing a few track days at Silverstone and Bedford Autodrome, I managed to strip 3rd gear of some of its teeth IMG-20141215-WA0003 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG-20141215-WA0004 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr I can highly recommend Abbey Transmission Services in Nazing. The gearbox was fully rebuilt with new diesel gears, Peloquin limited slip diff and uprated clutch fork IMG-20141215-WA0001 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20141217_133946 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20141217_133934 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20141201_092047 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20141201_092036 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Also fitted a Epytec clutch release lever before the gearbox went in IMG_20150115_192812 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20150115_192921 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

Heat wrapped the K04 downpipe and bought a few Forge goodies - DV008, turbo inlet pipe, EGR blankig cover and carbon engine cover. Also installed Lupo front wipers. IMG_20120916_133331 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr IMG_20150301_155124 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr To help the suspension, bought Wiechers carbon fibre front & rear strut braces, along with the front lower brace.

I do car detailing when I can and gave the Corrado a 3 stage machine polish, topped off with Auto Finesse Illusion wax IMG-20141116-WA0003 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

Thanks Sean_jaymo, the plate didn't stayed like that for long! She's a '91, but the previous owner fitted a late spec bonnet and grill.

Stripped the car and bought a late spec interior from a friend, who turned out to have my Corrado about 10 years ago. FB_IMG_1474550781245 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Didn't really like the rear lights, so went for a set of full reds. IMG_20130203_161056 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Had a subframe and cross member lying around from a previous Corrado and had it shot blasted and painted black. New ball joints, wishbones, discs etc installed. The car came with Audi S2 front calipers and I fitted a set of HEL braided brake lines. IMG_20130228_213951 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Full Vibratechnics engine mounts, wishbones and rear trailing arm bushes used, along with Powerflex for the cross member.

Hi everyone, after a few years off from owning a Corrado, I decided to buy this '91 1.8T that I found on Pistonheads. The interior wasn't in great shape and the Bilstein coilovers had seen better days. The engine conversion was carried out by Voodoo Motorsport and is running DTA standalone ecu and K04 turbo.

Hi, how much would you sell the scuttle panel, wiper cover and number plate holder for? All in carbon fibre please and posted to the UK.

All sorted now, thank you gents

Im after the interior door handles that you would pull if you are sat inside the car to open the door. Also the plastic bit that covers the 2 screws (not the main handle itself) that you would hold on to close the door. Would prefer plastic rather than leather. I may be a bit blond at the moment, but how do you add photos to show exactly what im after?

Hi, im trying to find the interior door handles and the interior door pull covers (black) from a late Corrado. Both passenger and drivers side are needed. Many thanks Paul

Hi, can I take a set of rear lights please. How much for postage? Thanks paul
