too hot

I took the later vents on their own and tried to fit them into the earlier housing in the original dash,the drivers side just didn`t fit. The passenger side did fit but didn`t look right imo!! I`ll have a look in the morning to see how to get the heater to work.I have all the bits,dials fascia and cables that I should need. Just on looking at it the earler version looks completely different.Would be nice to have the late version to compare. Really the only reason I`m doing it is that I think the later dash looks better all be it more fragile:cool:

Ok Here are the answers for anyone else who needs to try it ----easy answer is don`t !!:nuts::suprised: The only switch that is a straight plug and play is the headlight switch. The ABS,heated rear window and fogs are all different plugs in the loom. The other interesting thing to note is the apertures that these switches fit into are smaller for the earlier switches.You need the later dash insert to fit them into. As can be seen in the pic the holes for the later switches are much larger. The vents fit at either end of the dash with the later surrounds,the later vents dont fit in the earlier surrounds--properly.For an OEM look. The heater itself looks another nightmare,haven`t looked really closely but to convert from slide controls to round looks as if the there is a later version of the heater.Will know when the dash is out !! Cos its going to have to happen:thumbleft: Hopefully the pics will explain it a bit more.:smug:

Hi I am looking for the centre section of the dash,which the radio/heater controls and ash tray etc fit onto.(See pic) It has to be mint no broken lugs or fixings!! Also heater controls and heater(I will get back to you with what I`m after exactly)Doing an early to late swap and the heater appears to be different from the slide controlled version. A headlight switch if it works on all settings ???

Good question:scratch:

Wll have a look at it tomorrow.It was just to save me taking the full dash out. I`ll take some switches out and see how the plugs differ,got all the looms anyway so if the worst comes to the worst I can change them over.I would rather replace the looms than start splicing plugs in.

CazzaVR Thanks for that just what I thought looking at the two there doesnt appear to be much in it. Can you remember if the switches just plugged in or did you have to use late wiring looms?? I think I can remember someone saying the headlight loom/plug was different.If that is the only new loom have to use I will be a happy bunny:smug: As I say I have all the later looms if required,just saves faffing about under the dash,trying to thread wiring :thumbleft:

Wonder if anyone can answer this????:scratch: Is the late dash shell the same as the early dash?? What I`m meaning is f you take everything off/out the dash and are left with the bare shell,could you fit later switches heater panel heating vents etc into your old dash ??? My car has an early dash in black and I have a complete spare late dash,with everything(switches vents etc etc) I wonder if I can just strip the old and fit the new,without removing the shell??:scratch: Would save a bit of time in the long run! If nobody knows ---thats this weeks mission to try it :thumbleft:

Looked fine in the pics,but know how you feel. A lot of wee niggles in paint tend to get to you in the end!!! Respray is the easiest option. Is it just going to be standard? No filled in roof channels/strips etc??? I like the wheels,might be interested in them if you want rid of em :cheers:

That is getting so true,I was looking on E-Bay the other night and there are so many being broken.:( It just means that a Corrado on the roads today is an even rarer sight:cheers:

Just offer to take it away for her:thumbleft:

Ray they are for the VR6,Eibach Sportlines I think ! I will dig them out they are in superb condition having only been on for a couple of thousand miles. I`ll get the numbers off them and check with Eibach

Picked up a standard set of Speedlines with good tyres. Gave them a clean and polish will get them on tomorrow! Heading back to OEM+ again !!

Ray I`ve got a set of Eibach springs that you can have for £70 +postage.Save you some dosh and all you need are the dampers! If you are interested I`ll dig them out and get all the details to you.

Plenty for sale at the moment mate.Lots at bargain prices too.

Hi Mate nice to see someone else from Ayrshire here!! Nice looking Corrado Flash Red is lovely needs a bit of polishing to keep on top of it. Did you get it from Steve ???Think thats the guy from Scottsh vag??

Was this for sale on E-Bay a couple of weeks ago?? Same owner for about ten years or so ?? If it was it looked a bargain:cool:

Yeah it`s sad most people seem to think they are worth more in parts

I tend to agree with this !! Can`t beleive you can`t sell this,take the interior out,sell it seperately,put standard interior in. This is maybe where the problem is. It does look good but not everyones cup of T

Excellent thats a long weekend sorted for you two now??? Welcome to the world of Corrado ownership hope it all goes smoothly!!

No don`t put silicone in the rubber seals are quite enough

I am really surprised that Corrado is still for sale,it must be worth more for the parts!!!!

Excellent thanks for that I have often wondered that very thing,next time I`m round the dodgy drug dens I won`t take the Corrado:thumbleft:

Someone has snapped up a bargan. TCS ---------probably

German E-Bay is the place to look,rare as hens teeth and rocking horse poo here!!!!

I might have a set in the pipeline just waiting for the guy to get back to me. My plan was always to refurb the BBS but I need something to keep on the car to keep it mobile.
