Really?! i'll have to give it a shot, just guessed a hacksaw would blunt to easily :lol:

Prefer the black centres, more subtle and understated 8)

Nice mate, you definately got lucky :lol: unfortunately my wing is proper buckled but, i'm sure it will be an easy sort, already have it off th car just trying to find a new wing!! :lol:

:lol: is it G60/16v or VR6? no matter which cooler you fit there is always allot of cutting...[/quote:2i1x98q6] Your not wrong mate!! started taking the towing eye off tonight and i've been through 2 cutting discs and i'm nowhere near done :lol: How far did you take yours back? right to the chassis leg, for a clean look?

Just giving it some gratitude mate :lol:

Yeah that sound like the kind of thing he would do :lol: Should be an easy fix but was just gutted, it's not the first time he's hit one of my cars!! Just needed to vent my frustration i guess :lol:

Any pics? been trying to rack my brains over this all week :lol:

Arrived home tonight from a week in italy skiing/boarding with the misses, she popped upstairs to feed the dog and i nipped out to start up the mk2 (fired up after sitting for a week :D ) So walking back into the house she greets me and says "you'd better go look at the corrado!" So i ask "why?" :? she says "your dads left a note, he's had a scrape"..... ..And my stomach dropped :shock: Lifted the garage door and he's dented/scraped down the pass. wing, luckily the bumper was off so don't have to worry about that!! but seems to only be the wing but i'm heartbroken :( he's going to pay for the repair, but it's just a hassle i don't need!! and the rotten bit is that the other front wing has been repaired in the past, just wishing i'd put it in the other side of the garage :lol: I know i should see the silver lining and look into things like deleting the side repeaters but coming back absolutely shattered, having got the flu on the last night of the holiday (lucky i know :lol: ) i just can't :( Anyways rant over, doped up on beechams and strepsils so see how i feel in the morning :lol: P.s late passenger side front wing in aqua blue pearl if anyine has one?! :lol: P.P.s not so nice text was sent to said father as he's out of the country with work, possibly not the brightest of ideas but i was livid :bad-words:

Thanks mate, going to give both a try when i get a chance :D does your cooler sit infront of the slam panel or have you removed the lower leg?![/quote:3lrgb8yq] Front bumper iron was cut out and part of the slam pannel centre leg and the tow eye with bracket :shock: but this was on a VR mate. for more pic's go to http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h278/ ... ?start=all[/quote:3lrgb8yq] Nice :D how do you get on with the towing eye removed? been thinking about just taking the whole bracket off but a bit weery incase the dreaded happens and i have to get towed/winched!! :?

Thanks mate, going to give both a try when i get a chance :D does your cooler sit infront of the slam panel or have you removed the lower leg?!

Cheers kip sounds like a good idea :D

Yeah been thinking about it a while :lol: so bought this Its a rallye intercooler, just a trial fit but shouldn't need too much work to get it in :D :D The THS coolers sound good, never came across them when i was looking before. Cheers dan :thumbleft:

Cheers guys :D , i'll have to give it a bash, fished out everything i could reach but was generally worried about the smaller particles!! DanVW- Is it ok to wash out the intercooler? obviously providing its dried out properly :lol:

Anyone?! :(

Hi folks looking for some advice, picked up a used intercooler last night and it has some remains of a grenaded charger left in it, apex seals,small fragments of charger :( I have got all the major stuff out and there isn't anything at the outlet end. So is there anyway to flush any smaller particles out? if so what can i use to do this? Also is there any risk with using this intercooler? TIA Andy

Copy and paste from scottishvag.net, guy who posted seems to know quite alot on the subject :D 1. The plate must be made of retroreflecting material which, as regards its construction, colour and other qualities, complies with the requirements of - (a) the British Standard specification for retroreflecting number plates published on 15 January 1998 under number BS AU 145d[13], or (b) any other relevant standard or specification recognised for use in an EEA State and which, when in use, offers a performance equivalent to that offered by a plate complying with the British Standard specification, and which, in either case, is marked with the number (or such other information as is necessary to permit identification) of that standard or specification. 2. Where the registration mark is displayed on the front of the vehicle, it must have black characters on a white background. 3. Where the registration mark is displayed on the back of the vehicle, it must have black characters on a yellow background. Lifted straight from BSAU 145d. So if the plates you are going to buy are marked DIN 74069, TPPR 7285, BSAU 145d or BSAU 145a if it's pre september 2001 et cetera et cetera, have black characters and are white front, yellow rear and reflective with it, they are legal.
