  1. I am near Bristol too, if you find anywhere that can do the rebuilt close by give me a shout as I might be interested soon too
  2. fitted the new cloth to mine today, I will try and get some pics up tomorrow
  3. looks nice mate, I reacon would be worth at least £5k - £6k
  4. looks like the bastard love child of a corrado and a hearse
  5. "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" or "Willy Wonka enjoyed his day out with the Oompaloompa's in his shiny new Corrado"
  6. Had this happen to me this afternoon, doing 80 mph down some windy twisty roads and all of a sudden the steering column is floating around in my hands... V.SCARY!!! Anyways managed to drive back home, took the steering column off and the pin had come out, it showed no signs of wear at all so I tapped it back in and it seems to fit perfectly and I cannot force it back out so I think that is it back in there for good. If it comes out again I will machine it a bit at the end and fit a circlip in there to keep it in there
  7. I got the key to fit in the fob and I have a Clifford engineer coming out to look at my car alarm next week so I am going to try and get him to sort out the brains of the fob for it to work with my C
  8. same, arrived in post today, will try fitting tomorrow
  9. uprated headlight loom arrived today, hopefully fit it tomorrow, but then it is possible that car is going into storage for 6 months :-(
  10. Stealth shelf fitted now (although it is currently black) I will be recovering it beige at the weekend
  11. seen ones on ebay without tyres for about £150ish, those were polished ones though
  12. I have been on a mission to get a covering for my stealth shelf to match the colour of my interior (it is beige leather). I have had about 20 samples altogether from various different suppliers and I have found one that is pretty much a perfect match for a CLEAN beige interior (I say clean as the colour is identical to the fabric on the underside of my original parcel shelf, but slightly lighter than the fabric on the top of my parcel shelf which is obviously a little dirty). The best news however was that it was one of the cheapest ones that was the best match. I will be getting it delivered this week and will fit it at the weekend and will put up some pictures of it then. I got my shelf second hand on ebay but you can buy new un-carpetted ones on the first link below, and the link for the carpet is on the 2nd link, if you want to get a sample of the carpet if you phone the number on their website and they will send you one out, I emailed their managing director and he may possibly be up for a group buy, but tbh I dont know if there would be enough people wanting them to make it worth their while. Auto Acoustics do do a speaker shelf carpet in beige themselves but it is nothing like the interior of the Corrado, it is much more brown. the one from Unique Products looks different in the photo to what it looks like in real life. The speaker carpet is £17.99 (inc VAT) and delivery is in the region of £6 although he is letting me know for definate tomorrow, for this you get a roll which is 1m x 2m which is enough to do approx 2 parcel shelfs. The speaker shelves themselves cost about £60 I think, but you could probably make one if you really wanted to, but it was the carpet that I think a few people were having a 'mare to get hold of: Shelf link \/ http://www.auto-acoustics.co.uk/index.a ... ductid=178 Carpet link \/ http://www.carmats4u.com/Ice-Carpet/Ice ... oduct.html
  13. have you got a part number or a link for the item on Euro car parts, as I just looked on their website and couldnt find them
  14. Page 3 models Jo Guest and Leah Newman on a morale boosting trip to see me in sunny Iraq last year
  15. I have a K&N panel filter atm and all i noticed from it was a slightly louder noise on high revs
  16. It is down the road from me here as I am near Baqth and so is he, I was thinking about buying it and breaking it myself but decided against it. If anyone else wants me to go and look at it and see if it is worth it give me a shout (by pm)
  17. Foggystorm

    My paint work

    BLACKG60 If you catch them doing it, give me a ring, I am a trained bringer of death and live just down the road :2gunfire:
  18. If you see her, tell her I will sleep with her for it (even if she is minging)
  19. do you mean the flexible plastic wrap around stuff or the tape?, as from the electrical stuff I have un-covered so far on my C the tape is just cheap black electrical tape
  20. I dont have a bottomless pocket, I have the rims and the rear and side lights sorted and the healight upgrade kit in the post, sunroof works and I have a new rear spoiler motor ready to fit. What should I do next? lower the car or fit an induction kit (the K&N pannel filter I am running at the mo made a bit of a difference but not enough) which do you think would be the best one to go for out of the two? Also what kind of mods should I be looking at after that? (bear in mind that I am in the army so may well end up in Germany next year and then will come under stricter emissions rules so dont want to do too much to the block atm)
