  1. Bought the car four years ago using a credit card as I was too impatient. Now I have to save a bit each month to spend on the car. I've had a lot on unexpected bills on the car, namely the front subframe splitting. Got myself a second job which has helped....
  2. The BBS are much better, would get more photos up but the car has a flat battery now and is in a garage.
  3. Here's my 1990 1.8 16v which I've had for four years. Completed Purchased all the leathers on ebay for £600 Miltex exhaust Cobra CAT1 alarm New front subframe and wishbones Second hand rear subframe New steering rack Uprated headlights Front and rear eibach anti roll bars Rear bushes Headlining dyed black Remainder of beige trim painted black BBS Alloys To do list New bonnet needed after the car was jumped on :censored: Full respray Engine rebuild Most of the work has been done by John at JMR who has been a great help and I've picked up alot from him thanks to his 'open' workshop policy.

  4. Very nice... R u based near Hounslow?
  5. Bracket fitted and it holds perfectly.... One less rattle to worry about. Great idea, Thanks Dave. Stefan
  6. Received mine y'day, will have a go at fitting it tomorrow.... Thank you. :D
  7. Form sent, going to inflate the tyres tomorrow....
  8. Thanks for your help guys, Filling out a V62 form as I type. DVLA say it takes between four to five weeks which is ideal as the car's taxed until the end of June. Will borrow a pump and inflate the tyres. Stefan
  9. 2.0 16v with a dent right where the Corrado badge sits.....
  10. I shall try.... I've just been to see the car. It now has four flat tyres but is taxed until the end of June. Has a small dent at the rear. Will get onto the DVLA tomorrow.
  11. I have used these guys in past, not for a long time though. They are quite cheap if you pay cash. Ask for Lionel. Car Body Services 020 8994 2919 20 Dolman Road, London, W4 5UY Stefan
  12. Hello, Have a check in Cars for sale or post a topic in the Wanted section, you may have better luck finding one that way. Stefan
  13. I will do both, leave a note and also contact the DVLA on Tuesday. I'm going to have a look at it this morrning to see what it exactly looks like. You're right, it probably isn't worth that much , but seems as shame to leave it. No doubt, it will start to get vandalised if left any longer.
  14. Its just off a roundabout, not sure if it has tax, it might do if hasn't been taken by the council. He said that he passes it on his way to work and now it has two flat tyres... Might try the note idea or befriend another police officer... Such a shame :(
  15. A friend of mine at work has told me that someone for a reason unknown to man has dumped a '92 Corrado near his house. It's in good nick and hasn't yet received sticker from the council. I wanted to know how I could get my hands on it legally.... Checked the car on mycarcheck.com and it came back fine. Hasn't been stolen. I have a friend who is a copper and I did ask her to carry out a PNC check to find out the owners details but she doesn't have access to that at the moment. The DVLA will not give that type of info out. Does anyone know how I can find the registered keeper? Stefan
  16. Do you know if a G60 instrument panel with fit/work on a 1990 Corrado? I've spotted one for sale. Many thanks Stefan
  17. Andy (trimwizard) also fitted a handsfree car kit and my new stereo for a very good price..... Yet again, recommended. Stefan
  18. Looks great, will get round to doing mine when I have a free weekend
  19. Looks great, does the headlining still feel soft or does the paint harden the texture? I'm not going to start running my fingers on mine but just curious. Thanks Stefan
  20. On Christmas day (night) some total idiot decided to walk over my car, wrecking the bonnet bu jumping on it and damaging my rear wiper.. Now it will be cheaper to buy a brand new bonnet from VW and have it sprayed that repair my one. Fools!!!!!
  21. They look brilliant... Let us know how the headlining goes. Once I get the car back, will get on with mine.
  22. Car tested yesterday and there is a knocking sound coming from the steering rack!!!!!!!! :( :(
  23. Just had mine replaced back to VW...
