  1. Fitted the stereo and sub at the weekend so all the lower dash was off. Took off most of the centre console too out of curiosity. I know its not reall "doing" anything to it, but I've just thrashed it to Gatwick and back cos I fancied a drive. A good 50 mins each way with some nice twisty back country roads.
  2. Stroeve do a kit that replaces the lot and has all the necessary gubbins coming out the back. Think its about 120 notes.
  3. I believe the vin goes WVWZZZ00ZZZ000000 Obviously i have changed the letters to Z and the numbers to 0, but that's how it goes. If in doubt, HPI it. If you google HPI discount you should get a code that allows you to get it for 15 quid. There should also be a sticker in the boot that says the vin? Or maybe I'm too pissed and imagining things.
  4. Cheers Neil, thought I might have to use something but wasn't sure what.
  5. I'm going to do this tomorrow, do you need to use something to seal it to stop water leaking in, or is it ok to just pop the grommet in?
  6. Looks an awful lot like THIS, but I wonder if it will be as good over the dunes?
  7. I think he needs Mk2 Glasses :lol: I would have thought behind the bumper somewhere, failing that, nail it to the roof, redneck-stylee.
  8. Illuminated gauges. Very tasty. 8)
  9. If it was a big company (such as play or hmv) i would have no problem keeping it, but as a honest dubber, that's where the problem comes in (adaptable morals as double-6s says). Ooh hang on they've just emailed me and asked for it back. I feel I've done the right thing, you all make good points for and against, but my concience is now clear. Guess I could always ask for some free stickers or something!
  10. Gah, don't say that, i was al ready to give it back. I know its off topic, but do your own posts appear in black and everyone else's in very dark grey? Or is it just my imagination?
  11. 19:1. It would cost £3.50 to send back. Think I'll contact them and see what happens from there. Its the right thing to do.
  12. I ordered something for my C from a certain company in Canada (naming no names) and it seems they have only charged me once, but sent me the item twice. Now, do I do the right thing and send the extra one back, or flog it to someone on here and make most of my money back? Bear in mind it cost almost 70 quid, hence the dilemma. If it was cheap I'd send it straight back. (Sorry if this topic is in the wrong place.)
  13. Quite good, but still only in a straight line. Anybody catch Tiff getting it sideways on Fifth Gear on Monday? Cool stuff. 8)
  14. Mmm, I like, that's close to what I'm after. No odd finger grips, flat bottom, or different textures. Simple and uncluttered and probably a helluva lo cheaper too.
  15. Think you might be referring to the steering column height adjustment dealy bob mate. Oh yeah, and welcome to the forum and corrado ownership! :thumbleft: I thought it was the steering column height adjusment oojimaflip. Bonjour, welcome and get some pics up!
  16. Way to much information :lol: How come? I get sweaty hands when driving. Its not like I'm jacking off while doing it! :lol: Ta muchly. I'm going to make a few choices then try to pick them up a bit cheaper somewhere else. I hate busy looking wheels, they're a tad too playstation for me. Anyway, I've yet to pick up my new C so its all future mod planning and can wait a while.
  17. Unfortunately I suffer from Sweaty Palm Syndrome when driving. Suede would last about 3 days. :(
  18. Aha! Thanks, for some reason I coudn't find it.
  19. I'm looking around for an aftermarket steering wheel, but would like a bit more choice and Momo is really the only name I know. I've seen some Mountney ones, but they're poo. So can anyone suggest some alternative makes? Cheers.

    That is a beautiful car with an absolutely stunning interior. The force is strong in this one.
  21. Boris will only make it worse. Seriously worse. His bumbling incompetance might make him endearing to the public but as a person he is racist, bigoted, misinformed and generally a shambling mess. The man locked himself out of his own house in front of the press FFS! Most people will vote for him because of his personality rather than any merits he has got. Personally I think Red Ken has done a good job and the C charge is a good thing. If you can afford a Porsche Cayenne, then why bitch when you are charged? He is trying to get people out of their cars and onto public transport or bicycles. Central London is much less polluted and the roads aren't jam packed anymore. Maybe its because I'm a Londoner that I think its good, but who needs to drive into the centre?
  22. That's all well and good, but you should beat him on he track on a level playing field, not by preventing him from setting a lap. Alonso has gone down in my estimation. I liked his for his fiery temperament and no bull attitude in the car, but this is tactics of the weak-minded.
  23. Yeah, the guy says its a Lysholm in the comments, page 4 or something like that. Eeeeevil whine! :twisted:
  24. Not sure Alonso would have answered the question anyway, he probably would have made up something like he couldn't get it gear. Schumacher got done though last season for the same thing - albeit on the track and to a rival not a teammate, so we'll see if he is penalised in any way. Its good that Alonso is so scared of Lewis that he has to resort to tactics like that to get his advantage, its almost unthinkable a 2 time world champion would feel the need to do that to a rookie. Pussyhole. :D
  25. :lol: :lol: :lol: Yup, more lies to entrap you.
