couldnt agree more with you, and anyway stop flicking through edition 38 and find me a badge! :grin: lol

jon you beat me to it... sounds awfull but any pics of the said car post crash, its always interesting to see how the corrado holds up in substantial accidents.. my folks are always going on at me about how the corrado doesnt have any airbags and its not safe in accident blah blah blah. im pretty confident that unless i drove it into a concrete wall at over 100mph it would hold up pretty well, fairly solidly built lumps of metal if you ask me

136bhp or 134bhp.. its one of those two... :salute:

the video is kool isnt it, i was up late one night and it was playing on mtv2. been hooked since that day... 8) if you like them then check out a band called iglomat, very similar and just as good...

currently listening to 'boards of canada' album check out one of thier tunes called 'dayvan cowboy' really gd chilled track.. :D

i promised that i would never break mine either... pull your finger out and get your rado recommissioned, you wont regret it..

it can be quite easy to lose the love im afraid, after three years of trying i have officially lost the love for one of mine and its slowly getting broken up for parts. gutted to be doing it tbh but there really is no other option for it. however not a massive blow as i have two others to keep me smiling :clap: ive youve got the patience then get it sorted, too many are being broken at the moment and i dont like that ive added myself to that statistic.. stick with it, theres light at the end of the tunnel...

i wouldnt worry too much about getting the grill back dude as it will be foobarred, im geussing they would of just ripped it off unless they got the bonnet open?? :shrug: as you prob know the badge's for the grills can be a pig to find sometimes but id have a look on ebay or put a wanted thread up on here, you can still buy a bare grill from the stealers for circa £28 iirc, a gd second hand one should be around £15-£20.. hth, and i hope you find the thieveing scrots!

16'' speedlines buddy.. thats what you need.. and yes they do exist..

its very similar to the old scirocco 16v manifold, ie the throttle body comes off the right side of the manifold as opposed to the normal left side.. there is a reason for this and im sure its to do with the supercharger... i may be wrong..

£45 each from the stealers...

that to me looks like a homebrew 16vg60, doesnt look as neat as the vwm one, and the alternator doesnt quite look right stuffed behind the engine in one of the pics...

wondered who had bought this, gave it some consideration when i was looking around for another one.. as for the side repeaters thats an easy fix, just whip the arch lining off, its about 4 bolts/screws iirc and ull see the wiring and bulb hanging down. just poke it through remembering to push it through a bit further and make sure it sits snuggly inside the side repeater. job done in less then 20 mins... :clap:

looks superb buddy, nice clean example youve managed to get your hands on.. what coilovers have you gone for?

your not the first and i doubht ull be the last that this has happened too.. the rieger grills unless well stuck down will make a bid for freedom..

sorry i couldnt resist..

here's a small bike for you...

little update on the bordeaux aswell, should be finally picking up a new tailgate for it this weekend and hopefully a full set of sebrings for it too. its gona go back to completely standard as the old man has shown a bit of interest in it :clap: .. also sold the grey interior out of it a couple of weeks ago so it now owes me even less money, and my spare black interior will be going in soon.. will get some pics of it once ive made some progress.

i feel a toad appreciation thread coming on lol... all i can do is quote the awesome Ace Rimmer 'what a guy!' top bloke, alway so helpfull..

here's me aka Rudy van de sarnio, jazz fusion guitarist...

honestly get the surfex hd degreaser, my arches looked as though it had never been done and it got rid of all of the muck, literally spray it on and then hose it off, agitated with a brush the more stern areas but it really is effortless...

the clay is soo good, ive done three cars this weekend and they all look superb.. did my mums megane gt for her for mothers day and it looks better now then when it left the showroom 2 years ago!! building quitea significant 'detailing' kit and some productsare unbeliveable, the bilt hamber surfex hd cleaner/degreaser did wonders with my arches..

couple of new pics... car has been washed, clayed, polished and a couple of coats of collinite 915.. also removed all the wheels, cleaned the arches and greased the coilovers to prevent rust.. and then cleaned and waxed/sealed all the wheels.. now have the rear laether bench in and recaro's will be in soon, im absoloutely amazed at how wheel the paint has cleaned up it really is clean, and feels like glass. reflection is superb too.. check the reflection in the bottom pic... 8) if you havnt clayed your rado before then get it done, you will not regret it.. pics, enjoy.. oh and got the bonnet bra on. really like the way :salute: it looks now..

whats not sensible about a corrado then michael?? :D how are things anyway?

agree with tom, shame... whats on the agenda next then?
