2 spots in 1hr, yesterday morning. Theres loads down south! Shepperton near the high street a dark blue VR, waves exchanged and then sunny Staines, Kingston rd, dark grey ( g60 I think ), waves exchanged also. Both looking tidy guys. When I saw the 60 I was with driving with my Nan and she told me it was the same when my grandad used to wave to other Beetle drivers years ago, made me smile!

Late white C with an eyebrow spoiler seen knocking around Dorking, anyone from here?

oops forgot to mention it was in Guildford!

late red c, couldnt tell what flavour, spotted in Clandon rd last night at 9ish.Looking very clean. Made my day as normally in W.Cumbia where I live I see NONE! except mine, lol.

Haha! Funny thread this one! Ive had it mistaken for a Scirocco before, my stepdad calls it the ' CORRODO ' kind of ironic seeing as it doesnt corrode at all, and mum calls it the ' CORRADA '

Good work! :salute: Id love to have a garage or driveway to work on mine like that.

Nothing to noticeable really, theyre usually intermittent too like the sunroof. Although the rear n/s suspension has been making sort of a knocking sound that I could only describe as a ' clack ' when driven over bumps :confused4: etc which Im sure isnt good and probably needs investigating

I like the individual touches youve made, like the sprayed sebrings. Looking good mate!

Looks like a fantastic day, always wanted to go on one of these. Wouldnt mind going on a skid pan too, but not in a skyline! :lol:

Just saw this thread, reminded me of the Delorean I saw in oct of last year I think it was, on the A322 near Bracknell...seems theres a few about still.

Hi mate, something similar happened to me not so long ago, except it was the whole sunroof stuck on tilt! :shock: Firstly if you have the instruction manual there should be instructions on shutting it manually... ( mine is an early spec 16v, yours might be later so I dont know if that makes a difference) I used a knife to gently prise out the interior light/ switch panel from the side. Then unplugged this panel. This should reveal 2 screws at the front which hold the cover in place, un screw these then mine slid backwards to unclip. On the sunroof motor there is a big flat headed screw with a smaller plastic screw ( delicate ) in the centre of it. I used a screwdriver to push in the little plastic screw which must disengage the motor and then turn the big screw to manually shut the roof. As mentioned before yours might be different if a later model and I hope all that made sense :)

As modern wheels go those really suit the C me thinks, are they Audi? looks mint.

Mine's a daily driver, I dont think I'd have it any other way! :)

Part of the problem is the fact that car dealers nowadays are making very little profeit on new/ used car sales as competition is so intense from the likes of car land etc. So they now have to try and claw back every penny they can from aftersales 'service' and so on, this is a prime example of that. Its also part of the reason why main dealers charge such extortionate hourly rates for their services. This does make for an amusing read as well!
