C5 OEM

Finally got started on the front end, bumper/slam panel off and going to remove the cross member next... Anyone know what this connectors off...?

Its just a case of experience and a gut instinct when you see a good car....in the last 5 years have had mk1 golf series one gti/sportline cabby/mk2 golf 20v/corrado all bought on seeing the cars and getting feedback from the sellers...

Just think you turned down the one i have....lol

535-813-989

can i ask where you got the rear number plate holder from as mines broke :( many thanks ttfn chris[/quote:3e41er1s] from the dealers about 3 months back.

no i cleaned and painted them

Headlight`s all finished and ready to go;

Its good when you bid on your own items..lol

Messed up my headlight and ruined my spare steering wheel.... :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: not my best car day tbh :mad2: :mad2:

Thanks jim

Couldn`t find the answer after searching so has anyone found a company to restore the silver reflective inner of the headlights...?

http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.p ... pic=329410 i`d have this as a cheap daily, think mk3`s are under rated... my first dub was a satin silver 8v.loved it..

well spotted... mirrors/bumper and grill are going to be painted..

cleaned up the tailpipe and just waiting to see if i can fit it in or if i need a smaller silencer...might even chrome it...? few options to look into over winter..want the stock look but better fitting.

Dunlop sp01`s fitted thanks to Mr Lobitos ( nigel )..So all 5 wheels refurbed with brand new tyres... :clap:

I understand that it may well be used for that purpose but i still find it hard to understand putting that much work into certain areas of the car and yet leaving alot of the car far from finished..

Taking off the front bumper,where are the fixing points.../??

Not many corrados out there that are bone stock, even the ones that are considered stock have stainless exhausts on ect.. Having gone so far with my own car i think its fair to say that i think its harder to turn a corrado back to factory spec than most people would imagine. I`ve spent 1500 just in parts from the dealer and none of them have even been service items..!! I understand what gareth is doing as we`ve had many chats about this and it`ll be good to see his car in more stock mode for people to look beyond the wheels and interior and really see the effort thats gone into the underside/brakes and details ect.

love the color..

whats the engineer said...?

I used to do powder coating many many moons ago and the one thing this place does is to put the wheels in the oven before and after they powder coat them as the guy says it helps the overall finish and durability.. We`ll see how they last with our roads and winter.. :gag:

As i thought, it wont harm the wheels adding laquer.Its says there to add extra shine and protection but doesnt have to be there.. it also says they powder coat the laquer on which will add another 60-80 micron`s thickness and loose some of the detail around lettering ect.

didnt think you needed to over the top of powder coating, just wax them and keep them clean.
