C5 OEM

blasted and not laquerd, not bad finish for the time scale and cost but then i am very fussy..not mates rates

powder coated, from a place near me. mossley tameside..

Dropped these off yesterday morning and got them back this morning.. £15 per wheel is a bloody bargain..!!

cheers mate :salute:

furniture clinic for the color balm, used there ultra cleaner first though with a nail brush.

:D painted them ouside then put them in the toilet out of the way of the kids then upstairs in the airing cupboard...!!! my wife is used to me by now..!! 8)

Had to rub the wing mirrors back after my first attempt painting wasn`t the best so oh well practise and all that..!!! Screwed them to some wood to help the job and warm place to dry before laquer.. Door cards cleaned and leather color balm and must say look mint considering the 170k of use..!!

about £100 per panel as a very rough guide but depends where it is on the arch if they can spot repair then laquer the edge out.

Nice one mate, roof strips look spot on.. 8)

Glad your ok; gutted for you,hope things can be sorted out.

Put the sunroof onto tilt and pushed the interior panel back towards the roof lining. There are 4 torque headed screws that hold the metal roof panel to the runners.(These can be adjusted front to back and height) Undo those and carefully lift the roof out. Remove the seal clean the edge and apply small amount of grease to help with fitment and also improve the water resistance. I put the panel face down on 2 cushions and tapped the seal into place with a hammer. Place the roof back into place and nip up the screws then carefully lower the tilt and you maybe have to adjust the position for it to sit perfect. Once the panel was flat i did any final height adjustments,. I will take it all out again and do a How to guide with pictures but just wanted to get it in before the weather turned. thanks andy

where did you get the sunroof seal from dude? from the dealer

had to take the door panel off but other than that no problems, gives me a chance to fit the window runners and clean/paint the door cards as well.. ordered new mirror gaskets as well..

Well started back on my classic car course at college now so have access to ramps,air tools,welders,spray booth just about everything you`d need... So took the wing mirrors off to prep and paint, also fitted sunroof seal and painted the sunroof wind deflector. Front end rebuild next and painting new grill and bumper then fitting all new lights..

So i take it like the mk2 its a case of removing the internal panel and unscrewing the panel off the runners then take the sunroof out and fit seal off the car...?

thanks

ok then i`ll get it sorted and post up the pics

Going to paint mine and wondered can the caseing be removed..? or do i have to take the whole thing off..?

Have done one on my mk2 golf, any advice or tips for doing the corrado...?

think 35 each...

when you going then....?

Nice one mate,he sounded ok when i spoke to him and knows his corrados.

to you...??

if i could trace the history it`d be worth while...and also how did it end up in a scrap yard...??

HUH!!!! ???????????????
