Yup some great bays on the forum but at the moment C5 OEM is my favourite - how it was meant to be :salute:[/quote:393aycmx] cheers guys, still got lots to improve but going in the right direction :notworthy:

Who can compete with the Don :notworthy: I`m getting closer//!!!!1

Runner up at ccgb to osv...very happy... :clap:

I am a retained consultant on Andy's car, nice isn't it :wave: I am the karate kid and he is Mr Miyagi... 8) wax on wax off.... not got passed that stage yet..lol

Big thanks to BigTartanJudge for posting the wheel so quickly and for coullstar for helping the deal along... :notworthy: Sent out 4.30 last night arrived 8am this morning.... treated it to a good leather clean and then leather cream to nourish.

Both oem corrado ones and the parts number on one of the previous pages and still available from vw.

Cheated on the manifold just for this year and painted the front part and then used wire wool to fade it back to give a clean but not perfect finish...yes my name is andrew and i have OCD..!!! Used autosmart g101 degreaser mixed in a bucket and various brushes and a hose pipe, have gone over it a few times and dressed it with ultra trim. Will take most of the front end apart over winter and restore/replace what needs improving. Thanks for the positive feedback.

Fitted new header tank and bit more bay cleaning.. new warning sticker fitted on rad cover..

cheers mate, i knew i`d seen something about it..

What/ how does this part fix to the bulk head...? there are 2 potential lugs to fix onto...? might have put something wrong way round when refitting...?

Anyone know where else to get the proctective circle thats on the tailgate to stop the rubbing from the tailgate stops,....?? vw sell 12inch by 12inch piece for £25..!!!

the car lives outside but may fit an outside socket for winter..

Mine had gone past the point of being able to treat an add color with any products...i`ve tried everything..!!! Trimmed and sanded the rubber edge,but only trimmed a mm just to tidy the line up really... this was the first stage before shelling out £120 for new ones and to be honest its well worth ten pounds in paint and an hour of your time..[/quote:1ibva43t] From the initial images I have to agree. The finish looks really good. Did you manage to source a battery?[/quote:1ibva43t] No still working with mine, its great if i run the car evert few days.. looking into the 0.1amp current draw at the moment.

3m trim tape is what i`ll be using, get it off ebay.

Difficult to get a good picture but trying to make them look like there not painted if that makes sense..??!!?? :cuckoo: Will see what they look like in daylight..

Been trying to source the speed clips for the headlights but they only came with the actual headlight and vw never gave it a seperate part number,got onto vw germany and they found my there official alternative but not too keen on them so have cleaned and painted mine and now in conversation with hella to see what they can do..Had feed back saying they could not tell me anything due to the license that vw hold on the part but i`m still chasing that up... Got the new hinge cover next to the roof moulds and happy the match is very close, started to paint my body mouldings and will see how they look.Only problem is loosing too much texture..

No mate, bit too far for me.

Cleaned and fitted this morning,pleased with the results and a definate improvement...
