hi fella shed is tidied so will dig into the boxes for those bumper brackets for you - do you mean the kinda 8 inch slanted plastic things will a locator each end? i also dug out the facia from the workshop - part number 536858203 part number comes back as a corrado part but i dont recall my early having any locations for the bottom pins - hmmmm - though it did have the tape cassette holder in the console & i didnt think to look when removing to do the matrix

yeah life is pretty good & apart from the gauges, now ive finally got the Modena's, the only thing left for the VR are the gauges yes the gauge panel have VW markings & part number but i couldnt figure if it was a corrado or a golf part - i actually got it off Zak the loom maker from here thanks the help would be cracking. i have got the gauge fitting instructions off here in the wiki IIRC but im not quite sure how they wire in & where they fit to. i will dig them out & take some pics to send you for comparison ive still quite a hoard from the parts you gave me so let me know if you end up needing anything & i can take a look.

nice to see you back keyo, hope you are well cracking spec on that find! not many of us out there with an X1 kit & nothelle's too my old 16v was non ABS too but that had electric windows oddly, looking at the pics, i have one of those centre console pods & gauges but i couldnt figure out how it fits - there are 2 locating kind of looking things at the bottom of it any chance, when you have time, you could try to see how it fits for me pls? i would be very grateful

ha i missed this post years ago lol still got the snkae, she is about 9 or 10 feet long now!

oh dear, that is awful to read & see gutted glad you are ok though

i think you need to be a paid member to advertise on the sale threads

thanks easy, appreciate your post. i still try & come on here at least a couple of times a week or 2 i didnt even know there was a whatsapp group & ive been a mod for years lol good to know that toby has said he will have a look - it would be great if he can return most of the functionality id be happy to help him with testing after fixes if he needs or wants

hi phil thanks for the kind words, they are very much appreciated it does take quite a lot of time & effort to track it all etc but i enjoy speaking with Zak, ive known him through this forum for probably 15 years, & having used his looms for a similar amount of time i understand how helpful they are to other corrado owners though it is very quiet here lately i still fell we have a decent group of people who will help each other where possible im pleased you like the loom - FYI i run Ring xenon max bulbs & find the combination to be excellent welcome to being able to see in the dark lol

honestly, i think so but the lack of contact does concern me i think there are a couple of other moderators but im not sure how active they are - i was kind of hoping someone would post with some news tbh

i dont know who to contact anymore about issues i have tried toby several times but not had any reply - im kind of lost on how to get this place back to some kind of normal functionality

heads up all - looms are ready & tested & can be sent out once the balance has been received by the maker 🙂

hi everyone sorry for the delay & lack of update, december is my busiest period at work the maker has emailed & apologised but said he plans for all looms to be ready by 14th jan could everyone pls send the £55 balance to the same paypal address & by F&F pls i will send out PM's & emails tomorrow when i have more time

hi everyone ive had an update from the maker, copied below: This job is a nightmare. Came back for 5 days and now it’ll be at least 10. What a mess. So this will unfortunately push back the date of delivery for looms. I have all the gear now and the cables are cut to size so that will give me a head start. They will be done before Christmas but I understand that folk might want to pay after. Let’s see how it goes.

i bet the front seats are up for almost that too....or they brought the car just for the seats

ok - No more looms - thank you pls parts have been ordered & hoping to have progress in next few weeks i will update as soon as i get any from the maker

quick update 9 out of 10 deposits received & loom maker is ordering the parts for all 10 hopefully, work commitments the only caveat, he is aiming to have them ready by end of Nov 🙂

afternoon all 2 new requests this have been received but still nothing from the outstanding 3 i will give it till friday & then close this buy off & get it moving the maker is primed ready to order the connectors, he has most of the other parts already, once he has received all of the deposits. i will mail him after this post to let him know the latest thanks to all for patience, i understand getting these group buys to a point of go ahead can take some time just to let everyone know that the maker only covers his costs & a little time & as for myself, i just do it to help fellow owners out to see in the dark really lol
