Done & done Jim :D

thought it might be worth adding to this thread that the outer sill parts are obsolete & VW have zero stock in the UK :( fabrication it is then i guess

Oh please let me win this lol

hi anna i have a 1.8 16V - which water pipe is it? i need to install a new matrix & have to replace both of the pipes which attach to it - i may be able to help

Welcome!! I hope you are enjoying it :D i can vouch for those shifters - they are very nice indeed! hint - a dremel makes the fitting job a hell of a lot easier ;)

great info Jim, thank you! when tim was discussing it with me he said he had used gliptone product on the 944 he was having restored. he mentioned that cracks in the leather happen due to the fatty cells we all secrete & that he applied a gliptone product & then used a tea towel & a very cool iron - the process of ironing the leather with the towel in between is so that it draws the fatty cells into the towel & thus reduces the cracks i have been meaning to give this a try for quite some time now but just havent had chance - it would be interesting to see if it works

hi m8 tim who used to present for 5th gear told me a couple of years ago that for excellent results the gliptone range is one of the best IIRC some members here haved used it themselves try here http://www.liquidleather.com/

no problem m8 if i see any others i will post here again for you :)

Tidy Rog!! & the sister product looks good too ;)

hi rabbit you have probably already seen it but there is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-EARLY-STYLE-FRONT-GRILL-WITH-BADGE-VR6-G60-16V-8V-/360756660289?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53fec5c841 early one on ebay it has a slight crack but with some super glue & a rub down / primer / paint it should be ok both bottom tabs are still there too

excellent news karmannski! im sure we are all waiting excitedly :)

indeed its a hard search m8 there seemed to be lost of late grill's but very few early's i only found the one with all 4 tabs still in tact - which is the one i brought, it needs a sanding & respray but that wont take long & ive got the black paint already if i see one i will drop you a message

hi good luck hunting it took me a while vw heritage sell them new but they are very expensive! i managed to source one from ebay which included the VW & 16v badges too - VW heritage is around £80 just for the grill

IIRC the switch & barrel are 2 separate items & can be replaced individually

Oh dear Rog thats terrible to read You must have the patience of a saint to keep persevering on your own :( stick with it tho - the driving of it when fixed will keep your love topped up

i agree Jim & especially seeing as how much the badges have been fetching lately

Oh no!!! ouch nick indeed - how bad was the 'moment'? :(

hi, not sure on the G60 specific questions but the above sounds like you may have electric recaro seat & if the control buttons are missing you may have a tough time as i believe they are like rocking horse poop

Ha ha ha thanks for the morning chuckle reborbet - ive just spat my tea out on my keyboard lol

very nice m8, welcome :)

good result Rog. It shows dedication & getting stuck in really can have its benefits

holy mary EJ thats some serious kit!!! good job your in the car audio business cause it almost makes me feel ill thinking what that lot would retail at please everyone now excuse me for a moment as im off to the toilets to 'relieve' myself ;) LOL PS - out of interest what price do you pay for the dynamat per square metre? im thinking of lining my new lounge back wall with it so i can crank the 5.1 DTS without annoying the neighbour

looking very tidy indeed. welcome, make yourself at home :)

good reporting thanks Rog
