  1. Cool, thanks for the pics. I'll have everything stated. If you can find out about the controls that would be great. Ok, could we hang fire on the wing. Looks good though, I'll see if I can get one closer to home. If not, then maybe look at getting a flat screen TV box for the wing. That might work possibly? Next up! Drivers door handle inc mirror switch ABS switch Do you have the window switches please? Once I find out about the rear lights, can we do a total for everything and then I guess you would need to get some sort of postage cost. Cheers buddy.
  2. Ideal, can you dig it out and let us know whats it like, plus what would you like for it please?
  3. I don't mind paying a bit extra for a big box to put stuff like fogs in. Lots of bubble wrap and scrunched newspaper have protected headlights I've posted in the past with no problems. What condition are the rear lights please? Want to spray a set red, so need to be good. Got a good condition Chrome Corrado badge for the rear?
  4. I'll take the Dash Centre and Heater controls please bud. ---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ---------- Pass Wing also please. Number plate plinth. Front Fogs if undamaged. Pass indicator Let us know a total for everything please bud.
  5. Of course Jim, added to the list so don't worry. Pay whenever you can, you won't miss out now you're on the list.
  6. How about the rear sunroof drain pipe? Or a split in a boot rubber?
  7. Thanks for looking Jim. Tim, not sure on leather. Rodmax, can I see some pics and give us a description of the condition please mate.
  8. Maybe have a look at the quality of the loom?
  9. Give Robrado974 a pm, he has 2 spare.
  10. Yep still available. About 20 or so left. No mod needed on the wire, that's a personal choice. I'll pm you later on for payment details.
  11. Let the bid war begin! Haha.
  12. Exactly the reason why I don't mind spending on mine each year. I can justify my spending then.Brakes- £700 ishWheels- £350 Interior- £400Repairs and servicing- £5-700Offset by buying and selling parts like the old wheels and S3 seats. I can see spending getting bigger this coming year.
  13. Remember Rob, the crack pipe is the one you hide in the toilet cistern :eek:
  14. Would be great if you find them, cheers buddy. No rush for them.
  15. Found the passenger side support has a broken part on it, so need a mint one or if no-one is willing to sell just one I would take a pair.
  16. Hey guys, As some of you might be aware, I'm looking into sending a pair of wings to a Carbon manufacturing company for them to be used for a mould. I picked up a mint drivers side wing for £20 a couple nights ago. Now of course I need a passenger side one for as good a price as possible please. No dents, dinks or rust really. Let me know if you have one to help out getting these made in Carbon.
  17. Cool, we could go halves, you get your shiny new engine and I could put up with taking the charger, mmmmm. Lovely. :thumbleft:
  18. The factory would take a mould from the original wing. It would be too hard to ask them to fabricate something thats a different shape and would be even more expensive I imagine. Not really a case of asking for early, I need to send them the wings to start with. I have the late drivers side, just need to get a mint passenger side.
  19. Crazy price! There's a lot of money in it if they break it. Hope not though.
  20. That's good to hear Chris, I thought I would remove the key so it would stop any confusion with people not being sure about which part to get rid of. Glad you're pleased buddy.
  21. Cool, another local VR. Be good to see you and the C. What's the spec and pics are needed of course! Welcome to the best forum around btw.
  22. Hey guys, After the success of the Headlight Switch group buy, its given me an appetite to see what other parts can be bought or made to make our lives easier for the future ownership of these cars. As we all know, its getting more difficult to buy good straight wings with no rust on them.Tonight I have been lucky enough to collect a mint rust free late front drivers wing. I want to find a mint passenger side one to have a pair. From this, I can send them over to a Carbon manufacturer company based in China to take moulds from them and produce new carbon wings for us. I have purchased a range of parts from this company and am presently waiting for the shipment to come home. I fully expect the quality to be there in being able to reproduce these wings to give good and true shut lines. They manufacture for a large amount of car companies and sell across the globe. I know people will think doing the wings in carbon will not save much weight and that is very true, my take on it is the wings will be very strong and keep shape over time and you never have to worry about rust again. The manufacturer will be sent detailed pics of the wings and they can arrange a price with me, I can then see if it is viable proposition for us to continue with it.They stated that they would need a minimum of 5 orders to develop the mould. Due to how busy they are, by the time the wings reach the front of the queue, we would be talking at least a couple or so months away. Production and shipping could account for another 2-3 months. So this could be a long term group buy. I just wanted to gauge to see if there would be any demand for this product, obviously at a price we could all agree on that is affordable. Thoughts on pricing would be very welcome as I don't expect this to be a bargain basement item. If I did get firm commitment of a number of people, I probably would need some form of deposit to help towards paying for all this for us. My order of parts (Golf mk5 & 6) had to be paid for upfront first. Please let us know what you think, if you want parts, I'll do my best to make it happen :thumbleft:
  23. Just checked and yours went yesterday Jim, so I'd expect to see it tomorrow mate.Thanks to everyone putting that you've received them and are happy with everything. Means a lot.
