Much better. They should look great when on the car :)

I've finally managed to acquire some Audioscape pods so need to source some speakers for them. I really know nothing about car audio although talking to Abdul it seems the head unit in the car is quite good (Pioneer P88RS). I don't even know what size speakers I need. I've measured the inside of the pods and it looks like there is a touch over 6.5 inches space in there. But does that mean I need 6.5" speakers? Is that how they are measured? As you can see, I know very little about audio so any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

That picture really tells a story about the different lives the two cars have had. At one time both of them would have had a proud buyer being handed the brand new keys by a salesman. Now one is still being kept alive but the other has decayed to the point of being stripped and left at the roadside. EDIT: Roof trim still looks like it's there. Also, is the rear bumper any good?

The "what went wrong with my Corrado today" thread
Portent replied to huggy's topic in General Car Chat
Discovered a few days ago that neither key opens the passenger door lock. I guess I should have found that when I bought it last year. New handle or retumbling required. Will add it to the list. -
Thanks. I'll give my local one a try. They can only say no :)

Sorry if this is a silly question but I assume when people talk about TPS they mean www.thetradepartsspecialists.co.uk? Their website seems to indicate they only sell to the trade. So do you guys just make up a fake company name when registering or do you just rock up to the counter no questions asked?

Is it just my imagination or does there seem to be a lot of regulars selling up right now?

Probably a large engined 3 series coupe of some kind.

Yes got it. I've just replied too. Let me know if you didn't get it. EDIT: Ah bugger I replied to the email notification itself, not the PM. It won't have got to you. Hold on a min I'll re-send via pm. EDIT AGAIN: Ok, just sent it via pm this time. You should have it now. Doh, I must stop browsing these forums on a phone :)

He's totally car mad. Every time I leave the door open he's in the drivers seat. The grills probably sity flush because there aren't any speakers in them yet. Good idea about the badges. I do prefer the black but every now and then I see a picture of silver and get tempted to swap back. Thanks. It still has a lot of rough edges and I look at other cars and think "I wish mine was as good as theirs". I think it's a bit like cooking; it always tastes better when someone else has cooked it :)

TO CLEAR - Remaining Corrado Parts in VAG UK stock.
Portent replied to Pat_McCrotch's topic in Forum Group-Buys
I will take the rear wiper arm and damaged steering cowl. Will phone Monday. Also please put me down as second in line for the undamaged cowl if that falls through for any reason. Thanks. -
Thanks. The car has apparently had a replacement in the past but I guess that may have been an Ebay special.

A horrible rumbling started today on all fan settings. It doesn't seem to get worse with the fan speed and sounds like it is Coming from behind the glove box where I gather the motor is. Can you still get the motors? How many of my children will I have to sacrifice to get one? How bad a job is it to replace? Fan still works fine so will just turn the music up for now until I get a replacement :)
