little andrew

Is this still available? If so i can collect saturday (2nd april)

I'd like a set too please if there's a second batch

Slow down a bit! Your putting the rest of us to shame :)

New pic's. Spent the past three days washing, claying, polishing, polishing and polishing the corrado. Quite pleased with it although the light was fading when i took the pictures. It's as smooth as silk to touch now

I feel its the best colour, but then am biased

Good day today, the corrado has awakened from hibernation! First time it's moved out of the garage since the mot ran out in november. And I feel I have now joined an elite group in the corrado world, as of today I now have a sunroof that tilts and SLIDES!!! Roll on summer! Finally fitted sunroof repair kit (sunroofs bin out of the car since january). As one of the little feet had broken off the rear guide on the passenger side, so the guide itself then would not sit level so when you tried to slide the sunroof back the front guide could not clip into rear guide to push it backwards and it jammed. Also while the headlining was out of the car I gave it a damn good clean, so much easier when its on the floor in the garage than laying on your back in the car giving yourself arm ache. Just a few more jobs left to do and its ready to go for its mot. I think tomorrow I'll give it a good wash to get rid of all the dust from hibernation followed by a good polishing session - happy days

Can't say the adds offend me, don't usually pay them any attention. Except when am on pistonheads and the breast enlargement add appears, the fit bird with big boobs in just her underwear. Please please may we have that one on here

got mine today too :wave:

Anybody like my new toy???? :luvlove: Well with a bit of time off work these past few days i've been a little busy on gt5. Won this on a-spec professional series gran turismo world championship - Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '09 which is now modified producing 1237BHP!!!!! This thing is amazing, although for some stupid reason its only a standard car not a premiun model?! (and a toyota yaris is a premiun model????) Got quite a few decent cars now so am liking the game more but there's one car that i've not yet got and really want a Audi quattro '82 can anyone one help? I keep checking the used car dealership and nothing so i don't no whether you win it (i no there's one cos i raced it in special events gran turismo rally intermediate level)

Your Amazon.co.uk order has dispatched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have been looking forward to this game for years, one of the reasons why i bought a ps3. Having seen the car list I am a little dissappointed, do you really need 40 nissan skyline's???? http://eu.gran-turismo.com/local/gb/dat ... st_en.html

just a thought but are your wiper blades identical? in that mine are both 19 inch blades but on looking more closely the bit were they attach to the wiper arm (that square block bit) on one blade its about 50/50 in the middle but the other blade its about 55/45 slightly biased to one side but not enough that you'd notice. both of my blades have different part numbers too 6x2955426 and 1j2955425b. i bought my car with this converison already done so i don't no if mine is 100% correct. Slight question in general about the lupo conversion. Am asuming that the wiper arms and blades from the lupo just replace the standard setup? reason am asking is i went into halfords yesterday as my wiper blades need replacing and using the guide book it says the lupo has the old fashioned style blades not the newer aero blades. so i asked one of the part monkeys as i couldn't find the blades i wanted (i showed him one of my wiper blades from my car) he then looked it up on the computer and told me the lupo never came with the aero blades. i then had to explain it was actually a volkswagen corrado but with a lupo wiper conversion on but it was done by the previous owner so i didn't no much about the details of the conversion. he then told me again that the lupo never came with them blades and the previous owner must of lied to me. i then decided to walk out of the shop, :censored: useless people.

Well done you bought one in the best colour!!!! :salute:

please could you put me down for four. annoys the hell out of me when i shut the door :bad-words:

Please could somebody add little me :wave: LN8 Market Rasen Andrew L reg VR6 Blackberry Thanks

I want one of these :luvlove: . hopefully before christmas as a 30th birthday present to myself, just gotta sell the corrado first

Thank you people. One little mod I forgot to mention which was very worth while and one every corrado should have done, courtesy of 'daves16v' is a bracket that helps secure the plastic handbrake tunnel trim to the floor, stops it moving and creeking as soon as look at it. link- viewtopic.php?f=19&t=67809#p787314. Bit unsure whether to put the side rubbing strips back on, I prefer the original look with them on but as i may sell the car at some point ( i know of a audi ur quattro coming up for sale which i'd very much like :luvlove: ) i may leave them off for the next owner. cos if I put them on and they prefer them off they may not come off very easily or take paint off

Hello all, my name is Andrew and this is my Corrado. Bought it back in April this year, done a few bits to it in that time so feel I now qualify to put a post in here. Bought it from a previous corrado forum member, few pics below how it looked when I got it home - Bought as a project, little rough round the edges but mechanically sound. known faults were abs light permanently on, sunroof tilts but doesn't slide, central locking not working, heater not working on position 1 and the bodywork wasn't great. few scratches here and there and finished in various shades of blackberry in varying quality. Also had the remains of a gearbox lock fitted i.e. just the metal bracket that attached to the transmission tunnel. My plans for the car are just to restore it and keep it original. All excited first thing I did was give it a good wash and hover. Then I found my first problem, carpet in front and back on drivers side was very very wet (little puddle in back). Not a problem I thought I’ve had old Volkswagens before that have leaked after heavy rain, must be the membrane/plastic on the back of the door card not stuck to the door properly. After further investigations found it to be three things, plastic on back of door card not stuck properly, weather/rubber seal that sits on top of door against glass (huge gap between the two) and lastly the door itself had a crack were the frame from the window meets the door bottom = door knackered. Wasn't too bothered as door was very rusty along the bottom and was going to give the car a full re-spray at some point anyway. Later sourced myself a blue door off of e-bay. In the mean time decided to take interior out to give it all a good shampoo, the smell that greeted me when I took the carpets and sound proofing out was NOT pleasant!! Must have been leaking years as it smelt real bad, the foam bit under the rubber sound proofing had started to decompose. The rubber was alright so used a scrapper to scrap the foam off (have put carpet under lay under rubber now) Next I booked the car in for full re-spray ahead of schedule, as the car wasn't waterproof I couldn't use it or put the interior back in till it was water tight. In the mean time started sourcing few bits that needing replacing or were just missing. Mended the heater not working on position 1 and petrol leak when cold (replaced an old clip with new jubilee clip - silly but simple) thanks to posts in this forum. Removed remainder of gearbox lock. Sourced some original speedlines locally, few scratches on them but there like new. Given it a full service and after reading posts in here elected for a k&n panel filter. Bought new bumper grill as mine was badly damaged £48.18 + vat from vw and not many left. Picked car up couple of weeks ago after re-spray - looks pretty amazing to be fair especially after its techno colour blackberry paint job. And most importantly its now water tight! Gave the car inside a good wash before I put the freshly shampooed carpets back in, put some carpet underlay down under my sound proofing first. Also managed to source a black leather interior for it, gave it a good clean and leather care at the weekend and put that in (after I replaced the started motor). unfortunately it came with early door cards, put the rears cards in but stuck with my cloth front door cards for the time being. Also fitted new badges all round from arz tuning in Germany not cheap but worth it. That’s it so far, very pleased with it and myself at the minute, took some pics of it this morning

please may i take one of these? £16 with drill bit and tap. pm me payment details. thanks

exact same problem with mine. will try this asap :dance:

bought my rado with bbs solitudes on, have to say at some point it will be wearing speedlines again. looks like i may well struggle to sell the solitudes cos ave seen some speedlines for sale......
