Sorry but I will wait this out a little longer like the rest of you. These threads are entertaining.

Sorry Mark. The artwork has been sent to the supplier already.

Last day to get in on this group buy is this Sunday!

Hi Johnny, Shipped to your home total is £159.

Next week. I'll have pics of the first part shortly. Not at all. Production is starting so they are available to order. I will have pictures of the first carbon fiber version next week.

We added the VR center console gauge faces for the voltage/oil pressure. £23

Than I am assuming they are like the G60 version. There is a good chance our strut caps will fit. The only issue is clearing the top plate of the strut mount but I think it will. The mounting stem will match the strut size and thread pitch. You can also upgrade to the VR upper strut mount since its a better and more durable bearing/mount. I did this on my car.

This group buy will end this coming Sunday. We will be ordering a few extra kits but for UK 16v might not be likely since the response here is so poor. In fact we might not have any UK gauge faces as extra inventory. If there is enough interest we will do another group buy again in a few months. ---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ---------- The gauge faces are about as cheap as we can offer in fact they will go up in cost later. Sorry that the overall cost is so high with the needles. Luis offers a very fair price on his needle kits but unfortunately the availability makes the cost of the Audi needles high. We are trying to find a supplier to make needles that are not as costly.

What strut upper strut mounts does your car have? If they are like the VR6 upper strut mount top plate than these strut caps will fit.

Sorry but you don't understand the work that goes into producing high quality/low volume parts. The costs involved with making a rear wing or many of the other parts that we make is not cheap. That tooling cost needs to be recovered when selling the parts as well as the cost of the parts. With many of the parts we make the volume of parts sold is not that high. We've sold 25 of these rear wings. So its not possible to spread that tooling cost out like you could on mass produced parts. Trust me the margins on the parts we sell is not very high and nowhere near the industry standard. We are not out to make a fortune selling these parts and instead do this for the community of Corrado owners who want unique and high quality parts for their Corrado. Few companies make parts for these cars and one reason is because people don't support the volume of parts needed to make it profitable. We could just as easily focus our time and money on making parts for other cars that are much more profitable but we choose to do this for the love of Corrados. Thank you Jon for posting the pics of the parts and for your business. Looks great!

What happened to all of the people who posted on here saying they wanted to buy the gauge faces? I sent out IM's to everyone and not one response. Spent all of this time sorting out specific kits for the UK and just two guys buy them.

I know Luis who makes the needle kits has to modify the Audi needles to make them work. We have looked for a supplier to make them but typically they want minimum orders of 1000.

I found a bigger pic of that logo to use. Let me see if I can make it this weekend and IM you a sample. I don't know if those needles will work. Luis has to modify the Audi needles to make them work. He was telling me that Mk4 needles work but the temp/fuel needles are too short and don't touch the rest stops.

Let me see if I have time to make the logos. No promises that I can. Here are the updated faces. It seems like most people preferred the Corrado logo on the speedometer and the VR6 or G60 logo on the tachometer. Let me know if this is better. Early G60 Late G60 Late VR6

Audi is doing some cool stuff with their interiors and gauges. DDI and other companies have tried the modern look but no one has ever made OE looking backlit gauges for a Corrado. There are quite a few Corrado owners like myself who want stock looking gauge faces that are backlit so that is the aim and purpose of this group buy. Not a modernized look.

Good to hear Jon. Thank you again for your business.

I think its a nice option instead of aluminum caps that have been around for so long now. I'll message you once your rain tray is ready next week and you can let me know if you want to get some strut caps.

For those who are interested in the illuminated needles you can contact the guy who makes them direct at [email protected]. He can make you a kit and provide all of the specific information. He will also ship direct to you.

All of the lower trims are done. We are making the scuttle tray mold right now and should be in production early next week. I'll post a picture once we pull the first part which will be in carbon fiber. Also contacting everyone about shipping information and collection of balance due for those who made deposits.

Gloss black fiberglass version £58 Carbon fiber with a polished aluminum ring £123 Plastic stem for mounting

Hard to read all of this info on the needles. Wish it was not so involved. Shipping will cost from £9-£13. Here are some pictures of the sample gauge faces. ---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

I stated 3 circuit boards not needles. There is one circuit board for each gauge face for the needles. The temp/fuel is one board not two.
