Saw a blue 16v on tesco carpark in Stafford today, think it was a L reg. Anyone off here? I was parked a few spaces down in my purple 16v :)

Ok cheers that would be great

Hi mate, I'm interesed in this as mines ripped in the drivers foot well, around the plasic part. Is there much wear on your carpet around that area? Cheers alex

Hi all, its been a while since I was last on here as my old corrado was wriiten off when i got pulled out on coming back from work :( I was gutted!!!! But after owning a Seat Leon ive decided to buy another :) Its a purple 1991 1.8 16v, needs a few small jobs doing but its a good solid base so I'm happy with it. I'll get some pics of it up soon. Alex

Had the Corrado for nearly a month now and started doing a few bits a bobs so I've started a thread in the members gallery section.

Heres some pics of the car when i first collected it, at least its red now now pink. Think the new wheels suit it abit better than the old ones too.

Hi all, I signed up around a month ago now so I think its time I pop up a thread and get up some pics. I've always had dubs but this is my first corrado so all comments welcome. Its was a 1.8 16v but has had the 2.0 16v engine fitted by the previous owner as the old engine gave up. Since owning it I've fixed the speedo cable, treated it to another set of wheels as the old one's wernt my cup of tea, and gave it a damn good clean. Heres some pics of it now, I need a new grill as the old one must not have been fitted properly and blew off when I went for a spirited drive lol. Anyway hope you all like it.

Nice looking car mate! Not long signed up myself, got a red G reg valver too.

Hi, Right to begin my car is a 1989 1.8 16v that has had a 2.0 16v engine fitted by the previous owner. Some of the wiring under the bonnet and the inside of the car has been chopped up rather nicely lol and joined together not so well, if you know what I meen lol. I can get my hands on a full un chopped interior loom and engine bay loom from a 1991 1.8 16v, the looms look the same as whats in my car exept the speedo is electronic and mine has a speedo cable, so on the new loom there are a few extra wires that will be for the speedo sensor in the gearbox and on the interior loom another plug for in the back of the clocks. So after all that my question is, would it be possible to fit the new interior and engine bay looms, put an electronic speedo sensor in the gearbox to replace my cable drive and put in a set of clocks that have the electronic speedo? Getting all the wiring in wont be too much of a problem as the car is off the road and pretty much mostly stripped as I will be building fom ground up. Also I can get my hands on the donor car for any parts. But will there be any probs in terms of my ECU and will the MFA work correctly? Or shall I just forget the whole idea and try to repair what I have. Thanks Alex

Hi I'm after a complete wiring loom for under the bonnet of a 1.8 16v, so all the engine loom and the wiring for headlights etc... I'm looking for it as complete as pos and would prefer if it has the wires for the electronic speedo instead for the cable speedo. If anyone has one drop me a pm or call/text on 07907569269 cheers Alex

Thanks, yeah been doing some reading and found loads of useful info already. Great site! Anyway I still havent found the time to take some pics, so heres some from the for sale thread when I first bought the car. It looks pretty much the same to be honest, havent made it mine yet lol. So far I've fixed the speedo and sorted the exhaust as it was knocking and hanging abit low. Also forgot to say in the first post that as its an early one it used to be a 1.8 16v but the engine gave up so the previous owner had a 2.0 16v fitted, its running on all the 1.8 stuff, injection, gearbox, etc...

Ok, cheers guys, nah I dont have either just wondered lol. Are there different heated seat switches for earlier and later dashes or do they use the same one?

Hi, just wondering if someone can tell me which switches go in the blanking caps/plates in my dash. Its an early 1.8 16v and just want to know about the two that are below my fog light and heated rear window switches? Cheers Alex

Hi, I'm looking for a full interior wiring loom from an early Corrado, preferably with electric windows. Its for a 16v. I'd like is as complete as possible, if anyone has one. Thanks Alex

Oh... feel kind of stupid now lol. I've only had my corrado for a week so forgive my ignorance. Saw a pic of one with black headlining so it must have been a custom job.

Hi, I'm after a black headlining. It must have the hole for a sunroof. If it makes a difference its an electric sunroof from an early model. Thanks Alex

Cheers for the replies, I got it fairly local from a guy on here, russed99 if anyone knows him. Should hopefully be picking some new wheels up tomorrow so I'll pop them on give it a clean and post up some pics over the weekend.

Hi, I'm after a front grill for my corrado, either badged or badgeless, preferably black or red. Mine fell off lmao. If you have one drop me a text on 07907569269 Cheers Alex

Hi all, picked up my first corrado last night, its a red 2.0 16v. I've only ever own VW's so I know the basics, but its unlike anything I've driven before :) I'm form Cannock, Staffordshire, there many other owners around by me? I've only seen one other around. I'll give it a clean and pop some pics up soon. Alex

Hi, Im after a speedo cable for a 1.8 16v if anyone has one? Its a early 1989 if that matters. If anyone has one drop me a text on 07907569269. Cheers Alex
