  1. Thankyou to CazzaVR for fuel lines, packaged well and delivered very quickly. Callum
  2. [/color]I'll have a grey one please send me paypal details when ready cheers
  3. I picked up a momo course wheel dirt cheap after my original wheel fell apart, very customisable, as of this afternoon it looks like this not to everyones taste but no reason it couldnt be done any different as it was sprayed the same colour as my car
  4. Quick update, finally got round to modifying a steering wheel I bought over the forums, I had originally painted it the same colour as the car but didnt like it so after one failed attempt yesterday and finding a can of BMW sparkling graphite paint in the garage this is what happened think it looks awesome
  5. Their a se of dubmeister.co.uk legal pressed plates although I got them at their stand at edition38 and cost £15 for the set which is a little bit less than online but I have got them before for other cars from them and they have always been very high quality
  6. Haven't updated this in ages since im trying to rebuild my polo and the gf's lupo in the mean time. With money being tight only done a few cosmetic bits but I think they make a big difference First of all I got id of the old door handles as they were faded and looked messy with the locks which I dont need The replacement was some seat toledo rear handles that were a pretty similar colour and after replacing the levers they went on, the colour match isnt perfect but its close enough so you cant tell if your not up close and smooths out the look of the handles The next thing I replaced were the old wipers as they had been bent to try to get a better clearance of water as rado's are known for having crap wipers And so I decided to treat it to a Christmas present of a Storm single wiper conversion as I'd heard good things on-line about them So all fitted and works a treat along with looking much cleaner and less cluttered at the front. Next things on the to do list are to either upgrade the lights wiring loom or replace the lights all together as their so dull then maybe look to save up for some decent coil-overs in the new year, probably be hard though now im on the dole!
  7. very inspirational build thread making me wonder why I'm being so lazy in doing my C, I may have missed it if you said, so sorry to sound stupid, but what KW's are you running?
  8. ooh saw this many a time walking the missus up the field, looks spot on
  9. Since im finally getting the rado back after two months in the garage sourcing an ABS fault. Just occurred I never asked if it was a common fault or an easy fix that when I get over 30mph the drivers side wing mirror causes a loud whistling noise as the air travels between it and the window. Surely not a design issue and when I put my hand between the stem of the wing mirror and the glass it stops. Isnt exactly a crisis but very annoying. Anyone had this issue/know how to get rid of it?
  10. agree with Critical_Mass could be a lot worse, had kids throw half a brick at me while doing 70 on the A1 in my mk2 polo and made a hell of a mess of my wing, wish they'd thrown eggs instead / the police actually did something about it
  11. http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Jetta_II--16v/Wheels/Adapters/ES10482/ think this is what you mean
  12. thankyou very much that would be excellent
  13. Do you happen to have the ABS ecu and associated relays (numbers 79 and 179)?
  14. Desperately need a spare abs ecu to test fault before I have to call in an auto electrician and have my bank emptied the part number for the ecu is 1H0 907 379 D and relays 79 and 179 which are the same asin a mk3 golf but dont know if all corrados are the same part, thankyou
  15. Have had my corrado for a couple of months now and was bought from someone into cars and I was told it was well serviced. However I dont feel it has the guts when I put my foot down that it should have, wondered if theirs any common issues I should know about the corrados 2.0 16v engine that can cause it to not run at full capacity. p.s. have had a seat cordoba with the same engine before so have some idea of how they should go and have let others have a go and they agree its just lacking guts Any advice and help much appreciated
  16. Only issue is access but its a straight swap nice and easy
  17. Bought this 2 months ago and now quite aquainted with it so thought I'd start a little project thread as a record of what I do with it. This is how I bought it with the polished Lenso's and wolfsburg badges all over it The lenso's were taking a beating over the bad weather so got a set of G60 steels cheap But due to the lovely potholes and the amount of miles I do it was only a matter of time before I connected and bent two of the steels so its back on the lenso's (although ive had both g60 steels repaired the tyres are shot so cba to change them back) Then came time to try and de-wolfsburg the C since the corrado didnt have much to do with the wolfsburg factory didnt make much sense to me buy each to his own bought a second hand rear badge and then colour coded it to the body work with the rear part matt black so it stands out slightly Then only last week I got rid of the wolfsburg wheel centre's, didnt fance a VW logo on them so went for something a bit different, not too everyone taste but I like how it turned out. Bought the stickers then applied and lacquered to hopefully prolong the life off them and thats it so far, well except from it breaking down twice already so its had a new starter motor and oil sensors to stop it leaking. but had VW's for a little while now so know they just want a money injection now and then to stay happy:D
  18. Well worth a watch to see what it goes for
  19. Really wishing I hadnt read this before my long drive tonigt with no grille to reduce air pushing up underneath the bonnet, but glad your ok and doesnt sound too bad considering how bleeding heavy C bonnets are!
  20. Would also be interested in any issues with fitting/advice as ive just ordered one similar for my C
  21. Interested in the urethane front lip depending on price since i catch mine every time I drive down the dirt track that is my drive
  22. Be interested to find the previous owner of M63 GVC as I have just purchased it and it came with corrado club stickers on both side windows but werent put their by the guy I got it off
