  1. new rear lights and front bumper for me, looks a gooden though
  2. i would leave the wheels on it to, will help with the sale i would of thought. Then get a nice VR :)
  3. im going for £1300 with wheels tops, more likely less at the min i sold a resprayed valver, mint with lot lower mileage for £1700 at the beginning of the year...
  4. even if they arent Jim, just a couple of quotes that are realistic would do at the minute, 5k is horrendous
  5. whats the agreed value? 5k is far too much money, i would say closer to half that would be more realistic
  6. thats far too much, have you got a breakdown of the costs?
  7. i usually get out the car quickly when i have something inside i shouldnt have, and it does work a treat :lol:
  8. just dont except what they offer, try and find mint examples of corrados for sale to prove its value, haggle basically and you will get a better price fingers crossed but it doesnt look good i dont think :(
  9. do i get added scene points for getting pulled over? :lol:
  10. be interesting to see how they get on, with wheel sealant im sure they will be fine though
  11. http://shop.autobritedirect.co.uk/einsz ... -760-p.asp will stop my door sticking shut this time, last winter my golf GTI door handles were frozen, then the door was frozen shut to, the handbrake froze on as well so i had to leave it off, was a nighmare :lol: does anyone know of something i can put in my door locks to stop them freezing? WD40 maybe?
  12. it might depend on the powder coating, but i know some wheel refurbishment places lacquer them afterwards http://www.maxpowderalloys.co.uk/powder_coating.htm that explains the process i am familiar with
  13. yeah that sounds good, will probably be the sunday as will be getting the dash back in saturday (hopefully :lol:) I wil PM you a list later this evening, mainly interior bits and bobs
  14. i would be a bit worried as they arent laquered on top, but they look great at the minute! i suppose some decent wheel sealant would help a lot
  15. if i got pulled over now i would take that approach being that bit older now :eek: and them police traffic programs, sometimes the people they pull over are such idiots i can understand why the cops might be like they are, but sometimes the police are being arseholes so no wonder people abuse them, both as bad as one another i suppose :snipersmile: :lcop: :lol:
  16. ^^^ as above, that is most peoples experiences with the police... even my dad has been pulled and spoken down to like that, he hasnt put a foot wrong his whole life so have some respect! they arent all like that, but at least half i have met are around my area only a few weeks ago I was speeding down the A1 and i noticed a copper flying trying to keep up, i slowed down and they pulled along side me and i gave them the nod, basically saying i know i had been going to fast, and they gave me the nod back as in to say dont let us catch you doing it again! so they arent all bad
  17. thats a very good price, did they laquer them to?
  18. what did you have done, powder coating?
  19. lets face it, it wouldnt be corrado ownership without someone saying "nice scirocco mate" :lol:
  20. G3 is the sealant :tongue: but get G1 as it lasts longer! i know what you mean about doing it good and taking your time with it... and much appreicated, i still need to get a couple of bits off you, so will have to come over and take you out in it :) cheers bud, i got it from here http://shop.autobritedirect.co.uk/einsz ... -760-p.asp nice one... and yeah, you need to get on it :lol: cheers Chris! you can only get the Gtechniq stuff direct from them, i have recently done a review on detailing world for their wheel armor to, looks impressive so far http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... p?t=189099 http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/
  21. ^^ thats shocking, but whats even more shocking is im not suprised that has happened....
  22. from my own experience, if your a young male and the police think you have done something wrong they will be nobs whatever, seen it many times... i got pulled over one friday night and they were being dicks, told me a didnt pull over straight away so accused me of drink driving (there wasnt any where safe to stop btw), only until i had done the test and they realised i was just driving home were they polite to me! how can you be polite to someone when they talk down to you! if i havent done anything wrong and they give me attitude, im sorry but i give it back! not saying they are all like this, i have had some dealings with some i really liked, and you always come away thinking why arent they all like that
  23. If I had a GT3 I would not be driving it slowly! :D by the time you own one you will be kev :lol:
