  1. As per the title, I'm looking for a black bonnet Thankyou Oli.
  2. Just encase you hadn't sorted the rev counter issue; I connected the ecu tacho output straight to the original clocks. (I cannot remember ecu pinouts atm) Works perfectly, however mine is a 1990 1.8 16v so I have no idea if your clocks are different at all? The wire that I connected it to ran across the scuttle panel alongside my fuel pump relay earth. (the four pin plug)
  3. Staffs is getting infested with Corrados now you've moved away mate!
  4. Pretty sure I've seen the caddy about, Very nice. I only live in Ipstones and I go through on my way to stafford uni almost every day Oli.
  5. I might ask them for some coil packs or air flow meters instead ;)
  6. Will I have to send them back to Bosch or to the motor factors do you think? I presume Bosch have a complaints department listed somewhere on there site. None of the other three plugs have any signs of running too hot or cold either; and they are the correct model according to Bosch.
  7. I'd rather have my money back to be honest :/ As you say the potential damage could have been very costly!
  8. No that's not bent mate, the thread of the adapter nut has also become stripped somehow (with my phone camera i cannot get a picture on my phone). I fitted them brand new myself and I definitely have not put any unnecessary stress on the plug. And the insulator nose is hanging out of the bottom mate! I've already replaced them with NGK's now. It should look like this; [ATTACH=CONFIG]50481[/ATTACH]
  9. Had a misfire on my 1.8t yesterday so I pulled the plugs out and have a look whats going on. I then found that the lower part of the insulator had dropped down inside the plug and was luckily caught by the four grounds, has anyone else had this with any plugs before? pretty sure its a first for me tbh.
  10. Nice clean car mate! Did I see you in cheadle about a week ago? Oli.
  11. No problem mate I think thats the one, The industrial estate in chesterton? oli.
  12. There was an early passat in at AVR in newcastle if your ever passing; I'm not sure if it had a glass roof but worth a shot maybe.
  13. Thankyou for the comments :) The car is black though, must just be the light in the photos or something They were only taken on my phone, I'm no photographer aha. Oli.
  14. Cheers, doesn't look too shoddy when its wet tbf. Whats DBP stand for by the way? Oli.

  16. Hi all, This is my 1990 Corrado 16v that i brought about 6 months ago. I brought it because it's in really good condition underneath, but on the outside the paintwork leaves a bit to be desired, and it needs a bonnet and has a nasty grey interior therefore its a work in progress. Since I've had it's had the following; -Full stainless system -1.8 20vt d.i.y conversion (standard management) -borbet C's (which are being refurbed atm) -tinted rear lights (which I ran out of lacquer on) -remapped -Forge Split-r -Qpend downpipe -corner weighted and tracked up by myself -few other bits and bobs -Silicone T.I.P I still need a few bits of paint doing, get some standard indicators, black interior and dash etc or strip it out and make myself a cage, uprated headlight loom, more gauges, and a standard grill :) Oli.

    Hey

    Hello, I'm from Stoke on Trent and drive a Black 1990 16v Corrado, been registered on the forum a while but not posted before. Had a few Golf's, Polo's and a Scirocco before and I've done a few engine conversions, so I decided to drop a 20vt into the one I have now and set up the suspension and corner weighting and now I'm pretty happy with how it drives considering the budget that I've built it on. Are there any local meets about? I'll get some pics up soon when I make a new photobucket account. Cheers Oliver
  18. Theres a few more around stoke then!, has anybody got a white Corrado from Cheadle? I saw one this morning.
