  1. A bit of an update on the Golf (Corrado still in the garage under wraps)I had a few bodywork niggles which I just had to get sorted. It was nothing major just bits such as bird sh!t etching on the roof which annoyed me each time I cleaned it. Also took the opportunity to have a new windscreen fitted although they are now obsolete from VW!!! I'll let the pics do the talking.....
  2. Sorry Sean - just seen your reply. I could not make National Day for a number of reasons, including the fact that the MOT has run out on the Corrado and I already have had to put three cars through thier MOT's this month as well as taxing and insuring the Golf. Yes I have been tardy with updating my thread - bollocking accepted :) Even got a ribbing from the MOT tester who observed that I have covered less than 1000 miles in the Golf over the past 4 years.
  3. Just phoned my local TPS who have 5Li of Quantum Platinum oil on offer @ £13.39 + VAT. Time to stock up. I think other oils are on offer too.
  4. Welcome. Good to see another Corrado is now living in the area :)
  5. The value will probably increase when the Corrado becomes "retro" as opposed to classic. Retro attracts serious "scene tax" ;)
  6. Ah, it must be for those who have ordered from them in the past. It's worth joining their mailing list as there are always regular offers.
  7. Is that why many good modded cars end up being broken as the sum of their parts is worth more than the car itself?
  8. Just use "free10" at the checkout for £10 off your order, even if it's £10 or less http://www.3mdirect.co.uk/c-526-automotive-marine.aspx Came to me as a promotional on their mailing list.
  9. It will always end up being determined by supply (getting more limited) and demand (not sure what the demand is at present). One thing I have leant over my many years of VAG ownership is that original non modified examples always get the most interest when it comes to selling.
  10. The good ones will always command a better price, whether or not they sell is a different matter and there is also a lot of cr@p out there. I would imagine that prices will eventually increase much as they have done for MK1 and MK2 Golf GTI's. I find it hard to come to terms that my Mk2 Golf is worth 40 - 60% more than my Corrado. The Corrado gets to live in the garage though.
  11. Not too sure about trimmers in the area, especially one good enough to trim a steering wheel. No worries about the wheels the drive is worth it and it works out cheaper than using local companies even taking fuel costs into account. There are some pics of their work on my thread. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=37518&page=4&highlight=Vr6+south+history
  12. http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/ This should explain all. It is not worth doing it yourself for the price they charge. They usually remove and fit your tyres FOC which is a bonus.
  13. Great work Sean. You are coping with the result of many bodge jobs really well. Give me a shout if you plan on getting your wheels done in the near future as I am planning a trip to BJV to get my Fabia wheels done over the summer leave period.
  14. Total respect. Well done Andy!
  15. Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your new Corrado.
  16. I brought loads of thier products last time a similar offer was on. The only thing I would not recommed is the leather wipes.
  17. Also apply some heat to the bolts before using the Irwin's. This method has never failed for me.
  18. they are more like the Spiders which are fitted to the Mk 1 Octavia vRS.
  19. I'll collect mine if it's OK with you and you are not too far away from me :)
  20. Drop me a pm when they arrive. I would like to collect if possible?
  21. Put me down for one for a VR please. No emblem thanks.
