    The ones without clips are for the rear. I seem to recall that the Golf rear badges were shiny chrome as opposed to the brushed finished ones fitted to the Corrado.

    Managed to break mine the other day when washing the car.

    Do the small round black plugs pull out?

    From their web site it looks like they only spray the face of the wheel as opposed to removing the tyres, media blasting and powder coating the entire wheel which is the best and most durable finish.

    My first car in the 1980s was a Cortina Mk2 1600E. It was near to mint condition. It's still on the road today.

    That would be really helpful. I noticed that there are two small black studs which seem to hold the trim in place at each end. Do these pull out? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    How do you remove the exterior triangle please?
  8. VR6 South
    1984 I think.

    A picture of the engine bay and close ups of the bodywork would help the sale.

    That's a giveaway price if it's as good in the flesh.

    Removal of the trim was very straight forward. I managed to start from a top corner by gently pulling the trim from the outer edge, the inner edge came out by itself. Then it was a case of gently and slowly pulling the trim away. Simple job unless the trim has been bonded in after a screen replacement. Hopefully it will be nearly as easy to refit.

    Thanks Sean. I will see if the seal in the spare hatch can be gently persuaded to come out. I guess it would need to come out to allow the existing glass to be cut out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Thanks. I will have a go tomorrow. I know someone with a spare hatch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Can these be easily replaced or are they bonded in with the window? I mean the hatch window and not the side windows. Thanks

    It's very presentable, just the wrong colour for you. PM sent.

    I know someone who has a late bonnet. It's in Aqua Blue though. There are some age related marks which wouldn't be an issue if you are getting it repainted. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Did you get hold of a bonnet in the end? I may be able to help.

    I have used one call direct this year. Agreed value on a combined policy for the Corrado and Golf for just over £300. Limited mileage at 3K with no breakdown cover. I had AA cover already.

    I have used BJV engineering quite a few times. They are a bit of a hike away; however they are good value for the service they provide.

    Although slightly pricey, I used the Wheel Specialist last year to refurbish the wheels on my Octavia. I managed to haggle the price down a bit which helped. There was only kerbing to overcome on my wheels and no corrosion. Was I happy with the service and finish....yes. When I was there they did tell one customer that thier wheels were badly corroded and this would show after they had been refurbished.

    ...and why??

    I think the OE ones may have been made from different types of plastic over the years. The ones on my 94 VR were totally shot. I replaced then with some from an early 16 valve model which are still perfect. Probably reflects them using cheaper materials over the years, like they did with OE mats.

    So my idea may work and it may be better than the paper thin seal at the bottom. Mmmmm!

    I don't think the pump will be an issue as long as it's 4 bar. It's the gaskets which seem to be an enigma. I am debating with crafting some with a CV boot. I think the main purpose of the gaskets/seals is to stop the pump rattling around in the swirl pot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    After another month passing by, I am still without a fuel pump. It's a long story which should hopefully be coming to an end shortly. I may be looking at options of refurbishing a pump if all else fails. I have noticed that the pump itself is supported in the swirl pot by an upper and lower gasket/rubber. I can't seem to find these pitured anywhere. Does anyone know if these are still avaiable or is there a suitable substitute?
