Hmm jst over £405! Seems to cheap to be true but always wanted one for looks and performance, corrado bonnets are so heavy!

nah sorry getn anoying now! dont know how many times ive pm'd him asking for a price so i can get a cheque sent off to him and he just says that he has the part but doesnt put a price up!

The cables from the heater control panel are like stretched or worn, when you use the dials it wont shut or open vents or the flap for cold/hot air, got down to check and used a screwdriver to manually move them.

now managed to get replacement dials from a passat and ive read in the knowledge base how to tweak them but will i have to get replacement cables?or is it just worn dials?

Hope i dont have to put new cables cos they look a right b@stard to fit! looks like you have to take dash out again! :x :roll:

well im 20 and i get insurance free!

Im not a daddys little boy but hes had an insurance policy with his own buisness for around 20 years with the same brokers, whos basically his friend!

So when i was 17 with an 8V gti, the car was just chucked on along with the lorrys n vans we had!

it hardly moved,but excess was more than the car, now 20 with the vr its near enough the same story, excess of £750 and third party.

There disgusting! Thy wont sit anything! except for the bottom of a large bucket!

Check out the corrado gallery?

Yeah my £7 heat guns been really good, but as i say tried everything with mole crips!

The only heat ive got is from aheat gun :oops:

But ive got a chiesel so ill have to just chiesel it off!

Great fun! :?

thanks for the input mate!

Already tried this! many a times! lost count,if i snap it off,will i be able to drill it out and attach another bolt and nut?

Any1?

Ok everythins goin fine until i get to the bulkhead to take the actual heater matrix off, taken the two pipes off,then the 1st 10mm bolt at the top then i went onto the 2nd 10mm bolt (by the brake line) and the b@stard bolt just spins with the thread,so I can get it off.

Tried soaking it in wd40,had all types of vice grips,molegrips on it but the they just slide off the thread!

Its really p!ssing me off cos everythings went smoothly until this stupid bolt!

Any ideas? is snapping it off a good idea if all else fails? And is there just this bolt left? any others to take off around the bulk head?!

Cheers!

Wouldnt say mad,just a bit keen! :lol:

Lee is this car your daily driver? I know you buy the parts then chrome them then put them on the car, but you use this every day eh?

Cos you ever though about buying a winter hack cos of all the salt n sh!t on the roads?

Sorry if sum1s alrady asked you this,just 50 odd pages is alot to read!

But top effort, you prob have the most famous corrado if not Vw in Britian at the mo and it goes to show with the effort you put in!

I'm just dreading the day that we see the first pics on the net of some rich ****** who stacked his Veyron.

Prob be beckham! :lol:

Seriously a car like that aint good for the public road as JC said! hope owners get a driving course like tvr do!

1001 bhp bugatti!

 

this is a common mistake

 

its 1001 ps, so not so many bhp

 

But like all VW's it was dynoed at 40 degrees C so on a cool day it will be higher.

 

erm yeah i was wrong cos its more than 1001 bhp or ps, read the article on evo and apparently is got sumthing like 1040 or 1050 bhp,but because VW boss said he would make a supercar capable of 1001 bhp they just kept with it!

Yeah done mine black, and i have a bottle of the yellow stuff,just wondering if that was the method!

very tempted!

I think the US are leading the way right now, especially the way PVW are raving on about the mad shows they have!

Always wondered how a proper 2 tone would look on a raddo, this 1 looks stunning!Carbon Bonnet...... 8)

Also think this will be big next year!

Ok does any1 know how to achieve this? Its like the reflection part from the high beam has been painted yellow?

Looks so cool!

Aye its away!

Top pic is sooo cool!

Good pics!

White spirit or turps?

You really need a strong paint remover that the bodyshops use,my mate managed to nick sum for me and its really good, dont know where you could buy it tho?

or punt them on ebay for £50 and buy stamdard ones for £30 and you'l have £20 beer money! lol

I got one from Tempest ages ago but left it in the box til yesterday when the bodyshop painted and fitted it for me. This is from the day I got it 8) just balanced on the back :lol: and the car needs a wash :oops:
