Your very welcome mate, glad we could help with the vagcom. Hopefully will not be too heavy on the wallet to buy. yes it was good to meet everyone today. :thumbleft:

PM'ed see you there.

Spiderfish abd redborbet, Yes should not be a problem, its my son's, but he will be at the show also so he will be able to check your fault/s. no worries see you there.

Welcome to pleasure dome :thumbleft:

That was a really bad day Jim, i bet you were gutted :pukeright:

Did some tinkering under the bonnet. Hmm what can i do with this i wounder? Put mug of tea (Yorkshire) on the top of the battery. Tinkering over, thought thats looks ok,nice job. Closed bonnet down hmm whats up with this then? only one catch has clicked into position. re-opened bonnet and slammed it shut this time. B******S whats that crease? Opened up and the mug was still in one piece. (quality mug) Nice mug inprint on engine foam. My lad turned round and said to me what a D**K dad, and calmly walked off. :suprised: Started car on drive to warm up before going out, shut drivers door. Run for about 10 mins, went to get in and drive off,car had locked its self not playing ball. No spare key (that will teach you not getting a spare cut). Raided wardrobe for metal coat hanger, not one in sight, (blammed the Mrs after).20 mins on found thick copper wire fiddling around like a T**T at a christening. No good me as a car thief. 45 mins on, fan screaming its pipps off. Gas man visited next door, whats up pal. keys in car running cant get in. (plonker he thought). Here give us a go bosh there you go 2 mins to get in. Is this part of your gas training? Cheers mate off he went. I do want to say i do NOW have a spare key and it now goes with me every time i go out.

Found these on a quick flea bay search....(not mine) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vw-Corrado-Front-50Mm-Splitter-And-Bumper-Vr6-Late-Type-Rare-/121320165297?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c3f3ecfb1 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-COMPLETE-FRONT-SPLITTER-50MM-THICK-VR6-16V-8V-G60-/261449351089?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cdf987fb1

Cheers Fla, I'm afraid i was that busy, i forgot to take some pics of the calipers. :bonk: They come up ok 100% better now.

Painted mine for now go to this post for a look. Page 464 http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=14207&page=464

No worries

Had my wheels off today and the rear shocks fitted are painted red. These will not be standard fitting i gather? i have only had the car 12 months so this is new to me. looking to but new standard shocks and putting lowering springs on just to bring it down by about 30 to 40 mm. Or just stick with the 4x4 look :shrug:

Painted all four brake calipers and back plates with good old smooth Hammerite, look so much better now, fed up of seeing the rusty calipers through the Speedlines. Sprayed the plastic manifold cover silver for now. Then next week end, will be sprucing up the car for Elsecar Mega Meet. :thumbleft: [ATTACH=CONFIG]78272[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]78273[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]78274[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]78275[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]78276[/ATTACH]

7 days to go to the meet. Hope the weather is as good as this week ends. Anyone defo going from the forum?

My son's got vagcom I'll see what I can sort out

LOL, Was that round brans hatch?

Ok Bruny, cheers for the info, Yes i will be at Elsecar show, car will be on the CCGB stand. :thumbleft:

Hello and a warm welcome :wave: Nice to see a good looking red rado. Like the write up and the specs of the car.

Think i'm going to go with the Hycote vht paint, and a coat of clear to finish it off. Also going back a post or two on the thread, will it be possible to spray on the car?

What a bunch of dud brained gits. Agree with legal proceedings but also Id be letting all those story thirsty tabloyd papers know the whole story. Local news TV ETC ETC, Go for it son !!

Nice one JayJay, i had the same with my car in March passed with a few advisories. Was very happy. If you come to Elsecar will see you there, booked a place on the CCGB club stand. My son is showing his golf also. :thumbleft:

Hello Mr Clumpy. I will post some pics just for you as soon as i can. :D:salute:

So am i correct to think that this order started in January has not been sent and not recieved? i thought i'd missed the boat. So there will be still chance to get a set.

Compounded the paint, got all the winter grime off the paint and treated car to a coat of Kleen Freaks wax.
