HI Would be after all the exhaust mountings(I think three). As long as they are the later type and in good condition I will have them off you. Please PM me some pictures and price including postage to south wales. Thanks Steve

Hi and thanks for replies. I can't understand how or even why the fitter had damaged the paintwork. Or even why on a push in seal did he attempt to bond it in? He must have known that he had botched it and basically tried to fob me off and cover his tracks. The most annoying point of it is that I remember him saying he was a perfectionist, and not to worry as it'll be done right! Can't really rant on too much about it at moment. Awaiting a phone call from the area manager, to arrange a date(this week me hopes) to have the car in and put it right. Needless to say I will be thoroughly inspecting the car before I bring it home, even to the extent of asking them to remove the push in seal to inspect the paintwork. Will keep you all posted.

Hi All Thought I'd post this up as a warning to other corrado users. With the dreaded MOT looming I thought I'd get my windscreen fixed/replaced due to a big stone chip in the drivers view. Anyway contacted my insurance company and they promptly passed my details to a very well known auto windscreen company. They contacted me and made me feel that I was they're number 1 priority. The fitter came out to repair my windscreen and informed me that the damage was too much to repair and said that a new screen was the only viable option(I had talked to them beforehand and they brought a replacement screen and rubber kit). Once the outer seal was removed he found light surface rust and informed me of his companies' policy(no warranty) and advised me to have the windscreen area cleaned and repainted(once screen removed). So I booked the car into my local paintshop and arranged for the windscreen company to remove the screen. This is what it looked like after screen removed and area treated and painted. When I picked the car up the day after it was fitted(when screen fitted have to not drive car for at least 3 hours) I was informed by the paintshop tech that the windscreen fitter worked late on the screen and was 'faffing about' with the push in seal. On first glance it looked a good job but on closer inspection it didn't look right. So called up the windscreen company and they created a warranty claim and arranged to send another fitter out to check their work. The other fitter came today and removed the 'bonded in' with sealant(push in seal). And this is what he found. Advised by 2nd fitter that paintwork had been damaged by first fitter on fitting of screen, and also of an incorrectly fitted screen. He told me that he had informed his manager of the situation, and for me to expect a phone call from him tomorrow. He also said that the warranty work would probably be carried out at their local depot. So as a warning to all Corrado drivers If this was left it could have spelt the end of the road for my corrado. Always check other people's work and no matter how trivial, if you are not happy, call them back and get them to put it right. Steve

Still after these. Think I had a pm of someone but sorry I didn't/couldn't respond. Had other issues with windscreen.

Don't feel too dispondent. Lovely part of the uk you live in, Woolacombe beach is one of my favourites and it looks like it's your local! It's a 3 hour drive for me.

Hi and welcome. All corrados' suffer from rust in the following areas. Sill area especially the returns to front and rear wheel arches. Rear drivers' wheel arch look up under fuel flap area where locking rod comes from inside car. And also check the mounting area for the fuel tank neck, these tend to be a dirt trap that ultimately leads to rust. Front valance behind bumper. These tend to rust. Check also for water leaks from front windscreen. Check both front suspension turrets should have a VW stamped on them and also check the rear tyre well. Original vw sticker always a good sign. Driving issues with a g60 they do tend to run a bit hot, check cooling fan kicks in. Check for history on super charger overhaul. And check for service history. Also check the bottom crank pulley bolt. This is well documented as there is a lot of strain on this pulley. There is also a boost check facility built into the MFA system. You need to follow a procedure to enable it. Hope this helps. Steve

Car looks very nice. BBS RX's suit the Corrado perfectly imo.

Just added me to list

Sorry this has been sold to richardls. Thanks Steve

New pictures Bump

I'm going the other way. I actually prefer the look of side strips and hope they give the doors some protection form car park bangers!

Looks good. Did you sort out your water leak after?

My old Corrado G60. In light grey metallic sold in 2004

Thanks Goldie

Hi All I have a silver G60 that's work in progress(ain't they all)? Needs better looking wheels and side mouldings refitted along with.................(a very long wish list).

Hi Si Two wiper linkage arms arrived today safe and well. Many thanks for sorting this out Steve

Hi All Bought these Corrado 16v dash clocks as part of a parts bundle. They are in full working order(had them in my car for 2 weeks). Rear spoiler control up and down automatically, all gauges work as they should. They have white needles and currently showing 160K approx. I believe they are the crossover clocks with a digital speedo (160mph) and 15 gallon fuel tank. The MFA Vac unit on back of clocks has been glued but still works ok. Want £35 for them plus postage or local pick up ok. Will post up some pictures Thanks Steve

Yep that's the wheels. I'm not too fussed on that colour either(think it's porsche racing colour). Would prefer silver or nice metallic grey. Thanks for reply Steve

Hi That's just it I have measured the old double sided tape that is still on there and it comes in at 17mm? Can't seem to find any 17mm double sided tape for this purpose. Nearest i can find is 15mm. Should be ok, but would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and if they used 15mm tape. Steve

Hi All Looking to refit the black body bump trims on side of my corrado. Even though the shaved look is nice, i'm fed up of having to touch up bump marks along both sides of my ride. Anyway has anyone done this before? And can recommend what tape make, and dimensions (width thickness etc) to use. I know I'm going to need approx 15ft of tape(measured trims) Thanks Steve

Hi Have sent you a PM. Thanks Steve

Hi all Looking for a set of these in any condition but would prefer good useable. I know they are a rare set of wheels but they really suit the raddo. Thanks Steve

HI Are these stil for sale? If so what condition are the tyres in and will you accept £120 for them? Can pick up next saturday 8th March. Sorry can't pick up sooner car is in bodyshop having windscreen done! Thanks Steve

HI All Will take £170 for the lot. This includes the front decat section(Jetex).

HI Sorry to hear of another raddo being taken off the road. Is the Magnex exhaust a full stainless system, downpipe or cat back? What is the size of the tailpipe? Also is it the bar or hook type hanger system? If it is the bar type will you include the hangers(x3) as well? Thanks Steve Forgot to add could you PM me some pictures?
