Stan 24v 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Yep mine is the later type engine cover. I was not a fan of the earlier type. Sorry :) Jay No need to be sorry mate, I prefer the one youve got too, and mine is split so I may have to go on the search for one ;) Know of any?? On another note, how much did you lower the front mount by? Did you lower the rears? My engine has rocked on the front mount and hit the bonnet :shock: Not sure if the front mount is knackered or too high?? Andy is taking it back in to get sorted and iron out a few leccy problems like no oil temp reading or MPG reading on the MFA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 21, 2006 I lowered the front mount by about 1/2", plus its basically solid as otherwise it will "buck" and hit the bonnet. Bear in mind the later type cover gives you much less clearance from the bonnet, that is why I removed that rib from the underside of the bonnet. The rears on mine are just OE new ones.

24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 21, 2006 I thought as I have not been doing much recently on my car. Just enjoying driving it :) I would post up some pics from the photoshoot now that the issue of PVW has been replaced by a couple of months now. Hope you like them.

corradophil 3 Posted February 21, 2006 Looking lovely, one of the best, most complete modded Corrados around. Classic Corrado lines with the creature comforts and refinements of a modern VW. Jay are your wheels lacquered or do you just keep polishing them up? I take it they are on for everyday use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trig 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Dash is the best bit IMO, looks so good. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Cheers all. To answer the question. Yes the wheels are lacquered and are used every day. They have suffered a little over the winter, mainly because of poor wheel fitters marking the rim and the salt getting in under the lacquer, but to be honest its just me being picky. I will probably get them refinished in the summer for Worthersee. :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted February 22, 2006 not picking fault mate, just a genuine question that popped into my head when i saw the PVW feature... whats with the missing plastic cover on the inside of the rear hatch? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 22, 2006 lol. I have been asked so many times about that. Basically I use the boot as a boot, for lugging shopping, diy stuff, car bits, luggage etc around and was not expecting to have to open the boot for the photoshoot. I had lost a couple of the clips for it, so it was lying in the boot and I just didn't realise it was not in. To be honest I am happy if that is the only thing wrong :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted February 22, 2006 fair do's mate! i guess its testiment to the fact its a daily drive and gets 'used' as well it should. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Well currently in the boot I have a Corrado pedal box, a VR6 front subframe, a hoover and a box of cleaning stuff :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 22, 2006 UK's Finest ... I second that. I just don't think there is any other Rado out there i'd rather own to be honest. Well.. ok there are a few (went out in Kevhaywires chariot last night.. good god is that thing fast) but you know what I mean :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blair 0 Posted February 22, 2006 In terms of the overall package, I've not seen a finer one. Just top-notch :-) Although I would definitely like a go in Mr Haywire's car :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Well Jim, whenever you want to get back into Corrado ownership give me a bell :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
