science 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket / OEM part for the Corrado gear gaiter surround? Would one from a Mk3, Mk4 or Passat Fit? I've just fitted a Mk4 Handbrake and want to continue the look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

science 0 Posted July 22, 2011 daves16v, that is very nice! I'm almost feel inspired to try and make my own now. It's a shame there's nothing available of the shelf for the corrado, and I can't see that one from a golf of passat will fit? Meanwhile I'm trying to decide between one of these. http://www.innovativcar-tech.de/index.php?cat=c62_Corrado.html or http://forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=260501&product=FMBK now, if only the forge knob could be illuminated, hmmmm.

dragon green 4 Posted July 22, 2011 That's my own version ! After finding a few pics of your old GB of them,I had a go myself ! What you can't see is some turned aluminium handles on the seat "slider" handles ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon green 4 Posted July 22, 2011 I made the first one in stainless, but it was too heavy for the springs, so I turned a couple down in ali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
science 0 Posted July 23, 2011 Not quite true, I've made a few for people on here. I don't suspose you have any left on said shelf? Or could possibly consider making one for the right amount? They are much nicer than any I could make. Also loving those seat adjusters! Especially as I have none. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted July 29, 2011 At the moment I only do the mirror polished version but I'm going to make a satin finish (very fine grain front to back) if you prefer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted July 29, 2011 I'd be very interested in a satin finish surround Dave. Keep us posted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted August 9, 2011 As promised, see pics for the satin finished surround. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laser Mark 0 Posted August 9, 2011 That's turned out really nice Dave. Is that the 2B side grained up, or is that the one which was done the wrong way round? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
