dragon green 6 Posted December 6, 2024 Pull handles are the hard to find metal ones, had the trims “plastic chromed”, and finished off with covering the handles in leather,The “chromer” operated two miles from me, sadly he shut up shop and moved away .

Cressa 45 Posted December 7, 2024 Looks great. Are the handles genuine VW ones? I had a mk3 golf 16v years ago and found that VW did chrome ones for the convertible, so swapped them. They do feel better than plastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 6 Posted December 7, 2024 I got them from Germany years ago, it does sound plausible that they could have come from a convertible! I saw some plastic chrome trims on eBay, but never could find wher3 they came from, that’s why I had some chromed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 45 Posted December 24, 2024 I do love the look of leather and how easy it is to clean. I put some in my mk3 16v GTi years ago. Then hated cold mornings and hot days... They do finish a Corrado off nicely, especially when wired in and warm👌 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 45 Posted February 10 That looks a great piece of kit. Does it have a hole in the end to fit the original rubber? Great postage time too 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 45 Posted March 14 Hopefully the insurance process will be smooth. You never know how good they are until this sort of thing happens. Now you've had a few days to get your head round what happened, what are your Corrado plans now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneohtwo 8 Posted March 14 This is extremely sad to see, you've had it so long and all that work gone. Glad you're alright though, the Corrado looked after you. At least it got to the big 300 before it happened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
