BUT, if i cant the chance, i want to swap the interior seats, get the alloys resprayed or even changed. Most of all, i want to get the car resprayed but that wont be for a while yet :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gti gadge 0 Posted December 18, 2011 Refit passenger seat thats been out for months due to back lol..... Cables on heater controls and getting all 4 speeds back on the heater which was fine all summer and died for winter (can I get a whole new 4 speed unit from anywhere?). Fit vibratech front mount and possibly fit the U-bend and FMIC thats sitting in the garage along with the replacement front callipers. Biggest annoyance for me is the front bumper has hung off since I've owned it and I have two sitting to go on (std and flushed plate) so want that as a priority really. As it will need paint freshened up on the bumper do I get the rear arches rolled at the same time and fit the 8 and 9" RC's instead of the 7.5's?? Also some stone chips on the front need attention. To be fair to the car it has been my daily all year and needs only minor attention and has been a bloody joy to own and drive. Ooops, oil change is a must.

24V Renshaw 0 Posted December 18, 2011 Strange way to advertise it, but Corrados are definitely a love hate thing. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 18, 2011 Got a black leather interior lined up to go into the car in January hopefully, and then thinking about some paintwork. Have to say though "life" and other interests have really meant the Corrado has taken a back seat for the last few months, especially now I have another car.. hoping the VR doesn't end up going the way of the 16V and just getting sold!

24V Renshaw 0 Posted December 18, 2011 Wish I knew what 2012 will hold for the rado. I do know it will be driven to work everyday and it will be gradually sorted, but to what extent..... Who knows. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
