fitcy 10 Posted September 18, 2012 Hi, thanks to a Corrado Forum member (Portent) I have ordered some Corrado Heat Shield Hood Liners from http://www.classic9leathershop.com/Hood_Liner_Heat_Shields.html I contacted the Heat Shield supplier (Robert Budd), and was quoted a (BULK) Group Buy price for the following... ...One liner with shipping to the UK is $79 ...Quantity 5+ would be $35 for each liner and $8 for each emblem ...Shipping for 5 liners $50 ...Shipping for 10 liners $70 ...Shipping for 15 liners $80 .................................................................. I ordered 15 Heat Shields and 5 Emblems. On the other 'Bonnet insulation' thread only a few members wanted a G60 Shield. So my order consists of... 12X VR6 Heat Shields.........$420.00 3 X G60 Heat Shields.........$105.00 3 X Silver Emblems...........$24.00 2 X Red Emblems..............$16.00 Shipping.....................$80.00 TOTAL........................$645.00 (£409.08 GBP) When the parcel arrives i will pay the TAX, Duty and handling fees and add it to the £409.08. To whoever wants one, i will work out what each item cost me, and give it to you for that price plus postage and Packaging. I only need a VR6 Shield. That leaves... 11X VR6 Shields, 3X G60 Shields and 5X Emblems up for grabs. Please let me (and other members) know what you'd like, if it's a VR6 or G60 shield and if you want to include an Emblem, please state colour. I estimate the cost of each shield delivered to your door would be under £50. If the price is an issue, please be fair to other members and wait until i have the exact price before asking me to reserve a Shield for you. ................................................................................

BELOW IS A COPY AND PASTE OF SOME INFO FROM THE EBAY LISTING.... Compare this hood liner to a factory original or factory replacement. Factory Liner My Liner Will it rot? Yes No Material Latex Foam Vinyl Nitrile Fire Retardant No Yes Sound Insulator Yes Yes Heat Insulator Somewhat Yes Oil resistant No Yes Chemical resistant No Yes Water resistant No Yes Mildew Resistant No Yes Washable No Yes Nifty VW logo No Yes Made of 1/4 inch nitrile vinyl closed cell foam rubber, it will not absorb water or oil. Its light, about 14 ounces, and is also fire retardant and insulates against sound and heat. You can wash it and hose it off. Since it’s made for aircraft firewalls and bulkheads, it’s extremely light and unlike the factory liner will not absorb water and resists mildew. It has a smooth finish and the color is black. Its pre cut to fit all model Corrado VW VR6s with the same design as seen in the photographs. Installation is easy using 3M type #80 or # 90 spray adhesive or other high temp adhesive for vinyl nitrile foam rubber. I've found the decal doesn't travel well when it’s rolled up for shipment if it’s already installed so it will be shipped with the liner, and you can install it yourself. It’s not all that hard and instructions are included. Instructions To install this liner I recommend 3M spray adhesive #80. It’s a high temp contact cement adhesive made for this type of material. Do NOT use general adhesive sprays or sprays designed for carpet. On my own car, 3M # 80 has held up for several years. The hood liner is resistant to water, oils, heat etc, but its not indestructible. If you pull it too hard or gouge it with a tool it will tear. Handle it carefully. It's pre-cut to fit without trimming but if you stretch it don't worry, you can trim it off at the bottom. With the hood on a smooth flat surface and protected from scratches dry fit it to get a feel for the material and see how it lines up. Mask off areas to protect from overspray. Follow the instructions for the adhesive you're using. Spray the hood with adhesive. Cover the area you just sprayed with wax paper. The kind you get at a grocery store. The wax paper should be bigger than the hood liner so you can grab the ends. Spray the hood liner with adhesive. Set the liner into place on top of the wax paper. Line it up and tuck in the sides and corners. When it’s lined, up pull out the wax paper. Press the liner into place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fitcy 10 Posted September 18, 2012 I'll take a VR with no emblem please Vr6 one no emblem for me please. VR6 No emblem for me please. One G60 please . No emblem. Sorry I didn't get around to organising this guys, but thanks to fitcy for going ahead. I really can't afford it right now. But what the hell, I'll have one. 1 x VR6 heat shield, no emblem, please :) Cheers and thanks Portent :thumbleft: Ok guys, thats one G60 and all the VR6 Shields reserved. 2X G60 Shields and 5X Emblems left. The Emblems were a waste of money. But guys, i need to add the cost of them to the final amount (around a quid or so extra per shield), I hope yous understand i did this not to lose money or to gain money either. So, now we have 5 free emblems to members who reserved shields. First 5members gets them. You don't have to put them on your heat shield. You can come home drunk some night and stick them to your neighbours Jap Import :dance: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted September 18, 2012 I don't mind that extra £1. Wouldn't mind an emblem if they don't come on the actual lining. I'll probably superglue it onto my brothers BMW bonnet one drunken night :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First emblems is yours mate, what colour? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
