clumpy1 11 Posted May 8, 2015 Wise words Rob I do like the idea of mint Corrado but it's just not attainable as I want to use it. No disrespect to those who want to keep their car that way but it's not for me though it's easy to get caught up in it all and a sense of one upmanship seems to take over. I'm just enjoying the car for what it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted May 8, 2015 Yep agreed , fair play to the chaps who have done theirs to mint standard . I would always be cleaning after a drive lol , I'm bad enough with the bodywork ! . I will be doing all the powder coating parts though . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clumpy1 11 Posted May 23, 2015 little update I was toying with putting a metal sunroof back in but I liked the Glass roof so after buying Corrado sunroof seals for the metal panel I ended up getting one for the glass roof. Phoned dealer with part no off panel and it turns out to be a polo classic sunroof!! Here it is fitted Went for a drive car feels so much better with new rack fitted. Got back in just before rain If anybody needs a sunroof seal I have 2 for sale £60 posted pm me if you are interested. Thx for looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted May 23, 2015 Nice work James, always nice to get in just before the rain !! Car looks great on the RC's btw :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 11 Posted May 23, 2015 Looking great bud. I've got a feeling I still have the metal sunroof panel for the car in the garage. I have no idea of the condition as it'd be tucked at the back if its there, but if you want it I'll dig it out and post it up. It's the skin only, the mech was [unsurprisingly] knackered. The glass roof came out of a mk2 seat ibiza! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdub 10 Posted May 24, 2015 Looks like a nice fit for the sunroof. So mk2 Ibiza and Polo roofs are the same? James you got a part number there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted May 24, 2015 Polo classic is a rebadged Seat Córdoba, which is an Ibiza with a boot (not a hatch) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted May 24, 2015 Cheers guys. Baz I've got it working perfectly thx for the offer though. I have got a part no Kev are you sure you want it the glass panel is £500 from stealers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdub 10 Posted May 26, 2015 I will take that part number boss. Will look at getting one from a breakers possibly. My mechanism broke last year. Still not got around to fix it. Failing a replacement I will need to source the genuine parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clumpy1 11 Posted May 30, 2015 Thx Rob she will be getting some paint possibly over the winter this year. Couple of things I'm not happy with. The wax I used gave it a really good finish Auto Finesse stuff great to use too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loepan 11 Posted May 30, 2015 what auto finesse wax is it clumps bit of a wax whore myself, just can't seem to find one i like for the corrado (black) currently on p222 its good but not quite cricket, was thinking of petes 53 next, I've yet to resort to the good old poor boys. probably because i don't want to confirm the fact it will be better than all the expensive wax's i have brought!
