robrado974 1 Posted October 8, 2015 Well I have rung the graffics shop . I will take the badges down to him after work tomorrow . They do a brush chrome too . Once I have prices and samples I will start a proper thread and see how it goes from there . Regards Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted October 8, 2015 Well that was a fairly good show on Wheeler Dealers. Shame so many bits did seem to be omitted - like the panel repairs. I also would have liked to have known how you clean all the oil off an engine. Not that I need to know being one of the lucky few who do not have oil problems, but just intrigued. Probably just a degreaser spray, much like the auto glym tar remover I guess As for the Go Kart Track - I would have beaten any 16v round there in my VR, well except Dave Dewson perhaps- unless he started off behind me !!! ha ha ha get in there wendy!! lol As for the Sunroof repair, I know Vince hates doing these, so I have just sent him an email - suggesting he should watch it - as I can't see what the problem is. !!! lol. He will kill me - when I am in there next with my non VW Zed. oooo for anything nice on the Z? The show was really encouraging too on the price front, after my respray, that has got to make mine £9000 only 2 owners and one lady careful lady owner for the last 14 years !!! Anyone ? I would say that's about right & once my VR paint is done I will be getting agreed value insurance for around that figure too .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robrado974 1 Posted October 8, 2015 No worries . I will obviously take all three as I have spares of those . If possible for those wanting chrome Corrado script , I will see if it can be made in one full sticker . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted October 8, 2015 Just a Service and sort of a few issues. My Zed is fairly standard, its a bit of a beast (276 bhp and rear wheel drive) without anything added, so have not felt the need for mods. It does have a K1 exhaust though - which is the business, proper loud. I am having loads of stage photo's on my Corrado done while it is in the body shop, so hopefully there will not be any problems getting an agreed Value for insurance. Surely the Insurers will want someone to verify this though. Who do we go to, someone on the Corrado Club Committee ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 8, 2015 Thing is, if the finish on the vinyls is pretty good, I don't see why I couldn't look back into getting the badge copied / 3D printed just in black plastic, with a chrome or red sticker to go on the front to finish it off? Probably not so good for the concourse type enthusiasts but might be good enough for the other 98% of Corrado owners who just want a badge there that looks very close to the original?

I think the insurers get you to complete some forms, send them lots of pictures & present evidence of cars being sold for around the value, or above, which you wish to insure for & then you come to an agreement which could be good as there have been a few seriously well priced sales recently Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would that be with you sorting the stickers as well Jim , or do you want me to go ahead with them ? . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 8, 2015 You should go ahead with the stickers mate - once we see how they look and if we think they're decent, I could start looking into some cheap reproduction badges to combine with them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fla 9 Posted October 8, 2015 I think many of us would be favourable to that option Jim agreed. Just another thought, what about a chrome finish vw sticker for the rear badge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 8, 2015 I should know by now, having owned Corrado's over the last 14 years or so now but is the face of the rear VW badge flat or does it have curves to it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted October 8, 2015 Funny that , I can't remember either ! . Having just googled it it does looked slightly curved . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 18 Posted October 9, 2015 No surprise there mate, your car looks magic on the TV 8) Cheers! Your sunroof looked pretty good too. Look cracking Chris.. Was it you driving. Cheers!

It's curved - even I know that!
