  1. Paid you chap . Thanks again .
  2. Sticking to my guns on this one mate as with the discount I get off heritage and free postage basically the same price and there's is new from the shop with labels and guarantee. Cheers.
  3. Hi John . Immediate payment £35.00 inc postage for the V belt cover ?? Would of emailed you chap but not sure the email is working. Thanks
  4. I had both mine cracked on the top, I think it's when people try and remove the door card that dont know what they are doing and snap them. I can confirm I got hold of a set but took me ages to source a new pair, these are going to be a right bugger in the future to get hold of and make your interior look a bit scruffy, I do believe vintage rubber sell them In the USA but hard to imagine they are any good. Also very expensive.
  5. They can be used as daily but it has come to a time where really it is best to preserve the cars im my opinion. The salt on the roads in the winter just eat the cars alive and rot the wings and and rear arches and suddenly you are looking at a 2-3k body shop bill. Im getting mine to mint then preserving her and use on weekends and in good weather conditions. She lives outside which I don't like but I give her a wash and wax every couple of weeks and have no trees over my drive. Its up to you buddy what ever rocks your boat really.

    Nice little gizmo

    Was fed up of having a fire extinguisher in my dashboard and a 10mm spanner in my door card. So thought wouldn't it be great to have a little tool bag in the boot. This arrived today, I can honestly say it is great quality and now lives in my boot permanently and looks the business. Really well made may I add, I offered £13.00 and the seller took it. Feel guilty now as they are hand made and only £20.00 buy it now. The seller only has 52 sells recorded on ebay. I've got a few tools in there and the extinguisher, but there is room for the jack and spanner to. It also has a velcro strip on the bottom but comes with a tape on that so its your choice . Looks even better in the skin and made of an OE looking carpet materiel that looks OE. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-embroidered-car-Boot-Storage-Bag-Organiser-Tools-Breakdown-Travel-Tidy-Case/333311848092?hash=item4d9aef2e9c:g:e9kAAOSwq05daMdk I would take a pic of it in the skin but can't post, seriously guys its mint and cost sod all.

    Nice gauges

    Arh the oil gauge that shows you how low your oil is going when you have ovulated cylinders ha ! Can see its for pressure, they look great and very useful ! Here is an interesting site. If you can work your way round it. It is the VDO electronic catalogue. Link below is the parts they still make or have available for the Rado. Even has a traffic light code system , red obsolete, amber to be discontinued be still in stock , green good to go ! Can be a hard site to navigate but has some amazing gauges and also parts like fuel pumps and sensors, solenoids etc. Miss out the middle man VW. VDO is based in Birmingham in the UK and you can order the parts direct with them and they will ship within two days from Germany. 1)Click on this button on the top right button that says Einstellungen 2) select where is say Deutsch and select Englisch (GB) 3) Than press the button to the right Speichern und Schließen You can now enter your details in English. http://ows-cdn.tecdoc.net/vdo/home.jsp#58626f900704e7647b08a66209e98865 Sales Enquiries: 0121 326 1234 No shipping fees from Germany and you do not need a trade account.
  8. By using the parts you could ensure membership fees by luring members who are desperate , you could snag users worldwide and also from different vag brands as they share some of the obsolete parts, otherwise people can just post on FB "anyone know how to do this or get this from". You approach a manufacturer agreement only sell to us.Market it as in house obsolete parts only open to paid members. I'm afraid I expect this forum will not be here this time next year if something dynamic is not done, just like the Mustang forum UK I use to be on, people just use facebook now and the forum closed down earlier this year. For now one step at a time get the pictures sorted on here as a priority.
  9. To gain an influence over Corrado owners you need obsolete parts . Can you not get a list together of 20 parts that can realistically get manufactured, you have to have a live membership to obtain them and have a shop on the forum for members only. This would take a lot of work but would kill two birds with one stone .Just trying to think out of the box. More revenue , more members and parts available that make ownership a little more bearable . There is no way I’m going to join Facebook with posts , look at my cup with a Corrado on it my neighbour gave it me , yawn yawn.
  10. Got to be honest have not even been to have a meeting , I saw a website where you can download plastic 3d parts for the Corrado and can print them straight off a 3d printer. I posted it on here on one of the threads about 3d parts.This site has things like the fuse trim clips and many other obsolete parts. Also there is a firm that has popped up called Dreadnought customs based in the UK , he is making the bonnet soundproofing all ready for the corrado and hard to find parts for Scirocco, I recommend posting any plastic parts to them for recreation as the prices are fair and he seems a hungry new business. He has all ready made things like door scrapers, seals and plastic trims for the Scirocco Mk2 , he seems very competent with a OE quality to his parts . https://dreadnoughtcustoms.co.uk/ I've purchased a Mk Golf 16V so busy sourcing all the new parts for that in my spare car time at the moment as the Corrado is pretty much sorted apart from the body work. Thankfully the site is allowing me to paste a link now but unfortunately It's not allowing me to post pictures,saying not recognising file, was fine before the site had a meltdown but it's still not fully functional so I don't come on here as often.
  11. that does sound premature failure , only working on speed four seems to always be the resistor, I take it there was no signs of water ingress?
  12. Any idea of price for front turn signals . Thanks
  13. Site is still not allowing links or photos to be attached. Thank You
  14. I would say the same designer was responsible for the Golf MK1 steering wheel as it has the same styling que's Tries to post a picture of it but not letting me post pictures on this forum, so seems the site is still not yet fully functional.
  15. Sebrings are so cool a shame they are only 4 stud. also like the steering wheel that was sebring style .
  16. You wont regret it they are a great buy for a Rado IMO and a good price. These are great to if you can get a set. BBS RX226 16" 5x100
  17. Hi Cres, I know these fit the standard brakes as I have the exact alloys on mine and they are a direct fit , they are very tight to the callipers but never had any incident with them and they sit perfectly on the car with a stock looking stance . I read up on it and others said that had the RS771 (mk4 splits Jubilee) are close but never had any issues and had them on the cars for years. Hope this helps.
  18. Best of luck with this Geri good on you for your patience . I was wondering chap do you have a ECU rain scuttle trim for a mk2 golf chap in good nick for sale ? Also after a passenger side speaker parcel shelf fully intact in black . Anything you need for your Rado ? Cheers .
  19. Can someone post on facebook to inform one of the moderators on there about the site not working?

    Put in VW golf corrado aerial antenna mast genuine OE into ebay search. cost is£14.95 + postage Worth going for an original Hirschmann which will be stated in the item description on ebay. The forum wont allow me to post the link mate as it's still not working. Had an aftermarket on mine and the Hirschman made the signal perfect on all frequencies don't bother with cheaper copies.
