Finally these parts are getting fitted- the only things I couldn't buy new was one front bracket and also the front bumper Iron. Had to fabricate a new panel to fit- where I have circled is where they always get a big rust hole as the metal is wafer fin (the section is just spot welded from factory) - front bumper iron and bracket have gone in for powder coating- the rear heatshield and front splitter are new but I got them powder coated last year for extra protection because come out the factory untreated . I could get all new bolts and clips bar the splitter iron bolts however they are available in a weeks time from Heritage 👍 Rear bumper Iron is available from classics - I would buy one if you dont have one spare whislt you can- cant beat factory fresh new parts. £65.00 posted from classics via Heritage. https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/n90433801-bolt-for-front-splitter-fitting-corrado-89-95.html

Will do Bruno I have not seen a Valeo one for sale chap but please post a link if you have seen one. Thanks

There is no scuttle cover over the wiper motor from factory - if your on about the wiper motor cover that is a mod from a Passat you can still buy one new for about £10.00 .

Will the OE radiator slam panel brackets work with Dasis rad looking at the pictures ? Cheers

Also to add you can still get the OE VAG fan switch late type for a VR for £36.00. - got mine delivered from Listers Straford upon Avon who also can supply the vag bolts and washers for the neck and the bottom housing rubber buffer o rings. Part list below (FAN SWICH LATE VR) I will mention it again best vag dealers for parts and leasing- not even my local city we have shitty Johnsons. Chap even calls you up and says have the parts now and will be posting today anything else I can help you with .

Will do Bruno I have checked the bolt fitment for the elbow neck and they are correct so that is a good start. That copper rad sounds awesome- Valeo still make a rad for the Mk2 Golf 16v and its only £32.00 what a bargain.

Yes Hella rads would of been my first choice- they were actually manufactured on behalf of Hella from a German company called AKG - I called them but no one in the office at the time because of Covid- so took the Dasis- I really hope its a good one - manufactured in Germany so fingers crossed. This is the firm that made the Hella rad. https://www.akg-group.com/products/radiators/

Too true.

Thanks but cant fins a box like that - could do with one that opens up and closes around the relays as loom all ready constructed.

Im wondering if this would big big enough to take the relays. https://www.mdnsupplies.co.uk/shop/splashproof-plug-cover.html

These look damn good as well marine ones. All the fuses and relays tucked away in a nice dry place. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Waterproof-Relay-Panel-Marine/dp/B01FWILJQI

Ok thanks.

You got a link chap ? Thanks

Anyone got a link for something suitable ? Thanks

Will do- these with a three relay might work well - in hindsight could of been built into the looms > waterproof relay box. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-Relay-5-Road-Auto-Relay-Holder-Box-Socket-Fuse-Waterproof-Lid-Insurance/184381992607?hash=item2aee05ee9f:g:6VEAAOSwEJlfIvkb

Hmmm mine stays nice and dry my car is parked on a sloped drive maybe that helps also have new water channel buffers opposite side of internal scuttle trim. Also kept in front of battery .

Make a great summer daily thats for sure. My MK2 16V drinks less then my Mk7 gti did absolute fact-

So my car is in the body shop for some winter loving. Bonnet off plus front and rear bumpers spray paint (stone chips) + all new bumpers irons brackets, clips and bolts. To my horror got a call off the body shop and said you need a new radiator. Picture below of these chinesium alloy radiator (it was the only off the shelf option at the time 3 years ago- Im not one to cheap out on parts. ) All these alloy rads look the same but have different branding on the graphics of advert. You can see the frame has failed and bowed at the bottom and also leaking. Im hoping this radiator from German company Dasis which is OE fitment is better then the alloy one. Pictures below - I was thinking about getting an alloy neck fitting but decided to go with a vag one as im sure I have seen mixed reviews on the billet ones ? Let me fit the Dasis radiator and I will give a review of fitment at least. Can get one from Autodoc for £100 or an English seller that delivers next day for £120.00. https://www.dasis.de/en/

Yeah mate some mug could buy that.

Fen the ripoff NOS is 100 percent a Heritage genuine reproduction one you can tell by the label on the packaging- that seller is on moondust. I suppose this time of the year they can catch out family members of Corrado owners buying them Xmas presents for their cars.

I hate seeing this. Can still get these from classics or Heritage new for £65.00 ON ebay for x5 cost off a greedy seller. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-Grill-3-Slat-NOS/254801380636?hash=item3b5358851c:g:iYEAAOSwvi5fzpGI Someone is bidding on these you can still buy them from the dealers for £65.00 - upto £99.00 all ready with 6 days left. Purchased a set last year. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-RHD-GENUINE-4-piece-black-carpet-mat-set-with-emblem-863VAG1418BJ-NOS/174555033334?hash=item28a44a6ef6:g:pWAAAOSwUAdf02W- Picture is just illustration part number is correct. https://store.inchcape.co.uk/collections/volkswagen-floor-mats/products/vw-carpet-mat-set-863vag1418bj

I think your loom might be a later style loom if there is such a thing as the wrapping looks different,

Here is a picture of your Loom .

Im not sure but there is a round earthing circle in front of the drivers seat to the right of the fuse box by the A pillar it is where you earth electric seats from recaro . I cant remember where it goes but I removed that Loom that Matt has . 😬 Easypops is pretty good on seat looms.

I have one of these on my car if you don't want to mount the relays- I just pop them in the bag keeps them nice and dry. Tidy in the bay as well and protects battery tray from leaks of battery and of course protects battery contacts from elements, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Battery-Cover-Frost-Protection-Thermal-Wrap-Battery-Pocket-NEW-45-65-Ah/113928931467?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144
