Good stuff mate. If you get stuck I can give you a link for 2 new Recaro seat looms ready to go.

Think some of the parts your after are obsolete. There is VW international as well. Agreed I only buy OE parts from heritage as their aftermarket products seem to be all Crapran (Topran) and JP. Much better if obsolete if you can get Bosch- Lemforder or perhaps Febi, although I do think Febi lives a little off its association to Bilstein and probably not great either. . Murrays Direct on Ebay has some quality parts at a fair price, I use them when they have it in stock and they also supply a very good delivery service.

Handbrake trims look not so luxury coupe on a Corrado and very plastic and also getting a hard to find part I have heard MK4 golf leather handbrake trims fit like a glove so purchased one of these in good used condition for a tenner inc postage to test fit. Part number 1J0711461A

I know heritage is still open. Well was yesterday they have a skeleton crew in the warehouse and the sales people are getting calls directed to their homes.

Thanks that does look a handy channel, plenty of content as well .

Hi, Due too many been stuck at home due to this horrific virus, boredom is sure to set in. Can folks leave a good link to a good programme/ boxset/ netflix or youtube channel. Does not have to be car related. I'll start it off. Great channel on youtube- pretty much a genesis working on classix exotic classics. .

Thanks Fla hope all is well mate. Ok spoke to Vince on Monday about the spark plugs and he hates NGK spark plugs as he said he has had over 70 cars in his garage for misfiring and the diagnosis was a premature failed NGK plug so he only uses Bosch. If you watch the campaign model on the car guys review on youtube the Rado rattles more then the Talbot sunbeam stripped out ha !

Thanks mate much appreciated. One thing I find bizarre is even though the Corrado is built better then the golf it don't half rattle in the interior cabin of a Rado, all the videos that I see of them you can hear the cabin rattling- the interior 100 percent in a Mk2 golf is less ratley .

Thanks chap the thought of going through the renovations again turns my stomach, the first day I got the golf back from the body shop no kidding a 60 something lady nearly rear ended me, she was not paying attention and I could see her in my mirror, literally brakes screeching and a foot away, the next turning I pulled over because I did not trust her driving and gave her the look of utter disgrace and a lack of respect. Is the Mk2 golf giving any previous owners an itch to getting in to one again ?

Ok not corrado related but thought I would post some pictures of the dreaded taking off the bumpers, arch trims and sills off a MK2 golf GTI 30 years old. The car was in very good condition bar a couple of cracked arch trims and a scab on the tailgate next to the rear wiper jet. Also had a crack where the door hinge meets the door and a scab which I was aware of. The pictures will explain better than words what they found. There was one unexpected bow in the sill after they took a sill trim off and was an expected large kerb collision in a multistory car park grrrr. After the car paint had cured stone chap and underseal to the whole underside including the external arches which are covered buy the plastic arch trims. I highly recommend the body shop . He himself has owned a MK2 golf for 20 years and a present has a road going race track Mk2 golf with a VR pumping out 400 + BHP with forged Internals. His right hand man has a Blackberry Corrado VR with a supercharger and is actually a member on here. It's nice to take it somewhere that know how the trims come off the car and glass . Limits cracked trims etc and also they ordered additional parts I missed out like sill decals which I appreciated as most would not bother. If anyone wants the contact details of the shop PM me as I have not asked his permission to post his details. Job took 80 hours labour. They supplied me over 50 photos without me asking of work in progress. Car has already been to stealth for head gasket, full geomaterics, fuel lines, sensors and a host of other things.

I not long took all my bumpers off and and arch trims and sills , It was hiding a multitude of sins but thankfully all sorted now and got the new bumper brackets and the Irons powder coated and a big bill from the body shop0 cant thank them enough for a great job. I will post some pics up on my thread black magic as not to clog up your thread. Cars looking mint Saturn silver is up there as one of my favorite colours for a Rado and really suite the Nothelle alloys. . Excellent car on every basis.

Update. Hi Buddy. As you can imagine the auction was a balls up with everything going on. Bonhams did a press release on the Saturday to say it was cancelled then changed to online sealed bids etc.... So in the end we had a couple of stupid offers and I think on the whole most people were put off or (understandably) distracted elsewhere. So she still remains for sale. Privately at the moment. So we shall see. I therefore still remain the owner of one of the rarest VWs on the planet! 😉

Would be nice to know A . Did it sell ? B. How much ? Could be some right bargains out there soon - wouldn't be surprised if you can get into a 964 2 shortly for 30K.

PM sent.

I'm always mooching on the classifieds, If see a good one ill let you know pronto .

Sorry mate just looked on facebook marketplace and the sod has gone, was the complete engine trim set but was asking a £100- figured its a buyers market at the moment and you could of knocked the price down.

By the way Shaun are you still after an engine cover. email me as I saw one the other day for sale, ill drop you the link .

Fairplay to the staff on the frontline .

If members of the public have an underlying condition then 100 percent agree isolate, but if people have been put in a sector that is in the carry on working then it is vitally important to keep 2 meters away. I have been starting to do the shopping for some of my neighbours, one has a son with Cancer and the the other has had a kidney transplant, any little thing to help others if you are in a position to wil be a massive help and gives you as a positive feeling inside in these damn god horrific times.

Tradesmen and construction workers are allowed to continue work as long as they stay 2 meters apart, infrastructure still needs to stay in place Although I have had several large clients cancel orders and also I have heard building merchants have started to close their doors. Quicker they bring this immune kit in the better as I think some folks are hoping that they can be on a 80 percent bailout from the government for the rest of the year but not sure how long this can go on for. If not working maybe some voluntary work would be helpful for the country.

It's not full lockdown yet mate - but will be in a week or two, Your still allowed to go to work as long as you can keep a distance of 2 meters . I'm just tying a few loose ends dropping all my scaffolds as some are temporary roofs and don't want them staying up incase we have a crazy storm. We will work 2 meters apart and have to restrict our work area from the public but this falls under normal circumstances on our RAMS. What I heard tonight was very concerning . 24 doctors had died in Spain- very alarming.

Also could be speedline corse powder coated. The 7.5 J width I think will determine its a Vento cup alloy . https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/speedline-corse-2110-challenge-alloy-wheels-in-white-set-of-4-2000798/
