  1. £20,00 each from stealers. Got two of them.
  2. Going call the stealers now and try and beat that price .
  3. Good to hear a good reference - he mentioned the problem with the factory ones is they have no lacquer but thankfully Dual put an additional lacquer on them so should last a long time.
  4. I just looked at the adjuster and a bit fell off the handle ha. My adjusters will no longer adjust as to fragile but are intact enough to to secure the reflector to the headlight. Just wish you could buy them new to finish off the refurbishment ! You don't actually have to touch the adjuster to remove the reflector, just unlip the internal whaite clips. Strangely enough my passenger side was dull as dishwater but drivers not to bad although showing some wear. Dropped them in this morning and will collect in a few days. £125.00 + Vat But I always take a walking stick with me when getting a price face to face - joke ! I imagine easypops has 10 sets of the adjusters under his pillow :shrug:
  5. I'm going to ring up the steelers tomorrow and see how much I can lowball him ha.
  6. Thanks lads I'll be buying another drivers side, I do have a sneaky feeling my links are starting to get old as sometimes the passenger wiper slams the bottom of the plastic window trim, trim with screw in the corner.
  7. Bringing this back alive. Sick of the candles have changed to Osram laser halogens and also have uprated loom, problem is the reflectors have lost there shine. Will get a price off these guys tomorrow. In my home city. http://www.dual-metallising.co.uk/gallery-reflectors/
  8. Ok thanks that may be my problem then. 100 percent sure chap it's two drivers side rubbers chap? I have at present on passenger side the LHS rubber part no 1J2955425B (lupo GTI LHS passenger) Heritage advertise the one for Corrado passenger maybe that is what caught me out. https://www.vwheritage.com/1j2955425b-passenger-side-wiper-blade-19-inch-vw-spare
  9. Thanks mate as you say its all about the ride height of the seat due to the base - but the S specialist looks the way forward IMO.
  10. Hi bringing this back alive. I have some Lupo GTI wipers on my car which are two rhd (drivers side) Part number 6X2955410 C Which is correct. I have a bit of screen been missed in the middle more passenger side by the wipers. I have replaced the blades with VW OE lupo GT blade wipers left and right . Still no joy. Question is are you meant to have two interchangeable RDH (drivers side blades) as I changed mine with left and right. To simplify do I buy two drivers side replacement for both wipers or I was correct buying left and right side? Thank you tried searching on here but could not find the answer.
  11. No worries mate did you get the Golf anniversaries in Canada ?
  12. I have a set of BBS RX2 they are a great alloy and direct fir. I also have BBS RS 771 or known as the anniversary split rim alloy these are easy to get hold of and priced in the £300 mark in the UK. Basically they are a split version of the BBS RX and came on Mk3 and MK4 golf anniversary cars. Both 16 and 6,5 J or 7J 5 stud direct fit. You can see the RS771 on my car black magic http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?109949-Black-magic-returns-home/page6&highlight=black+magic 25 mm lowering springs Tyres 205/45/ R16
  13. Sent these questions to seller. Hi, Do these allow for recaros seats to be installed to a 1995 Corrado over the carpets. Will the seats fit higher in the car? The car seat will tilt backwards and back and forth in the track ? The tracks on top of your frame are these the ones that come on the bottom of Recaro? Any cutting or modifying need doing? These are the seats I would like to fit to my Corrado. Thanks https://www.recaro-automotive.com/en/comfort/recaro-specialist
  14. Thanks have you seen the base I posted mate looks like they will work but not sure, what do you reckon ? Appears you jut put the frame on the original tack and then the recaro seat runners on it , it has an adjust height at the front with different holes for the seat pin . I would ask the Recaro to do the embroidery in black to match factory.
  15. Ive not looked for any yet bet I know there are members on here that have the knowledge to share on here. The sciroccos seat bases are lower. Guys are the MK2 a direct fit I know they sit higher but look what Ive found below on ebay modified ones that are lower Would these be a direct fit. They say fit Corrado . Says best offer so I reckon you could get a pair for £100.00. So with new custom seats and frames looking at around £1600.00 all in https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk1-or-Mk2-Golf-Custom-Seat-Frame-one-frame-only/114059183556?hash=item1a8e7505c4:g:kLkAAOSwT9Nd77DP Another seller read description normally £110 for pair https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk1-mk2-Golf-Seat-Bases-for-recaro-sparco-universal-seats/123917126534?hash=item1cda094b86:g:HfEAAOSwzBJdCHyn
  16. Depends how much you want to spend but for many the most sort after alloy is the BBS RS 5 stud. Think they go for between 2k-3k though ! There are replicas knocking about though.
  17. Agreed small is the one to get. Sure the stock height adjuster is a bit of a pain to be honest I only ever pull by mistake thinking its for back and forth , it literally has the strongest spring in the world ha ! My seats are only luke warm and as you mentioned hardly needed as mine is not a daily. Please may I ask when fitting some stock Corrado recaro to a car. They are a direct fit into the sit runners ? In regards to any looms, mine has a heated seat so has a plug - what do you need to do with a stock recaro seat for all the electrics to work? Also is there a manual tilt release as well on the stock recaro incase the electrics or motor fails ? I've seen people mention Sirocco seat bases are more favourable to use then MK2 golf? To be honest if I purchased the specialist I would probably just go manual. Thank You
  18. Bet there nice though ! You can get the seats in electric as an option, also in the large size you have an extendable seat cushion. From what I can see it does not get a heat option, do the Corrado Recaro have seat heating ? Also no height adjustment. The only problem is the damn bases. Came across this old thread 2014- looks like someone was making them. ??? http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?85461-Modified-bases-for-Recaro-seats-anyone-seen-this
  19. Bloody hell that is the last place I would expect to look for some but the mention of sick is a major no go ha.
  20. If you don't mind mate I'm looking for the CE2 clocks. Many thanks.
  21. How tidy do them grey one look! Holly smackarooney look at the sellers other items good find!. All leather colours and retro designs stunning. These would not match my interior but god they are the bees knees. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-RECARO-MODULAR-LS-LEDER-STOFF-NEU-BEZOGEN-/273810022662?hash=item3fc0596106 P,s if you look about you can get the stock Recaros seats for £700 each , but its the bases that are the problem as not available from what I can see?
  22. It works well chap sticking the new insulation to the old rubber lining, its mad my car smells like a new car now from factory because of the glue. I had to do mine because of the coolant leak but chuffed they are now done. I was quite impressed with the stock insulation , basically 3 layers in the front and two in the back.
  23. Thanks its something I would like to do eventually but it’s all about the fit and the seat base , also need to be at the the correct height sitting in the car . Cool the ultra violet probably the first recaro seats available for the Corrado
  24. Sounds amazing any info on the seats and bases ? Thanks
  25. As we all know the cost of Recaro Corrado seats are rather on the high side and anything from 1500 k upwards. I personally really like the look of them. however with the high second hand costs and the odd set that can come up are 25 years old and can be on the tatty side. So I've been digging about and can see Recaro make a seat custom made in their factory that does appear to look very similar to the stock Corrado Recaro, it's called the specialist and comes in options Small - medium - large Leather in different colours cloth leather bolster with suede Electric seats Driver + Passenger These seats workout out the same price at the lowend valuation of corrado recaros but of course are new handmade from Recaros factory. I was just wondering has anyone fitted the specialist seats to their Corrado. I can't see a recaro specific seat base although they have a huge range for bases. What do folks think of them ? I would go for Black leather to match my interior.
