Have been thinking about getting one, definitely seems like it could be a good investment

Yes he was on his own and I didnt see any video equipment in the car nor was I offered to see any, the only camera I saw was on his uniform which I guess was in case I assaulted him :) and I did wait till the bike was clear Thanks for the replies, fingers crossed

So, driving at 10 last night on my way to pick my son up, the car in front was driving between 20 and 30mph, after 3-4 miles I had had enough, so at a convenient spot I passed him and continued my journey at 30mph. Before I went passed I made sure the cyclist coming the other way was well clear, there was no cars coming in the opposite direction, there were no cars in front, no pedestrians or cyclists, no turnings for cars to pull out from, the road was well lit, no solid white line, there was a grave yard to the right and a grass verge then a small lane before some houses set back from the lane. I had even considered the roundabout at the end of the road and that I could get passed the car, pull in and brake for the roundabout without causing any inconvenience to the other driver. The only other car on the road was a pair of headlights in the distance behind me which turned out to be a police car. So a short distance after I had gone round the round about a car flys up behind me and sits close to my bumper, my first thought was it was the guy I had passed wanted to challenge my Golf R but I stuck to the limit, at the next set of lights I could see the POLICE on the bonnet. Shortly after he pulled me. After explaining that he had pulled me for overtaking he said 'your only saving grace was you continued at the correct speed' at which point I thought I'd got away with it. He then um'd and er'd and said he wasnt sure what to do about it, then said if the car I passed and which he also passed made a complaint and he had not done anything it would not look good so he gave me a ticket for 'driving without reasonable consideration for others' Personally, I dont see what I did as un reasonable or would cause the other driver to complain, but for him to catch me in the time he did he must of flown passed to other car with no blues and twos and must have cut him up on the roundabout which he may complain about. The ticket has no explanation for the reason he pulled me other than a code RT88376 and wording 'Drive without reasonable consideration for others' so how would a court or the person assessing if I will get a driving coarse, fine or court hearing know what the circumstances are, the car was basic focus panda, not a traffic car and he did not offer to show me any recording of what I had done (although I did not ask either). He also explained that they may decide not to do anything and the ticket could get thrown out. So do you think I need to worry, he is basically doing me for careless driving which is could entail a hefty fine and up to 9 points Is there some new law that says you are no longer allowed to overtake a slow moving vehicle?

Did they ever do a poverty spec interior for the corrado? Been removing the coverings from my grey interior and found the black plastic underneath is textured as if it could be used without the covers I've not seen any with just this plastic interior

Looks great

Sounds like they are not plug and play or maybe the earth is a bit dodgy LEDs need a driver circuit otherwise they burn out over time and get dim, had a quick google and this explains a little https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/164078/why-is-pwm-used-to-control-leds-even-when-theyre-only-used-on-or-off

How have you wired them ? Not sure what your lights have come with but in an ideal world, LEDs should be run of a switched power supply at high frequency (PWM) otherwise they will dim with use

Just googled that exige, thats a nice little project and sounded great on throttle when driving

Stunning, I'm sure you will regret selling ;)

Looks like an update for the old Becker traffic pro which was expensive but good and would look right in an old dash I quite like this one aswell ;)

Great, sounds like I can use what I have with the air ducts :) Thanks guys

I have a pair of late wings but the arch liners I have are for the original early wings. Is there a difference between the early and late liners? I have looked on ETCA and there seems to be the same for a 16v and VR for the right and some discontinued/replaced numbers for the left Listed for 89 model year Listed for 95 model year The liners I have do not seem to fit but as ETKA says otherwise can anyone confirm either way ? Thanks

I've been using the UPS option on ebay recently, works well and doesnt cost the earth

What better car to learn on, they are easy to work on (compared to modern cars) and always breaking down :)

Doesn't look OEM, maybe an old alarm fitment

The modified cars will follow, maybe not a quick or high but they will. Look at the ford scene now, so many classics running duratek engines and asking serious money for them Not everyone has the luxury of a cheap daily, my 6R costs a fortune to run daily :):) and when my rado is finally back on the road I have a feeling it will feel slow :(

We all come back to them :) Looks a good place to start

Both pretty much the same engine, it would be more dependent on what ECU you are running 150/180 From memory, only the anni mk4, skoda vrs, Seat leon cupra (not R) and a couple of Audis used the 180 versions all other k03s would have been 150. Get it mapped ;) with a decat exhaust you should see about 225, then you can have some fun.

Sadly I dont think the wife would be impressed :(

Very nice, welcome

Both look great, I'd love a G60 like that

Anyone need a quality headlight switch http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Volkswagen-CORRADO-Headlight-switch535941531F-/232431987700?epid=1817007709&hash=item361e06abf4:g:v4cAAOSwfJJZYN6S

My J plate G60. Sold because I'd bought a new car and thought I needed the money, turns out I didn't so could of kept it. 2 weeks later bought a golf mk1 cab as a weekend toy but regretted it

Good to hear you got it running

Seen these but would need some mods http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK3-VR6-Vento-Black-Sun-Visors-With-Lights-US-Spec-roof-grab-handles-MK4/182663749331?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D45398%26meid%3D651d5ee982234542b4a94c61b7f229ef%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D122613269031
