  1. Stunning Daren. Those brakes look brand new. Good luck at Stanford.

     

    Be good to have a catch up if sometime and also have a look over the corrado

     

    Thanks Chris, would indeed be good :)

     

    Bit more tinkering with the car recently, have been treating the leather with a few applications of Gliptone and pretty happy with the results , a definite improvement

    Some fresh coats of wax and general cleaning for up coming outings :)

  2. Any pics from its modified state? Would be an interesting comparison..

     

    I remember it having the BBS wheels fitted along with a colour coded front grille and slightly garish silver headlamp surrounds, don't remember many other differences.

    I'm sure I have pics of it somewhere, will try and find them

    At £13950 asking now it looks a fairly reasonable buy, given the mileage, the VSR and the spares that go with it

    Always liked silver rado's


  3. Looking good harrier... your strut caps are nicer than mine can't remember what mine are off, but mine look like plastic cereal bowls, :)

     

    I reckon you were scored down on wrong colour screen wash... I always use the blue stuff, hate the yellow stuff unless it's a nugget rado :)

     

    Well done chap it looks stunning.

     

    My strut caps are actually from a Mk4 golf delfinis !

    Thanks for the compliment

     

    Well after a long winter locked away I decided to pull the Corrado out of the garage this week and address some little issues that needed sorting

    Picked up some new stickers from eBay and put them on

    That was easy :)

     

    Also the brake discs were developing a bit of surface corrosion around the outer edges and centres so stripped them off , cleared off the corrosion and painted them in silver

    Pleased with the results

    Look much better

    Also gave the suspension and underside a general going over and clean up

    Going to have a go at sprucing up the leather too

    Bought some gliptone products

    Hoping for some good results with it but will see :)

  4. Thanks harrier.. how long does the blue velvet or blue velvet pro last... im torn between this product and the dodo juice supernatural hybrid which is a general wax and sealer for general cars last 4 - 6 months... im not into to waxing a car too often...

     

    Do you use the lime primer before or put the wax on top of the polished surface.

     

    Haven’t tried the lime primer

    The wax’s longevity i imagine is really dependant on how much use the car gets, how often it’s washed and if the car lives outside, therefore you will be fine with whatever you choose I’m sure


  5. What’s everyone’s opinion on polishes and waxes ?, are they really all they are cracked up to be ?. What I’m trying to get at , is in my day turtle wax was king , then along came Mer etc . Christ I remember using Mer on my MK 1 Zodiac

    I have always found Meguiars products to give good results and good value, though my favourite product lately is Auto Finnesse Glisten, addicted to it !
