    I was gutted when i sold my mint 16V (K plate - facelift) 4 yrs ago as i had her resprayed, wheels polished, two tone leather, lots of pennies spent and i only got £2300 for her 4 yrs ago. Its a bummer when you think how many hours and pounds go into them but its a buyers market. Store it and/or enjoy it - its a minter. Very well done - beautiful. Get some leather in her and it willbe awesome. I had a two tone silver and black leather interior in mine - would suit yours to a tee. See the link..... Unfortunately can't find any good quality pics at the moment.

    Hi all - long time since i've been on here since selling my Rado over 4 yrs ago now!! Just wondering if anyone on here knows of it/owns it. She was a beaut, i lovingly restored her, respray, 2 tone interior, polished Estorils, new lights etc.... Looking back on it i spent an unhealthy amount on it!!

    It was a 2.0L 16V - engine was still strong when i got rid of her.

     

    Link below - looks far better in real life. Sold it to a chap in Didsbury, Manchester, he already had a VR6 so he may be a regular here.....

    £1000 Fully Comp on a 1993 2.0 16V. Quite a few mods, lowered, two tone leathers, polished Estorils, rear diffuser, Reiger grille etc.... I'm 23 with 1 yrs NC through Chris Knott. Got a £5000 Agreed Value though for peace of mind. BUT i rang up about a Strom i was close to buying but couldn't get the cash in time and they said it was only £200 more a year for a Storm! How do they work these things out!! Rob dogs the lot of 'em! :x

    To my knowledge all C's had heated wing mirrors (mine don't work though!) as well as heated washer jets all which work off the rear demister. My heated wing mirror elements have corroded very badly as i've had the glass out to check! Very common problem, i went to see 4 C's before buying mine and not one had working heated wing mirrors! Only 1 had a fully functional sunroof!

    I tried to get that cover but was told point blank that it was a no no for anyone under 25, some companies may do it but you WILL be paying big bucks! Insurance companies love to rip you off and this is a good excuse for them to do just that! :evil:

    If you want a half smoked set i have one for sale. Check out the Parts for Sale section and its under Half Tint rear lights. Or look at the photo of my car on the left for an idea.

    I'm selling them for a lot less than In Pros and FK's and G Master should vouch for the quality of them as he's got a set off me already.

    One set left, going on E-Bay next week so its upto you..........

    The windows are a nightmare. Mine rattle like hell when down, and the drivers side goes down at a funny angle with a nasty clunk! If they are not closed i hate shutting the door as it sounds like my Peugeot of old (sounds like the window is gonna fall out the door) Not a solid VW clunk!

    :oops:

    Is there an easy solution to this, i think its a common problem!

    Cheers guys. You will be shocked to know that the door cards and parcel shelf were .......... vinyl! The bits you sit on were leather but the seat backs were vinyl. You really can't tell even when i had the car open and people felt it. I made sure they used a good quality soft vinyl which matched 100% with the leather. They also did the mat edges, gear gaitor and handbrake gaitor all in for £700!

    Done at Tappers in B'ham just off the Pershore road.

    I must agree. The show was a bit poor, not as good as last years which seemed to be more popular. My motor made its first show outing with new two tone leather which got a few admirers, its was the black 2.0 16V on the stand. Jez's Campaign is always a star of the stand, and Jim's white 16V was looking good too. Must admit that on the whole a pretty dismal show, no stunning Club GTi cars there either. Oh well, roll on the summer!
