have you tried lilfuzzer who used to be active on here? i can drop him a message if you would like? he has sorted me out with a wiper motor & drivers wiper linkage this week & is normally well priced (FYI he is my go to person for used parts for corrado's)

Price drop to £2950

they may well rocket in an auction - last set of late ones i saw were over £250 i have some in my VR but had to cut the window switch opening myself as there were for early model i love mine as i put some 6" JL audio in them (or 6.5" i cant remember) - however they do mean you need to open the door fully to get in else you can catch them with your foot easily problem with the factory speaker housing is that you cant put a speaker with a large magnet in them else they push the door membrane back & cause you leaks

i had my VR done at Alcester Car Care & the result was fantastic unfortunately it took a much longer time than quoted, mainly due to the 1st covid lock down but also as it seems many body places always take a lot longer than they say - however it is quality of work that counts 🙂

ive got a 1.8 16v full car for sale at the moment 😉

good info keyo thanks & yes i make sure i declare all mods to my insurer, always have - in fact this year i had to ring flux back after i received the paperwork as there were only a few mods listed, when i spoke to their customer services the guy checked & said "ahh yes sir, unfortunately we cant fit all of your mods on the paperwork but they are all listed" PMSL

ive still got a set in my 16v but they will be transferred to the VR6 once the valver is sold 🙂

excellent work m8 - good luck & be nice to read the outcome 🙂

thanks to everyone who has reported any spam post - ive been through the full list & deleted the posts & banned the suspects i will try & keep us as pork n ham free as possible now i can chip in as a mod 😄 great work on reinstating the wiki toby!!

i got it direct from pilkington's as my friend has a m8 who works there but try giving them a call direct yes they had stock of various options, clear, blue stripe or green stripe IIRC also options for encapsulate or non-encapsulated but i would recommend the encapsulated as it came with all the trims attached & i think the clips etc only thing it didnt come with was the fitting blocks, which are still available from VW

Hi all just had an update from kurzy - he is approx 30% through the loom making process but has been called back to work for an unspecified time as such it may be 3,4 or 5 weeks until he is back but he will keep me updated & i will put any news on here for everyone to see he did also apologise as he wasnt expecting to be back at work for a while

cool m8, was just a thought encapsulated is definitely the way to go with screens 🙂

cressa - i have a set of the windscreen side trims spare which are brand new from heritage if you need them i brought the encapsulated version of a new windscreen & as such it had all the trim bits already on it

how on earth did you manage to get it up that high!? my VR got the proper wobbles on the trolley jack when i even tried to get it onto mini axle stands lol

i did manage to fit one of the ebay ariel base seals over the top of the base by warming it up in hot water & wrestling it on BUT it was a dodgy way to do it & i bloody slipped & scratched my roof

thanks cressa

lovely jubbly thanks

excellent, many thanks

tidy thanks keyo

additional connectors order with delivery direct to kurzy again 🙂 £34 chaps - £4.85 each between the 7 of us paypal again to [email protected] please kindly

tidy chaps id say we have consensus, i will get the order in tomorrow 🙂

update guys after discussions with kurzy for aesthetics & to enable both side light functions to work would could do with a male connector at each end of the loom IE the 2 females will plug into the headlights themselves & then we will have 2 male connectors which plug back into both sides of the factory loom - as such there will be no need to tape up one side of the factory loom & all connections will be OE looking what are peoples thoughts on me ordering 1 more male connector each? also, he has now ordered all the wire & relays etc & sounds like we are looking at approx £60 for each loom

hi could you please PM me with a price for a pair of late fog lenses? thanks

everyone has now paid, thanks to all ive received shipping confirmation from the connector supplier as well once i have an update from kurzy i will put another post up here
