Thx guys thats a great help

I need a couple of small bits if you still have them : Tailgate hinge covers Internal boot light

I've seen this in the parts section, http://www.the-corrado.net/classifieds.php?do=viewitem&itemid=820 and was wondering if a 93 manifiold would fit my 95 VR6. I don't think it will but I thought I'd make sure.

I got quoted £134 at VW for a normal set ! Dubpowers red leads are cheaper but they're 10mm and I don't think they will fit the channels in the plastics. I was under the impression that 8mm was the largest that would fit.

Started cleaning up the engine bay. First job was to restore all the plastic bits on the top of the engine and it's all starting to look goode.. The existing plug leads spoil it now so I need some new ones before I fit all the plastic back on. Red is my preference and I found these online, http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=10796 Has anyone had experience with them ? Or can recommend a supplier of reds in the standard size.

Summers here and I haven't done much with the Corrado since the Elsecar meet, the SL has come out of hibernation so I've been enjoying some open top cruising. I have decided to start changing a few things as this will never really make it to show standard. The first thing was changing the dials to get a bit of colour into what I consider a boring dash. So, out with the old and in with some nice new dials. I really think they look good. I also changed the lighting from green to red. I've always prefered this since the BMW inroduced it. Unfortunately the photo's I've tried to take don't show the true colour. I still can't believe how easy it is to do though. New alloys were put on for Elsecar, I decided to stay with 15" wheels which meant I had a choice of ...errrrrm 1. Good job I actually liked them :) Next thing on the list to do is tidy up the engine bay so I can actually raise the bonnet at meetings without being embarrased. After having talked to Kip at elsecar I'm sure he'l be shaking his head in despair at whats been done lol.

My first show and although I had to leave early I had a great day out. It was a bit embarrasing having to park next to Tony's beautiful silver VR6 but I was just pleased to get my project car there at all :) The cars in the show and shine were fantastic and the best none corrado in my eyes were a couple of lovely mk2 Golfs. Met some nice people and I look forward to seeing you all again Congrats to Kip for winning, that car of yours is magnificent.

All sorted out now and me and the car will be there. The fault was two fold really, The key read coil assembly cable was done. The electrician then found a couple of misconnected cables on the new alarm I had fitted last week. Car starts fine now :) Thx for the help Kip, by the way, do we have admissions to pay on showday ? I think I saw something on the website about £7.

Thanks Kip, I'll give it a go

Well...after all the work done so far and having just spent 4 hours cleaning inside and polishing the outside it looks like my car doesn't want to join everyone at the meet. I went to put it back in the garage and it won't start :( It fires up on starting but then cuts out immediately after firing. I have no idea what the fault it is and I have my local mechanic coming up to look at it today but I don't hold out much hope of it being fixed in time. I can't believe this has happened just before my first club meeting *sigh*. It's been no problem mechanically at all since I bought it. Anyway, I'll keep you posted and I suppose I could still pop down and see you guys in the Merc...at least the weather looks good and I can have the roof down :)

The handling is just fine, I did it more for looks than handling but I have to say it has improved. It wasn't lowered by much, I think it was around 25 - 30mm. I just told my local mechanic how I wanted it to look and he did the rest. He was spot on first time fitted with no further adjustments needed. A little harder obviously but not bone shaking and handles like a go cart :)

Hi Kip, I have no intention at the moment of not sticking with 15" wheels, I love the handling as it is, especially after lowering it. That is my problem with getting different alloys, no one seems to make any 15" alloys that will fit the Corrado these days. I have to say though, I'm not a big fan of the speedlines and will hopefully find a good replacement that's more to my taste I will however be keeping the speedlines and having them available to a new owner of the car if and when I part with it. Junior.... I bought the coilovers (Tuning Art) from Ebay for £165, It's a company in germany and the service I got from them was prompt and efficient. They were fitted with no problem at all. They are presently advertising a different make for £199 but they may be able to get the Tuning Art coilovers if you ask. http://motors-parts.shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=corrado+coilovers&_sacat=131090&_dmpt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&_ssn=mandystrendys-shop&_odkw=&_osacat=131090&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
