The VR6 badge can be removed easily. It's just stick on. The Corrado script badge has pins that go through the panel, as does the rear VW badge which is recessed as well, so removing that will leave a big round hole about 5mm deep.

Am I the only person a the planet who thinks the Daytona is just a bit plain??? Looks like it could have been designed by Triumph............... :shrug: For me, the SL300 Gullwing is by far the best looking classic car ever built.

Yeah I'd say silver for Blackberry. Mine are yellow though so I may not be the best person to ask! :lol:

Wayne, I have VAGCOM so I'll scan your car at the weekend for you too. Also have a 2x2 lead to scan it if required. Bought the 2x2 adapter from ebay for about £3! I had a U281 code reader similar to the one in the link when I had my mk3 Golf. Was a decent bit of kit for the the money, though only gave basic diagnostics so not sure how useful it'll be on OBD1 cars.

I'm in the middle of retrimming mine at the moment. As said about the sunroof/light switch, also visors, grab handle, a,b,c pillar trims, the remove the rear trim which should just pull down. The headlining will then slide out of the boot. The front trims are often a nightmare to remove as they're bonded on due to cowboy screen fitters using far too much sealant.

I have Giorgia. Turned out to be the fusebox to light loom, and the light itself was broken too. The pins on the light unit were loose where the solder had broken down on the pcb.

You have the later style sunroof controls is is. Press up for up, pull back for back. If you have an immobiliser, you should have a little red bit on your key where it faces into the ignition. You also have the tilt bit on your seat missing. I may have one of those too but will have to check.

Not a problem mate! :thumbleft:

I have an eyebrow too I think, unless I binned it. You can have it free if I do, although it has a few small holes where the previous owner bodged it by securing to the headlight surrounds with self tappers!

I have a debadged grille I no longer use Wayne. Try before you buy at the weekend if u like!

Check your oil pump pickup, mine was cracked where the previous owner had run the car too low.

I still watch it come up in the rear view after owning one for 4 years! Lol.

If it's loosing coolant quickly, just use tap water temporarily until it's sorted. You'll only have to replace the lot anyway once it's fixed as there won't be much anti freeze left if your constantly topping up. possible causes are radiator, hoses, or crack pipe from around that area. Keep a close eye on it if I were you until it's fixed. Again mate, if you're comfortable with it until Sunday we can have a good look over and I'll point you in the right direction. Saves a few pennies in garage labour too!

If you can nurse it down at the weekend Wayne, I'll go through everything with you and we can give the car a bit of a healthcheck mate.

I agree tbh. For something so critical, I'd go for OE all day long if available. I think it's a reasonable price though considering. I'm sure the seller won't be making any money as the parts and head refurb would have cost that, so your getting the labour for free tbh.

I'd say yes and no to the previous post Max. Trust me, if you remove the bumper, then remove the centre bolt, the crossmember will drop. It's the inner bolt that holds the crossmember to the rad support iirc. I turned mine upside down and stood on the end when I replaced the bushes. It allowed me a couple of turns to mount them together before nipping up to the correct level.

Look like legal pressed plates. Available from Dubmeister I believe.

It's very fiddly, you may have to raise the engine a little to line them up properly.

Those are the same way round mine are Ian. Mine are a little further in though but that's it mate.

Now that would be fun at 12k rpm! Oh the shame of being left for dead by one of those! :lol: That coupled with a sequential box would be epic tbf.

Looks good mate. Nice little improvement ready to embarrass me that little more in a few weeks.

For god sake James, you seem to know all these little secrets as soon as they go down, and your answers are always so vague! Damn you!!! Spill the bloody beans man! :lol:

Congrats on the sale. Fingers crossed the buyer looks after it, and hopefully it will make another appearance on here soon.

Its what we're here for buddy. :salute:

My old neibour in Plymouth had one of those Sean. (The original one not the coupe). Sounded like a souped up lawnmower! Lol
