That's the one Rob. I've emailed the place linked to see if they can do them. Mine has worn pretty thin in places and has lifted a bit. It's the paint on the panel it attaches to that bugs me most, but it can't be done right with that sticker still there.

Amen!

Anyone know of anywhere that does these? The inside of my boot is scratched to buggery and I'd like to get it repainted. I want it done properly though rather that masking the sticker, and probably taking it off with the tape afterward anyway! A replacement would be ideal if there is anyone that are reproducing them. Thanks all!

Welcome! Theres no Mulberry, but some describe Blackberry as that. I have however seen Dark Burgundy Pearl, and Sherry Pearl described as mulberry too though. Have a look at the link below. Check the paint code on the options sticker in the boot against the code to be sure which colour it is. Alternatively, stick a pic up here and we'll let you know. :thumbleft: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=37863

Yeah I've got two that are in a reasonable condition. Another one is half the width it should be and looks like a bent stiffy where its so corroded! :lol: I'll see what I can do to get it on as well as possible.

Some big power to be had out of the R. Quite a tasty one here. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=238569.0

I think thats the purpose of them tbh. As mentioned, its not that they prevent metal particles finding their way into places that could cause damage, its to give an indication that there may be something amiss before it becomes catastrophic. They're not exactly expensive, and I don't replace my sump nut every time I do an oil change (just the copper seal) so it won't cost the earth for that little peace of mind.

Rob, did you manage to get any of these? I tried to get some through TPS today but apparently they're no longer available. :(

Tabs ordered today. 68p each from TPS for future reference.

They're coming in under Audi. Should be season after next from what I understand. Think it was the whole reason Stefano Dominicalli was hired by them.

Haha, don't fluck it up Matt!

Just ordered a few from TPS, £2.80 each if anyone wants to know...........

Ah yes, explains why the paint is down to primer in that area on the Aqua one too! :thumbleft:

Legend! Thanks Jim. Most of the plastic tabs are a bit knackered now so I'll get some of them ordered as well. Thanks mate! :thumbleft:

No its not Michael. The photo isn't very good sorry, there are two of them. The top one is flipped over in the pic. I thought they could be seals under the quarter panel windows or something similar, and the tabs look to keep them in place maybe?

These were in the car when it came back from paint, so I can only expect that they came from somewhere! I've had a look on the other Corrado, and I can't see anywhere where they would go. I'm sure I've seen the tabs in the second pic somewhere, but can't for the life of me remember where from! Whatever they are, its time for them to go back now so any help is much appreciated! :thumbleft:

As an ebay troller of all things Corrado, I genuinely think they are on the rise. 2-3 years ago the dregs that had been run into the ground were going for £500-900 in 16v form, and even VR6s could be had for much less than a grand. There are a few of these still about now, but heres the difference, they are much fewer in numbers. It was easy to pick up a decent one for around £1500 at the time too, but I think you'd have to add another 50% on top of that for a reasonable one now. This time of year will always reduce car prices, but even so there are some very nice examples around lately. The ones with engine conversions are seemingly very hard to sell, whereas the absolute original ones are being advertised way overpriced. This increases the expectations in cost to the general public, so those ones with light modifications which the vast majority are, are seeing the benefit. The examples I'm giving above are for cars with a buy it now price, or a classified listing. Those going through auction are hard to judge as it depends on who/how many are at the bidding table. Good cars can still be had at a steel, but its worth viewing before bidding as many people are lazy and won't bother, which means prices will remain low as they are reluctant to pay what its actually worth without seeing.

Surely common sense should prevail here. Most meets of any substance will have been organised by clubs, so injunctions can be placed on said clubs organising further meets if it's members don't behave themselves. I'm sure it's not as cut and dried as the article suggest, as this would include all classic car gatherings of which many of the members will be a little more "mature", and with vehicles that are probably incapable of doing burnouts! As it has said, it's "convenient" for the Police to ban everything associated with these meets, but it tars all motoring enthusiasts with the same brush. As for fracking, we'll leave that for another thread/debate shall we...............

Ahh looks so familiar! You'll have fun putting it all back together let me tell you mate!

Where do you find all these sets of speedlines! Want!

That's a good price. They're not worth a huge amount, but for 6 with plenty of life left in tyres, they should sell pretty quickly at that price.

I've had the same thoughts recently but decided against it in the end as my fronts are near new and rears have about 10k left in them. I think grooved look best unless you have massive disks behind the wheels. They'd be lost behind standard Speedlines regardless though I think.

No mate. The dipstick should just fit snugly into the guide tube.

Bugger! I ordered a load of little bits from Heritage/classic parts on Friday. Could have done with these too but didn't think they were available. Oh well, that'll have to be included in the next order then!

Looks great Sean! :thumbleft:
