Had a feeling this was happening when the RS's went up for sale. :(

In no particular order; Diablo SE, Esprit S4, McClaren F1, Ferrari F40, Dodge Viper. All adorned my bedroom wall!

Trim deluxe have a very good reputation. Do lots of custom show car interiors too.

The clutch kit is just pressure pad and plate. Depending on where they go it, the release bearing will be in other too (might be worth asking as they're only £15 anyway). The forks are quite common defects due to fatigue so be or Crack. Should have you up and running again though!

Welcome! If you have a look in the wiki section there's a good buyers guide too. Good luck with your search!

The bearings are cheap, however the labour is the killer here!

Try to remove the motor first, it may be that it's seized. You should be able to pull it up by hand then. If it's stuck in the guides, you my need to get a dremel or something to cut away the lip of the guides where the captive nuts are. Remove the mechanism, the pull the spoiler out. You'll need new guides then though which hopefully came with your new mechanism.

Bargain in that condition!

I've got these with 288mm calipers and there is tons of clearance! though I cant be 100% sure, I'd be confident in saying they'd easily clear 312mm brakes.

Have you pulled the manual lever out before trying to turn it? Sorry if its a simple one, but worth a try!

Glad its all sorted for you Rob!

I have one. I'll try to dig it out tomorrow, but the horizontal textured part is a little warped (bows in). It'll probably be salvageable with a little heat, but its yours for £5 incl postage if no one else offers one up and you want it mate.

It may be the drivers side one Rob. Close the bonnet gently and push down at the pin area to see how well and when they locate. Its a bit of trial and error when re-fitting them tbh mate. Ians pins and catch do look great when fitted too!

Its probably that the locking mechanism is a little tighter so the spring is slightly engaged Rob. If you loosen the cable off a touch it should be ok. Alternatively, wind out the pins half a turn and try again mate.

I don't think it's owners, in fact it has probably been the other way around from experience. There have been some very good reviews in press over the last 2 years or so as they start coming into the classic bracket. Traders have obviously seen this and have adjusted asking prices accordingly. Private owners have then (rightly so) adjusted their expectations of what they're worth so prices have definitely increased in this time. The vast majority of old dogs have been broken for parts, so the volume for sale has gone down whilst the standard has gone up.

I imagine it would be mate! Look forward to hearing about the progress. The fact you had such a newly refubished engine so recently means that fingers crossed, there aren't too many additional expenses that are usually found when doing this kind of work.

Not at all. A couple of years ago you could have got a good condition set of leather seats and door cards for £4-5 hundred. You may still get lucky, but judging on the most recent prices, it seems you could be almost doubling that.

N3P has 420+ bhp. I think Chris is somewhere around the 400 mark. You're a lucky sod Theo! I've never been in one either, I thought vince had a car that potential customers could have a spin in to see what it was like......

I don't think that's astronomical money but still over priced. I'd imagine it would probably sell at close to that if the dealer held onto it for a little while

Welcome back! Currently out of stock for the LH side at VW heritage https://www.vwheritage.com/535953141b-indicator-clear-left-hand-corrado-92-95 Right side is obsolete so you may need to go with a good used one depending on which side is broken.

Holy thread revival!

Think that's the highest I've seen! Gotta be like triggers broom though surely!?

Good to know Jim, I want to replace mine so nice to know there are alternatives. Seats look very respectable too!

I'm not 100% Chris, but I think I remember reading somewhere that they were £1500 as it happens, which was obviously a significant amount almost 25 year ago. To the OP, I wasn't trying to offend saying about the condition, apologies if it came across that way. As mentioned quite a few people are willing to part with their cash for these so you should get a very acceptable figure for them. GLWS.

There are quite a few marks and defects on these, that said there seem to be quite a few people willing to part with their cash even on this thread! As you've mentioned Chris, you paid £1500 and yours are mint. The seller could probably put these on ebay and get £1500 now if no one on here wanted them. Remember, these were a very expensive factory option. Elec adjustable including all that has already been said also. Its the fact they're so hard to come by now that ensures prices remain high.
