VR6 South

What sort of price are these???

He may have been going for the Campaign look. Good buy as well.

Saw two red valvers in Pompey last night - flash red K-plate valver parked opposite the Reg, then a tornado red G-plate just round the corner... Any takers?

 

 

Pretty sure I saw the G plate valver on the A32 Farehan to Gopsort road last week.

Here's a how to from the Polo forum. http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... hp?t=13624. I masked the hidden part of the rim to preserve the remaining laquer and also masked over the bolt holes to stop any crap getting in. Also before re-assembly a thin layer of grease was used where the two parts meet to stop any further corrosion. Watch that the grease doesn't get in the bolt holes as they may cause the rim to crack due to the hydraulic effect. I didn't bother re-laquering the rims and maintained them with a regular polish of Autosol. You will need an M8 torx bit for the bolts which I obtained from my local motor factors for under £4.00. You can do the job without fully removing the tyres, just get the beads split and make sure that paint stripper does not come into contact with the tyre.

Just refurbed a set from my Polo GTI. If the centres are OK, split the rims yourself and polish polish the outer rims. Takes a bit of time but costs next to nothing to do and you have the satisfaction that you did it yourself. A lot of time is taken removing the bolts and this all adds up.

A friend says don't buy a unit from Kenwood as they specialise in food processors! I've ruled out Sony because I'm not keen on the styling.

Sorry to spoil things, The food processor company is a completely different Company :wink: Otherwise I would be able to get discount :) You won't go far wrong with an Alpine.

Stick with the VR as a daily driver. Get something else and you'll end up going back to the VR. I tried using alternatives as daily drivers and 4 cars (VW's) later ended up with two VR's :D .

You don't need to remove the slam panel. Take the battery out, remove the rad hoses, unbolt the fan assembly (bit tricky but can be done with patience!) slide the unit out in the direction of the battery tray (takes abit of jiggling), unbolt radiator and remove the same route as the fan unit. Goes back the way it came out. Took me about 1 1/2 hours as a novice. I'm sure there's a how to on here somewhere :wink:

Set of German Plates from Dubmeister. One fitted, one to go.

Great fun!

Didn't have the heart to see if it had leather............

I bet it waz a woman owner :oops:

No ladies on the forum at the moment then?

thats rude of the garage..

Would have been worse if it went in the srappies for free

bet it didnt cost them £1975 to fix it either!

Safe money that one :!:

The garage purchased it for £25. If it was for sale for that much, I would now have 3 Corrados :wink: It's been provisionally sold for £2k.

Just been down to the scrappies for a couple of parts. On the way back noticed a Corrado outside of a recommended garage. Curiosity got the better of me so went in for a chat and to get a couple of quotes. Asked who owned thr Corrado, apparently the prevous owner took a wrong turn when taking the C to the srappies. He had suffered some running probs and couldn'd be a*sed to get it fixed. To cut a long story short money exchaged hands (£25:00 :shock: :shock: :shock: ) For a one owner 16 valver with a genuine 61k clock :shock: :shock: :shock: On a K plate as well :!:

Remove the sticky residue, clean the originals with some rubber restorer and re-apply with good quality double sided tape, the type that body repair shops use.

Great stuff. Cheers :D

Putting together my Xmas list. What's the best place to get these from :?: and price too :wink:

I also flash people who sit in traffic jams on clear days with fogs on :x Usually french car drivers.

Shouldn't the topic be "Corrado Ignorant Driver Spotting". Mind you I must admit not returning the very occasional wave due to my attention be elsewhere and not having the time to return the wave :oops:

Yeah - sadly plenty of people out there do just consider them to be 'just a car' - though why those people can't just buy a Daewoo Matiz and leave the decent cars to the enthusiasts is beyond me :(

Perhaps they are not worthy of Corrado ownership :!: and should have their vehicles confiscated. Potential owners should be vetted prior to purchasing such a great car.

Are these fitted to later VW's. If so I see a visit to the scrappies coming on :idea:

Why oh why. "speechless"!!!

And Peter Cooper Portsmouth were presumably not in a good mood to only give me about 6%!

That's why the owner spends most of his life abroad on a fat yacht :!:
