Adam M 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Guys, I need help. Have sold my corrado :( bought a 205 which I hated and since gone backt o my routes with a mk3 golf gti. Its not as pretty but as a second car it suits me fine and I needed a newer than M reg car to put on a number plate I dont want to keep on retention anymore. Anyway, I am wondering if you guys know of companies that make shorter door lock pins that cant be pulled up if the window is smashed and someone tries to hijack you or break in at night. I tried to ask on the gti site, but they review every message before it is posted and it never went up there, plus you guys ahve always been more friendly. I know that people into their corrados are routed in golfs anyway! Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted May 29, 2003 Take them out !!! replace the pins with some bright LEDs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam M 0 Posted May 29, 2003 thats an idea, but at the mo the car is totally standard, and I would like it to stay looking that way. don't want it having even a small degree of max powerness, thats what the main car is for! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted May 29, 2003 its not max powery. i done it to my old gti and it looked smart and probably confused alot of would be thiefs. Kinda looks like the new golfs with the led in there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C6 SVR 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Try Anti Theft Pins £10 from Trimsport - http://www.trimsport.co.uk. I fitted these to my C last weekend. They don't stick up much and are in totally smooth chrome so difficult to grab hold of. Look good too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam M 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Darren, whats wrong with me in a mk3? 107k miles, P plate, total closure, unmarked three door in mystic pearlescent blue. ABS and my first car with anairbag. full VW history, and drives as if she were brand new, complete with unmarked alloys. I was so chuffed I can't tell you, and I got 1500 change from my G60 to put towards the mortgage after the impreza continues to cripple me. (btw, going on engine dyno on 16th june, if she breaks 900bhp/550lbft, I will let you know :D) miss the corrado, would say I should never have sold it, but needed to put the plate on something. whilst I am here, will someone please go to the dvla website and buy the number plates C11RGE, C11ARG and C11RGD, they would suit any forced induction car! trimsport link doesnt work, is it correct? would rather not go with chrome, but if there is nothing else immediately available.....

Adam M 0 Posted May 29, 2003 spoken to them. what nice people! have ordred the pins - thanks. also getting some solid ally interior door handles rather than the plastic coated ones they sell for the corrado and mk2. Should give me a nice quality feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I fitted these too. They go with the pins very well and look great against the black leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe M 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Sorry Brian, I thought they would have fitted your car easy. :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Yeah, me too!!! They didn't.... I had the door apart anyway, but they are about4-5mm too wide!!! I've seen them in New VW's and i know there is a version for the VR, and a Version for G60's, Golfs etc... It just would of been nice. Dont know what to do with them now.... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Flog them on Brian. Sure someone will take them off your hands. Nudge Nudge. Could do you a swap for some stickers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubster82 0 Posted May 31, 2003 You got any pics Darren? When i tried to fit mine the were definatly too wide, about 3-5mm too big. Length was wine, but they just wouldn't go. And surely you remove the spring? We'll see Tom. Cause it aint looking good for mine.... :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
