Aftermarket parts

[annavr6 10]

Hi Guys

 

Whilst setting up new parts for teh corrado sectio on VW Heritage.com i was looking at aftermarket parts, lights etc

 

Does anyone buy these things anymore, i mean back in teh day loads of people changed lights etc but it seems tehse daysm ost people stick original,

 

So i guessm y question is, is it worth setting up aftermarket parts, lights etc, if yes, what parts would you like to see?

I think more people would like to see the sensible return of fog lenses and indicators over aftermarket parts , stuff like light surrounds and plastic standard exterior trims would sell better I think

Not interested in aftermarket parts, only standard.

[Goldie 2]

Some aftermarket parts (BMCs, some Cams, engine mounts) will sell..

 

I don't think inpro or such a like are going to be popular with the majority..

 

If you could get Hella to make all red rears or top tints then youd be printing money...

Actually all red rears, cams, engine mounts and BMC are a good shout.

I have some cams for G60, 16V, 8V and VR6 set up, these are all on teh new products page, also a few G60 tuning parts, BMC i would love as i really want one for my VR6 lol

 

Early fog lights complete i have set up these can be found on the new products page, Im pretty sure classic parts had some late fogs available too, which are more sought after, or are they each as sought after, ive not owned a corrado before just a mk2 for the last 9 years

Here is a few of the new bitsw ive got up, ive got alot more set up but its awaiting pictures to be taken

Jim you don't want to share do you .

 

Now I'm not being tight but why do these company want to rape us so much it really ****s me right off ! 145 dollars with no Daubt charges for import for two bits of small glass and some glue

 

Same can be seen for all the other items , is it not just me or is everything that's remotely rare just got a stupid price tag ! I'd rather poke my eyes out than give some of these robbing company's my money

Same as

[vw rule 19]

I've just been out in the naff rain and measured my original old later type fog lights.

 

CORRADO LATER FOG:

The base of the lense where it is bonded to the reflector body,

going from left to right is about 142mm to 143mm wide,

then top to bottom is about 80mm.

 

Then looking at the front face of the lense,

this is about 140mm from left to right,

and 78mm to 80mm top to bottom.

 

 

There's some BMW lenses that look about the same,

the BOSCH part number is 1305354933

 

BOSCH LENSE / FOG

The base of the lense where it is bonded to the reflector body,

going from left to right is about 148mm to 150mm wide =(difference of 7mm to 8mm = 3.5mm to 4mm extra each side)

then top to bottom is about 85mm = (diffence of 5mm = 2.5mm extra to take off at top & bottom)

 

Then looking at the front face of the lense,

this is about 141mm from left to right = (diffence of 1mm)

and 80mm top to bottom = (diffence of 1mm to 2mm)

 

Ebay item number: 370669570281

Ebay link for the BOSCH 1305354933 fogs:

Could be very similar to the Saab lenses ??
