So i don't see anyone else on here from the U.S. so far. I can't be the only one... Somebody come trade me Corrados, please, you fellas have all the good parts! (haha) really tho, does anybody on here want to trade some parts across a really big pond?

What are you looking for? And what have you got to trade? :)

[dieselmunkey 10]

well i'm after quite a few of your euro goodies. from small things like steering wheels, plate tub, under dash trays, a-post trim, b-post trim, center console @ ebrake pull. headlights early or late. some bigger items i'd love to have are your grey cloth seats, i dream of your black cloth recaros. early front bumper.

 

i'm not sure what all you guys over there would be after. nor do i know what you guys didn't get over there that we did. of coarse i can get ahold of anything. also other non-corrado parts. i hear a few of you guys over there are after our power seat belts? i'll be removing mine shortly to change to manual belts. what are you guys after? you tell me!

I'd really like a front bumper but obviously this is a tough item to ship :(

Could you not meet halfway? That's what we did with the seats cos they were quite bulky remember?

really it'd just be pricey because of weight and size. i could manage boxing it up or whatever without issue. i work in collision repair, lots of bumper packaging gets thrown out on a daily basis. i'm going to assume that our rebars are the same, so it'd make the most sense to just exchange the minimum weight of stuff possible. are you guys after both early and late bumpers?

 

i'm really also really interested in your grey cloth seats, i'm sure some of you are familiar with "skinning" the seats, to just the fabric covers. front what few pictures i can find it appears they'd use the same foam as our red dot seats. so just fabric could be shipped for obviously way less expense than a full set of seats.

But then I'd need a boat, also quite pricey :lol:

hey i'm sure i could drum up a nice little pontoon boat, nice and easy... i'm awful curious what it'd run for shipping a bumper cover. i'll do some looking around. assuming i'd be shipping a bumper itd make good sense to pack other smaller parts into the box. is there any other stuff from over here that you fellas are looking for? i only know of the stuff we want from your side of the pond.

I have a set of under trays. From drivers side only..... I see a problem here though as we are RHD over here so our under trays will not fit :(

[dieselmunkey 10]

yaaa, we should probly just exchange entire cars. haha. i'd die for a RHD setup. lots of work tho. I really have no idea what countries over there got LHD. Obviously we never got that option. is anyone here at all interested in power seatbelt setup?

[VAG-hag 0]

not much market for power belts that I know of mate. Mainland Europe are largely LHD :)

Isn't Tempests G60 US spec?

[VAG-hag 0]

[dieselmunkey 10]

oh and another, did the polo 4n ever come with a tachometer? looking for a cluster of this sort for the 82 rabbit, obviously modification will be required, it's already swapped to ABA engine anyhow.
