    Cheers Ben, It's actually metal, I think the current one on the car is laqured, and theres the part that runs under the head lights that is exposed so would have to laquar that.... mine is currently all mashed up where the bonnet latch has ceased and caused some major damange on the panel where is been dropped due to the latch being stuck... considering the front of the car is off in a couple of weeks time, thought it might be a good idea to get the new one on at the same time to straighten it all out and remove some more rusty parts from the engine bay It was just the overall process I wasn

    I do have a question for you paint work guru's.. I have a red slam panel, that I'm going to spray black using aerosols, can I simply primer up over the top, spray black and lacquer?

    Ok.... Ordered a few more bits over last few days... - M6 Polished Rocker Cover Nuts - L041 original VW Spray from ZakParts to respray slam panel. - Fan Guide Ring Ordered from Germany - Radiator Fan Switch - Exhaust Front Silencer - New gear box is now built, Diff Rivets replaced with nuts and bolts, 3.68 Crown Wheel and Pinion, Full new bearings and seals... I think thats about everything I need for the next phase of the project... Hoping to get the tyres swapped onto my new rims in the next few weeks...

    Had a good weekend on the Corrado I've now 95% rebuilt the fan assembely, I'm just waiting on a ring guide to come from Germany before I can re-fit to my new radiator - which my new one did come on Friday, but due to a manufacuing fault with the tank being fitted upside down, its been sent back this morning and i'm currently awaiting a new one to be sent out... but the chaps have been really good and helpful.. Here is the fan assembely; I've now rebuilt the OBD 2 inlet manifold, just need to give a final buffing before fitting and finish polishing a few bolts... bit fitted the throttle body,

  12. VR6Pete
    cool, if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay? My dad is getting me one for xmas you see is it big enough to cover a Corrado?
  13. VR6Pete
    Sorry to hi-jack but on the subject of storage, Im after a good car cover for my corrado... it gets really dusty in my garage for some reason... from the dryer and what not, so wanting a cover to keep it all protected... what size and what cover would be best? Pete
  14. VR6Pete
    not as a fault, but Vince @ stealth talked me through doing some data captures and from the output of these he was able to identify that my MAF was shot... cant remember what this was no, sorry

    Small Update Some of the bits in the engine bay were looking a little rough... soooo off to the sand blasters and powder coaters... The condition of the fan cowel wasnt brilliant, and did blow through in areas when being sand blasted... but i thought it would have been alot worse!!! It looks a lot better than before, looks mint from the top, so really its more preservation on the bottom more than anything....

    it makes me mad (sorry for the thread jack) but if you went to BMW, they pretty much still have every part for 95% of the models theyve produced in the last 20 years!

    Radiator brackets obselete, fuel tank straps, obselete, fuel tank strap mounts, obselete, 90% of the door rubbers / seals obselete, radiator neck, obselete unless you go to VW Heritage to name a few lol
  19. VR6Pete
    you should try owning a corrado.... everything is obselete, even stupid things which is why ive had a lot of items refabricated and restoring as many bits as possible
  20. VR6Pete
    yeah i think OBD1's are obsolete now.... should be able pick up second hand ones easily enough OBD2 MAFs go for about 20 sheets these days.
