Anyone want a free Corrado drivers seat, good condition apart from needing new foam in it

In all seriousness I'd be confident someone will buy that.

Corrado seats are the lowest of the low, so it may be someone will re-trim it and give it a whole 'nother life.

Cheers for the heads up on that DH  :smiley:

I'll do some investigating, there is nothing wrong with the structure at all, just needs some new foam in it. Maybe someone off the C forum will take it.

Quick update,

I have got mesen into gear and have booked the car to go in on Monday afternoon and then pick it up Thursday night with a full set of refurbed wheels in a cream colour to match the badges done :laugh: :laugh:

On the negative side, the new front tyres will have to now wait until next month  :embarassed:. Ah well, another months drag racing stylee won't hurt  :grin:. Also had the door card off today and looked at replacing the window motor mechanism................I've booked it into my brothers garage for a cash job  :embarassed:

Pics will follow once the car is back and cleaned  :wink:

Tell me about it  :angry: :angry: :laugh:

I pick it up Thursday evening after work so by my reckoning, Thursday will be the longest day at work this year so far  :laugh:

Also got the headlight protectors at long last yesterday, one clear set for day to day use and a tinted set for the summer  :cool:

Will get some pics together this weekend of all the bits together  :wink:

Well, just had a call from the wheel refurb place................







The car is ready now for collection, all done  :cool: :cool: mega fast turn around  :laugh: the wheels were a right state when I dropped it off on Monday night  :laugh:.



Downside is I can't get back there until Thursday night so the time slow down has already begun  :sad:

Funny you should say that mate.

After I posted the pic I noticed that one of the spokes wasn't totally covered with the cream so as I looked around them there are thin patches of coating on them so they are back in on Monday to be completely re-done  :sad:

At least they have reacted quickly to the problem and are sorting it straight away...........the joys of a 12 month warranty on the refurb  :laugh: :laugh:
