I've just read this thread. I like the car. Bad luck bout it coming off the road though. I wanted my dash flocking but is there much point if it needs doing again after a year

Christine is coming off the road as from TOMORROW. Insurance is due tomorrow and tax is due in a months time.

She needs:
-Heater matrix
-Dash out so I can sort fusebox wiring
-Get the dash etc flocked whilst its out
-Refurb the MIMs and either source the missing centre cap or have a set of 4 fab'd up.

In the mean time i'll be using the OH's mk3 SE  :grin: :sick:

Expect some pictures as and when  :cool:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Just had mine done and the guys who did it never mentioned it would only last a year.

They told me that as long as you look after it, it will last a very long time. Easier to clean than I thought too :afro:
'95 Mystic blue Mk3 2.0l 8v - gone
'93 2.0l 16v Corrado - gone (and missed)
'02 A4 Quattro sport - gone
'91 Black 2.1 16v Corrado -gone
'91 Tornado red Mk2
