Can't beat em Steve. The best sound out of a car stereo IMO, especially for the money they can be got for.

Might be an idea for me to fix up the door speakers

 

I'll swap ya for a brand new Pioneer Mp3 head unit

 

Did you just get that recently Brian and need to move it on?? Are you doing the same with radios as you are with cars these days??

As I said before, it's not my fault when people come up to me and offer me a lot more money than I paid for the cars.

There must be a major shortage of VW's in the southeast

 

gauges look nice steve tidy job,

The bulbs are white, the orange is from a filter in the gauge itself, will try a green light (bright LED) behind them first and see if that makes any difference

 

ahhh i see that could be a problem allright steve, it might be possible to scrape of the orance film, with a
steady hand and sharp blade, mabey not feck it , it looks good anyway

Think I am going to swap the gauges themselves out for a set of VW ones from a Mk1 or Rocco, there seem to be plenty of them on e-bay.com anyways, just have to hear back about the postage and confirm that the light up green

 

you could always go original Corrado ones......as I have.

part No. * * * 536 919 527 * * * Corrado Gauges!

they can be got here now, Parkes VW dealer in Sligo placed an order for me last year sometime when they were well out of production but some nice dude in the Fatherland actually went and got 100 made up because of our request and now partsforaudi bought up what was left.

Thought they only fitted the later ones Dave??? The early Corrado ones was a pod in the same place that holds 2 gauges. They are out of production, saw one set, just the holder no gauges go for £50 on e-bay!! And I'd miss the handy little cubbie hole anyways

 

@Steve

Those will fit both models. but as you say the earlier ones were 2 guages and a separate pod.again now, all are out of production.

Ah well, its done now

 

The audi ones are a nicer job in my opinion as you don't lose the handy cubby in front of the gear handle.
