That's great it really helps me it's a mine field and reading detailing world just makes it worse too many products to chose from Is the bilberry wheel cleaner worth ago to get the thick off I've got a set of polished d90 wheels what's the best metal polish to make them shine? Think I will use the sealer recommend by Sean It's good to get advice before I waste money on products which don't work

Sounds like your going to be busy but I sure it will be worth it -
Thanks guys not drove it yet but hey how much can go wrong:) It's not so bad it's getting MOT this week so it can't be that bad. Picked it up well below my budget so got some cash left to bring it up to scratch over winter. Looking around for someone to do a re spray can anyone recommend anywhere in Yorkshire Where the best place to get spares ? Is there a Haynes type manual for the corrado
-
We'll guys missed out on this car I least he let me know before a 3hour drive. But as they say one door closes another opens .Had my eye on another which needed a re spray and a good tidy so I'm now the owner of a 1996 blue vr6 comes with a large history file original bill of sale and every sale since , VW service stamps upto 85k with 104k on the clock . Some body surface rust on the rear arch and filler cap so looking for a good garage to do the re-spray and a bit of welding (Yorkshire area) so any recommendations most welcome.

Thanks EJ for your in put As for the ride it could do with lifting a bit I must agree I'd like my fillings to stay in my mouth The mpg is not that much of a concern it's only going to be a weekend toy in the summer so I can live with it But overall it looks in good nick and like your say all the things which go wrong have been done so it's well worth a call Will let you know how I go on

Been looking around and this came up http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/corrado/volkswagen-corrado-vr6-1994-ice-grey-violet-show-car/1730762 it was sold on here a year or so ago does any know any thing about this car ? is it worth a look? any advise welcome
-
Thanks EJ got my eye on a few at the moment will attach the link on here for an opinion , like you say lot around at the moment not to bothered by the mileage like you said more chance things have been done. The only thing I will hold out for is a history file to back up the repairs . Don't mind a few mods if done for the right reasons eg SS exhaust If you see any which you think are worth a look please let me know

Hi guys Price range for the rado is 2 k to 3k max still looking around I'm sure a good one will come along

Hi guys my names Mark I have been looking at the forum for a few weeks now and starting to understand the plus points and negative points of owning a corrado. All thats its done is make me want to get one more now than ever. After going to Harewood house a few weeks ago and looking at a very tasty dark grey Vr6 I've been searching the classified section looking for a good one to buy. But none have come up in my price range and the spec I want i'm willing to wait to find the right one. I'm looking for a VR6 in a dark colour with leather and a nice history plan on keeping it a long time. I have two brothers who love there mk2's who show them all the time but that car is just not for me but that doesn't stop them showing me every mk2 for sale. If any one can point me in the right direction for a nice it will be much appreciated Thanks Mark
