Just thought i'd put some photos of my cars up in the members area. I've enjoyed looking at everyone elses, and I hope everyone enjoys these. Red Corrado 1.8 16V H Plate - I've had this about a year, and love it, it came with all the mods already done, alloys, lowered etc, all i've done is added a stereo. i'll probably sell this one soon. Black Corrado 2.9 VR6 M plate - I bought this about two weeks ago, you may have seem it on Ebay. Since then, I've lowered it on the £200 Raceland coilovers from Ebay (bargain), just fitted a Milltek stainless CAT back today, changed the rear lights to Lexus style, fitted stereo, amp etc, and have some Wolfrace Voodoo's on the way (same as the red one). Enjoy

VR6-er, im in Farnham Common, so probably only a couple of miles away from you.

100% agree, I find the already mean looking front end on a Corrado one of the best features, along with the rear, the sides, top, underbody, interior, wing, wheels, boot.............sorry i'm getting carried away. Beautifull enough already!

Slightly off topic, but i like my old wheels so much (Wolfrace Voodoo), I just bought some for my VR aswell. £391 off ebay with two spare Toyo tyres (6 in all). Sorry if I outbid anyone from here, but what a bargain!

Get a lot of looks in petrol stations and car parks, and quite a few 'whats that then?' questions. Have noticed that you get a lot of looks from youngsters in Novas, corsas etc wondering just what the raddo's capable of. (havent quite worked out if its jealosy or ignorance about Corrados, but some even seem to looking down their noses at you). Oh well each to their own. Dont really care what others think, I love Corrados, and they're all beautifull in my eyes.

Mine is a 95 M plate and they went on fine. I had to keep the rubber mounts front and back, but no drilling was required. To tighten the springs, i used my hands to turn the actual spring, and it took the nut with it.(but has resulted in bruising all over my hands, trying too hard I guess!) Fronts are fine, the springs have stayed straight, and i'm probably only lowered two thirds of what is possible. Backs are as high as they will go though, cant really lower any more as the wheels rub on big bumps.(think thats the fact that the wheels are offset a long way, looks like there are spacers, but there aren't any, if that makes sense)

Success, its taken the best part of a day, and ill need to get the tracking done tomorrow, but the racelands are on! Took it for a very short spin, ride is firm but not bone breaking, but it handles a lot better than standard. Did rub on the back arches on big bumps so will have to raise a bit tomorrow, but what a bargain!!

I just got mine today also, great looking for the money, looks like we'll both be busy this weekend!

I've got wolfrace Voodoo's on mine, and I really like them. I've had comments from people saying they look good also. Apologies in advance for the quality of the picture and the state of my car, but just got a VR6 4 days ago, and the 16valver has been a bit neglected.(ill clean them both on the weekend!)
