  1. I saw it last thursday @ gwerks, was looking very nice indeed.. and low! which reminds me.. i have to go check autotrader!
  2. dont really get that? whys steven hawking on there?
  3. how dissapointing. bugga.net and holden in the link, i thought it was gonna be Amanda! :norty:
  4. I ended up buying it didn't I!! :roll: :oops: Well, it’s about time I organised a thread for my G60, and thought I’d use this as the starting point! After these pics were taken, my mate bought replacement front end panels and sunroof. The colour match was okay, but not perfect. The car was MOT'd and a tidier set of standard BBS were bought. The day after everything was done, he offered it to me at a price I couldn’t refuse. The bumpstrips were painstakingly removed shortly after and my inpro's, headlight loom, stereo and MDF boot floor were transferred from my old 16v. http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21945 That was sold to PeteL. Over the summer, I bought: Lupo Wipers Passat rear handles 17" alloys 3 slat grille German Plate This kept me happy until: http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29299 The car wasn’t smashed that bad, but was in need of a respray on the driver’s side. At the same time I decided to have the rest of the paintwork done, so everything matched! It went to Crash, based in Corsham [nr Bath] who did a pretty lousy job first time round. It went straight back to them and in fairness, they were very quick to rectify the faults. I bought a pair of deseamed wingmirrors and these were sprayed and fitted at the same time. Which takes us pretty much up to now. I've just come back from G-werks, to have the car properly serviced and looked after. Although I can do basic servicing [with the help of a mechanic mate!] I wanted to have it properly checked over. At the same time as servicing, the carbon canister was removed, boost return was deleted, and an RS outlet was fitted. The drive home was fun! Next week I’ll post up 'after' pics, of the respray & engine bay. In the mean time, you'll have to make do with these pics, of the car looking a fair bit better then it did in page one! Plans for the near future include: Fitting chrome guage bezels and VDO guages H&R coilovers. MODS: Can this be changed to be my gallery thread please!!

    New wheels?

    they're pretty smart. i guess you need them in 4 stud though! :lol: and 17"s would be better.
  6. horray! i'd love to have umpa lumpas in my car!
  7. You dont want to let a potential buyer see that! :roll: :lol:
  8. i presumed it was a photochop! Looks like a MK3 polo with funny lights!
  9. woah! the mrs MK2 is now in trouble...
  10. yup, nothing to worry about im sure. Its good to have someone independant of the insco, you'll get a fairer settlement.
  11. if its one dent, even of that size it may be able to get pulled out, cant see it costing more than a 1er from a dent removal blokey.
  12. thats a fair comment, but what if the VR youre after goes to someone you wouldnt prefer to have it!? At the end of the day, if someone sticks the right money under your nose, you should take it, whoever they are and whatever their plans for it are. You get the car you want, what does it matter? I was lucky that my car went to someone who's looking after it and has put BBS etc on, but wouldve quite happily sold it to the chavvy kids that came to look at it. I'd have still got the G60 i wanted and thats the main thing! I'd have said the price was fair 6 months ago, but time are bad at the moment. You cant really expect to get the same sort of money on here as VR's seem to be going for. :cry:

    Tornado red

    i have two mates with red C's, one tornado [91], one flash [94] Tornado looks true red.. but quickly fades to pink Flash looks kinda orangey! like in g60greeny's pic
  14. Andy665, fair play mate, i was watching them, but funds dont allow atm!
  15. jeez! Not quite as good as Nathan's effort but not bad! You had 6 months to sell it, wasn't that was a little premature? :twisted: What a bummer. Good luck with sorting it all. :(
  16. PhatVR6, thats really good news! Will be looking out for updates!
  17. thought its worth putting sams paypal address on this page as well, saves trawling back through: Paypal address for this will be: mailto:[email protected]
  18. red battered G plate valver in cirencester a couple of days ago [dont own up if its yours] Then 2 today i caught on the cctv monitor at work! one white, one blue? Funny to see em on TV!
  19. mmm, not bad, better than VW's effort IMO.
